Seventh Heaven These are the saints and the angels, who dwell in the heavenly regions, Highest in Metcalf they dwell. How did they come to abide there? First of all Carolyn went, because of her ‘‘Christian’’ position. Next for helping the poor, in community service all aiding, Marjorie then took her place. A breath of contentment and sweetness Wafted our Carrie aloft, near to the ladder of heaven. Alma, the classical SERENE in eager pursuit of Olympus, Strayed here and stayed pees content,—it equalled the place where the gods dwell! For there was a lyrical poet, extolling in accents divine The deeds of these highest. And there, a mistress of form and of color, Sinsheimer, the heavenly painter, created their likeness immortal. By the wings of her love was uplifted Rebecca, to clouds filled with day-dreams. The low, pleading voice of the ‘‘Palmer”’ could not be denied at the gate- way; It gained her a refuge and haven. While all were absorbed in the tale, Unnoticed she entered, so small was the ‘‘Abbott.’”—The portals were closing. A flash, a wild scramble, and last through the entrance squeezed Martha, the late one! These are the saints and the angels, who dwell in the heavenly regions. But have they no earthly attachments? Ah yes, they have sisters below them, Lost in the depths of Avernus, to whom they descend on occasions!

Che Cragics Above the gentle reader sees A motley group of tragedies But they are merely in disguise Because their place of lodging les In Tragedy Alley. Katie seems to have gone quite mad, But why? Just because she has had To give us demerits, we were so bad. Under that mammoth head there hides “Baby Dos’ with the blasé eyes! Household Ec., messes she could not bake, So a mess of her life our ‘Pin’ will make! What is more tragic than Dotty the Grind, And Peg who seems to leave college behind? Judging from ‘“‘Cutie’s” giggle gay, She’s no reason to drown her life away. Anna has no need of a rope. Her marks are higher than most could hope. To prison stripes our Wilie did fall, To pay for late dashes down the hall! Of all the tragedies these lines unfurl Gin thinks the worst is a homely girl! But be assured, in reality, They all are a happy family!
