19 2 9 THE SWASTIKIAN Page Seventeen HIGH SCHOOL POEM Take a green little Freshie, Who says they’re not peppy? Let them simmer down, with care, To a situation rare. ’Tis a studious Sophomore, Tossed into this fortune, With lots of action That will give good satisfaction. Dash off with a bright Junior, With joy that will not perish. Garnish with personal style Both correct and well worth while. Top off with a snappy Senior, Who thinks he’s a professor; Our hearts with their memories And our own I’m sure we’ll remember. ’Tis a good looking teacher That puts them ashore. When the last star falls, Remember we’ll conquer it all. —Mary Belle Subler.
