The whole world's been ringing lately With praise of what Lindbergh has doneg But I'd like the fact brought to notice, That he's not the only brave one. He dared face the mists of the ocean, But I don't think that was so great, Imagine the perils so fearful we dare, Each day at three'thirty and eight. For those are the hours when We are on hand, Our trustworthy pilot and bus. The flight that we make every day to H. A., It surely plays havoc with us. With our hearts beating fast but our hopes beating high, We enter the little machine, With a leap and a bound it glides clear off the ground, And begins right away to careen. Our ears have been trained to catch each slightest sound, We listen for rattle or clinkg Ah ha, the machinery's all right today, We'll arrive there in safety, we think. So we settle back snugly and hold on so tight, To prevent being dashed to the ground, For that little machine is most careful to take Every rise in the road that is found! We never use four wheels at one time at all, We sway to the left and the right, And we all feel relieved when our dear old H. A., With its lofty red dome, comes in sight. We alight from the bus with a dignified CPD air, With hair tossed and hats all awry, And say with a gay smile, The ride was so nice, When we really feel ready to cry. Yet, strange it may seem fbut I said we were bravej, Threefthirty we're all gathered there To embark on the perilous flight once again, And the dangerous journey to dare. So cheer, if you wish, that brave hero called 'LWe, And praise him and fete him and fuss, But we'd rather praise our brave pilot and plane, So here are three cheers just for L'Us. -GRACE M. C 71 HRIST, '28

She hastens to the new duties that await her, happy that she had listened to the advice given her. all all Sk Marie woke up with a start. Had she fallen asleep? Was this really a dream? A knock sounded, and her roommate entered with a cheery smile and greeting. Wake up. Don't you know this is Commencement Day? What are you dayfdream- ing about? Marie nodded, but did not reveal her thoughts. While she was getting ready she recalled her Hrst dream, and one sentence kept running through her mind, No glory is worth that price. Her choice was made, her career was settled. ZALICE M. DBCKER, '28 Dreams Dreams and fancies idle seem To those who have some aim, They're not content to sit and dream While others rise to fame. Yet, if there were no dreamers, How dreary life would seem! For those who make life pleasant, Are often those who dream. They show us what life ought to be, They give us an ideal, For ofttimes most unpleasant are The happenings that are real. And dreams will not hurt anyone, They spur one on to fight, So let's work our best in daytime, And dream awhile at night. -GRACE M. CHRIST, '28 70

Alter of Toledo, Ohio, for the best essay on The Current of Sympathy with the Criminal, has been won by Miss Helen Oliva, '28, Miss Eleanor Hennessy, '28, received Honorary Mention. This year, as for some years past, Christopher R. Stapleton, Ph.D.,of Fordham Univerf sity and New Utrecht High School, acted as Judge of these Essays. We appreciate most sin' cerely the honor which Dr. Stapleton does us in consenting to act as Judge in our Contest , year after year, and we take this occasion to thank him and to assure him of our grateful appreciation. Miss Grace Christ, '28, was chosen to represent us in the Cratorical Contest on the Constitution. At the Semifinals, held at the Englewood High School on April 20th, Miss Christ was one of the three chosen to compete in the Finals. The latter will be held in Rutherford on the evening of May 4th, but as our copy goes to press before that date, we are unable to publish the result. However, we feel that our speaker will do credit to her Alma Mater. As the winner in our own school, Miss Christ was presented with a beautif ful bronze medal by the New 'York Times, the Contest having been sponsored by that paper. The Lincoln Essay Medal, offered again this year by the Lincoln Memorial Association of Springfield, Ill., has been adjudged to Miss Helene Kleiser. 72
