Wabbly aed Weak
Versus
Solid and Strong
Water cant rise above its level
Nor can a community rise above the
level of its citizenship
If the citizens are lukewarm limp
and lazy the town will be wishy
washy wabbly and weak
If the citizens have VERTEBRA
VIM AND VIGOR the town will be
substantial solid and strong
Lets all brace up and make this
town of ours a place of energy ambi
tion and enterprise

Hhvo you purchased the library books
which the law requires That is books
to the value of ten cents per pupil in
your district If not please buy them
without delay Ascertain from your

plastic minds and such a lesson learned
in childhood will later in a great mea
sure help to solve the social and indust
rial problems Encourage the boys and

we may well be proud
