Margaret Thomas, a poet illustrious, Has of late become very industrious. She published in songs A tale of the wrongs Of George Brine, Arthur Brock, and the rest of us. Barbara Holmes and Pete Scarseth co-edit The Cham-bana news'-Daily Saidit- In which has appeared, As we have long feared, The news that the two had been wedded. Pierre Noyes, who was never re- pressed In argument for the oppressed, Has become a dictator Down near the equator- And knows it is all for the best. Bob DeLong built a bridge o'er the Boneyard Which was crossed by Miss Felt, who's no coward. The bridge suddenly cracked At her dainty impact- Miss Felt was immersed in the Bone- yard. Virginia Allen, an historian eminent Wrote a tome filled with history evi- dent. Pilcher was to publish it, But she took a good look at it- In despair threw away that white ele- phant. Dorothy Murphy's retired from so- cietyg She's become the pink of propriety. A home she did enter, Where John Rayburn sent her, When her escapades caused him anxiety. The taxi conducted by Lavin Developed a rear tire spavin. Even with Stouffer Acting as chauffeur, The spavin gave pain to Miss Lavin. In the last presidential election We noticed a minor defection. Braintruster Phil A. VV as defeated that day- Now the country's in need of correc- tion. Alma Bullock, who is not a minority, Has exercised her parental authority. She up and forbade Her offspring to gad- jack Cummings approved her severity. Elsa Proehl, who used to be rneeker, Has become a notorious speaker. She lectures on isms And unions and schisms- Her hearers grow weaker and weaker. Page Tue tyf

Mary Gordon's the national president Of the athletic association, so emi- nent. Among her great satellites Who so nearly are parasites, Jeanne Denison is unusually evident. Spearo Variames, a wrestler renowned, Until lately had never been downed. Then he met Eugene Armstrong And got himself in wrong- Some pieces have not yet been found. The last heard of Schnebly, John R.. He was swimming in, over the Bar. When tried by his court, Margie's only retort Was, S0fial service is better by farf' Ethel Mcllonaldls fulfilled her am- bition: She's acquired an army position. She mends everyone's rents And she puts up the tents- She hasn't yet earned a commission. Ruth VVooters, who was formerly quiet, Has learned how to rage and to riot. The frying pan flies When Jim Goodman she eyes, And Jimmy is loath to defy it. Dr. Hartley's sad fate is well known. His hair over night gray had grown. When he could not hinder The return of Earl Finder, His math classes he did disown. Van Vranken, who's dyed his hair red, And Winklemann, so it is said, e 7 euty-five J Ihotograph Beauty In line of their duty- And there isn't much more to be said! Pickerill keeps an aquarium ln conjunction with Tony's herbar- iumg All the worms that they wish Are supplied to the fish. They are lively-you'd better beware of 'em. The piratical instincts of Dave Have made him a good-natured knaveg He joined a small band ln a tropical land- No other life does he crave. Bob Swartz has lately been caught In the halls where once he was taught. Now he scours and scrubs With the help of the rubs Of Ted Variames, Nancy Ruth, and Rod Short. A very nice girl is Jeanne Vawter. She often does just as she ought-er. The clothes she designs For the Hollywood lines And Peg Loomis have almost dis- traught her. David Brown has invented a robot Which comes whenever you call it. Lehmann and Gould VVere both of them fooled When they answered instead of the robot.
