I've been asked to write a poem, which is a little out of my line,
But I will do my best to make the story rhyme.
I am green and very bashful, and almost scared to death,
But I will see what I can do, and you can do the rest.
At first we were quite numerous, and had a nice large class.
But there are only nine of us that's faithful to the last.
Rebecca Fish, of Trowbridge, is the youngest girl in our class,
Her head is high when she goes by, for the first year's work she's passed;
Then there's Minerva Trowbridge, who is so slim and tall,
She's ready to answer the question at every single call.
Ollie Rumsey, of Millerton, with such wavy golden hair,
And when you hollar "Sickem, Touser " she's right there.
And Pearl, well she's a chum of mine, and I think she's all right,
Sometimes she walks four miles to school and back again at night;
And milks four cows two times a day, and helps her mother work,
Now any girl that does that much will never be a shirk.
Then comes Eva Everitt, with such a freckled nose;
She’s excellent on reading any piece of prose.
Marion Spencer, aged sixteen, who is so very neat,
Will study hard from morn till night and in her cirss she isn’t beat.
And next our organist, who is so very nice,
That when the people speak to her she’s like a chunk of ice.
Then there is the only boy in school, whose name is Bashful George,
If he doesn’t walk or ride his whee, he drives an old gray horse.
Now George is very timid, at the girls he dare not look,
And so his eyes if not his mind, are always on his book.
The there’s Basil Button and Burdette Playfoot, graduated long ago,
Now they’re earning money to attend the picture show.
Dewey, Walter, Rex and Cecil are farmers through and through;
They had to leave our school because there was so much to do.
Leigh Lutz, a telegraph operator, came to school a week;
Think must be he left our school for better work to seek.
Then there is Woodford Fish, who, like George, is bashful too;
Think must be he got discouraged for to him the work was new.
And there is little Eva Smith, who left two months ago.
Neve heard exactly why, but guess she got a beau,
Have any of you seen Kelley, not Kelley from the Emerald Isle
But the one who builds our fires and greets us with a smile?
He’s always kind and thoughtful, while we, alas! Slack!
Are young and thoughtless boys and girls, and we get “off the track”
We often try his patience, does he scolds us? I guess not;
But when it comes to watching us, he’s “Johnny on the spot.”
And now we ask his pardon, for thoughtless, we have been;
We know that he’ll forgive us and return next year again.
And now I bid you all adieu, and thank you for attention’
And may you live to come next year, to our High School convention.
