Since the return of short skirts they’re valued highly The garters made by Frances Riley. Clara Jean Liles shall be a lady of means And furnish inspiration for Bevelle’s basket- ball teams.

At last I’ve been able to find Doris Ham She’s working in a factory bottling straw- berry jam. Ira Gunn Is a farmer and he thought 'twould do no harm So he took Inez Waites and put her on the farm. Edith Lindsey whom our youth doth scorn ■Shall marry an ambassador English born. Hazel Rich, with her hair all a-curl Has never married and Is still a Rich girl.
