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.
