TO MRS. R. E. CUTT1NQ Principal metropolis High School Oh. noble woman, that God has sent. To guide us thru this firmament; Your illuminating brain has lighted. Paths of wisdom to us, benighted. Oh. glorious creature, most divine. Daintiest of women, most refined; Thou to us will always be, A sign of noblest brilliancy. God send to earth those sweetest souls. To help the weak o’er treacherous holes; Of ignorance, to the heights of learning. Or into wisdom’s road of many turnings. So He sent you to the M. H. S., To aid the ignorant in distress; May your future life e’er be blessed. And may God’s hand you e’er caress. Pauline Tucker Ruth E. Foote.
