=The Snow Brigade.=

By MARIAN LODER.

(A winter drill for a dozen boys--in overcoats, earcaps,
bright-colored mufflers, mittens, etc. Each carries a big
snow-shovel. The stage should be spread with sheets and loose
cotton to represent snow. Boys come marching in single file,
shovels over shoulder, singing to the tune, "_See the Farmer
in the Field_.")

I.

We are the jolly Snow Brigade,
With our trusty shovels we make a raid.
And lustily we'll give you aid
On a frosty winter's morning.

_Chorus_.--He! he! ha! ha! ha!
He! he! ha! ha! ha!
He! he! ha! ha! ha!
Ho! ho! ho!
