Cifmnnig Hearn 2-Xftrr In the year 1928, I decided in the fall, To attend the event of the following year, The great Inaugural Ball. When the night arrived I got a seat Away from the noise and din, And watched the guests in gay array, Gracefully saunter in. To my right sat Warren Cooper, He was a Senator now, And the cares of the whole political world Were stamped upon his brow. just then we saw a familiar face, Surely 'twas Marguerite, She was an actress of great renown With the whole world at her feet. They said this wonderful personage Had firstly gotten her start Performing in Eureka High. Mrs. Pringle was the part. Earl Hill walked in importantly, just coming from the farmg He had myrtle in his buttonhole, And Myrtle on his arm.

He was a dentist great, She a reigning society belle NVho led every ball and fete. PAGE TWENTY

A crash was heard, a heavy thud- I heard the plaster fall, And Myrtile Loewenthal descended Into the crowded hall. He was inventor of bean tubes And was testing one, you see, VV hen down he came in awful shame To everybody's glee. Lillian Fulton rushed in, Appalled at the terrible noise. She was dean in an eastern school For wild and unrly boys. Gladys and Mabel then stepped meekly in. Both had a clever lookg They were the court stenographers, So each carried a ponderous book. Near them was Captain Monroe, Gracefully wielding a fan, Conversing with a society dame, Her name was Della McCann. I sawf a handsome lady Whose husbands were but threeg 'Twas blooming Clara Beasley, And she dealt in bigamy. Jessie Ross came dashing in With her most aggressive stareg She was an English Duchess And had the British air. PAGE TWENTY-TWO
