192O THE JAVELIN 1920 When she touches the ivory keys with a bound, She certainly can bring forth a melodious sound. The Senior Jay surely must be stout, And evidently knows what he's about. When you see his muscle ammunition, No doubt you'll surrender your position. Will Kelly a valentine is going to send, To whom, I cannot quite comprehend. He composed the following verse from the start, And says, Dear, this comes from the depths of my heart. Mercy me! Am I in love? Do tell me what's the matter: Every time I think of you, My heart goes pitter-p'atter. Gertrude, possessor of a pair of beautiful brown eyes too, Ascends and descends from room number seven to room number two, When she enters she waves her stick, gives the children a once over olok, And the poor little things stare for the rest of the day into a book. Paul Sanger, the bravest and strongest ol all, Stands so stalwart and tall, One wintry night with masked face he looked into the muzzle of Gertrude's gun- Don't you know a submarine chaser would have been slow compared to his run. I know a little Senior boy whose name is Johnnieg The Freshmen teased him, made him cry: he says: 'Tm going to tell my mamie. She'll come up here and whip you with her palmie, Then yo uwill wish you hadn't teased lit- tle Johnnie. Miss Fay Hogan. -ss-.

1920 THE JAVELIN 1926 Seniors of 1920 The seventeen Seniors in the class of 1920, The faculty of them can say a plenty. But when it really comes to looks and books The class of 1920 are there to deliver the goods. This class consists of great variety, Each one having their own notorietyg But in a very, very short itme I will tell you a little about each one in rhyme. Nelson, clad in kakhi from his head to his feet, Rocked upon the stormy and billowy deep, Went to France, honors for himself he wong Returned to Yukon High with experience worth a ton. Anna, fat, sassy and rolly polly, Says, I think it absolutely folly Not to laugh and be jolly, Even when the teachers' exams. are frercer than hot tamalesf' Bill Halbert, the soldier may brave, Marched forward with a face very graveg Stood on duty with the national guard Until the miners their strike did retard. Be sure and come to the senior bunkg Bring with you plenty of spunk. But best of all 'bring some junk For Eunice, the sweet bride's trunk. Paul Allen, the handsome young bride- groom, Says, Now Eunice I can certainly use the broom. Later, Now Eunice don't cast o'er my life a gloom Just because I refuse to sweep this room. Ola as to size, is the baby of the class, But I tell you she is a shy little lass. One moonlight night she took a jitney ride then paid a dutch dime. Ask her to explain to you the meaning of, I sure had a good time. Have you heard of Steve, the dandy? Who passed to the girls some candy, But when a teacher into the room did walk It would have been quite exciting to hear Steve talk. Fay Gibson, the brown eyed lassie, Sure can feed the boys taffy. One day Raymond says, Fay, the things you say make me blue, And if you don't stop you are going to be the cause of me having the ilu. Marie Taylor, the primary substitute, Says, My goodness, I had rather play a week on a flute Than to interpret notes and have twins to teach hour or five days out of every Week. Raymond is sure some car driverg He goes around the corner like an expert diver. Believe me, when you see him start down the street You had better quickly make a retreat. Have you heard the latest on Fred? How he says, Papa, I want a buggy and a horse named Ted: I want to take my girl to the basket ball game, now I do, And the buggy must be just large enough for two. Colleen is some class blonde, Doesn't deny of the boys she is quite fond. ...6g...
