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. Unlike the other fellows Of the girls he is in fear. Sullivan’s our joker, And a clever one is he ;

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.

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.

12 THE COLUMBIAD He’s also fond of homemade fudge, As Somebody can see. A. E. B. T6. Grace Wilder needn’t think she’s the whole garden just because her hair is a little radish. (Reddish.) Mr. Averill — In the Geometry Class — “Erase that angle PDQ.” Miss Holbrook — In Science — ' “What effect has the moon on the tide?” Student — “It hasn’t any effect on the tide, but it makes the untied spoony.” Where is it we find our President and Secretary every Sunday night at about 8.30 ?
