rage Twenty-Six TUSCOLIAN 192b CLASS POEM OF ’24 The world looked bright to us that day, We poor unlearned iresnies. When to the High School we had strayed, With many conscious blushes. The teachers all were very dear, They turned our work to pleasure. But each one had to be severe, And give to us good measure. We wished and longed for Father Time To turn his tables over. So we, as Sophomores could shine, And win some handsome lover. Old Father Time is very fast, And most before we knew it, Our lot as Juniors then was cast, That day we’ll never rue it. But this new rank meant harder work. We scratched our heads distracted, It was no use to try to shirk, So Virgin was attacked. Still once again we change our name, We’re nowr the haughty Seniors. Each one is seeking greater fame, On in some misdemeanor. We’ve struggled hard through school years. Such good times too we’ve had, l he thought of parting brings big tears To the eyes of each lassie and lad. Alma Mater we must go, We hear that sad refrain. The Gods and Fates have willed it so Forever we’ll praise Thy Name. F. F.—“24”
