Five short hours were quickly spent, Enjoying shows and candy. And when the youth returned that night He was just feeling dandy. Arrived at school, his wig was gone, Also his hose and coat. And here, dear reader, let me state- This simply got his goat, With both shoes and one sock off He sat upon the stairs, And cussed, and swore, and ripped, and tore, In quite a shocking manner. Who stole my coat and wig? He cried, I wish that I were dead - l'm going home, he louder cried, And my, his face was red! But dear Miss Duncan to his aid did come, And soon some clothes were found. Some stockings, coats, and buckles, too, And round his head a scarf was bound. So Herbert was all fixed up, at last, And up the aisle did marchg Though very colonial looking, he gave us A look quite fit to parch. Now children, do this lesson learn When you this rhymlet read- And always when you're in a play, Remember this?-and heed. Louise Luttrell Galyon, '15 50

9' The Diverting History of How One Senior Spent Washington's Birthday iio.-l. O, Grace was a lady fair Of beauty and renown, From Maryville so far away She came to Knoxville town. So Herbert to her said one day, Tho friendly we have been These past two tedious years, yet we No high old time have seen. Tomorrow is the twenty-second And, though we're to entertain, 1'll take you to the picture show- And then back home again. Then she replied, I do admire Of gentlemen but one, And you are he, my dearest dear, Therefore it shall be done. The day did come, and old Herb 's horse Was hitched up in the stable, And away he drove in splendor bright As lovers famed in fable. Smack went the whip, round went the wheels, Were never two people so glad. The stones did rattle underneath, As if Gay Street were mad. 49 i. 4.4.1, .

vi e' 'N is The Thankful Minute CSecond Prizej Woli ERE'S your list, father, your memorandum. Do you un- derstand? Mother was so used to memoranda, but father did not understand. There were, however. comparatively few articles to be bought. Much fewer than before at that particular time of the year. After eautioning father to turn up his collar before going out into the cold wind, mother returned into the house and was soon busily at work cn her quilt. Never before had she faced so much. The very thoughts of it made tears eome to her eyes. But she was determined that father shouldn't see her shed a single tear, for his heart was sad over the same thing. To hope and plan for something and then that thing never come to pass, makes us all exceedingly blue. Every year mother and father had looked with pleasure to the time when John, their only child, should come home. But this year John had said nothing of it in his letters, but rather wrote of the good times that he and Bess were having. Bess was the rich girl whom John had met while at college. They were married now, and all the people in the little town told mother and father that John was not coming home be- cause he was above the people of that little town. This hurt father and mother worse than their own disappointment. Father had overheard the conversation of a crowd of loaf- ers in Amos' store, into which he had entered unobserved. When they had finished, he determined to make them think that John was coming, by purchasing a number of things not on mother's memorandum. A turkey, cranherries, nuts, rais- ins, and oysters. 51 .iAilcr..,LJ 'ZZTJJ .'5.7 :
