For teacher dear, not yet asleep Has slipped into her wrap, And walks right up to that room door, Which soon will hear her tap. They hear the hurried footsteps come, And presto! all is still. The light goes out,-in closet doors, Beneath the window sill, Beneath the beds, behind the racks, Some ghostly figures glide, Although they sadly bark their knees, In any place they slide. The teacher comes, she opes the door All's well within it seems, The room mates? They are fast asleep, Enwrapped in girlish dreams. Ah go, dear teacher, never guess, That in the room behind, If you should soon come back again, A different scene you'd find. ,If you should come with silent step, And thus the bunch surprise, You'd see your lovely pupils Eating jam, and cheese, and pies.

They scurried on through dusk and gloom, Until they reached a door, And then they rapped, and waited there, For half a minute more. Kimonas flapped, curl-papers waved, And braids adorned some heads, Which long ago should snug have been Within their little beds. Squeak, scratch went someone-all was still, Except a long drawn sigh, That quickly passed along the group To angels in the sky At length the door is opened and They sniff and cry with joy For now m mldst of fudge and soups, There s no one to annoy Some sit beside the bedsteads while Some lean against the chairs And chatter chatter as they eat.

U1 'S' The President-he of the blond hair and smiling face- . I - - finally recognizes Waldo who wants to run things and who, having triumphantly gazed upon the upturned faces of his envious com- rades proceeds to harrangue the gathering. Waldo: Mr. President and fellow sufferers, we are met here as re- quested by our honorable President to decide whether or not we Cthis vener- able bodyj should dig deep into our empty pockets and bring forth money to purchase a picture of the track-team to be inserted in the 1908 Hackg also to appoint a competent person to attend to the purchasing of the said photo- graph.

Marcy is recognized: Mr, President, I object most strenuously to having this picture printed in our 'I-Iack.' We don't want to put a picture of that dimpled, sweet-faced, golden-haired boy Mr. Waterbury Camp in our year book, People will be looking for nursery rhymes next. Why, the best looking object in the whole picture is Togo, we don't want such a thing in our 'I-Iack' as that group.
