GIG CAUSE I TAKE BIOLOGY I aint afeared uv snakes or toads or mice, An things others don't like, I think are mighty nice, I really think that I am awfully brave, Cause frogs, fish and worms are just the thing I've learned to notice common things That I never did before, The ants, the bees, the birds and trees, And other things galore. It's fun to notice nature And just see what she does To flowers in the Spring, the trees in the Fall, Or anything at all. I ain't got loads of book knowledge, But the good substantial stuff Of what goes on and when and why, Every day of life. EVE PERCY'S PRANKS I s I crave.

They entered into the Temple of Learning, the primary department of Lawrence Park Grammar School. Here they came in and went out, year by year, and were commanded to take every subject, as many as twentyffour hundred, more or less. They submitted themselves to all manner of instructors, and departed not from the commands of their teachers. They grew and waxed strong, and it came to pass, at the end of the sixth year, they were transferred to a second temple, one which had recently been constructed to serve the needs of the throng seeking education. Thus they entered Junior High School. It came to pass when the eighth year was nigh done, the great powers held a council, and the class was summoned to a test of knowledge. From the multitude, fiftyfiive were found not wanting, but some there were that the wrath of the instructors was upon, and whence the Hftyfiive had departed, there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth. In the ninth month of the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirtyfone, the class presented themselves before the Chief Rulers, the High School Instructors, both male and female, in whose hands was the power and might to impart wisdom and knowledge. This day occasioned great confusion. Behold! the tongues of the Greenies clove to the roofs of their mouths.
