THE (iREEN AND WHITE 17 A crosseyed cat met a crosseyed rat One pleasant day in June; Said the crosseyed cat to the crosseyed rat; I'll eat you for dinner this noon. Once there were two women Who went out for a walk And all they did As women do Was talk and talk and talk. An old black and an old white cat Side by side on the back fence sat The old hlack cat and the old white cat Spat and sputtered and sputtered and spat. HATT1K MANLF.Y, '28. In 1492 Coluthbus sailed the ocean blue. He had nothing on our Lindy true. Who hopped in his plane. And flew, and flew, to fame. The “Spirit of St. Louis left the U. S. A. With its lone passenger who flew a night and day, Till at last in Paris he did alight, Creating good-will with his wonderful flight. ROBERTA MUNRO, '28. Nobody has ever added up The value of current news, Wc know how much a dollar's worth And how much it is used. We know the distance to the sun. The size and weight of earth. But no one here can tell us. How much our news is worth. A. LA CASSE, ’.TO.

To me you arc so very true, The years will pass on and I’ll find My mother’s love will always shine. HELEN VALANTF The Pan-American Congress Was held in old Havana Where the diet of the people Is a nice big ripe banana.
