Wasn’t it nice when the lamp went out? Silently, and one by one, In the record books of the teachers, Blossom the little zeros, The forget-me-nots of the pupils. My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank, The height of the contents to see; He lighted a match, to assist him, “Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.” Twenty Freshmen grew up fast Seniors they became at last All were dunces in the lot— Every lesson they forgot. Now they sit in other schools Teaching other little fools. Go put your creed into your deed, Nor speak with double tongue.

TAPS 12 Our Gallery FRANCES M-ARY BALNIS—“There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one’s ability.’’ Ladies and gentlemen, to the side you see a picture of Frances Mary Balnis, a worthy Senior of '23. She is a most in- dustrious scholar, and a model of behav- ior for all wild Frosh.es. We can’t decide in which subject she excels. Frances, it’s hard to know what to say. Since we can’t find a lot of faults to enumerate, as we very easily can for some, we just want you to know that you have our best wishes for success. ELIZABETH BENiNETT CAMPBELL —“A lady kind and mild.” Betty (she doesn’t like that, but she detests “Lizzie,” therefore we take the lesser of two evils), Essie, we should say, is one of our most sophisticated and polish- ed animals— except once in a while. She has labored hard and faithfully to capture and retain the fugitive knowledge that lurks here. Go thou and do likewise reader, and be wise. She it was who christened our school paper when both she and it were new in High School, leaving it as a remembrance of her. Bon Voyage in life, Mademoiselle! NANCY ETHEL CAMPBELL— “I cannot check my girlish blush, My 'color comes and goes.” Another of the notorious Campbell Kids. “Petunia” is some actress; if you don’t believe it, ask her and see for yourself; and as for being a mimic, no simian could surpass her. She is some speaker too; who has not heard her from the Senior Room to the lowest regions? We recom- mend you to try a dose of Nance for a sour disposition. Favorable results guar- anteed. She works as hard as she flirts, which is saying quite a lot, you must ad- mit. Three cheers for Petunia!
