Once there was a Sophomore class, All so freshly blooming; Filled with pride and flatteries old, Greatly moved by motives bold, Everything presuming.

Thus their frenzy fuming, Oh, the task of sorting. Decorations were in red, All their pride thus looming. Woe to them their flag they raised, Teachers' love consuming. "Sophomores," said the Principal, "Come that flag of yours must fall, You're too much assuming." Back the sophomores did crawl Vanished all their blooming. A Junior.
