Twelve in all, he said And sadly looked at me. 7 And where are the rest, I pray you tell? He answered, Twelve are we.

A RESOLUTION 'Twas the night before theme-day, And all through the house Not a creature was stirring, Not even a mouse. All alone sat the student, A frown on her face, As she chewed up her pencil And stared into space. Of her other long: lessons She learned not a line: But continually thought of Tomorrow-Room- As the clock did strike midnight She rose with a sigh, And said to herself, It's useless to try. 'itlhl l solemnly swear that My themes will l write lleneeforth, 0110 week early, And not the last night. -Agnes Crockett, ,li O for shame upon those naughty boys. Cornsilk is bad enough: Cigarettes are much too dang rous toys, They make our boys too tough. For if smoking hadn't been invented And cigarettes ne'er known, Then this trouble would have been pre- vented 1 The play we might have shown. -VVilliam Brown, '1Z2. For the want of study. a lesson was lost: For the want of a lesson. a ten was lost: For the want of a ten. a seventy was lost: For the want of a seventy, a credit was lost: For the want of a credit. a year's work was lost: For the want of a year's work, a diplo- ma was lost: For the want of a diploma, a Senior was lost: And all for the want of a little study. -lsabel Zirbes, 'lil
