THE MOUNTAIN WILLIAM BISSELL, '27 I see a mountain standing high, Outlined against the golden light Of summer's setting sun. The lower slopes are green with pines, The top is gleaming White with snow. Beauty from Heaven won! A FAIRY IJEIIII POLLY HARRIS, '27 There's a wonder world of magic In a fairy dell I know, Where the maiden hair is misted Thru the star flowers' purest snow, There the sunbeams frolic downward Thru a leafy, shimmered screen To the mossy velvet carpet That's brocaded gold and green. There's a brooklet's crystal laughter Thru its rushes green and tall, Velvet cat-tails nodding gaily Where the ripples rise and fall. There are bird trills thru the branches And bird rustles in the grass, And a sweet, flower-scented coolness Where the shy, blue violets mass. So if you're sad and weary With the weight of dusty things, And feel fiutteriugs within you As of caged and restless wings, Just cast the world behind you And seek a fairy dell Where the burning of your fever Will be cooled beneath its spell. You 'll stretch lazy in the lush grass With a brooklet gurgling by, And dream of summer coolness 'Neath an azure depth of sky. And your sadness will float from you At the touch of fairy things, When your heart 's song comes returning O11 the breath of fairy wings. GIRLHOOD LILLIAN STEVENS, '25 I am not yet awake. Just faintly Do I feel the wonder of the moon glint on the waves The marvel of the flower in lowly mold. I am not yet awake. As thru a mist-white veil Comes love of dew upon the meadow grass, Of hoary cloud upon the summer sky.

A FIIANDERS I'01'I'Y HARRIETTE HASTY, '28 As I was looking over some of my old treasures the other day, I came across a little Flanders poppy that l had bought from a little girl on Memorial Day two years ago. l had forgotten that those things were ever made, and, as I sat looking at it, I wondered-. It wasnit much,-just a bit of cloth and wire twisted into shape, but who had made it along with many others? Whorli had it helped to feed or clothe? For each little poppy you bought helped somebody away over in France. Perhaps it was a poor young widow who had lost her husband in the war and was wearing her fingers to the bone trying to feed and clothe her poor children. Maybe in her spare hours she had sat with the children far into the night making little poppies like this one and, even after the children had gone to bed, perhaps she had sat up long hours, twisting, cutting, almost mechanically, just for her children. Perhaps as she worked she had breathed a prayer for her husband who lay Somewhere in France. Maybe it was an old grandmother who had lost all her kin in the war and was living, forlorn and forgotten, i11 the ruins of her old home. Per- haps, after the war was over, she had sadly journeyed back to her old home in the hope of finding it still there. Perhaps as she sat on the doorstep twisting this little flower into shape she thot, as the tears ran down her cheeks, of what the little poppy she was making really stood for and of her sons who lay, with thousands of others, in Flanders fields. Maybe, as the tears ran down her cheeks one fell on this poppy and made this faded spot here, and perhaps she whispered as she wiped her tears away, It was all for France, and France, our beloved France, is saved l Perhaps it was a little orphan boy and girl who spe11t what should 'have been a play hour making this little poppy. Maybe as they worked they were thinking of their father,-wondering whether he lay in Flanders fields or some other forsaken spot in France. And their mother,-where was she? Was she dead, or was she looking for them yet? Maybe this little fiower was fashioned by a young French peasant who had been partially disabled in the war and was unable to support. his wife and children, brothers and sisters, in any other way. Who knows? Two years! They may never sell these little artificial poppies again. France is building up and life is brighter. But nothing can make amends for all the sorrow caused by the great warg nothing can ease the heartache of the thousands of people who sacrificed their loved ones, that we, the world, might be free. A little artificial poppy-blood red-Flanders Fields! TIIE INAUGURAL ADDRESS GENEVIEVE LYMAN, '27 Mr. Coolidge made a speech, 'Twas very dull and dry, VVe tried to listen patiently, But scarce forbore a sigh. We heard it thru the radio Which speaked and squawked and groaned, We couldn't hear a word he said, For all WE knew, he moaned. I heard the speech was very good, And know that that is so, But next time that he makes a speech, To Washington I'll go.
