THE C M M E X ' 1 ' 17 ELMA FOWLER Elma is a maiden shy, She looks not at the boys. When in class she sits with us. She never makes a noise. FRED CALHOUN I play football! I declaim! My great ambition is to jjain much fame ! In Public SpeakinR-, I think I ' m quite bright, You ' re all so dense not to see it in that light! AGNES FALLON With all my teachers I make a hit (?)

All I know din ' e come from books. I ' m some little worker at the Y. In all I do I rank quite high. LAWRENCE DENMIRE I haven ' t much luck with the ladies. They just can ' t see me at all; But in Manual Training I ' m surely not feigning — I ' ll built that victrola — recall? LORENE HUXLEY Down in Lock ' s I hold full sway.

i8 THE COMMENT DOROTHY HARTLEY Oh, my name ' s Dorothy, Which rhymes with Hartley. I mean to be a commercial maid, Don ' t think I can ' t make the grade. ERNEST FARRELL Earny ' s quite a bashful lad, Winking at girls is his only fad. He has a crop of lovely hair, And as to wit, why he ' s a bear. LORETTA HARMON In the gym is where I shine, And in cooking I am fine. I liked your school so well before, I just came back to learn sor .e more. DOLLIE JOHNSON Everyone says I ' m awfully slow, But I do everything just so. Far better one thing finished, boy far. Than a dozen things with just a start. HOWARD FULTON .Just bring on the business, I can do it every time, But when it comes to Espanol, Well, that ' s just my line. RACHAEL JOHN Here we have our Rachael Christine, Who has just nassed that sweet — teen. The school will miss her much, I trow. Because, of course, she ' ll leave us now.
