LOOFBORO Faculty Advisor DEDICATION xECAUSE Reedsburg High School realizes the outstanding character of one who, although he has past from the physical life of this world, remains ever a supreme personality; because Reedsburg High School students remember his ideals, his sincerity, and unquenchable enthusiasm and because the Senior Class knows only this slight means of paying tribute to their dear friend and classmate, we dedicate this volume of our Gleaner to the memory of Bartlett Quimby.

The Cloud BRING fresh showers for the thirsting flowers. From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one. When rocked to rest on their mother’s breast. As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail. And whiten the green plains under; And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. -Shell},.

How could I give a fair and true prophecy without a deep study of philosophy? However, just as I was falling into the deepest depths of despair. I chanced to remember an advertisement I had read of a certain sorceress who kept a so-called dream shop. Her price, although high, was not too precious for so vast and important a visit as mine was to be. The following evening I went to the dream shop. Upon knocking, I was cordially invited to enter by a strange creature, whom I'll not attempt to describe, since all efforts would be futile. I was conducted to a small room, lighted only by a ghastly red lamp in the corner. On second look I saw the hazy form of a woman.—if such she could be called—who beckoned me to come and sit opposite her. She handed me a smudgy glass and nodded, indicating that I should drink the contents. I was rather reluctant at first, but decided it was the only thing to do. Mist, mist. mist, and a dizzy ascent into a seemingly endless void. A sudden fall and shudders, brought me out of the trance. As my brain cleared. I found my self walking amid flower gardens in an estate in England. Not far distant I saw Jack Howland and Kathryn Baumgarten sitting on a bench, fondly watching two small children playing around a sparkling fountain. Jack had inherited a comfortable fortune from a mysterious uncle and had started traveling in Europe. Meeting in a fashion shop in Paris, he and Kathryn had renewed old friendship and later were married. I expected to have my station far removed again but to my surprise I traveled only a short distance. This time I found myself in London in an office building. As I walked up the hall, I noticed the sign on one of the doors. It read, Non-Squeak Bed Spring Co. Limited, Alex Yorman. Pres. Opening the door I saw his secretary seated at a desk in the outer office. She was none other than Noreane Kutz. Before even catching a glimpse of Alex, however. I was whipped off again. This time I landed in the jungles of Africa. Imagine my surprise to see Harold Schleden at the head of a hunting expedition. My next stop was back in the United States.

Miss Williams The Freshmen are usually at a disadvantage because of the many strange problems which confront them. However, this year's Freshman Class seemed very adaptable, for in an unusually short period of time they had been assimilated by the other students. One could hardly tell Freshmen from Sophomores. Of course, the Frosh made a few breaks, but we all agree that their Valentine Party showed how much they can do. Sophomore Class Rollin Camp ...Juanita Luther Jim Greenwood Martha Yorman ..Miss Randall President ............. Vice President ........ Secretary-Treasurer .. Loyalty Representative Class Advisor .......... Now that the Sophomores have advanced a step higher in their High School career, they may still feel superior to their under class men—the Frosh. The Sophomore Class has showed it's gains along other lines also. Namely, in presenting entertainment in the form of the all school parties which were enjoyed by all. If the Sophomores keep up their good work, they should give the other classes some competition in Loyalty next year.

Their participation in all school activities has helped the Junior Class to maintain its good High School record. The fact that the Juniors are resourceful also in other fields was shown by the successful prom which they sponsored. Since as Freshmen and again as Sophomores, this class took third place in Loyalty. We expect a great deal of the Junior Class in the future. The Qleaner Back Row—Mr. Loofboro—Advisor.

All the latest news with sidelights on the interesting things about school— that's the Peptomist, the Reedsburg High School Newspaper, published every six weeks during the year. It is very unique besides presenting news in an effective style. The paper being very popular, presents news appreciated by all classes and is a publication worthy of our school.

[341 [35] f7 THIf LEANER) 351 Football The football team was handicapped because of the loss of the greater share of experienced players by graduation. The season was not at all successful from the conference stand point; however, it afforded much valuable experience necssary to some of the newer members of the squad. The loss of Bart Quimby as left end tended to dampen the spirits of our boys also. The loss was felt very keervly. We have hopes for a better season next year.

