THE GOLDEN ARROW PARODY ON CHAUCER'S PROLO W'hen the sweeping howling north winds blow GUE And winter has piled the ground high with snow, Un a Monday morning you always can see A strange and motley company W'ending their way with hurried step To the Milton school so noted for pep. Our Prof. is the tirst to arrive on the scene, For on punctuality he is very keen. And to quote this husband of ,his wife He's never been tardy in his life. His eye is blue, his hair is brown, I-lis mustache-the finest in all the town! Soon from the east, west, south and north The eighty pupils come venturing forth. Here is Mid so jolly and bright, Her blue eyes sparkling with mischievous light. And here comes Cleone, who is always there, In time to glance in the glass at her hair. Next comes Honey, a musician is he He composed a war dance, as nice as can be. And after school does blithly play Until books and weapons come Hying his way. The next in line is our English teacher, And certainly she is a dignified creature. Her cheeks are white, her eyes as gray as glass, And awful the gaze, she bestowes on her class. Lucy, Gordon, Loretta. Irene, Harriet, Esther and others are seen Each of them driving a noble steed VVhicl1 carries them over the ground For they all come from the country And their hands and faces are blue From over the hill, come Malcolm A fine lad and lass you'll have to confess. But there are so many, we greatly fear Vile can't describe each one of them here. For we see Gladys coming and know very well, That soon we'll hear the sound of the bell, Calling each and every laddie and lass, To his or her iirst period class. 7 9 with speed. we're told, with cold. and jess, D.
