Jumping and skipping and laughing with glee, She stops short when a new bird she does see. Lillian McQuillan Of course she never has anything im- portant to say. Because she sits and dreams all day.

He likes to pass notes just to fool But worst of all he does this in school. Rose Milo Rose Milo, a girl with dark brown hair And olive eyes you cannot compare, A friend in need — is a friend indeed. This, says Rose, is her creed. John Mish What would happen if John Mish Ever had come true his wish? Then he would surely graduate And leave the teachers to their fate. Genevieve Mnich Who is that girl with beautiful curls That always whispers to the girls ? She belongs to the Handicraft Club, Gen, they all do her dub.

Who works hard under the hot sun. He always has a smile a mile long. Even though the teachers tell him the example is wrong. Frances Novak A smile as fine and broad as day. And laughter which keeps us all so gay, A fine disposition Frances does possess, A sign that she is by God blest.
