28 THE COMET and' Henry Maze. How cute they look in their blue middy suits! Then let me see-Meryle, Mary, Goldie, Corine, Violet, Irene and Donna have crossed the great divide, the bourne from which no troublers return, the -in other words they're married! Next I see Congress in session, with Lawrence Chat- man, Democratic leader in the Senate, swaying all with his marvelous eloquence, while in the House are Ruth and Dorothy, our representatives from Missouri. Now I'm on a Military Reservation. Isee a sham battle, I hear the blast of trumpets and the sound of tramp- ing feet, and there in the midst of the fray is a regiment or soldiers, led by Homer Martin, with Wallace and Joe marching proudly along. Hi there, Wallace quit your flirting with your sister soldier! shouts Col. Martin. Behind the lines we see the tents of the Red Cross. Within Nell Cormack and Bertha Middleton are caring for the overworked and underfed soldiers, lthat's according to El- bert Foland, head ot the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals! Then suddenly a delegation rushes upon the scene wildly waving white iiags and yelling Peace, peace at any price! It's led by Clinton and fol- lowing are Denice, Lois, Orpha, Hazel and Mabel. Ah, I hear music, beautiful music-it is Agnes singing accompanied by Alice on the violin and Hazel Hill on the piano. Now before me looms Drink Water University where Hazel Farley has charge of the physical culture de- partment, while Madaline preaches the value of the union to labor, and Anna Ferry teaches Art. And now I take a distant Bight to South America and behold!-there is Blanch Hayes in Chile! Suddenly there was a sharp clang at the doorbell and Soph awoke with a start. O dear! she said, there is an- other client. Well, did I tell you all aboutthem? Yes,' I answered and I'm sure we can all be mighty proud of our class of '17. HARRIET HILLIAS.

And we won in oratory Reed it was who won the glory Won the medal as a trophy As a trophy for the Juniors. Our fair maidens had a program Had a minstrel for amusement Had it for the High School pupils. In all sports we are the foremost We it was who beat the Seniors Beat the Seniors and the Freshman Played at basket-ball and beat them Won the trophy and the praises From the other High School classes In attendance we are better Than the other High School classes.
