As the wedding bells will very soon chime, I am sure we can save some expense, If to Maude and Alice we hurry and give The proper marriage license. We'll send Miss Prim to Helen Dix, Of our class she's the saint, Then o-ur actions in algebra Will not cause her to faint. Give Katharine props to hold her up, So she won't always fall, And Anabel a catcher's glove, To seize the captain-ball. A ten-cent bottle of ambition Kindly give to Jean, So that, in Algebra, all day She will not sit and dream. And give to Esther Cohen A large gold medal line, For asking questions in algebra, And taking up lots of time.

She does not talk, she does not laugh, But to her work she'll go. Give Teddy's stick to- Engleman To use- on Anna Casto-r, To keep her quiet, and to stop Reba's Talking faster. Buy two' large bottles of anti-fat For Viola and Dorothy, But, girls, please do not make a mistake, Or forget and send it to- me. And while they are growing small one way Let Ada and Jenny expand, And if they do not grow fast enough, Ethel, lend them a helping hand.
