AQrK ta INTRODUCTION The Eighth Year is a dangerous year; Contagions spread like fire, Until the Doctors quite upset, And hotly flames her ire. FIRST EPIDEMIC The Patty Book fever aHlicted us all, And from tired shoulders we let study fall. Nothing was read but books on this style, And we vowed that for Patty weld walk a long mile. Studies were left, games went unplayed, Girls failed exams with hearts undismayed; But such predicament could not last long, And the Doctor decided it was all wrong. So she said in a voice that was almost a screech, iiYou must put your Patty Books far out of reach? SECOND EPIDEMIC Late in the fall elections drew near, And iiCoolidge and Dawesii was all one could hear. Till Casey declared that she to the core To Davis and Bryan was true evermore. Then trouble was started; we were most sure of that When Casey came out to take up the bat. She said to the others, iiTo Davis Iill shine, While you stick to Coolidge, whom you think divine? We quarreled and battled till school had begun, We scrapped and we argued until school was done. SiI think youire just horridi, was heard all that day. We tried hard to study but gave up in dismay. November the fourth came around with applause. Majority ruled-it was ilCoolidge and Dawes? But November the fifth was a wee bit gray Because our friend had her bets to pay. THIRD EPIDEMIC Then came a time so sore and sad When vaccinations must be had. Miss Carse did say in a voice quite stern: giFor vaccinations you may not yearn, But vaccinations you must get, Because smallpox is with us yet? So one and all the doctor pestered. ntil our legs were fairly festered; And from gym class we were excused, Until the pad of slips was used; iiAnd the story? we were told, iils really getting slightly oldf, At last we felt like Hercules, And did our teachers greatly please.

THE 1925 TATLER THE PAGE PROCESSION The Seventh Form were asked to provide a part of the entertainment for the Christmas dinner for the trustees by bringing in the boar7s head. First a bugle sounded in the distance, which was the kitchen. Then came two brilliantly dressed pages carrying large holly wreaths. Behind came a third page with the hoar,s head on a large silver platter. She was accompanied by two candle bearers. Following the boarvs head was a procession of pages singing the Oxford carol, WThe Boaras Head in Hand Bear I? SPORTS Last fall we had three baseball games with the Eighth Form. Of course they beat us badly. The captain-ball games took place in the winter. The first game came out 13-3 in their favor, and the second was even worse, 24-2, as we had some of our best players absent. Our one consolation is that next year we shall ELEANOR BELLOWS. There is a hill behind our school, With dirt that,s from the climate cool. With snow one day and rain the next This hill has many a person vexed. iiI will not fall? balanced Susie said, When down she fell upon her head. Susie and I our advice give, That if you truly want to live Down this hill youlll slowly walk, And concentrate but do not talk. be Eighth Graders and have a chance to try E HA to beat the Sevenths. STHER ZLETT. HARRIET KEMP. ORPHANS FOR AN HOUR Poor orphans they went to a party so good, Dressed up in their rag hag,s best rags. . Patched up and scrubbed up, the whole for- lorn band Danced gaily, with pigtails awag. ROBIN HOOD AND BIG FAT JIM A man came walking down the path And it was Robin Hood; He met a tanner, Big Fat Jim, And fought him in the wood. They found them a kiddy car minus a wheel And a no-handled cart near collapse. In and out mid the dancers they whirled with a squeal tWhat manners an orphanage lacksll The big man knocked good Robin down, Which made him feel full sore; itCome, will you join my goodly band And roam the greenwood oieriw Their matron was straight-backed, prim and a freak, With solemn, sour face and a frizz. She shook a stiff finger policing the meek And Orphanty Annieis awhiz. iiRight gladly will I join your band.H The tanner he agreed; uBut Pve a wife and mother dear Whom I must clothe and feed? At quarter of ten, the orphans stopped fun lToo had only orphans a whilel Cinderellas reversed, to fine homes they spun In limousines chauffeured in style. MARJORIE Oscooo. iiBring them along? good Robin said, iiAnd they can mend our clothes; And we will have a merry feast, With many a toast and oath? FRANCES LEE. THE SEVENTH FORM BANQUET One day the Seventh Form had a banquet. The menu consisted of Partridge, Pease, and Beans, which were cooked by the Best Cook, and her Thrall, who used the Bellows to great advantage in getting a good fire started. She was also educated in the Stew-art. While they were eating their dessert, which consisted of the renowned Kemp,s ice cream, a Conary was sing- ing sweetly over the Lea. The guests were: Misses Osburn, Stimson, Ricker, Osgood, de Vienne, Hazlett, Geraghty, Strout, and Winton. ELEANOR BELLOWS. Twenty-Seven
