THE D RAWBRIDGE Nineteen-Twen To LO TTA RIPLEY Lotta makes us jealous, Lotta makes us mad. I.otta makes us sigh for Things we've never had, for Jerry is so handsome, . Jerry is so brave, jerry is as thoughtful As is most any slave, and We who haven't sweethearts, We who haven't beaux, We who've wished for such things As nobody knows, well A Wonder how you got them, Wonder what they say, VVonder if welll ever I-Iave a fiance? To HILDA VON HERRLICH I asked that horrid Senior girl, VVho wrote these slams to please Make my slam sweet and innocent, Imploringly I teased. Instead of that look what she wrote: Now, I-Iilda, dear, don't cry, For some day you'll be studiousg We know it makes you sigh To tell you that you're getting fat, Cheer up! In days to be, . You'll think of former slenderness, Remember wistfully I-Iow, during Castle Senior days, By diet, painfully, You kept yourself from weighing more Than a hundred forty-three! To ETHEL BURNELL We know you'll find it very hard ' To realize the fact, That other towns 'can boast as much As Boston intellect. That worth-while things are done else-where, And worth-while folks 'tis found Can live in other cities, too, Beside your Boston town. 'ro EDITH STRONG Most people see colors in shades or tints, They trichromatic, you see, Then some pathologically make yellow red, Those dichromates quite annoy me. But oh! when it comes to the monochromates I shine with clear brilliancy, For I can see W-lz-i-I-e above everything else, It comes to me quite naturally. To KATHERINE JWCDONAILD Some people hoped that when I came To solemn Senior days, I'd overcome my childishness, Adopt more grown-up ways. So far, it hasn't seemed to work, And I don't know really why, Yet I won't give up hope quite yet, I'll make another try.

Now I can read. Oh! what a wondrous note, And, girls, if you are curious, I'll read you what Jim wrote. I needs must read it once again Before the luncheon bell, Perhaps my room-mates want What Jimmie has to tell.
