HANNIBAL HIGH SCHOOL 17 Lastly, I went to the cooking de- partment, where Miss Block was spreading crackers with Good Luck oleomargarine and handing them out, begging people to taste and buy her wares. On my departure from the Midway a crowd attracted my attention and, goingup, I found Harold Riley sell- ingwhistles and demonstrating with the song Sweet Alice . 'This excite- ment prevented 1ne from catching my car and, starting out to walk, I was soon picked up by a Maxwell driven by Helen VVells. She had always been an admirer of this make of car and had one at last. Although I en- joyed the trip very much and was delighted at seeing so many acquaint- ances, I was satished with my own allotment in life. -MILDRED COOPER.

y u l t ' in . 'l 1 HANNIBAL HIGH SCHOOL . 19 if POETRY if A Poem With a Moral You can treat a man like a dog, but you can't treatla dog like a man. Hiram Perkins was a farmer, I Lived in this very town, i He got his livin' and riches, too, From the goodness o' the gro.un'. Through ceaselesslabor and sweaty toil ' He'd gained quite some renown For being the richest and stingiest man Thro' all the country roun'. Now Hiram was a hated man And the hate was mixed with fear, For he held-notes and mortgages Of the farmers far and near. And he was a strong hearted feller, Never let their notes run o'er, When the year was bad 'n' they couldn't pay . Because their crops were poorj But he'd hold 'em right to their bar- gain, ' And if they didn't pay He'd come along with Sheriff Jones, And take stock or farm away. N Hiram, he wasn't married, No girl 'ud have him, I guess, So, on this Christmas Eve he sat alone, - Except for his dog, old Bess, Who was lean and famished-lookin', Mebbe fed once a day. . He said dogs could pick their livin'. But dogs ain't built that way. There he sat this evenin' On an, old three-legged stool, Figurin' how he'd raise the milkin' With good, pure water from the . pool. I When his thoughts were rudely broken, For his dog, in walkin' about, Had brushed against his sore foot V A-throbbin' with the gout. Then Hiram grabbed his old ten- gauge, As old, or well-nigh, as he, Forgetting that it hadn't been shot Since the days of sixty-three. He pulled the trigger, after aiming with care, it , Intending to kill the beast. The shot came out, but in the oppo- site way, , . So Hiram is now deceased. Modestly yours, K. SHAKESPEARE KRAZ ED. El There's a. Difference I've been told that reading fiction Like Buffalo Bill and such Would make of me a terrible villain, And -I'd always be in Dutch. And they say that Nicholas Carter, Jesse James, and all the rest, VVere blood and thunder stories, AndL VXghy don't you read the. est. Then I came to Hannibal High School, And I learned to read the best , History, French, Latin and English, All of which I do detest. ' But soon I came to think I liked them, , Rather say, to tolerate, And childhood days were then for- gotten In the rush to conquer fate. In English IV I came near dying When I read about Macbeth, In every act he killed somebody' And never lost a breath. I He certainly was a bloody person And was wicked as could be, But why should Shakespeare write about him And such awful men as he. ' . K. KELLOGG. 'r EL ,.,. She loves its gentle warble, She loves its merry How, She loves to wind her mouth up, And she loves to make it go.
