CRIMSON AND GOLD THIE CLASS OIF JUNE, 1928 And now, in June of nineteen twenty-eight, QBecause that is the month and yearly datej We graduate from Townsend Harris I-Iall, A class who quickly step without this wall And meet our fates where others since have sped, Who onward by those fates have since been led. But first, O reader, note what happened here Before we thought to shed this parting tear, Hear how, at first, we could but grope aroundg And how, at last, explored is all this ground. ,Twas in the fall of nineteen twenty-live When we began these greyish walls to strive. We came within, collected money here, And thus began the business of that year. Then was a freshman swimming team, forsooth, And inter-classic tournaments of youth. Of more than passing note were two young men Who did begin their honors even then, And most unusual while we were still so young, Gained numerals, and loud their praise was sung. But none to notice us as yet had deigned, So we, in peace, to Upper C attained. In that fine class we did progress some bit And it was known who for each task was fit, And politicians, athletes, and such men Were found. The Echo started sometime the The council met, was rather smoothly run, While inter-classics sported in the sun. Then too, we had class pins in our first year, Before we made our will or dressed our bier. And now we near the middle section, B, What things of worth occurred then, we shall see. In Lower B, great deeds from us were due, Since by this term each man each other knew. To some extent this promise was redeemed, At least to many men it thuswise seemed. A printed issue of the Echo', came, Achieving for that organ much of fame. A rally of the class was held one day, With minstrel show and other fine display. Triangle games and other things were played And, all in all, a goodly record made. And now, with half of our career behind, To Upper B we came with much to find. fl. I Page Thirty-fve

I Page Thirty-.si CRIMSON AND GOLD In Upper B, how elderly we were. Such tired men, the younger ones shoul But, out of sympathy no doubt, we moved, And many of our number useful proved Since many teams held men of our class And into many clubs our men did mass. Our baseball team did earn, then, more than For our class the Cosenza Trophy won. The Echo did as magazine appear And B proved not to be a lazy year. And many other deeds I must omit, Which truly are for lengthy record fit, Wherefore our B a goodly year did end. And then, at last, in A-dom we did tend. d stir. 7 fun g In Lower A, our class accomplished much, With many of our men on teams and such, Or officers of clubs or of G. O., Or doing our addition to the show . Then too, last term, our banquet brought us fame, Which thing was rather nice fso all did claimj. The Echo , then, did end its goodly run, And on this C. and G. work was begun. Our staff was picked far earlier than of old, And what use promptness was can now be told. And we in soccer tourney held the leadg The championship was ours. Laud the deed! And in debating too, ours was the prize. So at our feet fell crowns of goodly size, Nor were they English crowns, pray understand, But made of rocks and bound by golden band. And crowns and sceptres we did wear right well QBut then, of course, of that we should not tellj Again to treat our hist'ry fall that's passedj, We find that we've reached Upper A at last. Our final term, of course, was best of all, And, truly, much of interest did befall. For dance, for show, for pins, the ablest men, QMore promptly than beforej were chosen then. And those once more brought honor to our name Who had in other terms acquired fame. The Varsity, and our own splendid show, Were well performed, well coached, and-well enow The Senior Dance was planned extremely well. Instructors, too, were there, and Doctor Bell. And, in the company, were many knights And their fair ladies. These were beauteous lights Of fancy, radiant like the silver moon, And, like her, shone on many a low buffoon. I
