The proceeds from one of these dinners was given to the school for the piano fund. A. C. They used to turn the gas down low, So they could not be seen, But courtship in these modern days Is more like this, I ween; An auto in a country road A broken down machine, A pair of occupants who then Turn down the gasoline.

Sf DAY AT M. H. S. Old M. H. S. now dear to us Has seen her students flutter and fuss When January or June draws near; And some come very near to fear As they think of the counts that will be lost If a certain passing mark is not crossed. But some with never a thought or glance Waste the noontime hour with song and dance And when the day for quarterlies comes They hurriedly study picking the crumbs Of knowledge they should have garnered before, Eagerly striving for marks as of yore. Before the piano went into the gym They spent most noons like those of him Who passed at the top in both class and exam, And with care reasoned out the syntax of poenam, Which in other than Caesar is hard to relate Except for Miss Boice who in dreams can translate. The last period after lunch Miss Brown teaches quite some bunch For of all the classes through the live long day The best is the government of the U. S. A. But the best time of all since at nine we met Is after three thirty when all we may forget. N. B.