The basketball team suffered by the graduation of a number of very good players as did the football team; however, in spite of this handicap Coaches Kraeft and Plenke managed to develop a good team. Things at the beginning of the season didn't look particularly bright as Wisconsin Dells “took us to town”, so to speak, with a score of 13 to 20 in their favor. The local cagers redeemed much of their self respect in defeating Mauston 24 to 12 in the second game of the season. There then followed one of the most exciting games of the season when our team came into “contact' with Richland Center. The score throughout the game was close but the breaking point came in the last 10 seconds of the game when the score board read 12 all. At that crucial moment Hod“ Palmer made a beautiful shot which carried the game for Reedsburg. The next team encountered was Tomah the final score being 14 to 31 in their favor. Incidentally. Tomah's center made 25 of the total points establishing a new record for individual shooting in our gym. The games played with Baraboo were as interesting as heretofore and the boys showed excellent form; however, Baraboo took the score on both occasions. After the fine progress made by the team during th is expected of them next year. is season very much Reedsburg 13 Wisconsin Dells 20 Reedsburg 16 LaCrosse Cent. 25 Reedsburg 24 Mauston 12 Reedsburg 15 Tomah 34 Reedsburg 14 Richland Center 12 Reedsburg 15 Delavan Deaf 29 Reedsburg 14 Tomah 31 Reedsburg 15 Baraboo 23 Reedsburg 11 LaCrosse Cent. 22 Reedsburg 23 Richland Center 18 Reedsburg 11 Wisconsin Dells 24 Reedsburg 27 Viroqua 20 Reedsburg 11 Baraboo 20 Reedsburg 14 Viroqua 10 Name Position Weight Name Position Weight B.

