Senior Class Lingers On in Student Verse and Gifted Lunacy
A humorous school chronicle catalogs the 1902 senior class at West Wooster in rapid exaggeration. Victor Wilhelm and Charley Derr lack laughter and speech while Rowland shines in song. The piece riffs on languages, poetry readings, a rummage sale and a Virgil pony, ending with a farewell motto about virtue and honor.
