e Q S D '-TER A NIBBLE OF CHEESE HEN I think of the school days that now are all past, And of the girls who lived over here, When I think of Commencement that's faded long since,- Goshl it seemed such a short, short year. Those girls sure were great and packed full of fun, I never a dull moment had- I was racing around, crawling here-crawling there- Gee! to think of it makes me feel bad! There were always some girls making some kind of noise, But now it's so quiet and still- It seems sort of funny-not pleasant at all- Get used to it? Don't think I will. They'd come over at nine, chuck full o' delight, Laughing and talking, fithey talked most all nightj They went in their rooms, but were soon out again- You might just as well try to keep chicks in a pen. At 9 :3O sharp, a huge bell would clang. Much shuffle of vic's shut off with a bang. Come, chilluns, to bed-now hurry, my dears. They'd all laugh at that, their cheeks wet with tears. Now, where is Jane Rayburn? Is Aurelie in here? Has Leslie come over yet?- She'1l be late again, I fear. -an I,et's see now-that's Nancy and Shirley and Bea. I must look for the others-I wonder-dear me! Much visiting of rooms and calling of names Were indulged in from then on by this Senior coxswain At 9:45 the bell clanged once more. At 9:55 each girl shut her door. At 9:56 one creaked open again. And out into the hall came Aurelie Tremainel The upstairs was quiet 'cept for three girls I know. They carried on turrible till I'd like to have told them so lVlacNaughton and Bacon were both out of bed: Lou teaching Bacon to stand on her head! Noiselessly-quietly-like a large ton of bricks, Aurelie creaked across the hall, Qthat sly little minxj Much laughing and singing went on in Room 3, H301
