There's a lassie from Chino named Martha, They raise none that's louder nor smarter, She's known for her noise, She dodges the boys, l hope some young fellow will starter. There's a runner whose name it is Sam He's as quiet as the proverbial clam, But when someone's around From fair Bellllowers' ground, The way that he talks is no sham. There's Nina who's pure and not fickle, Her humor's too hard for to tickle, She goes her sweet way, She's late day by day But she's never been caught in a pickle. There's a fellow from Denver named Shepard, He's a sleek as the finest old leop- ard, While away on his trip She gave him the slip, And thereby her standing did jeop- ard. Page Twcu ty-five

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.

Page Twenty-six There's a curly-haired lassie named jean, She's quiet, unobtrusive in mien, But sometimes she's gay ln her natural way, l've seen no one our Jean try to queen. Now Clifford looms up in the light, He's one in whom we delight, At basketball fast He's there to the last, He's the boy shows the gamest of fight. There's a busy young person named Sarah, There is no one from Watts who is fairer, By eyes and by smiles The boys she beguiles, And there's no one that Sarah can't snarer. There's a lanky young fellow like some sycamore, Because of his advances the girls all adore His Apollo-like grace And Venus-like face, Ancl yet we all like him, this young Francis Orr.
