]01h10E 11 1 1929 Peacoc K m IB SENIOR SCORCHERS A view of the Senior Class In rhyme, they have asked for, alas I These little word sketchings Though they may be rough etchings We present, and hope they will pass. This young man is clever to start. He ' s an artist true to his art You ' ve observed: he ' s a student In all things most prudent And no lassie has yet claimed his heart. Sterling ' s hobby, you know, is his car, He drives it anon and afar. When does he study? Don ' t ask me. Buddy, But he covers the miles in that car. We dub thee: the one office boy; Guarantee that you ' ll never annoy The busy young miss To whom you are bliss; To both of you now, we wish joy. Next specimen, Mr. Dorr Bing. He has never attempted to sing. But what ' s more outlandish. He tries to speak Spanish, And he claims to enjoy it — poor thing. Now Chrystal ' s a mixture indeed, She ' s about as fat as a reed, A gay little praneer, A neat little dancer, They say that she ' s noted for speed. Bill ' s exams drive him to distraction, In his mind they produce a reaction. He keeps scribbling some more But he doesn ' t know what for. Of brains there remain but a fraction. Now Dan ' s like a handsome Greek youth; You ask us, What is our proof? Freshman girls we ' ve heard say so And who more than they know? Oh, we know w e are speaking the truth. Leonard ' s so commendably humble That without a murmur or grumble He the Senior row quits And with the Freshmen he sits; We fear he ' s taken love ' s tumble. You ask, Why the wan white complexion? You ask, Why the dizzy expression ? Spiggot broke with his girl And is all in a whirl: He needs a steady aflFection. Ruth Finch ' s strong point is Home Ec, In other words, she is a Hec. But she knows how to sew And can handle the dough Without ever wasting a speck. Fern Follon ' s a major in Latin, She always tends to her tatin. At school or in house She ' s as still as a mouse And her studies go smoothly as satin. Henry ' s a wizard for news, There ' s little that he cannot use; He ' s onto his job Be it wedding or mob, He ' s after the faintest of clues. Bill Gutches who comes from Osage Finds gay suspenders are quite all the rage; At the gridiron game He ' s won a great fame And he ' s known for his work in the cage. A girl at each end of the line, That condition suit-s Gene Harvey fine, He ' s lonely without them. He ' s happy about them, Lacking women he ' d wither and pine. Though his face often seems to be pink We all know Doc doesn ' t drink : Though you may find him blushing He ' ll not be four-flushing. And he xu as his brain for to think. Art said to his lady, Amo! She said, Oh, Art, is that so? Let ' s make it ' Amaraus ' And I ' ll give my promise That we to the parson shall go. Now Walter is one of our boys Noted some for his avoirdupois, Though he ' s faithful at g ' m He doesn ' t get slim. And meaJs are his unrestrained joys. Fernn enjoys living and life. Has no time for quarreling and strife; She ' s clever as can be. Witty and handy, And she ' s somebody ' s nice little wife. To be a great Mathematician Is his cherished and fondest ambition ; If that ' s Clif ' s desire. Though such fate is dire, He surely has our full permission. This girl is called Mary Frances, She likes to flirt and she dances; She ' s happy and gay And her smile, so they say. Is always so bright, it entrances. Here ' s a really and truly Slim Jim, There ' s nothing fat about him; Yes. he ' s narrow and tall, But then with it all He ' s somewhat stately and trim. Here ' s a fellow known for his wits His laughter will throw you to fits; A mock Marion Talley Was one chapel sally At the nominal charge of two bits. Of her singing one never tires, It always thrills and inspires; To hear her sweet voice Is always our choice. It is one of our cherished desires. Though we feel that we can ' t mention names We ' ll tell you the facts as they came; Our knowledge is slight, But we ' re sure that it ' s right, Esther has educational Ames. This Senior ' s name is Doc Polk, He ' s exceedingly fond of a joke; He likes to philosophize And one of his sayings wise Is, ' Tis hard when a fellow ' s dead broke. A biolog ' major is she. Why she likes it is far beyond me; Bernice thrills at a frog Perched on a log Or a fishy deep in the sea. Now Ruby ' s major is Math., In that we ' d ne ' er stand the gaff; Co-func tions and angles She solves and untangles, Where we ' d weep, she ' s able to laugh. Here is the sheik of the plays. He has the young girls in a daze; It ' s easy to see That Lyie ' s willing to be Rehearsing for nights and for days. To him all school was a bore. He liked to go courting much more, So off in his car Went little Bob Starr And knocked at an Arlington door. Erma has a boy friend, so they say, Who ' s studying far, far away; Train connections are fair So he ' s not always there. And he writes to her ' most ev ' ry day. Our melodious doggerel you ' ve read, We hope it won ' t go to your head. We used every pun ' Cause we wanted some fun; Please now. don ' t mind what we said. Pa e 22
