mind is lald.
Thinking back, we all remember,
The fifteenth OF last September,
Mrs. Simpson started out to let
us see
South American views of places
Spanish towns and Spanish faces,
Things that were, and things that
are, and things to be.
Cast and class and our relations,
With these small, progressive ma
tions,
Were the topics we discussed with
keenest joy.
Pan Americanism lauded,
Great men of S. A. applauded,
By our very clever member, Mrs.
Toye.
Transportation, with it's hustle
Commerce, and the Yankee hustle,
Which has even penetrated to S. A.
What our consuls are achieving,
What our missions are receiving,
Were the things we learned about
another day.
Then a halt was called to study,
And beside the fire. light ruddy,
We INDUCED to our content in
Christmas cheer,
For, as Mrs. Cutting told us
We should let this Joy enfold US
AS merry Christmas comes but
Once year.
But the New Year found us trying,
With an interest still undying
To discover how our southern
neighbors live
So, with boldness really shocking,
To their doors the Club came knock.
ing,
Asking any information they
might give.
But we found the same old story,
Be it said to her own glory,
Woman there, as everywhere, is
great and grand;
Man as always, leaning on her,
knowing all depends upon her,
Trusting ever in her heart, her
her head. her hand.
Do they really care for money.
These slow, happy folk? How funny!
Well my friends, Il may be funny,
but its true:
For you know, in January,
On matters monetary
A delightful talk Miss Whalen
gave to you.
Art and Writing,
And, alas! how we've been sighting
All the literary out put of S. A.
All the industries together,
Diamonds, lumber, meat and leather
Sponges, fora, fauna, sports and
music gay.
AS we deemed it necessary,
To discuss things sanitary;
DR.. Amy was authority on this.
Then we went to each fair city.
And we thought it quite pity.
That we could not share in person
all their bliss.
Zen the islands We're not sighted,
And we all were quite delighted.
With Tobago, Margarita, Trinidad
Mrs. DR.. Hutchinson, you were owing
For the many things we're knowing
Anu Tie III NlliOo
we have had.
Without any more detention,
In conclusion | would mention
All the things that in the past our
club has done;
For the Red Cross we were ready
Working early, late and steady,
Yes, you bet we did our bit to
see that peace was won.
Peace regiven-happy hearted
Let's continue as we started,
MAY we learn to live, and may
we live to learn"
Heart and mind thus cultivating,
Others lives thus elevating,
Ladies, let this be the end for
which we yesrn.
Let us Loyalty remember
Each beloved charter member.
And the officers who've labored
long and we'll;
Let us by our glad laudation,
Show our keen appreciation
For their work-nor fear our
gratitude to tell
Since | see that some are weary,
Too polite to yawn but nearly
/ shall close my speech, reluctant,
nevertheless.
l would thank you all, however,
For each personal endeavor
To make DEBORAH Current Event
Club grand success.
