Misses Roberts, Miller, and Phillips sell science. Mr. Rodgers sells biology with a special appliance. The names of Garrison, Hebert, and McCollum appear on a sign, And they sell Chemistry of a very queer kind. Miss Talbot and Miss Stickley are heard with their cry, “Home Ec! Home Ec! On credit! Come buy!” In the next booth Miss Thomas and Mr. Beseler are ihe Spartan plan, And sell physical culture whenever they can. Misses Sparkman and Thornton and Mr. Franck Are venders of commercial knowledge of the very first rank. The next booth is the most attractive of all. Commas, colons, and periods decorate the wall. Misses Gould, Hawthorn, and Johnson are at work, Under the leadership of our most noted Miss Burk. Miss Adams, Miss Roberts, Mrs. Peters and Miss Reese Sell us some literature handed down from Greece. Mr. Hopkins, another English salesman, won high esteem As captain of the Faculty Basketball Team. The next booth is also a popular place. They sell us history of the Caucasian race. “History! History!” is their cry, “Sold at a bargain! Come here and buy!” Mr. Brown, Mr. Ferguson, Mrs. Franck and Miss Crews Are selling knowledge of a political ruse, While Miss Majors and Miss Nachman are doing their best To sell us knowledge of Athens and the rest. And down the halls the students go by, And the peddlers gaze at them with a wistful eye. Finally we come to a rather large booth In which they are selling mathematical truth. There “Trig, Algebra and Geometry galore,” Sold by Mr. Miller, Miss Touchstone, Miss Kilpatrick and Miss Moore, While Mrs. Longmire, Miss Morris, Miss Watkins, and Mr. Jackson, Are salesmen of Arithmetic (addition and subtraction). Gone are the cries of these salesmen and the sights of these booths, And gone are the students with their purchased truths. It may be long before we return to these halls, But we'll never forget the salesmen in the stalls, And how they worked patiently with heartfelt cares, To sell us some of their valuable wares. —Anna Bess Garrett.
