ALPHABETICAL SONNETINA A is for Ardus, our great fashion plate, When she walks with her beau, she’s always sedate. B is for Blanding, so modest and shy, If you’ve seen her with Sherman, you know that we lie. C is for Curtiss,—in the future you’ll see “Popping the question,’’ on bended knee. D is for Decker, who some day may fly, He and his radio, up in the sky. E is for Eggleston, associated with Church, On ma’s best sofa, they often do perch. F stands for Frances, who is so sarcastic. Wagging her tongue, as if ’twere elastic. G is for Guernsey—but not a cow, “Bee” is much tamer, we all will allow. H is for Horner,—from Lamson did hail, “Blanching” too much, often makes him look pale. I is for Ilda—who acts like a bride, When Homer is walking, close by her side. J is for Johnson, and James the dictator. Who always will argue—sooner or later. K stands for Dot Kratzer, who perpetually flirts. Chasing after butchers, brooksbanks and clerks. L is for Lloyd, the pride of our school, No matter what happens, he always keeps “cool.” M is for Minnoe, and Myers so smart, Never bothering ’bout affairs of the heart. N is for names—names without number, Over them, have we lost much slumber. O is for 0 (zero)—many we’ve had, Tho we deserved them, it made us feel bad. P stands for Patchett,—you all know Bert, When the boys are around, she’s always alert. Q is for Quereau, that great vampire, Love in boy’s hearts does she try to inspire. It in our number, we could not find, Altho we dug deep down in our mind. S is for Smith’s,—the Smiths without end. Dorothy and Russell,—more ’round the bend. T is for Thompson, who did like a date,— That was one reason, he always was late. V stands for Ulyssess,—we studied in History, Why he was there, was always a mystery. V is for Virginia,—oh me! oh my! Russell, always, she has in her eye. AV is for Weeks, and Warner you know, Both always looking for a new beau. X is for xtras, if any there be, Whose names are omitted in this po-et-ry. V is for You, who have to read this, Written by us, two silly young Miss. Z is for something—we can’t think what, Although it’s as ancient, as old King Tut.” LAURA LOVELESS ETHEL PRESTON 20
