Daddy ' s Class Room The Kiiglish room is very (luiel, A mystery profound; We do not dare to even smile. Or inake the slightest sound. We keep our mouths closed very tight, The teacher to provoke ( ' ' ) ; The president trembles every time That Daddy cracks a joke. The Seniors, some few days ago. Went in at 2 P. M.; The teacher told a funny joke. They laughed — but not at him. The joke was new (?), and many a noise I.ssued from every throat ; There surely was a lively time When Daddy cracked that joke. The president leads what some men call A very streinious life. Makes trouble for such students as Laugh at these jokes for spite. But, somehow, when you mention it. He wears a look so grim. And wonders if we laugh at jokes. Or laujih to U(ur liini. Of all sad words of tongue or pen. What might have been seems scarcely half; For what can le nmch worse than this: To hear good joke.s when you can ' t laugh! ' F. B. McLAUHFN.
