THE FIvE-FIFTEEN
: BH TIE MAN IN THE TOWER

Do you recall long ago
 When you were about sixteen! The big climax of the day
 Was the arrival of the five-fnteen. In those days with the wild crowd Small things brought much pleasure; There was fun galore in that one-horSe town And plenty to do at your leisure. In the afternoon about four o'clock You'd take stroll down the street, Arm in arm with your very pest chum For chocolate soda treat. At the corner drug the crowd was gathered You joked and said, Oh, you kid! Then along about five o'clock
 This is just what you did. Down to the depot the whole crowd hurried To see the evening express arrive, Hustle, hustle, grinding of wheels, Everything was sure alive. Sometimes friend got off the train Or prominent citizen was seen But everybody went down anyway To meet the five-fifteen.
