SOME CLASSIFIED HOPES

kindergarten and wondering what school will be like

If they will read nice stories to them Then follow the
nth and sixth graders each with bag marbles think
ing not much about the teachers the number of mar

their heels follow the seventh and eighth graders hoping
the new teacher will be nearsghted they can throw
paper wads and orange peel and figuring out how many
gays they must wait before it would be proper play

such an important air and dozen books under one

clouds with his eyes fixed upon imaginary stars Of
the future How he ignores the graders Next come the
sophomores and juniors the latter looking ahead to next
year, when they will be seniors and the former thinking
how they will have to work to make the time lost
the before Last but not least appears the envied
senior possibly in the depths of heart feeling lust
little bit sad to think this his last year high school
But the good times before him drown the and his
face broad SMILE He belongs to the favored class
and laughs to himself he plans how he will take
little of the Importance out of that "freshy' in front
of him. for is it not his duty to keep freshmen where
they belong and show them that the world really could
get along without thems Surely the opening Of school
