22 THE ENFIELD ECHO Vera talks faster than any of us, In shorthand she goes the same rate, And another time that she shines Is Friday, in debate. There is one person who’s so slow, Anna is her name; She never seems to start to go But gets there just the same. Our next classmate, Edith, Always has a cheerful smile, Now don’t you think ’twould be better If she were serious once-in-awhile? Mitchell always looks tired, We’d like to know why. ’Tisn’t cuz he’s worked hard, For work he’d never try. William, with all his ahhhhhs, When in class he’s reciting Makes us wonder if he does the same When an essay he is writing. Do you know the maiden By the name of Mae Desso? We are never able to find her, For she’s always on the go. “Who is Fritze?” someone asks. “Why, he’s our President!” shouts the class. A very bashful lad you know, And never is he out for show. To raise him out of bed Dick Livingstone needs a lever. For his motto seems to be, “Better late than never.” Ernest is so very plump One would think that he was lazy. But there you’d surely be mistaken, For about studies he is crazy. In studies Billings is a star, A leader in his class, And in the future we all hope His wisdom wins a lass. Isobel is so quiet She seems so very mild; So we often wonder If she ever gets ril’d. Now Maura seems so very shy, But do not judge by looks; For we are sure she takes delight In avoiding the use of books. Loretta lives in Cedar Street, In the town of Hazardville; She always has a smile for us And we hope she always will. Gourlie looks so sad and lonesome We wonder why ’tis so; Is it because a certain Miss Left E. H. S. a year ago? A smile for everyone has she, This girl, of whom I speak, For Stella is as jolly a girl As anyone could meet. Our teachers saw us at our tasks And marked as best they could; We scanned each other when at play And there’s how each one stood. The standing may not be so high, As marks and records show; But facts mean more than figures And the truth you all should know.
