The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1906-06-15

Stood before my eyes.
OF course that was Duane Mosier,
A bright industrious lad,
Who improved his time in high schoo
And seldom did anything bad.
In early days be was child of nature
Fond Of every precious stone;
But in the regions of his heart
The Coral" reigned alone.
The next name was Hazel North's;
She was winsome little lass
Who always did her very best
And was an honor to our class
Opposite hers was Coral Xix,
The girl with the faxen hair;
III there was any mischief done
She was always there.
Then came Eva Marshall's.
She obeyed nearly every rule;
But some of the teachers always knew
When she did anything wrong il
school.
How well remember one day,
When the rest OF US were TO blame
They laid it all to Eva
And suspended her Just the same
Then / saw Oscar Olson,
Isuppose he's a preacher COW;
he used 10 be interested in them.
Very well ! remember how,
When Sunday nights service was over
He'd 60 TO the minister's home,
suppose to discuss religion,
Though it might not have been that
alone.
Then read Leo Pugsley,
Chemistry student of o.
He always spilled the solution
OF everything we'd mix.
Sometimes he'd spill the alcohol
And set his hands on fire;
We'd all endeavor to put it out,
While the flames rose higher and
higher.
One OF the most industrious
Was known as Jennie Hill.
She proved TO all her classmates
There's a way where there's will"
The next a small and blue eyed girl,
Not content till her work was done,
Made rapid progress IN her studies;
Twas Ruth Stevenson.
Then came Bessie Heckert's name
Shed outdare everyone:
Spent all her time in planning
Something TO have fun.
Mary Hammond, Decatur, Mich,
Appeared Oh the line below;
She only spent one year with US,
In class she was not slow.
Next appeared Willie Killefer's name,
He was called Bill by all.
In winter be was a comedian,
In summer played base ball.
Harley Ball class historian,
Next occupied my mind;
He must be philosopher,
For deeper thinker was hard to
find.
Lynn Reynolds, an artist,
Was q boy admired by all;
He sdent his time as painting
Instead Of playing ball.
NtAI Il LuOuGuI vi Dull IolCumOuu
Whose voice had a musical tone;
She was independent of everyone
And had opinions Of her own.
Charles Wheaton was a good student
Whose hair was blazing red;
He always had some point to make
IN everything be said.
l also saw Fremont Olsen's name,
He was our German star;
When called upon in class he'd say,
"Well, Just translated that far"
Following his was Lillian Pierce,
The hardest worker in the class;
Her motto in the high school was,
Each lesson better than the last"
Then came the ladies' man,
All the girls declare it;
Although he wasn't the only one,
1t happened to be Carl Barrett.
George Kellogg's name then came to
view;
In school be would not shirk,
But always seemed to have good times,
Interminged with the work.
The next was followed by long black
dashes,
The name belonged to me,
And that these we're not credit marks
Was very plain to see.
And upon the next page
! read, Miss Edyth Grimes,
The girl who exceled in chemistry,
Although she failed at times.
Last but not least came Bea Taylor,
And all the notes she'd pass
Were not known by many people
Outside the senior class.
The remaining pages were blank.
Our class roll at an end:
On the pages may the names appear
OF every junior friend