S. took place March 21, 1935 under the supervision of Miss E. Randall and Mr. A. R. Kraeft. The exhibition was an all-school program. Every student enrolled in the physical education classes, as well as the high school band under the direction of Mr. Ritzenthaler, had a part in the exhibition. The high school band opened the program with a band concert. A Grand March, (a drill presented by the high school physical ed. students) terminating with the formation of the words Health and Wealth” followed the band concert. After this presentation groups from different gym classes exhibited various phazes of their gym work. A club swinging drill was presented by the girls under Miss Randall’s tutelage: a boys' group demonstrated a game of volley ball: costumed girls danced folk dances of the Russians. Scotch. Irish, and Dutch: another group of boys from Mr. Kraeft’s classes gave a boxing exhibition; gym tactics were portrayed by a group of girls in Miss Randall’s class. Competition in relay races was offered the 8th grade school boys and the high school boys: the eighth grade girls exhibited fancy pyramid building and acrobatics: another group of high school boys presented a Roman chariot race: and the finale of the program was a formation drill with the American flag being slowly raised in the air by a boy on the shoulders of his classmates as the band played the Star Spangled Banner. The exhibition was so well attended and such an apparent success as to warrant its being repeated annually. Sparta Class A District Tournament This year our basketball team under Coach Kraeft, again took part in the Class A. District Tournament held at Sparta. Although the boys did some fine playing they failed to come with as high honors as last year. The boys made a great showing in their first game with Viroqua. Reeds-burg took the lead from the start and without difficulty kept it throughout the game. The final score being 24-15. After the first game the local cagers encountered the strong team from Wisconsin High. In this game we put up a good fight and showed excellent spirit but Wisconsin High was a little too good and the game ended with a score of 18-23 in favor of Wisconsin High. Class B Distridl Tournament The tenth annual basket ball tournament was held in our gym the 7-8-9th of March. The following teams participated: West Salem. Elroy, Wisconsin Dells. Mauston. Holmen, New Lisbon. Wilton and Mindoro. Pre-tournament dope booked Holmen to cop the tourney. They came here with a record of ten victories and no defeats. New Lisbon, the defending champions. were rated as the team to get second place. The first afternoon the dope was upset. West Salem who had been defeated twice by Holmen turned the tables and defeated Holmen in which revenge was sweet. Holmen continued on in the tournament to win Consolation by defeating Wilton. New Lisbon and Mauston also continued on until the last night when New Lisbon emerged the victor in a very thrilling game. The officiating was handled very well by R. F. Young of Muscoda and E. H. Gibson of Madison. [42] fy THF ’351 (L I I A PS I 9o “Mixer” To open the school year with a bang, the Seniors gave the Mixer Friday night. September 14th. The program began with the initiating of the bashful Freshies . Here, there, and everywhere were green bows bobbing up and down. Judging from all seen, the teachers present had as good a time as the students. Music was furnished by the well known orchestra “Parky's’ . At eleven the party broke up and everyone departed for home. (WE HOPE!!) We know everyone is looking forward to the next party, especially the Frosh. Here’s hoping it is as big a success as this. Junior Party The Juniors showed us they were veterans at putting on parties when they gave us a Halloween Party . The north end of the gym was decorated with a miniature corn field and a spotlight was fixed to represent a moon. The south end was decorated with orange rosettes, while the sides were adorned with jack-o-lanterns and black cats. The evening was spent dancing to the music of Pai“ky's Wisconsin Aces. Refreshments were tubes of orange ice-cream decorated with jelly beans to represnt a jack-o- lantern face. A grand time was had by all. and every body is looking forward to the next party. Sophomore Party On December 14th the Sophomores gave their Christmas party. The gym was decorated in green and red crepe paper, which was wound around the posts. In each corner was a tree trimmed with tinsel and electric lights. The basketball boys made our Christmas merry by announcing their 14-12 victory over Richland Center. From the appearance it seems that boys are afraid of Santa Claus. Good old “Santa” showed up after a long and tedious journey 111111 Imagine our great surprise when we found that Santa was made of Pillows. I’m sure this is the greatest discovery ever made by Mr. Kraeft. Imagine Clark Paylow's embarrassment. Music was furnished by members of Parky's Orchestra. Freshman Party The Freshmen entertained us with a Valentine Party February 1. It was their first attempt and it was a success thru and thru. The gym was decorated with red and white hearts to carry out the Valentine spirit. The orchestra, (incidentally Parky’s ), was surrounded with a picket fence covered with red and white valentines. For refreshments. Eskimo Pies with red centers were served. Everyone went home thinking of next year when the Frosh could again put on a party and here's hoping they have as good luck with them as they did with this one. (44] Prom The good old Prom that came this year, On April 26th with a lot of good cheer. The gym all decorated in Blue and White. Represented a ship in the dark spring nite. The music we had was certainly grand. Played by Gay Claridge's Chicagoian band. Bill Sporleder with his chosen Arlene. Who made a grand and beautiful queen. Lead the grand march with the greatest of ease. To everyone's eyes they certainly did please. The tea room also in Blue and White. With the Sailor waitresses was a charming sight The dancing went on until very late: To leave the ship was everyone's hate. We only hope that the next affair. Will be as grand as it was this year. The Carnival November 9 and 10 were red-letter days on the school calendar because of the carnival sponsored by the band. Due to the cooperation of students and teachers, it was a great success. To begin the evening in the right spirit, all were entertained by the Main Room Shows. Those who attended the first night of the Carnival enjoyed dramatic abilities of the characters in the first sketch, the grace of the chorus girls'. and the splendid performance of the daring young man on the flying trapeze. The entertainment on the second night proved to be equally as interesting. The Xylophone Solo by Miss Kothlow, the tumbling acts by Junior High Girls, the Negro Mammy Dance, and the black face farce Axin' Her Father”, all contributed to the general air of merriment. Following the crowd to the Gym. one found numerous opportunities for entertainment of all sorts. To win a prize, you might pin the tail on a donkey. visit the fish pond, try the balloon dart, or play bingo. Those who found this too trying could seek amusement in other places. The freaks attracted much attention. Do you remember the quintuplets, the pertified man. the two-headed woman. Mae West, and the Queen of Sheba? The Picture Gallery (not included in the Freak House) was also very popular. We had not realized that in our midst we have future (or former?) beauties. To see ourselves as others see us one could have a portrait drawn [45] THE 351 I EANI Roi by Mr. Cushman. I understand that some people received unpleasant shocks from that pastime. The Midget Show “straight from the World’s Fair' was naturally a success as the name would suggest. For the pugilistic minded, the boxing and wrestling matches provided plenty of excitement. The dancing in the Old Gym was enjoyed especially by the lucky couples who won prizes. After all this amusement one’s craving for nourishment could be satisfied at the refreshment stands which were provided for just that purpose. Generous amounts of confetti and laughter added to the general atmosphere of confusion and hilarity made the Carnival a success. Senior Class Play “Skidding’’ the Class Play given by the Senior Class under the direction of Miss Lorraine Hickey, was pronounced a huge success again this year. The play depicted the trials and tribulations in the home of the Hardy family. As the story progresses events become more and more difficult as each member of the family acquires some new grievance. Judge Hardy’s nomination is questioned; the married daughters leave their husbands; the youngest daughter quarrels bitterly with her fiancee, and finally. Mrs. Hardy, the supporting prop of the family announces that she is going to leave and not return until things have been settled. Of course everything eventually turns out successfully and the family are again on terms of peace. The characters are as follows: Aunt Milly ........... Andy ................. Mrs. Hardy ........... Judge James Hardy .... Grampa Hardy ......... Estelle Hardy Campbell Marion Hardy ......... Wayne Trenton, III ... Mr. Stubbins ......... Myra Hardy Wilcox .... .......Bessie Bates Blakeslee Wheeler ...Gwen Cobleigh ....Roger Schuette .....Alex Yorman ...Eleanor Donahue ......Portia Stone ......Bob Winters ...Charles Claridge ..Vera Seamandel [46] f7 i ifr ’35 § AN I IRo Calendar Warden General Superintendent Prison Chaplain Prison Matron Stool Pigeon Turnkey..............

