The Boarders How one' s thoughts run far and wide How they vanish like the tide! Here I sit obeying orders Thinking of the Villa Boarders. In 264 there is our Julie, She's a Soph that we love truly, Then Marcella, whose love affair lfVe eouldn't possibly atteinpt to hear, Virginia loves to study hard, She shows it by her quarterly eard, Gingie is always the last to arrive kVhen due at four, she eonies at five. Mid. is as tiny as she can be Her feet are even sinall and wee, Then therels Graee's eharining srnile, Her lovely ways and her winsoine wiles, Margie lives to eolleet poems and skits, Odes to love and bits of wit, Mary, 1 think, will soon be wed, Just now she loves to wash her head, Genevieve eanxe to us this year, VVe're certainly glad to have her here. Jane likes sports, basketball most The only varsity boarder of which We boast. 'Winnie likes a big man, too, The favorite of the favored few. Peggy's him is an athlete nian, So she's an enthusiastic football fan. Ida likes the niovie stars She's had enough to fill two ears. There I've gone frorn door to door The occupants of tl1e upper floor! The famous boarders of '31, TVho live wholesonie life of fun, I. M., 131. . 0300150 The students of Villa Maria Academy believed a real Christnaas included giving as well as receiving. And proof of this was firinly entrenched iii the hearts of nearly one hundred of E1-ie's neediest faniilies who were given huge baskets of food and clothing by the girls of the high school on Thursday, December 18th. Sixty-five baskets, filled with sufficient food to last a faniily several days, were packed and distributed by the girls. A large quantity of clothing brought by the lassies was also distributed. The high sehool girls held a eharity dance Thursday evening and with the proceeds ten additional food baskets were obtained. These baskets were not distributed to the sehool neighborhood alone but 'were taken to various parts ol' the city and given to the needy. This saine group of girls, mindful of the good work xvhieh was being ae- eonrplished by Mulligan llall, eontributed 255.00 for this worthy eause. E 11:3 f
