fV6lfLLlfL by MARY E. THIIMASON English IVa HE SIN was sinking in the west. and the birds were singing their evening song. as I entered the darkened woods on my way home. The wind was howling and rustling the leaves in a ghostly manner. All about me was the silence which prevails before a strange happening. With each step I took. I seemed to become more bewildered. The same old trees. leaves, and animals took forms of elves and dwarfs. beaming with mischief. The trees rocking back and forth seemed to say. Ho, ho. little one. youire lost! Beware! Beware! Then I knew that somehow. some way. I had en- tered the woods which were inhabited by strange and weird SKY PAINTER by MARJo1uE J. AMoN English Ya Pick up thy brush. oh painter, and paint the l.ovely sky, The sun is setting in the West and evening Time is nigh. l am the guide. you are the painter. pick up 'l'liy brush. I say. Paint little stars and lady moon: then paint The milky way. ALL THE THINGS I LOVE by HELEN MCFARLAND English VIIIC All the things I love are slowff Slow as a tall candle burning, Slow as a longed-for smile. I love snow that falls easily. quietly: Hain that takes slow steps across my face. l love slow fires burning with curls of blue flame leaping above red embers. I love music played softly. slowly as a violin behind palms. I love chimes that ring clearly. breaking their beautiful echoes upon my heart. I love leaves that fall reluctantly to the earth: The slow. separate ticks of a clock in a quiet room. All the things l love are slowf Slow as a tall candle burning. Slow as a summer rain. OF HORROR creatures, who groaned and moaned through the night, like a thousand monsters. Slowly and softly behind me, I heard the slow steps of something approaching me. I began running for dear life. I thought of the nice quiet of home with the open fire and the gaiety of the music and chatter with aching heart. Two bright red eyes of Satan himself appeared in the top of a tree glaring at me. Then I felt the hot breath ofa flying monster sweeping past my head. IVly only thought was to run. which I did. until in the distance I saw the lights of home and heard old Rover barking a greeting. Then I knew why many people had said to me. Wl1eii a person is in a dark woods by himself. he is often taken away by imagination into a complete and dilierent world of horror. MY FIRST TO0TH by CLARA EDITH SMITH English Ia As I remember it, I had my first tooth when I was six months old. Aunt Mary said. Isn't it sweet? Mother said, Isn't it remarkable! But Daddy said. Thats nice! Now maybe we can get some sleep nights. I said. CIob. and smiled. VACATION by GERARD B. BLUE English vi 'Twas only yesterday we spent The last long hour at school: Tonight we're camping in a tent On pine boughs sweet and cool. How far away the city seems! How still its noises are! How near through our tent-curtain gleams A white and friendly star! Its light is answered by a glow Cf embers on the shore. Whose warm red blaze an hour ago We sang and talked before. Close by. our brook. that runs along And tumbles in the lake, Is crooning such a dreamy song, It's hard to keep awake: And overhead a passing breeze Through branches dark and deep Is making music in the trees To lull us soon to sleep.

The record compiled by Coach Paul Myers' Green and White thinlyclads up to the time the CANNON went to press again proves that the cinder sport is one in which Tech holds sway over all the local schools and quite a few others. too. Opening the dual meet competition for the season. the Teclnnen journeyed to Bloomington April 5 for the season lid-lifter. and brought back a decisive 76-to-33 victory over the downstaters. Kokomos Wildcats were the next to fall before the Big Green. invading the Tech oval April 12 and being repulsed by a TUl,Q-to- count. Wiley of Terre Haute was the last dual meet opponent to face Coach Myers' team. and the Red Streaks were de- feated. 66 to 52. The Creenclads entered the annual city meet as odds- on favorites to win. and did win with 791.6 points. taking their seventh consecutive city title. In this meet two new records were made. both bv Techmen: one a new pole vault mark of 11 feet 714 inchesiby Vifallace Potter: the other. a new mile standard of 4137.1 established by William Yickrey. 18 Competing in the annual Southport Relays for the lirst time May 1. the Tech thinlies walked off with the meet. win- ning with 53154 points. Wlallace Potter set a new record for the vault of 11 feet 3 inches. and another Tech-broken mark was the low hurdle shuttle relay. lowered from 55.5 to 49.5 by Richard Barnhart. Alva Keith. George Trittipo. and James ffhlara. The cindermen traveled to Marion for the Conference meet May 3. There. under inclement weather conditions. they suffered their first defeat of the season when Anderson ousted them from the N.C.C. throne. topping the Techmen by 3 points with a 621,Q-point total. This marked the first time that either Tech or Kokomo did not win the loop crown. Qualifying 14 men and a mile relay team for the state meet. the Creenclads rolled up 66 points to run away with the sectional meet on the home track. May 10. for the seventh straight time. As the CANNON went to press. Coach Myers was drilling his strong state meet squad in preparation with the 1.1-1.S.A.A. carnival on the Tech cinders May 18. The Greenclads received a jolt to their state title hopes when a spike wound that Bob Knowles suffered in the Con- ference meet at Marion re-opened when Bob was taking the lead for Tech. running lead-off on the half-lnile relay team in the sectional. and the quartet failed to place. The half-mile combination had turned in some good times and had been expected to place in the state meet.
