We have some business and we have laughter And a little gossip, sometimes comes after But when that’s over, we have a program And always end up have a delish lunch.

So you see the Institute is a pretty good neighbour It treats the sick, helps the children too

And if we were told, to do without it

What would all these poor ladies do?

Be strong ! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. WHY HE RESIGNED

In a small New England town, the janitor of the schoolhouse, much to the surprise of his friends, resigned his office. When he was asked why he did so, he replied: “I’m honest and mean to be above suspicion. If I find anything when sweepin’ the school I allus return it. A few days ago I read on the blackboard, ‘Find the great divisor’. Well I looked all over for it but I wouldn’t know the blame thing if I bumped into it. Last nite, in big writin’ on the board, it said — ‘Find the least common multiple’, so I says to myself. ‘Both these things are lost now, and I’ll be accused of taken em’, so I just up and left”.

POEM

May I each new day

Grasp with hope,

With each new problem

Deftly cope,

Each sorrow View

Then let be gone,

Each joy caress , Then pass it on. (Helen Penner.)
