6 if f THE JEVVEL THOUGHTS OF A SENIOR ON GRADUATION DAY Now has come the parting of the ways And I must choose- Now fate beckons me to come, To win or lose. I must bid goodbye to sehool and school-day friends To Q0 alone ahead, To stay in one blank, dreary rut for years, Or gain success instead.

Fried lamb chops and strips of bacon And I'd have my picture taken Just to aggrrevate the ladies, don't, you know. I,d go walkin' all day Sunday Maybe do the same on Monday For it's time the men were putting on a show.
