10 CAPTAIN GEORGE H. COLEBANK. On September 8, 1914. a great calamity befell the city of Grafton. It was on that date that they lost Captain Cole- bank. for he came to take command of the Superdreadnaught l 11. S. Of all the commanders our ship has had. Captain Colcbank is proving himself one of the most capable. Well fitted by training on the good ship West Libert) State Normal' and W. V. U..” he took his first command on the M. 11. S.. going from this position to the larger vessel G. 11. S. He was called front this position to the still higher command of the F. 11. S. He has shown unusual ability in the management of both ship and crew, and it is safe to assume that the Super dreadnaught will escape shipwreck and conic to port in safety.

Mr. Colchank of course takes the lead. And gives us whatever we need. If any get gay. He has something to say. To which we most surely should heed. Our advisor’s name is Miss Oldham. If the girls chew gum she will scold ’em. She is helpful and kind. The best we could find. And everyone does as she’s told ’em. Then there is Miss Cora Kincaid. She’s a very fine woman, ’tis said. She gives hut few E’s. Though many V P’s. And we’re glad if she gives us a grade. Miss Neel. you know, teaches us French, And often our ardor she’ll quench. For she conjugates verbs With a flourish of words. As we sit in a row on a bench. W e have a teacher named Dance. For good grades, he gives us a chance. Twould seem very bad. And we all would be sad. If he’d go to the trenches in France. LIMERICKS FOR LIEUTENANTS (By Ruth Watkins.) I’ll start now about our Miss Ross, W ho never is known to be cross. She can teach algebra. And all the folks say. ” ur gain is somebody’s loss. Miss Adams can teach botany. She knows every plant and each tree Till we all do our best. She will give us no rest, I i we pass.

Miss Chriswell teaches Domestic Art, And shows us the styles so lovely and smart. They are all up to date. nd not one minute late. When we wear them we fear Cupid’s dart. Miss Jacobs assists in the sewing. I low we love her she’s no way of knowing. Ml the stitches we take In each garment we make. We try to make a good showing. Another is Mr. Musgrave. nd we think he is awfully brave. For he plows, and he rakes. And fine gardens he makes. His farm knowledge we certainly crave. Miss Wolf is not very tall. And her name doesn’t fit her at all. )f her we arc proud. And we say it aloud. And we come at her beck and her call. There’s one who is known as Miss Newman. Who sends lots of books to the sea- man. So heed to her call. Bring magazines all. And help this helpful Miss Newman. Mr. Moore is often called Daddy, lie’s loved by each lass and laddie. We always do find Him a teacher most kind. So into his classroom we paddy. If at Miss (iaskill you look You can tell she’s a very good cook. Sandwiches she makes, Mso salads and cakes. Not all of it came from her book. 12
