8 BULKELEY NEWS Woe to the heater! Dragon of evil. Numbered among our most terrible foes. Much do we suffer for three weeks and days. On account of its evil caprices and ways. Torture unbearable caused by your madness, Expense and vexation follow our gladness. So if the heater breaks down and will heat you no more. Don’t cheer and jump up and down on the floor; But pray for recovery as soon as you may, And that you will suffer from no long delay. This warning I give you for you may be sure, Pleasure comes before grief which you cannot endure ; Now lest a great debt of lost time you must pay, You should never against your principal pray. But a glance at the face of a Bulkeley boy, Proves the truth of this tale (which perhaps you enjoy.) McCarthy: —“ How many fish did you catch ? ” Anderson: —“ Three. ” McCarthy : —“ But you only have two. ” Anderson: —“ 1 caught two mackeral and one smelt. Carrol comes into Geom. and places one foot above the other. McC-------Here is a demonstration proving that two feet make a yard. ” Instructor (in soph.

BULKELEY NEWS 7 “So for my comrade I will pray That its illness won't be long, But do not pray against me. For you're two hundred strong. “Tomorrow 1 hope to see you In this room to-day so cold, And 1 hope you'll have forgiveness For the heater, so very old. “But here's a pretty little song, To a tune you all know well, “Sing to the Heater’’ is its name Sing it ere I ring the bell.” Delighted we were to hear it And sang with all our might, And then marched out from the school-room, With hearts so very light. Outside again we sang the song, A cheer for the heater we gave, Then happily homeward we did go, Our precious vacation hours to save. Our happiness was unbounded, We had a joyful day; And to lengthen this vacation, We didn't do a thing but pray. Next day the room was cold again. Our prayers were answered; true We would have no school that day, The heater'd blown out a flue. Homeward again we went rejoicing. In idling another day was spent. And when that night we went to bed. Our prayers to God again we sent. And again our prayers were answerd Before sorrow we beheld. For on the next day after. School was kept again; And Mr. Belcher came around; Then started our lingering pain. Oh! Woe to the heater! Terrible Monster! Brin er of heart rending pain and woes.
