Description:	Sherl HazelHorse is the best nicknamewe can give Sherl. He looks likea horse, talks like a horse, andthinks like a horse. In football hecant be beat and he is a phenomin the pitchers box. Sherl flunkedin every subject the first year ofschool, and ever since then he hasbeen carrying fifteen or sixteensubjects and getting nothing butSs.Sam HuttonSamie, the juvenile actor, poserand Head Usher at the HarrisGrand, wants to be a Senior;looks like a Freshman, and is aSophomore. His favorite booksare: The Art Of Making-up,and How to Look Good to theLadies. Just last week, he attended a dance wearing whitetrousers, white hat and whitehose. Some day we trust Samwill devlop into quite a popularfavorite.Allen BuskirkAllen is President of the 1910class and we feel sure that he willmake himself heard. For noise,he can only be equalled by hisbig cousin. Allen is called agun in Geometry and playedbaseball this year. While playingball, he was dubbed flunky, onaccount of his nearness and dear-ness to the Captain.ON THE BRIDGEI loafed around the square one noon hourTill I heard the last bell ring,A tardy mark rose before me,And I was off with a spring.Of the way I started schoolward,If you wish to get a hint,Just go out with the track teamAnd watch the young Dodds sprint.I found the pace too speedyBefore I reached Third Street;My wind began to fail me,And lead seemed on my feet.But I summoned all my courage,To the strength of one last try,For I knew the fate of tardiness,From experience long gone by.At last I reached the building,Nothing doing there,The stairways were deserted,The lower halls were bare.I stood on the steps and pondered,And I scratched my head to thinkWhether to go in tardyOr bolt for the skating rink.A thought of the Seniors record,Not a tardy yet this yearCame and changed my mind in favorOf this record held so dearTake my advice bold Freshmen,Dont bolt for the sake of your class,Or youll find on the list of creditsThat you have failed to pass.94