(50) tin 35ips Education in a Modern High School High School is an institution which industrious creatures attend to absorb strange unfathomable subjects under the supervision of an ever present menace, commonly known as a teacher: however, that isn't all they gain toward the goal of higher learning. Upon questioning a student one is astound at the infinite knowledge displayed, not all unfortunately gained in the school room. Luckily great strides have been taken toward the betterment of this situation, there follows an excellent example. A student of nineteen hundred when asked the reason why an auto would usually run out of gas. on a moon-lit June night, with apparently no reason, was at loss for a reply. Then, a scholar of nineteen thirty-four when asked the same replied readily, a blonde”. One of the best facilities for education a school contains is the library. Here endless knowledge may be gleaned by the more studious type from such references as the ''Chicago Tribune ”, Wisconsin State Journaland even the local papers. For those with the more frivalous nature the library contains light literature such as Forum , Harpers , Atlantic Monthly , and the Poultry Magazines. One may gather from the former paragraph that modern education is composed almost entirely of the tedious routine of acquiring efficiency in mind. Therefore, I must hasten to assure you that such an opinion is as unjust as it is untruthful. Ingenious minds created delightful diversions for the Scholar in form of recreation hours of Modern History. English, and Old Euclids Specialty, Geometry. These hours are given up to the sheer enjoyment of the participants upon which no stark realities of the workaday world dare intrude. Joe Bates Qive Me Library, or Qive Me Death School seems to be doing me a lot of good. To-day, I led the thundering herd to the library and got the latest POPULAR SCIENCE off the rack. The boy across the table got himself an ETUDE, but he doesn't seem very interested in it. If he were, he wouldn't be throwing it at that other fellow.

I can remember yet how all the ladies came and looked at me and tickled my toes; but they don't do it now. However, all this fuss and bother gave me quite a headache, so I took my bicycle and went to the drug store to get myself an Aspirin tablet. I took this with a glass of water, and felt much relieved. I made it home just in time for supper. We had roast beef that night. Well. I got through that day all right, and had a good night's sleep, but the next day. the wanderlust hit me. and I decided to go to New York. My mother was very nice about it. Right away, she told me she’s be glad to have me leave home. Boarding the 2:30 train, I arrived in New York at three o’clock, and started out to see the sights. Right away, 1 noticed how low all the buildings were, and that was where I conceived the idea of building the Empire State Building. Of course. I was too modest to take the credit for this, but I was the original designer of it. The next place I went was Wall Street. I saw a lot of people there, so I asked one of them what the excitement was. He said that was the place where they buy and sell stocks and bonds, so I went in and bought a couple thousand shares of New York Consolidated Nut Bolt Corporation stocks. A short while later, I started for home. When I got there, my mother was waiting on the front steps. She told me we had no money left, so I'd have to stand on my own feet. That’s why I never took up dancing. Evan Schuette [52] I I I 11;. 35g$J ■AM Ro d Extra! I Reedsburg. Wisconsin: Fire which swept through the local high school building yesterday afternoon left in its path of destruction three dead and more than a score wounded, some of whom are not expected to live. The dead are: Miss J. Williams, art instructor and English teacher. Joseph Greenwood, 15, sophomore. Edward Sommers, 15. sophomore. Miss Williams and the two boys were trapped in a third story class room. It is not yet known what business they were transacting in that remote region. It was not known that any lives had been lost until George Stowe, local dog catcher, uncovered the victims’ bodies from the ruins. In general good order prevailed at all exits and even though the building was emptied in less than ten seconds many were severely burned. It is believed that this is an all time record for fast movement of any like group of similar age. The fire was confined to the old part, but it is not definitely established as to how it started. J. R. Plenke. Manual Arts instructor, testified that he had smelt rubber burning and since the girls were making Sponge cakes in Home Economics class, that is probably where the fire started. Principal F. S. Smith expressed his gratitude for the local fire department's quick action. The run was made in forty-three minutes, this too is believed to be a record. Willie Krueger, janitor, who kept the fire going until the truck arrived was commended for his work also. The school board, which is under his direction, estimates the loss at $2.671.16J c (cents). The loss of Miss Williams was partly compensated, since she was covered by insurance. One of the greatest losses was a coal black tom cat owned by the janitor. ‘'Blackie had a reputation of being able to catch three mice a week. It will, indeed be a long time before the pupils will be through mourning for Blackie”, whose familiar figure seemed a definite part of school life. The pupils who escaped the blazing inferno, immediately called it a holiday and celebrated with a picnic supper at South Park, after which a lively game of drop the handkerchief was played. They reported that a good time was had by all. 153] Douglas Tibbitts The Brute He struck her, but she utterd no sound. He struck her agen butt no wurd askapt her lipz.

