Ashcraft Junior Jingles There was a young lady named Kay, Who was quite the studious jay. She deserves lots of credit For our class she does head it, And she ' s loads of fun, too, is our Kay. We ' ve a classmate, Mariette, by name, Who to North Shore just recently came. Though we ' ve not known her long, She is one of our throng, And we ' ll always be glad that she came. Barbara came to our class just this year, Is she bright? Oh yes, no one need fear; Does she study? No, never, But she is so clever She can bluff in each class pretty near. In our class there ' s a young man called Jasper, Always aims to be just a bit faster, To North Shore one day, He wended his way, Oh my! What a dreadful disaster. There was a young scholar named Pep, Who never once thought of his rep. He can wiggle his ears As in class, it appears; This jolly young fellow named Pep. The voung man called Edwin the Third Thought he was a superior bird; But he looked in the mirror And sighed, with a shiver, I belong to the old common herd.

fel©0 ftj Edwin Ashcraf t : I had a most cordial and engag- ing letter the other day from the Iceland Bugler, a well-known paper up there in the north, stating that the fame of my budding journalistic ability had reached them. They are extremely anxious to have me as a special correspondent from the South Sea Isles, when I am through absorbing the knowl- edge which the leading educational institutions in the country have to offer me. I am seriously con- sidering this position and shall probably accept it. The Misses Ruth Holloway and Mariette Cassels: By the time our education is completed, the two of us will have traveled widely throughout the old and new world. We both feel that we shall be compe- tent enough and have sufficient knowledge to run a sight-seeing bus by that time. Egypt, (Illinois) will probably be our chief center. (There ' s a lot in a name, you know.) Miss Barbara Tapper: You have heard the old saying, Mr. Reporter, that practice makes perfect? By the time I ' ve left school I will have gained much skill in that form of oratory usually known as arguing. I shall either establish a Correspondence School for debaters or tour the country and make stump speeches on any of the current topics. John Shaw: An interpreter of dreams seems to me to be a job which requires little effort physically and not much mentally. It appeals to me more than anything I can think of at the present. I can ' t wait to sit at a little table and gaze into a lustrous crystal ball. I know I ' d look well in long flowing black robe and a peaked hat with some stars and crescents on it. Don ' t you think so? Miss Alice Brown: I am at present considering the idea of teaching geometry at the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind School at Hoboken. Rather . ! n cult undertaking, but then that sor t of thing appeals to my logical brain. I may throw in a little physiology for good measure, too. My first few years of experience will have been derived from teaching at the school I am now attending. Miss Elizabeth Clore: Whenever any of my friends have difficulty in putting up their unwildy tresses they call upon me for assistance. Besides practicing on them ever so often I arrange my own every morning in a most elaborate coiffure. By the time my education is supposedly completed I shall have had ample experience for running a hair-dressing parlor. In fact I have already selected a charming name for it.

26 THE MIRROR Sarah Meads, our little clown, Always turns things upside down. We like her; though, in all her studies She usually copies everybody ' s. Driver is a lady fair, Who is afraid to cut her hair, For she knows that if she did She ' d look just like a little kid. Elizabeth, ' tis often said, Goes very early to her bed; But we know it is just a saying, For at night we ' ve seen her playing. Beulah Stixrud is her name, To be an artist is her aim. To school she ' s taken every day, By little Henry, so they say. Now let me tell you of a lass Who ' s always very sure to pass. You will surely guess the truth, Before I tell you, it is Ruth. Elsie, last one in our group, To studying hard would never stoop, But when it comes to doing jazz A lot of pep she surely has. Magazine Stand Snappy Stories — S. Meads Popular Mechanics — P.
