8 THE ORACLE Helen Burnett Since writing the limericks for the rest of the class For myself I’ve nothing to tell But I wish to say, “ For the good of our book It----is---------well.” Henrietta Coleman She has the voice of a cooing dove ; And a smile like a summer breeze Which floats around and smiles on all Like the sun after rain on the trees. She is ready and willing to give her love Especially to those who’ve a dearth And always sure of her sympathy Are the suffering ones on earth. She’ll help you out of any old hole, No matter how hard the shove. In general her whole disposition is one, Which comes from a heart full of love. Leaman Conrad Among our class there is a lad Of world wide student’s fame His parents dubbed him Leaman For want of a better name He played the part of the “Bishop” And came for a spinster fair ; But Louise’s charms proved too much for him And he broke Alvina’s snare. He’s next to the smartest in our class, But to Spader he had to yield And as salutatorian he must be content. Till he finds a larger field. Elizabeth Crofut “Linked sweetness long drawn out.” A kind friend if you please Tho she’s not inclined to labor For herself or for her neighbor; And she dearly loves her ease. She’s a dear when she is with you very jolly, it is true; But do not start her laughing For she never will get thru.
