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.

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.

There's Mr. May, a fine young man, And a very good teacher, toog I-le's fine in teaching Botany And he knows just what to do. Miss Miller teaches German And Latin just as wellg And you might search about the town But would find none that could excel. Miss Colliver teaches Mathematics And also Domestic Art And she's very good in sewing For she's very, very smart.
