•UNDAY, JULY 2, 1916 ♦ GOOB-BYE SWEETHEART * (June, 1916.) Bick with your shields, 0 khaki lads 0 laddies urave and true; You’ll find the "girls you left behind” Still waiting there for you. Upon the far-flung cactus plain The Stars and Stripes unbind, And let the Eagle of the North Scream down the Mexic wind. ■Wake up the echoes of the south With “Georgia’s fair naipe;” She puts into your strong. young hands j The record of her fame? I And sends you forth to keep un dimmed | Amid the clouds of war Her symbol on your banner bright— Her white and steadfast staA We’ll watch for you beside the trails, Where Glory keeps her score; O khaki lads, our hearts would break If you came back no more! Would break except we’d know the few Left ’neath the Aztec skies Had shown the whole, wide martial woi Id The way a hero dies. But you’ll come back, O khaki lads. And bring your shining shields, And tell the girls how ’twas you fought i And won on glory’s fields! —Sarah Beaumont Kennedy. ♦ » * PROM PARTY IN HONOR OF MISS GREN.
