 rctclr Eternal Hills Our days have been as a lovely rose. With petals hissed by dew, For each flower unfolding richer grows. Ah, the beauty lingers, the sadness goes. And the earth is glad and new. Xow each old loved scene will fade away. As the sunset leaves the sky— But the memory dream, will always stay. When we whisper low Goodbye.” Dear childhood days that will never fade— The days of work and fun— We climb without halting, climb without rest. Lifting better always up to best, And then when day is done. We follow eternal hills of blue. We leave each dear beloved face. Our gold and lavender leads us true. And, Alma Mater, ever for you Our hearts 7cill guard a place. Stars are gleaming in evening sky. Deep purple shadows fall Above the silver lake; on high. Low call of the loan and breeze's sigh. And dark trees, straight and tall! A light breath of perfume fills the air. Sweet incense from the moon. And all things are love and joy so fair; Our hearts are filled with a fervent prayer. This lovely night in June. Alice Hooke, ’28. - 14 )8—

Hill's never in a hurry, never, never worries—but he’s not collegiate, even though he is considered rather modern. Who’d ever think Rill was a poet? He is a good one, at that. Hid you ever hear Rill argue? lie is quite a backer of Bernard Shaw. You should hear that boy argue for his friend. When Rill’s not writing or arguing, he is usually running errands for tin Oracle or doing something for the Commercial Club. You know. Rill is president of this lively Commercial Club. With his convincing ways. Rill will become President of the Cnited States or something. There is no wisdom likd frankness.
