PRICE ONE GENT
MILLERSVILLE.

This IS for the benefit Of those who were
just out of it;
For them pen this rhyme
Our Harvest Festival IS DER
I'VE really ought TO have morel
And such lovely time.
Has ne er been had up here. they saw.
Since Millersville was known.
The day was gloomy. and the ground
was damp
The weather clerk (mischievous scampn
Tried us a trick to play
But all his efforts were in vain
What do good Catholics care for rain N
We did not waste a minute,
For each one worked with might and main
Some worked until they got painl
For they were strictly ''in it,.
And when the crowd began TO come.
Surprise Just made the people dumb
burst of music met them
Such melodies burst on the air.
OF course they could not choose but hear
We hope they won't forget them.
The grove was filled with banners gay
The table first across the way
Belonged to Mr.. Gies.
lie furnished all the candy sweet.
For kindness he cannot be beat.
And may II never cease
filS Goshngs, too, had each part
His charming girls broke many a heart;
Ills boys are Just like him.
NO higher praise can well be given
FOR KIND hearts have their birth in heaven
While human minds are dim.
The Wheel of Fortune MRS. B.)
Had that, you really ought to see;
II made ms lots of money
Our chairman, Mr.. Baldwin. he
Worked for it hard as hard could he
And was as sweet as honey,
The funny table pleased the eve
And many persons came to buy
And there stood Mr.. Polk.
Miss Muhlmeister, and Miss Daisy X.
They both came from Annapolis far
And got of many Joke.
The dining tent across the way
Was occupied by two that day
For Mrs Cecil sweet,
With dignihed and solemn air
Helped Mrs. Baldwin give some rare
And good things out to cat.
The pavilion for Terpsichore,
With its smooth and polished floor,
Belonged to Mr. +.
And many gay and tripping feet
OF gallant lads and lassies sweet
That same old floor did see.
And when the folks began to think
1t was most time to take drink
They sought out Mr.. ]. b, Ihand
And there they found "soft drinks on
(TheY re very soft, you understand,
And would not hurt baby.)
Next, Mr.. Miller came in line,
Indeed, he has been more than kind,
He laid our corner stone;
And came and did just all he could.
To everyone was kind and good.
And kept us all in tone, ~
Annapolis boys were there in force.
They were among the best, Of course,
These boys in standing collars.
They came and spent their money, too,
And that was what they ought to do,
We cleared five hund ed dollars.
The fortune tellers reigned supreme,
And were the cause of many a dream
And wonder over fate.
They ''took in dimes and patrons, too,
They proved to us what they can do
And worked till very late.
The "nigger babies run by Zoe
Muhlmelster, taught us how to throw,
Though some boys were afraid
To show to all their lack of skill
They went to Johnny Martins .,still"
And drank--some lemonade
And Mr., Dorsey's graphophone
Just sat and played there all alone
And did not miss line.
Its music was as good as he
Has always been and tries to be
And you can bet twas fine.
The Grab Bag was in Phil Polk's care,
And everybody had a share
OF all the good things in it.
Some said there was nice god ring
With precious stones the dearest thing,
And each one tried to win it.
The pigeon shoot caused much fun
And Mr.. Macman made each one
Go whirling through the air.
The crackerJacks all tried their hand
They broke the record at the stand
And made opponents smear.
And through it all our Father moved,
SO wise, SO gracious, SO beloved
And reverenced by us all
They say deserved success is best,
If so. his heart may be at rest,
so let the curtain fall
