THE EIGHTH FORM PRIMER
_Lest the history of our year
Through passing time grow dimmer,
We've gathered the choicest bits
And put them in a primer._
=A= stands for Athletics, Ambition, and Art,
Since they're packed full of Action we're glad to take part.
=B= is for Bumps, got when sliding at noon;
We often see stars and sometimes the moon.
=C= for Captain ball games, two of which we have won,
And we all agree they are jolly good fun.
=D= is le Duc whose French we found charming,
But a sky downstairs we think most alarming.
=E= is for Eighths. What else could it be?
Energetic, ecstatic, emphatic are we.
=F= is Friar Tuck. In our Robin Hood play
He was bluff, fat, and hearty in quite the right way.
=G= for Graham crackers. They're indeed simple fare,
But they keep us from getting too much outside air.
=H= is the Hill, so covered with sleet
That when we come down, we can't stay on our feet.
=I= stands for Icelandic. Though amusing to hear,
We think we'll not speak it each day in the year.
=J= is for Joking. That is our folly
For rather than sad we choose to be jolly.
=K= for Kicker Sleds. They arrived last December
And furnished good sport for every class member.
=L= is for Luther--Burbank we were told,
Who started the Protestant reformation of old.
=M= is the Mascot that brings us our luck,
And we surely need him to combat Sevens' pluck.
=N= for "Noblesse Oblige," our chosen class aim.
Though sometimes we slip, we strive on just the same.
=O= is Old Girls' Party, to which we escorted
The whole seventh grade; a gay time was reported.
=P= is for Pageant we held Columbus Day,
To tell how brave sailors to our land made way.
