1636 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE 'Tis at 1636 Mass. Where dwells a happy crewg There are tall, there are small, There are some fat ones, too. 'lTubby's an example Of the fat and jolly lord. Stubby is another Who didn't dodge the Ford. Dot and 'lK 'are Seniors, The sole ones we possess. Doris had to leave our midst For home and quiet rest. Barba1'a's full of ready Wit, She always has the floor And Rena walking in her sleep Fights witches at the door. Laurie 's fond of Jllellezfs food, ' It seems to make her thrive, For when it's time to play some Jazz She's very much alive. t Ruth is very quiet, . She hardly makes a sound. Wee Binksy is right there on time, . When cake is passed around. I Making up stunts for Betty and Wizzy Sure keeps the rest of us mighty busy. Acrqbats' tricks and dancing, too, Are some of the things that they can do. Calendar is long and lanky, And dotes on good times, 'tis said. Eldredge has her hands full To see that all are in bed CU. Everyone here is accounted for, The jolly 1636 crewg - I'm sure that you'll agree with me, A A finer bunch ne'er grew. E. F. I-I., 1920 150 -
