THE BOOK OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-ELEVEN

197

 

Agnes Wood has Beatrice Herford skun a mile
With her monologues delivered in her racy style;
While Ruth Roberts and Julia play so well
Their music casts a magic spell.

To Spain our Aggie Murray went,
To follow there her bent,

To learn to speak the tongue
Which at college she’d begun.

Mary Minor, of Southern fame,

Has proved her theory just the same;
The glorious South comes to its own.
Is she the power behind the throne?

Ruth Tanner and Norvelle are on the concert stage
And in the music world are all the rage.

Dottie Thayer’s paintings make a great stir

And set the art world all a-whir.

Emily Caskey, who writes such clever rhymes,

And Constance Wilbur, who speaks such witty lines,
With their joint accomplishments

Edit the comic supplements

Of the Times.

Mollie followed her early bent to nurse
The sick, and to disperse
The dread diseases which make them worse.

Isabel Buchanan has so great a culinary skill
That she was lately asked to fill

The new chair at college

For dispensing domestic knowledge.