I immediately realized that she had become a famous “movie actress. The building in front of which I was standing was an imposing brick structure and upon closer examination I found that it was a real estate building and that Willie Westedt was the agent. Again that awful dizziness. This time when I stopped I was in Chicago where I found several of my old classmates. Dorothy Osenroth, Eleanor Donahue, and Robert Winters were putting on a successful vaudeville at the Chicago” theater, and were they a hit! I found Joe Braun managing a large manufacturing concern; James Giblin was running a marriage bureau and I found out that he had promoted several thousand successful weddings; Lloyd Mattix was the owner of the Blowhard Novelty Co. ; Magdalene Nowatney was secretary to the president of the Standard Oil Company; Helen Woodson and Helen Suszycki were running a small millinery shop and last but not least. I discovered that Evan Powell was a floorwalker in one of Woolworth's largest stores. My next visit was in New York City. Here I found Charles Claridge who was a successful scientist and inventor, having patented several inventions. chiefly in the radio field. I also came across Magdalene Fiess who was earning a good living by posing for stocking advertisements. Rodney Haines had a job as manager of a Hydro-Electric plant at Niagara Falls. Richard Schultis and his wife. Elaine Priest owned the Green Lantern. one of the largest New York night clubs. Again the scene shifted. This time I was behind prison bars at Sing Sing. Imagine my surprise to see Herman Gall. However, he did not have on a striped suit since he was the Warden of the prison. The next change was brought about with little difficulty. 1 seemed to be getting used to the magic. This time I found myself in the oil fields of Texas. Here I saw Bob Tibbitts and Blakeslee Wheeler who owned a rich oil well. As 1 tried to realize all that had happened, my head began to swim again and I shut my eyes. When I opened them 1 was standing in front of a beauty parlor of which Mary Hagenah and Edith Seymour were the proprietors. 1 looked inside and saw that business was rushing. Before I had a chance to go in. however. I was rushed off again. When I settled down. I found myself at the University of Southern California where Don O'Keefe was athletic director. My next change of position was to the middle western states, where I [58] I'M I ’35 W3 tEANEFoSH stopped at a ranch-house. I was curious to know who the occupants were, when who should come prancing-down the road (on a steed of course) but Roger Bayles. I was thinking that it must be awfully lonesome on a ranch when out of the house came his wife. No one but Leota Austin. Who would have guessed it? Again I was whisked through space. This time it was Daytona Beach where I found William Behn trying to break the speed record for automobiles. The terrific speed made my head reel and when I regained my senses. I found myself in Washington. D. C. I learned that Alton Bethke was our International Conciliator of World Affairs and also that Dan Donahue was our Ambassador to Ireland. I met Bernard Cruice. who had advanced to the National Presidency of the Future Farmers of America. The landscape again changed and I found myself in somewhat familiar territory. It was at Champaign. Illinois. Franklin Lobdell, I found, was Dean of the University of Illinois. Charles Bass was professor of Mathematics and Harlan Palmer was filling the position of head coach. Just about a hundred miles south of Champaign. I found Lome Outcalt on a nice little farm. Yes, and he was married to Mary Doyle. Their farm was near a little town called Heyworth and running the general store was Russell Behn. No. he wasn't married. My last visit was to Reedsburg. where I found Donald Reine running a large factory. Furthermore, I learned that Gwen Cobleigh was practicing hard for the weight contests in the next Olympic games. Before leaving, I decided to go into the leading department store which was being run by Albert Steinweg. While in the store. I heard Portia Stone playing one of the most popular classical numbers. She had become a famous musician and her programs were being broadcast daily over a large network of stations. As I was leaving the store I saw a magazine entitled “1000 Best Jokes'' lying on the counter. Imagine my surprise when I saw that it was being edited by my old friend, Everett Byrne. Having seen all of my classmates, there followed a seige of whirling and dizziness; then I knew nothing for awhile. When I came to it was like waking from a dream. The fortune teller had vanished, and the room was as bright as day. I got up and felt for my pocketbook. It was gone and it had contained fifty dollars. 1 shrugged my shoulders and walked out—the front door was standing ajar and no one was in sight. Even if 1 had suffered a loss, it was worth it to see my old classmates. By: President Roger Schuette.

