Form IIA Collegiate Miss Wales POPULAR SONGS OF THE DAY The Boy lNamed Len and the Girl Named Sue were talking to the Shabby Old Cabby about the Deep Purple shade of the Blue Orchids in the vase on the table in the picture of the 18th Century Drawing Room. Now, said Len, If I Only Had a Brain I could paint a picture of the Yellow Brick Road that leads Over the Rainbow. After the Shabby Old Cabby left, The Boy Named Len asked the Girl Named Sue to marry him, He said Because of All thc Things You Are, I Promise You I'll be Faithful For- ever. She said no, that she wouldn't marry him but before they parted She Must Have One More Kiss and also one more hot-dog and relish from The Little'Hot- Dog Stand. So they did and then said Goody-Good-bye. A WALK TO SCHOOL It was a very cold WINTERS morn- ing and I was taking my time over some BARLEY that I was having for break- fast. My mother told me I BETTY LEWIS no MO'RE time because I knew she was WAISER than I.

I LONEY'D her my BLACK ear muf.s for her ears. We walked together for a while and then JOI-INSTON'S milk truck came along and gave us a ride. The back of the truck was filled with STOCK'ALE and we all had a drink. WHAT WOULD BECOME OF IIA IF Betty D. didn't giggle all period.

THE NORTHLAND ECHO 61 A DAY WITH IIA OUR MOTTO E. Saunders We rise in the morning full of zest And go to school to do our best. Out of the house at five to nine And on to school in double quick time. It's very, very late we readily see. The locker room's jammed, As crammed as crammed can be. The first bell's gone-the second bell goes, Oh! Mathematics gosh and Latin prose, We tear along the corridor and with a smile Greet Miss Wales to whom we're very docile. After the assembly to the lab we march in style Erect is our posture, but we're talking all the while. Science class is over, our books are packed with glee, The English class is next, it's there that we make whoopee, Stamping in the class room, our books banged on the desk, We settle down and try to be each one of us a pest. The Latin class is next, all the students they look grim, Although a charming personage is waiting them within. We are very slack on homework, catch up another dayg But when four o'clock rolls around we pupils have to pay By writing out on foolscap why we have time to play. English comes again and We settle down to chat About the weather and the season and this and all of that. Then Mathematics comes around with angle and with square, And our minds they set a'thinking why this stuff we have to bear. Twelve o'clock is striking. a mad dash through the door, Shoving, pushing, juggling books along the corridor, Our dinner has been eaten, we're on our way to school, Not to be late, not to be late is IIA's golden rule. The afternoon soon passes till comes our daily French With cute Monsieur de Hardwick a'setting on the bench. The afternoon is over and so ends the day. A day I hope you have enjoyed with our good old IIA Anonymous. May smiling be your motto, Though your heart is filled with pain. For behind a mask of sunshine You can never see the rain. When the clouds begin to gather And the sky becomes o'er cast, Remember all the little joys That helped you through the past. Don't frown upon the future, Let smiling be your prayer, And you'1l always, flnd a host of friends With whom your smile to share. Evelyn Moore.
