CLASS .POEM
1920 Glass of Bemidji High School
Written by Mildred Argall.
BY the shores of Lake Bemidji
Stood an overcrowded building.
In it there were students plenty,
Without this class of 1920.
So, they pushed US, crowded, cram
med us,
From the building they soon damned
us.
Workers, flunkers, all the rest
All the poor ones, all the best.
Rita is a brilliant lass
In all the subjects leads her class.
Rita lately from Baudette,
We wish she wouldn't leave us yet.
Carolyn Campbell, don't you see,
Will give our valedictory.
AS a magnet does the tack
All hard tasks do her attract.
Lottie French, you'll agree
Is noted for her jollity,
Loves to sing, loves to dance,
Studies when there is a chance
Earl, of great athletic fame,
Has helped to earn Bemidji's name
On his sweater you will see
His sign of victory. Big Blue B.
And Harold Morse, you'll all agree,
No less deserved the Big Blue B.
The football trot, it is the talk,
He changed into the camel walk.
Dorothy Nangle, known as Dot,
At every game is on the spot
With her poppy cheers and cries..
With her flashing big black eyes.
Bernice Wallace, Latin shark,
At her task from light till dark.
WOndrous teacher will she be
Leader in Democracy.
desperate" Crothers, like Ford,
Speeds, he knoweth not what toward,
"VanQuished, he can argue STILL
Takes all jolts with right good will.
Magdalene, with hair so curly,
Surely bewitching grille.
Returned to us about mid-year,
We're truly glad to have her here.
Ethel Marin, mild and meek,
Seldom is she known to speak,
Yet she took so very daring,
Bookkeeping, without much caring.
| Carl and Knute, the Siamese twins,
Always together when trouble begins,
Stick together thru thick and thin,
And never give up till both OF them
win.
Margaret and Gladys and Pearl, you
see,
Called by their classmates the win
some three.
With laughter, and smiles, and gig
giles galore,
Are noticed as soon as they enter the
the door.
Ethel and Barbara, very demure,
Have another effect, l am sure;
Always, their lesson they have on
time,
Never, like some of US, are they be-
hind.
Annie Herring, as rule,
Never thinks of skipping school.
In French she's surely made her
mark.
In fact, she's really quite shark.
| Gladys Getchell. known as Babe,
Scarcely can in church behave.
She lis cute and, Oh, so witty.
That she leaves us is a pity.
Ralph Lofemaker, the man at the
Grand,
AS critic does take a high stand,
Knows every actors expression and
stunt,
His opinion of them is often quite
blunt.
Bertha Webster, our salutatorian,
Like Webster, the noted historian,
Not only in speech can she excel,
But also in science does we'll.
And now, here's our shy Edna Flynn,
Who twice in this school did begin.
She tried to escape, but we've kept
her somehow
And so she will end with us now.
Here's our smiling Myrtle Rain,
With bewitching dimples plain.
Dimples chasing in and out,
When a musical boys about.
Florence Bagley, known as Birdie.
Whom Ebenezer knows as sturdy.
| 0~oo x.,nra Oofoh 1,nnv, haSs $aNA
When Ebenezer won the race.
Vivian Sanderson, gentle and shy,
Never answers back, 1 don't know
| why.
She can dive, and she can swim,
Always comes up again with the same
vim.
Little, modest, sweet, Ruth Stain
