14 TH1C MONESSE Skyward indeed is A. M. S. She is as near the heavens as she can be. She cooks and sews we must confess. Both storming and praising to some degree. Her two old pals have gone away. But she has already adopted another; And possibly on some bright day She’ll take somebody’s only brother. Dollars and cents and debit too; Also credit and invoice and date Are taught by one R. W., Who checks the sheets and seals our fate. She is little and quiet and wears a blouse When she leads the girls in the gym class; But they say she’s afraid of a little mouse When in her room it tries to pass. Our music teacher is C. M. She teaches mostly in the grades. But for two periods and now and then She drills us on some music shades. She knows the weather in our town And looks above most everyone; Her eyes are farther from the ground. And so she has her special fun. And so I come to the end of my rhyme, I have mentioned all but old I. M., He would hope to TOe spared this time. So I’m going to close by saying Amen. —By Lillian Ilium, Year Book Banquet, 1929 “Walking is a pleasant diversion.”—Jeanne Blank©
