McKEE HIGH SCHOOL

Listen in the reader

"I here provide," our Chairman cried, "For each subject a trained adviser, As week by week you hear them speak, You are getting wiser and wiser."

Our F. G. T. is not at sea On "Carriage of Goods by Water," The rules are vague, quoth he, by Hague! And they should be surer and shorter,

McNeely's wit, explained "the Pit," And how to deal in "futures," His sheaf of wheat he tied as neat As any surgeon's sutures.

Sir C. H. T. most learnedly Discoursed of arbitration, 'Tis clear as mud, that still M'Lud, We can't oust litigation.

B. G. D. P., most welcome he, G. A. and F. P. Ately, We hope he'll deign to speak again, We like his lectures greatly.

All this proves true our Chairman's view, Speaking strictly to the letter, That day by day, in a business way, We are getting better and better.
