-E. Il-' a a SONAH-27 l There was a young lady named Jane, Who cried, 'Tm aware of a pain, But whether 'tis gastritis, Or acute meningitis I really can't quite ascertain. There's a young girl named Ethel V. Hoye, Who is really petite and most coye, She is nice and so pretty, And also quite witty, 'Twould be a shame if she'd been born a boye. There was young nurse, Charlotte Horen, Who read Darwin, Shakespeare and Van Doren, Till it softened her brain And her friends all complain, That her ravings annoy 'em and borem. A young student nurse nicknamed Texas, Had a pain in her right solarfplexus, But by a mistake She took morphine gr. 8 And is now where pain no more may vexus. Pk Ik ik ONE BETTER An Englishman and an American were discussing the respective merits of their fire' proof safes. The Englishman said: I locked my little dog in the safe and then made a fire beneath. When the Hre burned itself out and the safe had cooled down the door was opened and the dog was perfectly all right. Well, said the American, 'LI put a young rooster in my safe, and I built a great fire around the safe itself. For hours it burned, and the outside of the safe was at white heat- I suppose, interrupted the incredulous Englishman, I suppose you're going to tell me the rooster came out and crowed. No, stranger, answered the American. That rooster was frozen stiff! wk ik lk Miss Thompson: L'Here, look what you did! Laundry Employee: I can't see anything wrong with that lace. Miss Thompson: Lace? That was a sheet! Q . Dog-Qaa.-X

,H , , SONAH-27 sl WINDOW STRIPS 1 Every morning when I go on duty, I clean 1ny room as every student should And then I climb up on my chair or table And wash again those little strips of wood. Chorus: Window strips, Window strips, Dirty all day long. What fun 'twould be if the 'Lcleanly threel' Would learn another song. 2 Some days I don't have time to wash my windows, And always on my dresser there will be The cutest little note you ever witnessed. These words inscribed, Dirty strips I see. C liorus: Window strips, Window strips, Dirty all day long. What fun 'twould be if the 'Lcleanly three Would learn another song. 3 There are other days on which I scrub my windows And Charles comes in and washes off my sills, When to my consternation on my dresser That noonfday note is glaring at me still: C horns: How I rave! How I rare! Put my two feet in the air Tell all my friends I got a note, Then clean my room as an antidote. bsANONYMOUS.,1 Pk Pk lk LATE PERMANENTLY J.

nas SONAH-27 I UI' , WPRITCHH ON A DIET Apologies to Edgaf Guest Pritch vows that she'll go on a diet, See chocolate cake and thinks she'll try it. Renounces angel food and pie, But sometimes takes it on the sly. At night before she goes to sleep She has to have something else to eat. Where'er her nursing duties lead her, On calories they lecture to her. The Doctor says Stop this and that For Pritch to get rid of surplus fat. It may sound very easy 'tis true. Pritch says, It's a hard thing to do. Hunger makes a person angry And makes plainest food so tasty. Everyone is tempting you- A little bit of this to chew. They do it sometimes as a jest, ' But Pritch thinks them an awful pest. Now when Pritch was told to diet, She smiled and said that she would try it. But-tempted oft, her courage failed, Up climbed the needle on the scales. For, the lure of food she couldn't refuse So what's the use of trying to lose?
