Delight, who harked attentive, laughed and cheered,
So they ofttimes with progress interfered.
A dozen tiny tots their “pieces” spoke;
Five dialogs were played with rafts of fun;
Two damsels readings gave that nearly broke
The backs of all, the laughter spared no one.
Deer Creek and Pleasant Ridge schools blithely sang
Four songs; they were cheered back till building rang.
An overgrown lad, quite a bit dismayed,
“Sockery and the Speckled Hen” declaimed.
