Che Retrospect Freshmen green, Sophomores witty, Juniors gay. Seniors wise. We wonder how each of these their name they did get, So we’ll think real hard and do our very best to try To give you an acceptible and legitimate reason yet. Green Freshies! Poor little innocent Frosh, yourself your name You gave when you asked, “Where can I find room 23, I forgot” “In the gym are they going to have the football game?” Didn’t you know, little one, room 23 has never moved a jot?” Sophomores witty! Oh dear and how! Don’t you see they just Got over being Freshmen and they think there’s no end To the things they know. At the stupid world they gaze in disgust. They’re egotists thru and thru, they’re feelings ’tis impossible to offend. Juniors gay! What’s the use of studying, what’s the use of worrying, It only wrinkles and gray hair brings. I et us eat, drink, be merry. We’ve just begun to realize that the world owes us a living. Burdens and responsibilities let some other poor fool carry. Seniors wise! Behold their mugs are now overflowing, As an example to all the rest they are held, so angrest, sagneous They so admirably their term have served and now are going Hopes high, courage strong to take the world by storm. Oh gracious! —HELEN SPEIDEL
