Frank Lord. assistant keeper at the

II would like to name the girl
giraffe Lady writes Dora Marie
Clayton, IL years old, 1929 Kenyon
street. IT'S nickname all us chill
dren call my mother and she has
been more interested in our giraffe
contest than any other grown-up 1
know. We have a house full of
pets and If there was any place to
put 1t I am sure our Lady would
be glad to have the giraffe, too"
James Lawrence Duke, 1919 V
street southeast, sends in little
verse:
"She's the only baby that never
makes any noise.
Which is most puzzling to us
girls and boys;
Yet she is always happy, though
she can't shout or sing,
For with her great long neck
she can reach most anything"
Girl Suggests kiss Me-"
Evelyn Gardiner, 1853 T street,
be a very suitable name for girl
giraffe, because she is so high that
nobody could possibly kiss her. This
would be a rather humorous name be-
cause it would make people laugh at
the idea of kissing such a tall, funny
looking creature"
Elizabeth Cunningham, 10 years
old, 1853 Todd place northeast, also
turns to poetry to express her emo
tons. She writes:
Away in far-off Asia
Mount Everest rises high;
With clouds about it's summit,
1t seems to touch the sky.
"And now from faroff Africa,
Where the bright sun shines
so warm,
Comes another towering object,
But of quite a different form.
"Everesta' is a fine name;
That l hope you'll see;
IT'S fit for any lady,
And it fits her to a tee"
DAISY" Her Choice.
Catherine L. Ennis, 1862 T street,
writes: Il think Daisy would be a
daisy has a small head and long
neck, which reminds me of the
giraffe"
Harry D. Williamson jr., II years
old, TAI Park road, writes: II think
Dorothy would be good name for the
girl giraffe because it means Gift of
God" and she is the gift Of God to
our Zoo. For short she could be
called Dotty because it Is short for
Dorothy, and giraffes have dots all
over them
