' TWAS THE NIGHT OF THE GRAD DANCE ' Twas the night of the Grad Dance. Confusion at home! In my bath I was scrubbing in bubbles and foam. My formal was hung by the bedside with care. In hopes a corsage on the waist would be there. The sweet-smelling soap called Sugar ' n ' Spice Made me start hoping I ' d really smell nice. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bath to see what was the matter. I peeked through my curtains with greatest of care, It can ' t be my escort , I cried in despair. When what to my wondering eyes should appear. But eight tiny roses and a card, oh so dear ! With a sigh of relief I returned to my dressing, A run in my stocking, Oh no, how distressing! A shoe and a stocking, — crinolines galore. And I heard Father mumble, How many more? Lipstick and powder put on with such pain. And I thought to myself, What ' s all this going to gain? At last I was finished and ready to go. Oh, where is my escort? Don ' t tell me he ' s slow! With Mum ' s Do be careful, and Dad ' s Not too late, We set off in the car for our wonderful date. Cocktails at Sue ' s and then on to dinner. The food was ' delish ' , but we ' re not any thinner. At last to the Gym decorated with streamers. Open house after, we enjoyed it at Skeymer ' s. Tired but happy we went home to our beds. While visions of the Grad Dance whirled in our heads. M. G. Morton, Arts VI, Fairley House. On April 14, Miss Louise Masten was married to Mr. P. C.
