SCHOOL NOTES.

THE ANCIENT JOKE OF THE SENIORS.
The "Freshie" stood on the burning
deck,
The flames she did not spurn,
She did not seem to be a bit afraid,
She was too green to burn.
To the Noble Seniors of 1919:
The "Freshies' are young, yet Ike to
laugh,
New jokes are hard to find.
A whole new editorial staff
Can't tickle every mind,
So when we meet some ancient joke
sDressed in modern guise,
We don't frown and say it is fake,
Just laugh-the ."Freshies" are too
wise
With respects,
The FRESHMEN CLASS.
