CLASS OF 1906, (). II. S. NELLIE MADDEN. Hair black as a raven lias Nell, What she's going to do next you can’t tell. A line housewife is she. And as neat as can be, In the O. II. S. she’s quite a belle. GREENLEAF MERRILL. This dark lad is nicknamed Green, In the tennis court he's often seen; Of athletics lie's fond He'd swim in a duck pond. In his make up there’s nothing that’s mean. RACHEL LUMSDON. Oh. Rachel is a willing lass. She’s a helper in every class; She has a smile for every one. She has her work as she has her fun, Weighed in the balance she’ll more than pass. EDWIN MATHER. 1'his is Edwin, our athletic lad, Of whom we must say, tho ’tis sad That the faces lie can make Certainly do take the cake. And when he isn't good—he's pretty bad. MARY McCUNE. This miss by her mates called Mary, Is neither cross grained nor contrary; She's quiet and prim, And she isn't too slim, Aftd her ways are subdued and not airy.
