10 THE COLUMBIAD A school paper ' s a great invention ; The staff gets all the fame ; The printer gets all the money — And the editor gets the blame. C. H. — ‘‘The other day when I was driving the Ford I came to a river and there was no bridge in sight. I didn’t know how to get the machine across.” Dahl — “What did you do?” C. H. — “Oh, I sat down and thought it over.” COLLEGE ENGLISH JINGLES. Miss Avis Barlow’s our language scholar And thus has won much fame : Though we never see her studying Her rank remains the same. Miss Marion Flagg’s our smartest girl. She gained the highest honors ; She spends her time a-studying Not hanging ’round the corners. Miss Grace Haynes, our chauffeur. Can certainly drive a car ; She says she’d rather Ford it Than Dodge it ; yes, by far ! M. L. Kempton’s the senior belle. And has a winning smile; She surely can write lengthy notes To pass to No. 3 aisle. E. Sweeney’s quite a flirt, you know. At recess it is queer. To see Elizabeth’s big eyes roll When Ward’s truck driver’s near.

THE COLUMBIAD 11 Blatt is our Caruso, He’s some fine dancer, too ; He goes to dancing school each week. Come, Barney, who attracts you? Ed. Coughlin is our Germany, Of countries he has two, And with a little practice He’d have made a “Tutor,” too. Joe Dahl is “Dick,” the butler, He would make us quite a chef: In school he’s interested In his neighbors on the left. Pat Hooper, our worthy president. Is witty, you can bet. He’s dead gone on the Maxwell, But he’ll have a Ford car yet. Don Lent is our baseball player, He’s quite a talker, too ; In the English class when he gets going, It seems he’ll never get through. Clarence Lloyd’s our curly-head, And in class every minute ; When Lloydie opens up his mouth He puts his foot right in it. Millington, quiet and reserved. Has come to us this year.
