l920 CHAMPION Uhr Sail! Brain In school Ruth is the biggest pest, She even gets called up to the teacher's desk For some small prank or joke she's played. Which don't concern him in the tiniest way. One day Mr. Loeser said, in a very good tone, I should like to see the following in the office alone: QThe syllables came forth with a great boomj, Leona, Helen, Irene, Daisie and Ruth. Their hearts jumped up in the roof of their mouths, It scared them so bad they knew not what they were about. They all arose and left the room, All in the assembly wondering what was their doom. Arriving at the office in great promptu, All so scared they were turning blue, It was quite a contrast upon that carpet of green, Which adorns the office with its pretty beam. You may be seated, said Mr. Loeser in his usual tone, I have some important business for which you must atone. I have noticed that your deportment is very low, And I should like to give you another show. They promised to atone and be very good, That is if Mr. Loeser would consent to time to improve. He consented in a very nice way, And said, That will be all for today. They returned to the assembly all looking bright, With hopes in their bosoms of making it right. All in the room gave them a wondering glance, Thinking, perhaps, they had a slim chance. If any of you people wanting to know, As to whether they carried their promise to the close, Ask any of the teachers of W. H. S., I'm sure they'll put your curiosity to rest.
