LH 1 LB P676 1916 (§m (girl of ICrntg Agn Oh, many, many years ago, There lived on Normal Hill A maiden fair, whose gentle grace Is known at Normal still. So sweet, so true, so pure in thought, So wise, and yet so shy — We love this little Normal girl — This girl of days gone by. We love her flaring wide hoop-skirt, That hid her dainty toes; The way she tossed her little head And spread her pretty clothes. We love her manners quaint and sweet; We love her simple grace; And so in our dear Potpourri, We ' ve given her a place. She will recall the good old days — The days of mem ries dear, As even Potpourri recalls The days we ' re spending here. — Josephine O ' Quinn.

This is the best of me; for the rest, I ate, and drank, and slept, loved and hated, like another; my life was as the vapor, and is not; but this I saw and knew: this, if anything of mine, is worth your memory. RUSK IN
