When All Together MISS BONNIE DOZER Who taught college Spanish and French . . . And was Dean of Women ... In which capa- city she told baby sitters where to go . . . Except when she fell victim to appendicitis . . . And couldn ' t even Dorm- Mv her her charges in Waid House . . . But she was soon back . . . And all was well. ' O ; I ho made a habit of parties around burning embers in old fire places . . . And thought it might be well to have another telephone installed for the gar- rulous second floor girls . . Perhaps also a sink with per- manent legs . . . Since the old one with its detachable legs made for aspiring twirlers . . . A slip here, a thud there, and a shot in the head — to put it in the vernacular — from the first floor girls . . . Who never knew whether it was a rat they heard when all was quiet at night ... Or a Peeping Tom ... Or a combination . . . Whose aesthetic senses had drawn him to admire the Ward House full piece symphony orchestra.
