Show English Students Write Limericks As Class Project The following jingles were selected se-lected from a group written by Mr. Victor's English classes: There was a young girl named Tess; A graduate girl why, yes. She worked all the way, ' But only to say To a certain young- man, "Well, 1 guess." Luana Thompson On June 8th, there's a class from South High Who will say to the old school, "Goodbye." For they've worked good and steady, And now they are ready To go out in the world and rank high. They took algebra, solid geometry, trig., And the answers they totaled were pretty darned big. They would stay home and study, Make teacher their buddy. In our Army and Navy they'll go over big. And in English and history, geometry geom-etry plain The answers they wrote caused a great deal of pain. But they worked pretty hard, Got good marks on their card, And from sluffing they tried to refrain. Now the final promotion is real close on hand, And they all think the old school's been pretty darned grand. So they'll all exclaim loudly And say it quite proudly, "Old South High's the best in the land." Next fall's when the juniors will rate, When they've given the seniors the gate. Their heads they'll hold high, They'll gaze at the sky; And to school they'll most likely come late. Bob Barr There once was a fellow named Who tried baking a chocolate cake. His efforts were in vain And I am in pain. So don't eat a cake baked by Blake. Gordon Ball There was a young girl on a beach. And boy! was she a cute peach. Her father would preach, Her mother would pray, But she got her suntan, anyway. Geraldine Rueckert Our seniors with sad hearts are .. . leaving. The juniors commence with their grieving. We'll miss them, I'm sure When they're with us no more. Goodbye to you seniors who're leaving. These old desks begin to feel hard. I'd rather be home in my yard. The lessons are boring, The students are snoring. Our minds simply won't stay on guard. Gertrude Flowers |
