Our Alphabet. D stands of Devilbiss, also for dunce You must observe this upon meeting him once. His talking and "gassing" from morning ti11night Gives one the impression that "Buckey" will fight. E stands for Elderdice, studious lad ? ? ? His books make his face inexpressibly sad. His tones are sepulchral, his features not fair, You get the impression it's thundr'ing somewhere. F stands for Fleagle who seems very shy But says he will smile at a girl bye and bye, He's very good-natured and throughout his course He's played the good part of the classtcals' horse. H is for Hoffman, demure as a nun. Whose virtues are many, 1'11mention just one. He never spends money not even to treat, A tight-wad like this don't you think's hard to beat? I is for Insley, another great squawk He's right up to Buckey when time comes to talk. We're always contented when Levin keeps still, For when he starts talking, Gee Whiz! What a pi11l o is for Orrick of Glyndon renown, Who's fond of a joke if he does wear a gown As reader on Sunday with air dignified. In him fun and gravity dwell side by side. 172
