Listen  to  My  Tale  of  Woe.


                       Come,  listen  all  unto  my song,                So  some  of tlu.:nl,  the\·  went  to  work
                          It  is  no  :,illy tale,                          To  make  it  a  succe~s.
                       "I' is  all  about a  won<i<:rful  book.          Some  of them  "·orked  ,·ery  much,

                       The  members  of the  Junior  Class               Some  would  not  try  at  all  to  help
                          •  \  great  year book  were  making,             This  helpless  thing  along .
                       And  often  by  their  anxious  thoughh           They  seemed  to  think  that  all  the  class
                          They set  themseh·es  a  <[Uaking.                II ad  dune  them  some  great  wrong

                       They  knew  that  they  must  write  enough       To  .\lbs  ~IcClintock beloni-,'5  the  praise
                          To  fill  a  hundred  pages ;                     Of  getting  out  this  story.
                       And  then  the  time  they  bad  for  it,         \\'e  wish  that  we  might  crown  her  head

                       And  then  much  money  had  to  come             She  cheered  us  on  from  day  to  day,
