Senior Poems The Last Reguest Thy days are almost numbered, friend, Of time there is no more, Thy feet pursued the weary trend, Come out ------ and look the door! Look not behind you, O my friend, But forward, I implore, Thy things forgotten I will send, But come ------ and lock the door! Thy destiny thou'st met, my friend, Thou hestenest to the fore. Thine upward path again to wend, But didst thou look the door? What saidest thou just then, my friend? The clouds above do soar, Thou askest me something?--O to lend, The Key to lock the door. Thou maK'st request of me, my friend? Of me thou dost implore? That I may not forget to send The key to lock the door. For when thou leavest school, my friend, When all thy tests are o'er, Thou must remember at the end-- Go out!-- and lock the door! Forsythia The forsythia, a lovely flower Peeks out from its golden bower, This is its triumphant hour, Its hey-day. As in their nests the birds do settle, In my hand their drops a petal Fashioned from some golden metal Of the May. 27 U Margaret Hunter I. Alexander

The Apple I saw a little apple, Up in an apple tree. I called to Mr. Wind and said WPlease shake it down to me.n The wind came by and shook it. It tumbled to the ground. I picked it up and held it. It looked so nice and round. The Fairy Snow Man Elizabeth Mckay Little flakes of snow are falling silently all night, And from our little window there is nothing left in sight. I guess the fairy snow-man must have come to-night, To drop a little snow-ball everywhere in sight. Spring is coming very fast, And Mother Nature now has cas A spell of beauty all around, t And flowers are peeping from the ground. 433 el! fb A k ' 4 Joan Davidson Jean Penhale U W.

Clubs Senior Club It doesn't seem possible that this year is almost over, but we can honestly say that it has been an enjoyable one. The 1939 Senior Club was composed of a jolly group of girls who entered wholly into the meetings, tried their best to fulfil the duties their high position demands and certainly enjoyed to the full their privileges. Our officers for the year were extremely efficient and during the first term Jeannette Lapan was president, Frances Reiner, vice-presiden and Wilma Samlalsingh, secretary. The presidency of the second term was filled by Frances Reiner, the vice-president was Margery Darby, and Wilma remained secretary. To the Senior Club of 1940 we wish to extend our best wishes and we Know that you, as Alma students will put yourselves whole-heartedly into the activities of the year. Jean Lounsbury. S. C.
