When the Seniors all have gone to

When the Seniors all have gone to
bed,
And at rest are all their minds,
A little Senior still sits up
And YEARLY he grinds.
His Latin takes him sixteen hours,
And ut his physics he goes then;
But when he comes to school next day
He invariably gets ten.
The fellows tease him 'quite few"
And tell him he'll go crazy;
But laughingly he looks at them
And says, "Iou chumps are lazy"
Work on. Ye cheerful grinder
And learn your lessons well,
For when the year is over
Your work will surely tell
