There's a pleasant young lassie named Swank, She's attended by one lean and lank, If affection should win, It would be a sin lf some fellow long Hop should out- rank. We have a young fellow named ..Hop.. Who is noted for brains in his top: Says his rivals are rank when they smile on Miss Swank, But he cannot persuade them to stop. There's Elizabeth with the dark eyes, ln debates she can soon hypnotize, She shook a man john For a curly-haired one, l suppose Elizabeth thinks she is wise. There's smiling and happy olcl Nic, With a few of the dames he's been thick, But most of the time Since Nic's in his prime l'le's never been really love-sick. Page Twenty-three

fage Twenty-Iwo This Moser's career round the place Reminds me of Elmer's sad case, He's sweet on one honey And not for her money, But because of the looks on her face. Then there's Margaret the little, so small, ' She'd be lost in a-dolly's red shawl, ,She may sometime grow For she's not very slow, Thenlflflargaret such jokes will fore- sta . There's a smiling young fellow named Brad He's known as the candy footpad, He's after the cash As quick as a Hash, While he'll argue until one gets mad. There was a young lady named Ruth, Who had a great passion for truth, She said she would die Before she would lie, And she died in the prime of her youth.

Pngf Twvnty-four There's a handsome young fellow, no joke. He follows one Katherine Cocke, And Harold's not slow, l'm sure we all know He'd got it until he is broke. There was a loud person named Winnie, She's neither a Pratt nor she's skinny: And l almost feel sure with her coquettish lure She's somebody's sweet pickaninny. There's a beautiful fellow named Lyman, He reminds one of ancient Simp Simon, His hair is a dream His complexion sweet cream, While his eyes twinkle forth like a diamond. There was a young lady so fat, She was known as a brick not a slat, She's as good as she's pleas- ing, She takes nobody's teasing, And her name it is Miss Jennie Pratt.
