A PARODY fWith Apologies to Riley.J To K. C. N. T. S. some new girls have come to stay, To wash the cups and saucers up and brush the crumbs away, And learn about psychology and how to dust and sweep, To bake the bread and learn to sew and earn their board and keep. And all us other students, we help with the house- work too But we somehow find a little time to see what the Freshmen do. . And listen to the witch tales what the SGDIOFS tell about, And the goblins 'at 'il get you If you don't watch out. On'ct there was a Freshman who said she couldn't sing And played real tag inside the house and mussed up everything, She played the mostest tricks on folks and ran when she should walk, 1 And when she should have been real still, She always had to talk. Every time she heard a noise, She jumped and looked about, The goblins got her and they 'il get you If you don't watch out. And on'ct there was a Junior, Who allus did things wrong, Who made fun of ever' one, and teased folks all day 1 , And cdlrigct when there was company and noted folks was there She mocked 'em and she shocked 'em and dropped the silver-ware l And then she wished she wasn't there, But when she turned to hide, There was two big black things a-standing by her side, And they snatched her up and took her away, 'Fore she knowed what she was 'bout, An' the 'goblins 'ill get you Ef you don't watch out. And then the 'Seniors tell us that when the day is thru, An' the ,16CtI'1C.l1ghtS is all gone out, And the doors IS all locked too, When the clock is striking ten, And there's not a sound And all good folks should be in bed, Instead of walking 'round, Then we should mind our elders, And our teachers fond and dear, And cherish them that loves us, And help the folks that's here, And make this place the bestest home that ever was about, Or the goblins 'ill get YOU, Ef you don't watch out. - A Lost Reputation. Millicent Fuller, dusting around the radiator in guest room, while Dr. Edwards was here: Just look how I burned me on that man's Cradiatorj pipe. Miss Muir: For goodness sake, does that man smoke? I never would have thought it. I certainly am surprised. Page 65

where we are, they are going to put up the new building. Well, on Thanksgiving Day, there were big doings on that tennis court. At about four o'clock they came runing out all ready. About that time I was wishing I hadn't eaten so much pumpkin pie, but I just couldn't miss the fun, so I went downwith Ethel, she was home for dinner that day. The first game was between the juniors and seniors and those poor little juniors were defeated that time. My sister said the senior class always won every game. When they got through with that game of end ball, a couple of us kids played With the ball awhile and first thing I knew they had another game started--this time between some of the teachers and the juniors. Those teachers are game for any- thing like that. Of course, you could tell Whlch W-HS a teacher and which was one of the girls wh0 E098 to school. One of the teachers couldn't hardly run at all. I guess she forgot to take her exercises that day. Well, I guess I don't need to tell you who beat that game-the juniors d1d. Aw, no, you don't have to go home yet! Wait and I'll help you with your arithmetic tonight. I forgot to tell you about the time that a man whose name was Black-no White, Dr. White came to talk about play- ing and religion. He was from the Natlonal Welfare Board, It's funny how I can remember those big words, isn't it? Well, he talked first to the whole school and then they all Went outslde to play. I was one lucky boy that day, to happen along Just in time to see it. Miss Neiderheiser, the President, was out playing, too, and they were all having the best time. They played all their games without any balls or bats or anything. First, they played a game where they were all in a big ring with Dr. White in the middle and Pulls 64 went round and round, singing 'Row, Row, Row your boat.' They kept that up awhile and then started another, something about rabbits. But, oh my, the funniest game of all was one about the mule. They played some more but I had to go home. Woops! there's the five o'clock whistle-Let's run! Ma'll think I had to stay after school. Say, Jim, if I were' au girl, when I got big enough I'd sure go to that Training School. My sister says the best part of .all their athletics is that they can study better, recite better and be glad all the time, be- cause they take care of their bodies as God wants them to do. Good-bye, come over tonight and I'll help you with that arithmetic. Miss Garretson iassigning' Hebrew History les- sonj- We will study the call of Abraham for our next esson. CLater, two Freshman, studyingj t First Freshman: Where did she say we would find the fall of Abraham ? Second Freshman: Well, I've read and read and I can't find it. Ruth Oldham and Mae Fuller looking at an Annual. Ruth Oldham: Here is a picture of Mrs. Car- ter's husband. Mae Fuller: Oh, is it? What is his name?

An Apurrriatinn uf ibut Enrtnrz HE members of the Training School Family wish To express their sincere appreciation of the doctors who have so gladly and willingly given their time, thought, and medical assistance to keep our bodies strong and well. Such unselfish service is like unto His, who said, I am among you as he that serveth. Though we may not be able to return the favor, may we not have the privilege of passing it on, as we go forth, physically well-equipped, to bear the glad tidings of great joy to those in need? Thus shall your service go on and on in ever-widening circles of influence.
