Subject: autograph album entires
I found these at http://www.lkwdpl.org/lore/lore175.htm
Interesting as a sign of the times and fun to share with your kids who are
doing end-of-the-year autograph albums.
Have fun,

"Whatever happened to autograph albums -- those small four-by-six-inch
leather-bound books of blank pages that we kids passed around at school?
Wanting to know was Carlyn Irwin, 93, who headed the Rationing Board in this
city during World War II.
Into her album, schoolmates scribbled corny sayings, sage thoughts,
expressions of affection, and miscellaneous nonsense".
These are some of them:
I hope when Cupid shoots his arrow, He "Mrs." you. I only ask one little spot, To write these words: Forget-me-not! May your path be strewn With roses, And your children have Pug noses. Your hair was made to crimp and curl, Your cheeks were made to blush -- Your eyes were made to vamp the boys, Your lips were made -- oh, hush! In your fireplace of memories, Consider me a brick. May your life be like a fried egg , sunnyside up. Life is like a deck of cards, When you're in love, it's hearts; When you're engaged, it's diamonds; When you're married, it's clubs; And when you're buried, it's spades. Forget the moon, forget the stars, Forget to flirt on trolley cars. Forget your husband's Socks to mend, But don't forget Your old school friend. My father's a butcher, My mother cuts meat, And I'm a little hot dog Runnin' round the street. I wish you wealth, I wish you plenty. I wish you a husband When you're twenty. Q.T.U.C.I.M.4.U. With Love May your life be like a piano -- Grand, upright and square. My friend I divide into classes two: Those I can do without, and you. May your cheeks retain their dimples, May your heart be just as gay, Till some manly voice shall whisper, "Dearest, will you name the day?" Life is one darn fool after Another. Love is two darn fools after Each other. Wishing our Carlie every success In the world, 'cause she wears Such a broad smile she has to go In the door sideways.
