Higher and higher will soar to fame. Mabel Kurley To gain success and happiness, Mabel, You must take and turn your table. Come prepared in every way. Do more work and have less play. Frank Kwapien Frank annoys the teachers in just one way And this annoyance does not him pay. He loves to chew his gum in school Which is even worse than trying to fool.
