Now Johnny was ambitious; to America he would go If his true loye Would join him 'in a month or so, Frances premised she'd surely be there without fail If Johnny had a letter for her in every mail. °So in March Johnny sailed off, 'cross the ocean so blue, His adventures were many, too • .long to tell you. He went to Racine, with the Hoi- i leys to be, j Five dollars in his pocket, but i happy was he, { He went to work for Case's, did j scroll sawing ct night Making tnings for that home he! wanted just right. Frances? Oh yes! Very busy tool was she, Getting ready to join her loved, one across the big sea. j Then one dav in September she j boarded a big ship. j With Mary, her twin, and her brother, Rudy, for companionship. . j What a reunion when these two lover^ did meet, I'm sure thP rejoicing was heard far down the street. On Oct. 19 in the year 1899, A wedding took place which whs to endure for all time. ------ Frances was such a lovely young! bride. . ! Proud was her Johnny as he stood 1 by her side. j For she was a princess In her! gown of pale blue, , Or.e to love and to cherish all the life through. Was Johnny nervous? How can . you ask that of me? You knoV he was calm, as calm someone started a flame. She grew up and a school teacfeer was she, Fell in love with a farmer and now teaches the cows their XYZ. John was third, what % rascal was he Took everything apart, be it toy car or a doll buggy. Now he's a lawyer in Washington, D. C., A fine one, too, as anyone can see. Helen came next, oh my! oh me! Remember the time she got hung to a tree? Now she is married with a fine family-- * Shirley, Patsy, Edith and Richard Lee. Violet was fifth, full of laughter and glee. For her broken bones her dad paid many a fee; What a time WAS had when she left the parakettes free, Wouldn't you know she'd marry and live in Miami? The sixth one was Charles, kinda quiet and bhy, - But for pretty girls he,, always had an eye. f v He was the studious one, at the head of his class. Now he's a business man and into politics making a pass. Harold soon followed, remember when he couldn't be found, We* thought he was dead? Behold, there he was fast asleep under tha bed! He was the inventive one, building things with his hands, Now runs a tinshop, one of the best in the land. Stanley, next in line, rent th« air with music and song. That sax and clarinet kept going all day long; But he grew up as boys will, you know, and now sells real estate to make his big dough. Richard was last, about time don't you think? Over his mischief his mother lost many a wink. ' 'r Bue he got busy with pencil and ink. Now he's a doctor and keeps ail In the pink. Yes. there were the good years, With much gladness and cheer There were also the hard ones and sometimes a tear; But each year kept adding a link of pure gold. For you know it was shaped in God's' all perfect mold. So today we are gathered to honon these two, To tell them how proud we lure of all they did do; - We want them to know We are so very glad That to us they are known as "Mother and Oad". May od bless them and always keep them from harm Give them strength and good health, a life full of charm. ALL-STAR CARD. OF WRESTLERS IN THE WAUKEGAN GYM SAT.
