THE HOUR GLASS Yes we have brunettes a plenty here and there and everywhere, But Mabel Schmidit claims the distinction of a blond Wig to wear. XV Etty Besty we've fondly nicknamed her that, She's a jolly little lassie, O how she loves to chat! A conscientious, bright little girl is Mary Rogan, Donut do today what will keep 'till tomorrow is her slogan. XVI Eleanor, what difficulty most of us merit, For We're sure to say Elberta when Eleanor we greet. Genius has found a powerful abode, all right In the pen with Which our Marguerite writes. XVII O Francis Clifford, what make you so small we'd like to know? Francis replys, with a grin, I ust haven't the time to grow. At last we've discovered the secret that makes Aileen sweet, 'Tis said she loves our candy so she will eat and eat. XVIII Donienic we sincerely hope, as a lawyer youlll succeed, Please don't. forget the good luck which we've decreed. Hush! Through the hall there comes a shout, then silent relief, VVe're merely paying tribute to our Editor-in-Chief. XIX Thelma, Marion Doud, and Grace Coon too, belong to our horde, Through our struggles, our joys, our griefs, have lent a helping hand. At length We've gathered them in, called each one by his name, But together we are and' will be the Class of '26 just the same. -Edith Bandhold , , ' L Jw f -L If ,, .f se! 1 +-' Mew
