Junior Class Oflficers CLASS OF 1916. Good classmates all, do you recall When first we entered Redick Hall? Twenty-six in number we, And meek, as Freshmen ought to be ; Yet feeling- full of wondrous knowledge, We ' d, finished High and entered college. What a greeting ' the Seniors gave us, As they kindly came to save us From the envious declamations of that Sophomore class ! How the Juniors gathered ' round us, When by chance somebody found us Planning to get even with that Sophomore class. Being each and all far-sighted. Ere a month we had united To draft a constitution for our Freshman class. We at once placed Finley Jenkins in the presidential chair, And made Efiie Secretary — Effie with her golden hair. If our past had been a mystery, From then on we had a history, For we rooted and we boosted and sold tickets by the score. What a time Miss Gutherie showed us At the party that was owed us For selling Christmas seals, seals galore. ' Twas in that year, on New Year ' s Eve, That, as hosts, the school we did receive.

That we put on on ( lala Day ; How our elders scoffed at its applause ; Said people clapped without a cause ? But its success filled us with cheer ; Oh, glorious ending for our first year! When again we returned to the U. of O., Our numbers were fewer, but our hearts rang truer. And with spirits high and hearts undaunted, One day the Freshmen ' s steps we haunted. Tied their President to a chair. And with marshmallows strewed the air. We had to show them their rightful place, ' Tis the class of ' 16 that sets the pace. On Halloween, to Redick Hall We summoned the students, one and all. We lead them up where the ghosts reside. And sent them back on the devil ' s slide. We promoted athletics, took part in the play That the Dramatic Club gave, and on Gala Day, Aside from our work behind the scenes. Succeeded in portraying A Bachelor ' s Dream. When we came together in our Junior year, A few of our old pals failed to appear ; But ere a week three bright new faces Stepped in and usurped their places. We surnamed ourselves the Jolly Ten, Elected officers, and then, Determining to start a library fund, We gave a concert ; cleared fifty dollars ; Put it at interest, and to the scholars Who sold the most tickets, a party gave. Which was made possible with Miss Anderson ' s aid. Next we, Avith the Seniors, by Dan Cupid ' s leave, Entertained the school on St. Valentine ' s Eve. And friends, just think how great the honor Our class this year had heaped upon her, For from our ranks on Gala Day Came Maid of Honor and Queen of May. We ' ve aimed at sociability and scholarship too, We ' ve done with good will what we ' ve found to do, So all hail to the U. of O., and then To the class of ' 16, the Jolly Ten.
