possible for the enjoyment of the school.

ment we had the "Funnv Man. the Man

And shades of night were coming on,
Each one, a dear and honOred guest,
Believed that time the very best

Brought out for them her goodies good;

And bad them lay aside their fears

Pronouncing it a way most rare

And you'll call that the vely best
