C is for Clever Ruth Cobb. Whose drawings grow finer and finer; She certainly seems To be given to dreams Of which Larry ' s the only diviner. C is for Viola Crouch, To whom I propose a toast; For a lady so tiny, Her future is shiny; May she ever remain — uppermost! D is for Priscilla Dyer, Unlike the Priscilla of old; So quiet is she, I ' m at a loss, as you see, For her conquests and aims are not told. E is for Rita English, An often disturbing young miss; Her designs though harmonious, Art oft ' lacrimonious; And magenta she uses with bliss. G is for Eleanor Gerbrach, Ingenuous, but ever discreet; For four years she has charmed us. At times, quite alarmed us; A more lovable girl one can ' t meet. G is for Master James Green, Whose secret desire I ' ve been told; Is a red leather chair. To which he ' ll repair; And think of designs to be sold. G is for Helena Gronche, Who knows all about operas and dogs; Her interest biologic. And speech pedagogic; Her listening public befogs. H is for Belle Hershkovitz, By whom we never are bored; Like Puck she astounds us. With laughter surrounds us; From gloom to high spirits restored.

BETTY WYNNE Miniature modiste, delicately etches with silken stitches silvery swallows on turquoise clouds. WANDA ZAIAC North maiden, bathed in glittering Arctic sunlight, smartly splashes ink and paint on bony bejewelled females nine heads high. DESIGN B is for Beatrice Benoit, A meteor flashing and bright; May her fancies and Quest, Ne ' er be suppressed; Her future with glory alight! B is for quick-witted Jo Blatt, At home on a staff or a crew; With vigor and skill. She works brush and quill. Or paddles the students ' canoe. B is for Rosemary Bryan, Whose name for remembrance is known; Her designs of rare quality. Are tinged with her jollity. The seeds of true friendship she ' s sown. B too is for Betty Burckes, Who is ever a friend indeed; In her designs she has shown, A strong mind of her own; From the chains of convention freed. C stands for June Chelland, A study in soft rose and gold; Her designs like herself. Half angel, half elf. Are cast in ethereal mold. D is for Louise Devlin, Who sits by herself in a corner; She pulls forth from her pie. Design plums quite spry; A veritable lady Jack Horner.

H is for Mary J. Hill Wiser by far than an owl; She listens to jokes Of more frivolous folks, With never so much as a growl. H, too, is for Miss Eunice Hood, Ruled by inherent good taste; For hours she muses. Ere colors she chooses. Knowing the folly of haste. O is for Ruth O ' Connel. A naiad Rossetti once drew; With a heart full of hope. She gives fancy free scope; A modernist, vivid and true. R is for Walter Roberts, Whose modern designs we think; Abstract, esoteric. Symbolic, hysteric — • Drive conventional-minded to drink. S is for Eleanor Sanborn, An earnest exponent of Art; She knows how to work. When other folk shirk; And her drawings are straight from the heart. S stands for Master Max Singer, Our champion punster and clown; His humor though keen. Lacks malice and spleen. Hence his scholastic renown. W is for Phyllis Wild, Whose forte is lettering by hand; Her classmates she vexes, With o ' s and with x ' s. That everyone misunderstands. W means Dorothy Wiles, A lady with dimples replete; A worker of skill. With full measure of WILL, Devoid of untoward conceit.
