There was bustle and a shouting, And he came in with a vim, Large old chap with massive shoulders, Samuel Koss now teaches gym. Herman Kohn deserves some mention, Mesirov and Mayer, too- In the lists of textile owners They rank with the select few. Melhorn, and his friend McCandless, Are attorneys of the law, Phil supplies the brain-work needed, And it's Nat who works his jaw. On the semi-monthly Journal Of the staff of Daily Cheese, In this strongest paper ever- William Trowbridge blows the breeze. Of the men at the reunion There were some stood out that day, Who accumulated fortunes- One of these was Henry Gray. Yes, Hen made a mint of money Many men have tried to mooch, The secret of the combination Of Gray's substitute for hooch. In that strike in Grimwade's foundry There was one who led the list, Daniel Gaudin ran the labor, Ran them with an iron fist. 27

Dressed in uniforms of khaki, Voices hoarse fromtshouting Halt l Came two sergeants from the army, Maschall Brothers-Charles and Walt. John D. Shoemaker's a surgeon, Has retired with a wad, As a surgeon.he's an artist, Has put fourteen 'neath the sod. Pewee Richardson has changed some, Is a man of brawny arms, Got his strength from Mother Nature, Milking cows on Vela's farms. In the field of children doctors, Ralph and Leonard lead a mile- Children take to them like candy, .Mothers love their ready smile. From a distant town in Utah, Neville came, and Neiman toog Neville's lost his girlish beauty, Neiman's hairs, once thick, are few. Gone that air of slight aloofness, Gone that superficial stare, Both just plain old country farmers Plodding, bent beneath life's care. In a mansion out at Bryn Mawr James S. Caterson resides, Has a large and spacious factory, Deals in leathers and in hides. 26

v s 'N Q 'I' ii -5 . 3 5 NNW 21, We .Q it X i As you know, the case went courtward, Now all wrangling's out for fair, Justice Koontz, the arbitrator, Treated both sides fair and square. Godfrey Carlson and Charles Crawford Say, Potatoes make you fat g Have a restaurant on Broadway, They now rival Automat. Among those who joined the clergy, And who serve for man and God- Donald Lauck has done his duty, In the righteous path he's trod. Even New York stock exchange Sent some brokers on that day- Bowman, Perry and A. Waldron, Led by little Vernon Gray. E. M. Bate, the tennis champion, With his racket came from Rome, And he called her Molly darling- A Wonder what he calls her home? Arthur Walters we now greeted, Let him have a Hip, Hooray, He's retired now from business, Lolls in rolling wealth today. And the signs at every cross-road, All the country o'er 'twould seem, Shriek to heaven the great virtue Of Art Walter's Pimple Cream. Julian Goldberg is a jeweler, Owns a pompous jewelry store, Has ten expert diamond salesmen, With two footmen at the door. 28
