Reference is made TO Miss Laura
Steel, whose planning and indefatig-

ing good nature and faith in the ul-
innate outcome Of the whole affair,
made its success possible.

LOOKING FOR SANTA CLAUS

N NJ looking for dear Santa Claus;
~ hope he'll surely come
With packs of gifts and goodies cause
| want nice big drum;
A trumpet; and train of cars;
A horse that makes bow;
wonder if the blinking stars
Can see where he is now.
I'm waiting for dear Santa Claus
To bring a lot of things;
Tops knives, a dog with shaggy paws ;
And flying boats with wings:-
Then can give some toys to Ned
Who left our school last year;
He works because his fathers dead
To help his mother dear.
I'm watching for dear Santa Claus;
I'd like to get look,
When from his pack he slyly draws
New skates, sled or book
But mother says he'll dash away
If | should dare to peep;
And so I'll just kneel down and pray,
And then go off to sleep.
