Some Of the Singers We're Also
Hit.
Graduates Display Accomplish
ments in Interesting Manner.

Hilarity attended the class day exer-
Cises of the senior class of the hlgn
school at the assembly hall this morn
ing. The topical song sung by the boys
OF the senior class called for demon
stration of the ability of the Juniors in
the matter of throwing. At the close or
the song the platform was streWn with
potatoes, onions, cabbage and dozen
varieties Of vegetables. Tine members
of the chorus We're unable to keep To-
gether in the singing of the lines OF
their song on account of their inability
to keep together on the platform and at
the same time dodge the missiles.
The song made such hit that the
chorus was called back. The encore was
q thrust OF fun at the male teachers of
the school. 1t was written to be sung
to the music Three Crows Sat On
Tree" and was as follows;
There were three men upon a fence,
Whittemore, Stout, Magaw

Billie Magee, Magaw.

It is really very shocking and the fact
we should deplOres
But it can't be helped alas, when glass
is green as grass,
They'll funk like lots of others who
have gone before.
And this verse to the music of THE
Tale of q Bumblebee:"
A sub-Freshman neat, idly holding down
spied a sweet pumpkin cross the aisle;
He threw her kiss and she took it, not
For She answered with a sweet eucum-
But Miss Patterson was there and she
grabbed him by the hair,
He said I'll be good, and she said she
guessed he would.
And the way she turned him down was

Come long my son, you are only a few;
There's room in the office for just such
Dry the tears in thine eyes. and don't
Does your mother know you're out. my
son, my baby boy?
