SPRING RAIN l hear the rain, the lovely falling rain, As gently from the sky it hastens down, lt fills the air with splashy liquid bound And softly taps upon the window pane, There is no highway, road, or sleeping path, No flower or bush, or waving willow tall, No bird that loves to take a soothing bath, But is refreshed-to all new life doth call. O, is there benediction in this guise? Why vanish now our wintry frown and tear? The silvery rain descending from the skies Could not alone dispel our every fear And give us hope beyond our hours of pain- 'Tis clear enough: God speaks to us in rain. -Jackie Cline.

Soon aptly at my desk I was reclined, And on the board I saw an underlined Phrase, stating that term themes were due in May. At once my manner was no longer gay, For nothing on my subiecl could I find. Reluctantly, I changed my once made mind And chose another author right away. Now, some of the allotted weeks have passed. This reading time in reading has been spent. To novels, plays, my ettorts have I lent. I'm ready now to start this theme at last. I wonder, Theme, wilt thou by May be done Or shall I wilt before thou are begun? -Jean Vining. Page Fifty-one
