N S The Business Educator says that the penmanship specimens sent in by McKin- ley pupils for Certificates show marked excellence. The penmanship classes are as enthusiastic as ever. Everyone is working hard to earn a certihcate. Since the 7th grade has been taking penmanship every day instead of two days a week, they are doing very well and some of the best writers have been given permission to work for the Grammar Grade Zaner Certificate. The 9th grade students who have already received the Zaner Grammar Grade and the H igh School Certificates are working for others, such as the American Penman and the Palmer Student Certihcates. There are 157 students who earned their certificates so far this year.

A DAILY DIRECTED AeT1viT1E I Writing Limerieks There once was a penmanship class, With many a lad and a lass, The Zaner method they learned And their hearts within them burned, To work so their writing would pass. There is a girl named Marie, W'hose dimples one couldn't but seeg She writes with a swing, Like a bird on the wing, And hlls our hearts with glee. And there is a boy named George, His writing looks like Valley Forgeg It goes up hill and down, Just like a clowng Theres' room for improvement, eh, George? Another boy whose name is James, When writing takes great pains To see that every letter Is made somewhat better, And his hand he surely tames. There's a girl named Theresa Berutte. NVho thinks she is quite a beauty, At writing she thinks she's a champ: She sits up at night by the dim little lamp, Vlfriting for dear life and duty. There's a little girl called sweet Alice. XVhose heart couldn't hold any malice For one who writes more than herselfg Puts her story hooks up on a shelf, And writes like a queen ol a palace. In her seat sits Maxine Cook: At her penmanship everyone does lookg Their eyes do twinkle with delight XVhen they see her' capitals all just right: The writing she does should go in a book. A noisy kid is Margaret Hughes: The end of her pen she always chews: Her pemnanship looks like a stone wall Her letters are so straight and so tall- W'hen her writing at length she pursues. There was a had hoy named VVill In class he could not keep still: He wrote and he talked. But Miss Mosher halkefl, And called this poor XVill a pill. Paul always worked for improvement, To go wrong was a had indueementg He tried every way But failed every day, As he used fingers instead ol arm mfwement In our school is a boy named Harry W'ho wrote ovals and letters so merry That when his grades came It was such a shame That he started to drink-at the dairy. Rosa sat down to write, Scrihbled Zaner with all her might, But she always worried And seemed quite flnrriedg So she squeezed her pen very tight. VVillie of dignified HD air. XVrites with hrow furrowed with care, But his voice is so loud, He sounds like a crowd- XVe all know when Willie is there. Alfred and Martin gain repute, For working hard and sticking to itg Some must work VVhile others shirkg But those that try will never rue it. t'flmiy.v Ln Pniuf, llluriv Cmiernia, flsunln Arfwz'u, tfwzrrwierw' lmnxr, 1'Wtll'll!U't'1' 1'1lllIf'll'x', A93
