The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1896-03-20

And stopped FOR Jim to get IN his rig;
Then they started to that mild cline
EXpectlnSln unusual good time.
They had sent word on ust before,
Saying, girls don't look ior us till after ~;
The compass pointed ~ the Carless home
AS they drove on with their "rackabone."
They both. like nearly wi young men,
Are subject to the "biC-head" now and then;
And so decorated their face with an eXpan-
SiVe smile,
Hoping to charm the damsels in II very little
while.
I'll do that fellow up with the mole on his
cheek,
viii said"I'm in it you know, with Mary
And III make that Elder feel like picked
cherry.
Both "wse in their own conceit"
Cast not u thought as to getting beat;
And SO drove on with u Carless air,
Feeling so good COZ they curled their hair
But after making u few squints and "a bend,
Their good feeling all come to an end;
For they learned quite to their sad surprise
That two Yale chaps had opened their eyes.
The boys had heard of the plotted game
And ventured down to witness the same:
Yale got there a little ah cad of Lynn,
And left their rigs standing and hurried in.
Come on girls and go for ride,
And Wen all be back by even tide;
Wen go to the Lake Oh the Stirling farm,
And fish for suckers, Twill be no harm.
The girls asked, will we use nets or hooks?
Oh, the latter,
Thought they. viewing their bait in the form
= OF batter;
How fortunate we are to receive from Yale
Two oily pieces of brainless whale
AS they east out their hooks the suckers begin
to bite,
just as many boys do when they get tight;
But the moments passed quickly away
And they soon learned twas no longer day.
No ice, no frost, so much like spring that week
Is possibly why they had the fishing streak;
But had our boys returned some other way
They might not have swalled the hook that
day.
However two suckers were found-not bad
luck,
Which proved to be viii and Jim mred deep
in the muck;
In pity the girls removed the hooks,
Saying, ION, my, how sucker looks"
With reference to the school affair
