Mrs. Vivian Sisterman financial secretary Yes. I can give you change for a thou sand dollar bill. Mrs. Muriel Baldridge registrar any more transcripts? Mrs. Gwen Kingman alumnae secretary Any money come in today? Mrs. Mary Saunders, school nurse No. I'm sure your case of smallpox - . won't disturb anyone. Nurse Is this the Nurse? It must be so — See the sick Northrop Girls all in a row. They've come to rest their tired heads. And nap upon those bouncy beds. Oh Mrs. Saunders, help me please! I'm stricken with some grave disease! And I must get home really quick. Do unfinished homework and then get sick. Thanks, dear nurse, you help us so — And listen to our tales of woe. And cure our ills when we complain. And help ease each pain of school strain.
