Vox Fluminis ll 'Mid shrieks and yells and screams of rage, And teasing and grieving and pulling of hair- Disgraceful for girls of such an age. Diana fussed and fumed and boiled, 'Cause Elle.n and Peggy her pen had spoiled, Sherry, the President, scolded in vain, Grades seven and eight were at it again. Robin and Marie turned towards the door, Miss Mclnnis arrived and mischief was o'er: Banging and bumping immediately s.topped,- Attention was turned on ink to be mopped. Isobel hastened a blotter to bring, Joan hurriedly took it and blotting began, More blotters were tossed to the scene of the mess, And Valery spoilt the front of her dress. Marion tried to study her maths While Shirley and Gail were asking, What class? Donalda was changing her tunic and shirt, And Betty was cleansing her shoes of their dirt. Marjory and Mary are good girls in class, But are ready to join in the fun when they are asked. The bell sounded loud and the classes began, And now they are working as hard as they can!
