Text

The New Year's number of a children's magazine, Stu-dent & Schoolmate, featured a musical piece entitled "The Holiday Song" in 1856.  The second stanza went as follows:

 Hark! we hear our schoolmates call,

 And we see the whizzing ball

From the bat stick flying;

Bat the ball,

One and all,

Great and small,

Keep the ball a flying.
