Did Mary ever love that lamb Oh yes and told it so It followed her to school one day And oh was Mary proud To see the children wave at him And then to him they bowed But then the teacher turned him out But still he lingered near He said I hate you teacher Then at her hed sneer You should be kind to little lambs And never treat them cruel For they grow lovely soft white wool To keep you warm at school They never go bankrupt Nor pay cents on the dollar Their wool they carry on their backs To every needy scholar I just dropped in when running by So check up on your needs To see that all the girls have kilts And ail the boys have tweeds But you ignored my kindness To you HI say Adieu And if I dont come back again Its all because of you But if Mary hears her lamb Far out upon the plain Then sends the shepherd with his crook Ill come back to her again Bertha Clarkson Special decorations arc made for the class room At home simil ar ones are made for the baby the neighbors the egg man

uninterest ing our advertisements would be come if the variety and spice from the advent of such days was lacking The past weeks were rich with important days and each one was observed fittingly at our house How was it at yours On Robbie Burns day the men folk of the family wore their tar tan ties However the illusion was shattered when we learned later that Ted had greeted every one with a bright Top of the to ya On ground hog day he had us all posted like sentries to observe and record the Mr began writing for the Era the following February It does not scent such a long time looking back to those days when every one we met was a stranger But when realize how many ac quaintances and warm friends we have made through our news paper work we feel that it could not have been accomplished In so short a time May we take this opportunity to thank all those who assist us in this work by sending In their copy regularly on We have greatly enjoyed the letters and phone calls
