16 The Monesse She’s a bonnie creature. And no one could be calmer Than Miss Palmer An her classes of lads and lasses. When o’er the: history scenes my memory wakes And fondly broods with miser care She but the impression strongly makes As streams their deeper channels wear. Euphonically She teaches Economically The breaches in the world of wealth. She: says, “Through efficiency The solution of the national constitution Would be in proper distribution.” For a Britton I’ll sing- an auld Scotch song As I hurry along-. To her mirth and g ' ood humor Which are coin in her purse And my admiration for her nae monarch can touch. To the tune of good music We’ll forgather with sorrow and care. We’ll be contented with little But happy with mair. So here’s to Miss Britton and there’s nothin’ more- fit-tin’ in Sunshine and rain Ojf all the teachers that I’d gently scan There’s one whio’d appeal to the heart of man And that is Miss Stone. Her art ranges from a Scotch scone To stewin’ a soup bone. The man is a drone who would leave her alone. She can sew and make a bow For her hat. So you know that She’s an artist, The very smartest In the line She’s fine. SO THESE ARE THE PLUMS FROM THE FACULTY PIE OF MOMENCE HIGH. “Pardon me if I am too loud.”—Ruby Lamport
