the BLUE AND WHITE IS And then I said. I do not know, Why that should elate you so; And with wondering eyes he told, As the sun was a sinking disc of gold. Told me briefly how his love so fair. With soft brown feathers for her hair, He sent him a greeting true. It gave him a thrill right through. A wise old owl sat on a tree. I asked him what he thought of me. He told me ’twasn’t very much. I asked him why this was such. And this is what he said to me, ft is very plain to see, That as long as you wander wide, You will never be a blushing bride. A wise old owl sat on a tree. He was as happy as he could be; And so was I, because I knew, What the old owl had said was true. Don’t fail to see “The Charm School.” to be presented by the Senior class February 28 and 29.
