THE TALISIVIAN EARLROLLER. Of Earl Roller the 1'oller's son, VVe haVen't much to say, He isn't a somber youth, to be sure, And yet he isnlt gay. The only thing he's troubled with, Which sets his brain awhirlg Is the very, very hard matter of Finding a suitable girl. -I-Ieine. R, COTTON. In every school there's always one, Who always wants to sleep, And always hollers when exams, They seem to be too steep. Now Cotton Akers is this lad, For Whom we all feel sorry, Because he is an abstract youth, Who in idleness doth glory. Wake up, Cotton, take a breath, Do not shed a tear, Because youlll have the privilege, Of sleeping all next year. --Heine. U! ARTHUR. Listen my friends while I tell you a story Of a boy named Arthur Parr. I-Ie's the brightest boy I ever met and The brightest in school, by far. In all the branches his studies are Way up to ninety and nineg And when you ask him to recreate It's, UNO, I haven't time. But, as always the case with all great men, There's always some detect, And that which bothers Art,'l my friends, Is easy to detect. You wonder what thing could affect this mind And set this brain awhirl? It's that which ruins many minds, The sweet and precious girl. But Arthur, we hope the day will come When genius mixed with fame, IfVill win for you what you deserve Happiness and a DAME , --Heine.

THE TALISMAN CHARLES BURGETT. Friends let me tell you Of a dainty little lad, Who is full of humor .But has a countenance so sad! He keeps his phiz All shining and fair, And in all his spare hours. ls brushing his hair. Never stays out late Or go anywhere, Why? If you ask him, Oh, mamma would care. He gives you most aptly The Tale ot the Tub, Or, if somethings amiss, It's Aye, there's the rub? If you once see him You'll never forgetg His Royal Highness Is Charles Burgett. Heine. 52 DON MCINTYRE Listen friends, while I relate, A tale of woe so sad, About a boy who always was Called down for being bad. In school he was so mischevious And always talked so much, Prof. was forced to beat him till He had to use a crutch. In sports he was most aggravating Slower than a roach, And always trying to sass back, The umpire or the coach. Now don't be haughty or misled, Nor be wrought into ireg For the boy of whom I speak is The quiet McIntyre. -Heine

THE TALISIVIAN DOC MYERS All We have against Doc Myers, Is that everlasting grouchg But yet it seems a part of him, As to the kangaroo its pouch. No matter how gently you speak to him, Nor how softly you inquire, About some things you'd like to know, l-le answers you with ire. Doc, please take some joy pills, That thy face may be illuminedg Be kinder to thy neighbors, And thy grouch will he soon ruined. -Heine. U! Jennie Turman for elocution, Is training herself to he: And if we watch her record Her fame we all shall see. Sarah Gillogly is Very quaint 2 And somewhat shy is sheg But there's always some meek youth tries To in her favor be. Katherine Kyde is known far and wide And ever her praise is ringingg About an art which we all desire- That wonderful art of singing. Louis Burgett is sometimes seen At night out by the fenceg .And that is why she best excels In just domestic science. -Heine. It The Dudley twins We next relate With dresses just alikeg Who study hard and happily And work with all their might. Miss Maurine Moore in wit is excelledg And happy ever is sheg But when she talks she must be quelled, Wl1o's getting it? Some poor I-Ie.
