THE ARENA-Page 15 In German there’s Fraulein Miller, Who is fond of Sauer Kraut and hamberger, Of pretzels and cheese, For her wits, if you please— This “Deutchen Americkanichen MSller.” Sleinmons favors tariff at a high rate, But not officers elected of late, She is a re-pub-1 i-can, Uncle Joe is her man, And her favorite number is eight, (electoral votes.) Now Lottie is our English dealer, Also our oratorical spieler, She is one of the few, So of course it wont do, For anyone to be known as a squealer. Mr. Lawrence, it’s reported, has said, That his wife makes horrible bread, It’s woefully tough, Indigestible stuff. And his friends fear he’ll soon be dead. You have heard of that lady named Dill, Who when the Library does fill, Does say, rather mild, “Don’t act like a child, Let’s everyone get to work and be still.” In Commercial Griffith is queer, But is always full of good cheer, When Jess is not around, You will hear it resound, From all the girls, “What a dear!” Our Selson is surely a peach, Her ideals are away out of reach, On smiles we are fed, Till I fear she’ll soon wed, Unless some other method she seek. This is our faculty team, Each one for welfare ’twould seem, We leave with regret, P. H. S., you bet, Three cheers for the Class of ’13. —C. F., ’13. “Take periods of English Literature for that tired feeling.—relieves fatigue.
