Then there blew in from around Wilmington way, A lively youngster known as 'Happy Day, She likes to work, she likes to play, But she would rather by far sleep all day. If you really want to please this happy young thing, just ask her to get her gang and sing. Taylor made famous old Kennett Square, And then our Miss Stiner, she came from there. She was reared and raised 'mid quaint old box-hedges, And at breakfast she yells for an egg with brown edges. Keebler sailed in from old Williamsport, And anchored her vessel at our little port. She's an excellent worker, and it has been said, She has as many good points as she has hairs on her h Curwensville, Penna., cannot be found on the map, But for a small thing like that, we don't care a rap. They gave us their best, they sent little Nan, You can't match that youngster, try if you can. She's jolly and generous and wholesome and sweet, She's always in mischief, but to know her is a treat. Everettthen lost its prettiest belle, When Beatrice came to the city to dwell. There the Hower of love in her heart did bloom She yielded with a Sigh, and gave it room. We're sure the fruit will be a solitaire, For she nurses the Hower with tenderest care. Frantzie hails in from Berwick, weire told, She possesses hair of wondrous gold. We are very much afraid she willgo back that way, For she hears from Bob every single day. Then Mildred lVIay landed in our School, ead C She does her work well and practices the Golden Rule. It's really quite exciting about your Class to sing, Why, all their faults vanish like snow banks in Spring. S9

My Classmates my B. M. GQI Let me read you a rhyme of my Classmates fair, They are a wonderful bunch, with virtues rare, They are the best of workers and they are fond of -play They stick right together and are always that way. First Gussie came down from Reading Town, And has earned a reputation of great renown. As the best Class President, and arbetter cook Her many virtues would fill a book. She doesn't say ain't and already so soon And her temper is as sweet as the month of June. A Yanky lass is our little Irene, A match to her blushes is yet to be seen. She is a very good nurse, and she is very sweet, And has a score of admirers down at her feet. ' Then came Schragen from up the State, With a heart of gold as sure as Fate. g She is so very sure and not a bit rash We made her the Treasurer, and she handles the cash. Another young- lady now joined our Class, By the name of Cooper, a likely young lass. A bad case of fever in her course made her stop, But it didn't phase Gracie, she's still on the top. Through the awful war there came to -pass, A wonderful addition to our wonderful Class. After doing her best on her own battlefield, There sailed from Belgium our talented Cecile. Next comes Greenie, not much to tell, lnscribe on her tombstone, She meant well. On Harrisburg we then made a raid, And returned with a typical little Dutch maid, Her last name is Deimler, and Lillie her first, She's so filled with learning, she's ready to burst. 58

And then comes Dorner with eyes so blue, We are mighty glad she brought her fiddle, too. It has afforded much pleasure and many a treat, Old tunes and new, welcome and sweet. Then Lois arrived from Coatesville, P-A, It was thought she was rather too pretty to stay. But she soon developed a heart condition, they say, That is going to end in the old-fashioned way. And now there arrived from Johnstown, the city of water and coal Dear Old Grandma Collobert with a heart of rarest gold. She tries to hide the latter thing, 'neath a curious little growl But when her friends are imposed upon, you ought to hear her howl Then 'flWurdie arrived so bright and clever, From Scotia, the land of Burns and Heather. She tries to b-e severe and boss us around, But a better sport than Murdiei is mighty hard to be found. Then Clem, she blew in from the Laborator-e-e, She's a professional lady 'tis easy to see. She works like a trooper, and tells us all how, But we all love Elizabeth, I'll tell you now. Now comes Anna Noel, the friend of us all, She mothers her patients, the great and the small, Her other good points, she has brothers to spare, She possesses charms, wit, and most wonderful hair. Then arrived Catharine Conard, who is quite free from She's a mighty nice youngster, as good as she's fair. She claims in the School she ne'er smashed a heart, But don't you 'believe her, she'-s about done her part. Her friend Della Miller, is to be found ,close at hand, She's a mighty good fellow, quite full of sand. That she's a good nurse, it's quite plain to see, She displays such an interest in Dichloramine-T. Then comes Betty Walker, who sings for the Class, Her singing is so good, we can't let it pass. She also can talk with her Hngers and to-es, And has more talents than anyone knows. 60 care,
