They never thought they would make us do right, But now we are certainly the guiding light. Yes, elder brothers and elder sisters To those that follow in our footsteps. lt's only one short year, and we'll be there So for this world a way we now prepare For colleges, for farms, for ofhces. Still others go to bravely fight our wars. Truly we are quite an outstanding class Witli everything from athletes to scholars And still this class has another year In which to display our hidden virtues.

All of a sudden it happens'- The alarm clock goes off a blastin' Warning me it's getting late Better get upg the bus won't wait. After a while and against my will I pile out acting much like a pill. Next thing to do is to get dressed Put on the clothes that will look best. Down to the table to have some eggs Still moping around and dragging my legs. Onto my face goes some cold water To wake me up like it ought'r. Race around to look for a comb Now the place where I live don't look like After my hair is patted in place I rush out so I won't be late. Soon over the hill comes the bus Up into it go nine of us. Relating the happening of the night before Possibly you'll hear the basketball score. Then to my locker for some books Almost ready for those dirty looks. Teachers are standing ready to yell Then comes the sound of the bell. Hurry to the homeroom before it's too late If you don't make it you go thru red tape. The tape is the office for a pass I'd rather go thru a matter of mass. First period is the study hall Teacher yelling Get on the ball. To go to the library I need a pass About 9125 I get there at last. Off to English then I go Do your homework? The answer's No. About literature I know nothing So she teaches me something 'bout Poe. Civics is next on the list Teacher's threatening with her list. Then around 11:25 Off to algebra I go with a dive. While I'm sitting thru that class joan's stomach goes off with a blast. That's a signal lunch is near All of a sudden the lunch bell I hear. Then with a lot of talk For my lunch do I walk. I C31 my lunch in a hurry Then off to Latin in a flurry. I learn about nouns and conjugations During the next hour it will be vibrations. Then comes the dreatiest subject of all I march down the ZOO hall. There she is waiting for us To teach about sounds and stuff. Finally comes 3:03 At last we are almost free. For the bus I must wait Go home and do homework 'till its late. Get to bed somewhere 'round 'leven Start all over again next morning at seven. JOAN O kErFE 33 5 S rf-.1-, rv fffjfimf W - I Q ,e .L iii! 'av 5, T M A 'if- 4..i ' in f A I , vw gf?
