SICNIORS found in all the classes. doing work that none surpassed us, Graded higher than the highest ever given years before! By our courage and our brainses we have opened every door. Closed to us hence nevermore, 'Would you know our deeds of battle' which the underelassmen prattle? XYe can shout about the NYildeats never seen on teams of yore, For as Freshmen we were master, and we met with no disaster lYhen 'gainst other teams in conflict we fought harder than before. XYe were winners. winners. winners. but it made the others sore. .Xnd they'll love us nevermore. XYe are famous for our beauty and our loyalty to duty. XYe've among us baseball stars as were ne'er on teams of yore. In Classrooms we are noted: and we're growing more devoted To our English, shop. and shorthand than we ever were before. Yes. we love old Llnion High, and we're loyal to the core, Loyal now and evermore. ll ear us read our modest story. Charge us not with pure vain glory, For we look toward the tomorrow: all our sins we do deplore- .Xll our evenings in the pool hall. calling Latin one great bore: All our yelling in the classroom. all our marking desks and doors. ln the days to come we're hoping. with temptations ever coping, That our lives will grow more worthy of our boastful words of yore, That is thatwthert-'s nothing more.
