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.

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 Miss Edith Knight is out of sight Though very tall and gracefulg But if you would not tell her so She would be very grateful. Miss Gladys Watkins is somewhat stuck Upon her noble self, But we must not judge others, For they can judge themselves. Miss Gladys Jones is, oh, so small Yet very much is she, For no matter when you look at her Shels as busy as can be. Miss Gertrude Hinds keeps very still And hasu't. much to say, And that is why she comes prepared XYith her lessons every day. Mary Fern Gillogly Tries ever to be in style, And on that arduous task Her brain is all the while. -Heine. It TI-IE BOY WHO NAMED Tl-IE ANNUAL The boy who named this book, dear friends, Thinks himself most grand, He has the idea in his head He's the only boy in the land. But what more could we expect, pray tell, From a freshman so low and despised, Who thinks that I know it. all -know, Since I entered Newman High. His desire for knowledge is unsurpassed, His research most waryg And in order to further his nominal views He studies the dictionary. One day while studying this large book, By chance his fingers ran Across the pages up and down, Till he found the Talisman Please, Stanton, do not be chagrined, By this ridicule, 'Tis but one of many knocks we get, While attending every school. Praise. dear friends, a youth so aspiring, - From him no honour defer: For the boy who named this noble book, ls the freshman, Stanton Pepper. -Heine.
