School Remembrances

Questions:

O, where are the classmates of yesterday,

The fellows we knew in school?

Oh, what has become of the studious one

And where, oh where is the fool? 

What has become of the orator

Whose passion was to recite,

And the bashful kid who could speak no piece

Unless he succumbed to fright?

Oh what has become of the model boy

Who was always the teacher's pet?

And where, oh where is the tough young nut. .

The one we can never forget?

Answers:

The studious one, so we have been told

Is driving a hack these days,

While the fool owns stock in a bank or two,

Anda railroad that always pays.

The orator that we knew so well

Is a clerk in a dry goods store,

While the bashful kid we knew has been

In Congress ten years or more.

The model boy is behind the bars,

for stealing the neighbor's cow.

And you as what of the tough young nut?

Oh. . . he's a Bishop now!
