Oh. ever. ever Free!
Over hills and valleys you ronm,

Oh. changing Sea,
The hystcric passengers are revived

HOW TO START THE NEW YEAR
RIGHT.

inc Ola year stole away last night.
Now let us start the New Year right:
Let all the members. old or new.
Follow the rules as they should do:
Never picture from anything
should you trace,
Never rewritten poem in an origi-
nal ones place:
Let all the work sent in be only by
you.
Even though prizes are very, very
few.
