THE SOPHOMORE CLASS.
Oh what a class we are!
Such friends never were before.
A bit of mischief now
And then, but honest to the care.
Our little quarrels come
Out all right in the end;
Fore’er and for’er
Well be each others friend.
We’re too old for laughtejr
Too young for dignity,
Giggling is only left.
And that does quite badly.
i
All the girls have a dozen beaux
And all the boys lassies
We wonder if at schools' end
There will be many passes.
i
The dreams of youth are in the air
Ambition’s leading on.
And we’ll reach the goal some day
With our work well done.

We wish also to thank the millions of smokers
throughout the country for the appreciation
they are showing for our new Humidor Pack
as is evidenced by the notable increase in the
sale of Camel cigarettes*
By means of this dust-proof, germ-proof,
moisture-proof Cellophane wrapping the
rich aroma and full flavor of choice Turkish
and mellow Domestic tobaccos have been
air-sealed in Camels for your enjoyment*
If you have not tried Camels in the Humidor
Pack all we ask is that you switch over to this
brand for one day*
After y6u have learned how much milder,
how much cooler, how much more enjoy
able it is to smoke a perfectly conditioned
fresh cigarette, go back to the harsh hotnesa
of stale cigarettes if you can.

BOYS.
We sophomore boys of 1931,
Have a pretty hard time,
But still we have a good bit of fun.
Gee! I can’t hardly make this
rhyme.

We can’t hardly pass to save our
soul,
But we’ll be juniors soon you
know.
Still some of us haven’t paid our
tole,
And we won’t have good records
to show.
James Lyon has written across his
books,
Why do boys leave home?
Well, I don’t know but they usual
ly turn out to be crooks,
I’d guess they just like to roam.
