Thanks. Blesings on thee, little dame, Barebacked girl with knees the same; With thy turned down silken hose And thy thin, transparent clothes; With thy red lips reddened more, Smeared with lipstick from the store; With thy make-up on thy face And thy bobbed hair ' s jaunty grace. From my heart I give thee joy. Glad that I was born a boy! — W. P. Roby In the days of old When men were bold. And Fords were not invented; You walked your lass, O ' er blades of grass. And went along contented. Nowadays Proverbs George Dice — A fool and his high school are soon parted. Hank Snyder — Handsome is as long as handsome doesn ' t. Dot Brock — The wind bloweth, and the wind ceaseth, but the she casseth never. W. W. — Whom the teacher loveth, he chasteneth, and he loveth many. R. Burrows — He who sneaked his best friend ' s woman, committeth an abomination in the eyes of his best friend. Mickey M. — Rolling the bones gathers no moss. Al Comstock — Never put off for tomorrow what you can miss today. Bill Dembinsky — He who loves and runs away, loves another the next day.
