Between George Keys' bookends by Virginia Stanard Forbes Maner and Charlotte Revercomb Stephenson Oresman papers, 1942.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/692334870

The collection consists of a book of verse entitled "Between George Keys' Book Ends" that Virginia Stanard Forbes Maner and Charlotte Revercomb Stephenson Oresman created in July 1942, a small notecard announcing the completion of the book, and a mock list of critics' reviews. The cardboard-bound book consists of 20 typed verses, each accompanied by hand-drawn and colored illustrations. Each five-line verse is a limerick that addresses the book's first line: "What ever became of the platoon?" "The platoon" refers to Maner and Oresman's group of friends and acquaintances at the University of North Carolina, including professors, landlords, and classmates. While at UNC, Maner and Oresman were still known by their maiden names, Forbes and Stephenson, and they scrambled their first, middle, and last names to create author and publisher aliases.
