And will not use a gun, just visit our French class, Do not stop by the glass, The class begins at two o'clock, You'll be all right if you don't talkg Please come some day,- Xl-'elll not ask you to pay. When you visit French two just bring some one with yon, Go in the door at the top of the stairs,- You may sit in any of the chairs. Now listen with your best ear, And in a short time you 'll hear, Some one recite on what they don't know, This is why to French two they go. You must also keep open your eye Or something across tl1e room will Hy. Then some one will reach and pick it up And smile as bright as a buttercup. Such are the doings of Class '23 But we would like it if we were free From every old examination, To roam 'round Rangeley plantation. K. H., '23, B FLAT To the English room one day, There came a little gray mouse, I guess he did plan to stay,- In the desk he made his house. First he lived in the second flat. Among the papers so white, But he soon deserted that, For he found no supper at night. Now whatever do you think? The teacher drew his house right out, To get a' bottle of ink, This gave little mousie the gout. So he moved down on the next floor. Here he thought l1e 'd have some fung I-Ie couldn't see a single door, And. thought his moving was done. This house had never been used, Except to store away papers, So mousie does get so confused, As through the sheets he capers. Poor mousie after a little while, Got out of everything he'd needy So, said mousie with a smile, l. 'll go shopping, then I'll feed. So he beat it round the flat, To Find his basket, coat and hat. And soon this eager little mouse, Had left behind his new-found house.

If you strike some frigid weather and discover to your cost That you 're slipping, slipping, on a heavy coat of frost, Then some prompt, decided action will be called into demand, And you 'Il slip 'way to the bottom if you haven't any sand.
