lass Dear readers, we hereby submit The labor of many fair days, Now if it with favor you greet, Your kindness this labor repays. Now, please, ere we start on this Venture Give audience first to a word, It is, that we've written no slam- ming Nor should any slam be inferred. And also we crave of your patience, A great deal of it we shall need. Our words have to fit with our rhym- mg, So little to quaintness pay heed. So, after much long delaying, We'll now our epic present, A It's time! we hear you all saying. Let's go, then! Are ears kindly bent? We know of two maidens, the sort Who are now satisfied with their lot- Miss Heller just longs to be short, While Miss Mary Abata does not! Straight and stalwart -the Major , A veritable hero is he. Our play brought forth his abil'ty, But he'd practised before that, you see. Gladys Andrews Cmay Fortune exalt her!J Her talent in writing's no mystergy And one thing's as sure as Gibraltar, She made a good job of our History! Albert Casale likes the French, And how he can sling it - Oh My! In the French play he sure did repay His teacher's hard efforts. Some guy! s Page Twenty-t'wo get CHRONICLE Ives'- 08771 Miss Arbour may possibly be A hairdresser great some fine day. The gentlemen all you will see Asking permanent waves sans delay. O'er our ship of state he presides, And wisely and well has he done. His name - have you guessed it? - is Dortg He shall find his place in the sun. Miss Beebe's a talented lassie Who plays the violin very well, Her stories are also quite classy, Some people would say they were aswell. Our class boasts a giant, no less, From Milldale comes Lou - quite a way. In sports he excels every time, An upstanding young man, one would say. , Do you know that Miss Bingham's a lawyer? In equity she doth excel. Just think of the lucky employer Whose lawsuits she'll manage so well! Up in the clouds is our Howie, At least, there his thoughts often gog To aviate is his ambition, The great world his genius shall know. All hail to our young Mistress Mary! Whose last name, you know, is Bitel. She never is one bit contrarv, But behaves most remarkably well.

-MI CHRONICLE 144- Roger Edwards doth greatly excel In dramatics and scholarship too, For he has worked wisely and well, To him fitting praises are due. Oh, why aren't there more Betty Blanks ? Such a happy and popular lass! We give her our heartiest thanks For the help she has been to the class. A lanky young red-head is Joseph, A breaker of hearts iso they sayl 5 This fact - it does not surprise me, I don't doubt that the statement's O. K. Casey Degnan and Al go together CAnd Ferrucci and Pal are near byl. They are found thus in all kinds of weather, To deny it would be a big lie! During this last year of High Entrusted to Ferut was our treasure. IIe's kept it right well, we would say, His doing it's given us pleasure. Our Dot has a long walk to school, But instead of appearing a-weary, She meets everyone with a smile And a greeting good-natured and cheery. L:1rry's a good baseball pitcher. His loss next year will be felt: His teachers will miss UD him from classes, We're sure into tears they will melt. A pleasant young lady is Fritzi, On loads of committees is she. We hope that she'll not get so ritzi That her classmates of yore she can't see. If, as you look 'round the school, A bright-shining red-head you see, 'Tis Adam and none other but. Another air-man is he. Gertrude Galick is clever with pen- cils, With typing and all that pertainsg She has run off a great many sten- cils And all with the greatest of pains. Apart we cannot describe them, They go hand in hand in a pair. Their names are Leon and Clement, For history and Ag they've a flair. Miss Gasecki with favor impresses All those whom she chances to meet, She wears the most charming of dresses And always looks dainty and sweet. When anything needs advertisement From Harold one gets it always, He just goes and makes up a poster Which ever much talent displays. A bookkeeper right in the making, Miss Gudat, of course, is the one. Her accounts will be neat and pain- staking, Adding up to a fabulous sum. In trackmeets Bruce Lindsay sur- passes While leaving behind him much dust. His motto for so we suppose ith Is I'll beat that record or bust! A singer is Miss Ruthie Holmes, In the glee club she's been for four years. Her singing would e'en charm the gnomes By entrancing their musical ears. Pugv T11-vnty-rl11'n