Patiently gathered a bunch of parts With which they made an ornery lizzy, Whose erratic antics near drove ’em dizzy. With this they traveled near and far. Till folks did groan here comes that car When from a distance (six miles or more) They hear a rattle a cough and roar. They ran into Silas Hayseed’s cow: Then they hit John Plowcorn's sow: They busted a hundred chicken’s legs. And smashed into a load of eggs. They hurdled ditches, they tore up fence. Till folks declared they had no sense: And this was proven one dark night When they hit a truck of dynamite. The men’s folks with sorrowful hearts. Then patiently gathered a bunch of parts From which they constructed three mechanics. And folks gladly sighed and forgot these panics. [61] Paul Revere’s Ride With Variations Listen my people and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. He sat in the tavern, drinking with vim. He knew if he went home, his wife would skin him. Twas about twelve o’clock when a guy busted in And shouted and yelled to be heard midst the din. The Red Coats are coming and they mean to do harm. Can some souse in this crowd go spread the alarm?” “I’m no souse,” Paul Revere said, ”1 want you to know. But I'll spread the alarm if my darn Ford will go.” He straddled his steed all ready to go And hollered. The crank, someone give it a throw!” There was only one light. Paul near had a fit But on fumbling with wires, the other one lit. Two lights,” came the cry and our hero was off With a rattle an rumble a sputter and cough. With the throttle wide open went our dear Paul Revere To arms you big loafers, the British are here. Through every village he spread the bad news To farmers to drunkards to Indians and Jews. But on reaching Concord to his disgust and ire, The plug in the cylinder, just wouldn’t fire. But Paul took it out and cleaned it up well Then put it back and cried with a yell, “Hurrah! Now she’s hittin . Then once more started out Through the village of Concord the warning to shout. “That’s done, now tor Lexington, then Cuss words he spat For to his dispair the front tire was flat. He sat on the fender, wild oaths burned the air For the thoughts came to him. he’d forgotten his spare. For two hours he labored with pump, patch, and jack, Then once more he got started, with sputter and crack. He opened the throttle, the Ford fairly flew With Paul in a hurry, it seemed that she knew. The cocks were all crowing, dawn would soon break And our hero still had his goal to make. At last dear old Lexington hove into sight. And Paul was sure glad for he’d been up all night. To arms, cried our Paul (Now readers don’t laugh) For the people had learned it through telegraph. TH1 ’351 I I AM Pow: r DEAR ELIZABETH The Ford is my auto, I shall not want another It maketh me to lie down beneath it, It soureth My soul forever. It leadeth me into the paths of ridicule for its namesake. Yea, though I ride through the valleys. I am towed up the hills, For fear much evil. Thy rods and thy engine discomfort me: I annoint my tires with patches. My radiator runneth over: I repair blowouts in the presence of my enemies. Surely, if this thing followeth me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the bug-house forever. A painter who lived in Great Britain Interrupted two girls with their knitain. He said with a sigh, This park bench,—well. I Just painted it right where you’re sittain.” There was a young man from Kil-larney He spoke with exceeding much blarney. One day in the spring He gave her a ring, And now he is poor hen-pecked Barney. THE MORAL IS DEAR CHILDREN: Equip your Ford with one of the new cuckoo clocks. When the car reaches the speed of twenty-five miles an hour the bird will come out and sing, Nearer My God To Thee.” And at forty miles per, Lord I'm Coming Home. Women's hats and hose must match, A fashion diction goes. But if she wears a garden hat, Must she wear the garden hose? Grandpa and his little motor car Went a-speeding fast and far. Too much pressure on the throttle bar. Music by the G. A. R. Toll the bell for Lucy Beal. She lies in sweet repose. She took her hands from the steering-wheel To powder up her nose.
