James Ballew is very nice Vou’ll nev r see him shooting dice; For a bachelor’s life this boy aspires: Sh! there are a few girls whom he admires. Jerome Blackwell, a secretary skilled. As Kress manager some day she’ll be thrilled This voung ladv is full of wit: She has gained her knowledge bit by bit Why. here’s Harless Bradford, big and stout. He could be a suoerman we read about: He owns the court house in the city of Chase, And someday he’ll run in the governor’s race. Now Evelyn Bragg, a brunette fine, Hasn’t a very serious mind; Evelvn loves to flirt and dance But she’s never a victim to romance. Next on roll is Jack Carter Uncle Sam called him and he will fight harder Tn basket ball we thought he was a wow; But boy! At the Germans he’ll kill and how. Part of the time comes Melba Cobb Commonly know as-the daiw snob. If she should come just twice as much About Pvt Henderson she’d not go nuts. Dot Giles is the next in line She says the city of New Market is just fine. Uncle Sam’s army has her true love. When this man’s around, she’s gentle as a dove. Next on the roll is the belle of Chase Of course, it’s Je »n Housmans with her heart shaped face She is much admired at the U.S.O. As she trips the light fantastic toe.
