The White Rose N all the beautiful garcleus of earth, There is no flower of greater worth Than our lovely rose with its petals white Which iills our hearts with pure delight. With a fragrance sweet it fills the airy Aucl cheers our spirits, oppressed by care, .Ns it turns its Calyx to the light, It speaks of the vauisliiiig of night, No heart can long its beauty resist, XYhether covered with pearls of clewy mist Or sunwarcl its lovely heacl upholclsg Ami its many petals with grace unfolds. 'l'he1i let us cherish this beautiful flower, That in our life it may prove a power XN'liich will help to keep us pure as the suowg And teach us truer and truer to grow. E191

skill that, by the simple contraction of our biceps muscle, we are able to land our missives almost directly in the hand of the intended recipient. 'Tis true that sometimes we have a mishap and then we are exposed to a heartless persecution, but even under such affliction we have not lost our natural buoyancy and joyously continue our strenuous labor. Another of our occupations is that of chewing the cud, which all understand well, is indicative of mental absorption and meditation. A very widely distributed industry, although more common near the south- ern border is called 'fwhisperingf' Harvesting is also carried on to a great extent, the most abundant and most easily gathered crop being that of demerits. Only on rare occasions is our toil remitted, allowing us to indulge in such mild diversions as turning over the leaves in some choice books provided for us. Noted Men In our renowned kingdom are to be found the most famous and people in the world, but space allows us to record here only Women a few of the greatest prominence. To begin with, there are R. Hendrickson and M. Danielson the renowned giants. Of equal fame but in direct contrast are our pigmies, L. Aldrich and G, johnson, M. Brennan also deserves mention as being the most ardent of man haters. Among our most active and enterprising members are L. Fletcher and F. jones, the leaders in all riots and mutinous disturb- ances. Then there are our lady killers, L. Bergman and M. Shuttg also the Browniesf' never known to look into a book and last but not least, the world renowned tenor soloist, M. Wfilson, Many others equally illus- trious might be mentioned but it would only add to our sense of mel- ancholy and regretg for we realize that soon we shall have outgrown our present habitation and be forced to emigrate, leaving behind us none so eminent to occupy the places we leave vacant. l18l
