THE BOOK OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-ELEVEN
199
Emma Yarnall is most awfully swell
And quite the Philadelphia belle.
Can you guess who
But Harriet Couch would keep a zoo?
She’s at the Bronx and has the care \
Of all the little reptiles there.
Margaret Doolittle at Oxford seeks
Ue gf 0B
Her thesis is to be
The slang of early Greeks.
Margaret Dulles makes it her career
In diplomatic circles to appear.
Can you guess whose name on the lighted theatre boards is seen,
Which one of us has become the gayest, brightest Broadway queen?
Who but Hellie Henderson could be our comic opera star,—
The so-called Titian terror, famed afar.
Kate Delano preferred a life of psalms
And lifting up her heart to deeds of alms,
But fate decreed another place
For Katie with her social grace.
An Italian duke sought to win her;
Kate forgot the suffering sinner,
Coyly to his request complied
And became his beauteous, blushing bride.
For the lighter side of life our Ginny did not care,
But took to teaching school with a most grave, judicial air.
Phil and Will would not be parted.
Though both married, they have started
Housekeeping side by each,
Always in sympathetic reach.
