C. J. FREW, FLORIST, Broad Street In the Study-Hall I sit, And my thoughts away off flit, And I try to study though it can’t be did. Happy thoughts they fill my dome And I wish 1 were at home. Then I travel off to drawing 9B1. All pupils wishing to use the pass key to the hoys’ locker will please go to Miss Allen with a bible and an innocent appearance.
