It happened the way that all things do, For 'twas only an accident too good to be true. My fame as a spinster had long become known, And my life was a prison without any dome. But to shorten my story and make it worth while, I started to travel and got just a mile When my ship began knocking and swaying about, And I called down below that they'd better watch out. i Now don't begin doubting and think Ifm insane, For it wasn't a Ford, but a big aeroplane. p It was made by the company as you all may know, l Of the brilliant and noted John COX and Charles Rowe. e These two had been members of old green and white, And their fame had since grown and was in the lime-light As luck seemed to have it, my plane gave a bound, l i And at last we both landed on a smooth piece of ground. 2 I felt rather queer for my head got a nick, And when I came to, there stood our Merle Quick. i She had trained and had learned by the aid of Dad's purse, And had gained great esteem and became a trained nurse. il When my head was all plastered and I felt like a larkg The doctor came in,-my old friend, Basil Clark.

P--1 l .L ll' tr I l iff We talked of those days in old F. H. S., Of the class, and the freshmen, and McClure's wittiness. Dr. Clark spoke of Shorty, the light of the school, And said he was now Great Britain's champ fool. But instead of a cent for his allowance and pay, He Was given his board, his clothes, and his stay. He said that Marie Stillwell had married in fame, And was now very happy in a mansion in Spain. I noted the fact that John Coulter, the late, ,ff Had bequeathed his cheese factory to his poor widow Kate. Having now had a chat as both old friends and new, And my head being better, I bid Doc adieu. I soon left Los Angeles, the place where I fell, And determined to go to the Liberty Bell. I became famished and hungry as lunch time grew nigh, S0 I steered her down earthward, and landed on high. The old plane it muttered and sputtered and sighed, And before I could know it, a farmer I spied. And another old friend it happened to be- Fred Hendrix, a raiser of chickens, you see. He invited me in to meet all his kin, And whom should I see but Marian Helvie therein. His romance of school days had long been unknown, For his Martha of Frankfort, to Boston had flown, Her fame as a dancer had grown more and more, For she was in Follies of Forty and Four. Farmer Hendrix was kind, and his wife gave a feed g They both begged me to stay, but I must go with speed. And Whom did I meet but old friend Lena Spray. It seemed as if Lena had come to mishap, And was waiting on table in an apron and cap. In Denver I wandered up one street and down, 'Till a sign I did see, in the heart of the town. It was Deyhle and Crawford, -grandees of the place, And it stated, We fix up your hands and your face. We entered, and low and behold our amaze,- There stood Mary and Frieda of old High School days. They had gone to that place in quest of their health, And had started this parlor, and were gaining much wealth. As We chatted, I noticed a paper's head lines, Which stated that diggers had found some gold mines. As I glanced through the item, I was filled with great awe, For none other it was than Voris Latshaw. Brother Marvin was with him, and by work of both hands, They could turn out the money, and buy millions of lands. My friends proved to be hostesses of much pleasing grace, Thirty-one . ell 11-ee
