ESTHER ARNOLD. This wise little maid-in-law, Who never consulted her paw, Never mixed in a riot, Was always so quiet , This w'ise little maid-in-law. MINNIE CONFIELD. This little lady of modest mien, Finished school when only sixteen. She’s just one fault, how sad to state— She always arrives a minute too late. HENRY FISHER. Our Fisher boy is a nice young man, He’ll do ’most anything, if he thinks he can; He sits and listens to Mr. Heald, Although his mind is out in the field. LENA WEISS. One of the “Wise twins” is pictured here; Clear-eyed and kindly she knows nothing of fear. She is good in her studies, every one; Yet for play is ready when lessons are done. BESSIE JELINEK. This young lady Bessie Complexion so sweet, Appears very dressy And always looks neat. 22

GRACE CURTIS. A dear little girl named Grace, Is known by her smiling face; Her color is pink, She paints—I don't think, This queer little girl named Grace. SAMUEL GOLDSTEIN. Our modest friend, who above does pose, Is able in work, as every one knows; He’ll help any fellow who's ever in need; For this reason alone, he’d be sure to succeed. LYDIA GUHL. No matter what the reason is, No matter what the cause, Her answers to the teacher’s quiz Are worthy of applause. IRWIN WEINER. Irwin is a shy young man, Dodging girls whene’er he can; His heart is light, his eyes so bright Are twinkling ever from morn till night. NETTIE LEVENSON. Is there a girl more fame-inspired, More careful, earnest, yet retired Than Nettie, let her quick appear; We’ll yield her reverence sincere. 21

MAX FRIED. He must have adopted the proverb, Speak when you’re spoken to, Come with a call, Come with a good will, Or come not at all. MARGARET BREEN. Now we come to Margaret, CL I No, she’s not a teacher’s pet. She comes to class-room singing a song, £ And always brings her books along; In spite of this, she says, “Gee Whiz, Here comes another written Quiz.” SARAH SOLOMON. A quiet maid with dark brown eyes, And hair like raven’s wings, Who never fills her days with sighs, But works at useful things. KSENIA PUSKA. Not gloomy or fearful, Or morbid or tearful, But pleasant and cheerful. Is this sweet, modest maid. MARGARET HOHMANN. Girls of her type are always desired, She’ll always find work, and never get fired. Keen-witted, careful and full of ambition, She’ll never, we hope, be out of position. 23
