26 THE HOUR GLASS VI VVe bow with awe and 'admiration before our Galli Curci too, Waiting for Alice to make her Prima Donna debut, A buzz, a hum, the explicit description of a Ford, but actually, 'Tis only our dear Harriet endeavoring to act naturally. VII Little Miss Mufet, alias Georggring Bolton, was eating her curds and whey When 'long come a little lad coyly stealing her heart away. Straight from old E'rin's shore blithsome Margaret seems to come VVith her jet black hair, bonny blue eyes and her love for chewing gum. VIII Dorothy Kohl, does not, strange to say, live up to her name In color or disposition, but in hue and nature she is always the same. Although we have lived with her for full four years Her class has not known the true Margaret Myers, it fears. IX But Nellie Jane Detro with her musical laugh And merry little dimple could surely tickle the palate of a calf. Grace loves to answer history questions so clever and' quaintg Come listen to her some day, maybe with laughter you'd faint. X A good sport, a loyal classmate, a friend of everyone, That's the way Bernice has bathed our class with sun. Carry me back to old Virginny, Betty never yet said that, You bet she loves old F. H. S., the place she hangs her hat. XI Here come Edward and Harold who constantly replenish our cheer, Ed?ward with his subtle humor, Harold with his comic jeer. VVe have often wondered at the interest in domestic science VVhich our Lillie displaysg We congratulate the lucky fiance. XII Fans there are of ivory, lace and ostrich plumes galore, But a baseball fan, that's .lack Taber a worthy Senior. Milly Steubing, with her high ideals appreciates bright colors, it is said VVe must confess we know of her preference for one red head. XIII Hills there are, slopes that are steep, that are on a bevel But who has ever seen a hill that is level? Father and Mother Rogers, what a blissful pair they'd be lf 'mother were as conigienial as he! Alas, father sighs, rather be free. XIV O, Eugene, on your tallness, you've been eulogized incessantly it appears But you've one consolation, we'll all look up to you through the years.
