As though some danger may befall us here, And you are praying ardently for fear That Nature does not know her coming foe, The birds are quiet with their heads so low, Flower heads bent as if to shed a tear, Thinking of those that they do hold most dear When heavenly sun refuses to glow. One look up into yon dark heaven's eyes, And lo! veiled monster is the story, Everything remains in a solemness, No bit of Nature stirs 'to send up sighs For after the storm we see the glory, And we, all should bear it with a calmness. 7 Glcxilzviici' 6lIl'llHlllllif3 S6lIf4DllRlIMll A solemn stillness now pervades all things Before the storm which comes to tear asunder Glorious works of God and man, and brings Destruction in its wake. Then in plunder Thor, the mighty god of thunder, strikes with Fury the cowering, powerless world, Roaring and moving as he does in myth To watch the massive missiles he has hurled. Oh! now it seems he has his anger spent, And slowly goes on to another field. 0, Destroyerg What ruin have you wrought! We see the trees and blossoms. Some are rent, But raindrops shine on all and seem to shield Them from the devastation which Thor brought IROIJNEII EVA Lnslfzm, QIZII II Il II II II II Il I 1930 Z0 Page 72

fZ:1'IEII IEII IEII IIIII I BELT BUCKLE Ii SUITIEIEHEBSS llllltill iIl5lIllIEllE9 Life is as much a game as baseball or football and to win or be successful one must play fair. Life is made up of many little things along with the big things. Playing fair in the little things will lead to success in the big ones. The cup or medal is not the real prize. The real prize is the satisfaction ob- tained from achievement. Wealth is not the real prize of life, it is only a trophy and, in most cases, there is very little or no lasting satisfaction derived f1'0111 it. YVealth often changes one's understanding of the small things in life. XVealth is not the bridge to happiness nor the proof of success. To win the game must be played. The fellow who wins the game is the one who can be depended upon at any and at all times to play the game. Life is an important game and it must be taken hold of with a purpose. Success de- mands a man to apply himself a11d use perseverance. To be successful one does not have to be a genius. Another fundamental of success is initiative. Initiative means doing what should be done without having to be told to do it. This should be practiced early in life. The thing that counts is the thing that lasts. Playing the game fair with perseverance and initiative lasts. The lasting satisfaction in life is the success obtained from fair play.

QLZIIJI IIJI IEII IIIII I BELT BUCKLE 1 1 1930 I 6lIIfllHIliIlB fIDfl3lIEQAlINII 0, Mighty Ocean! what secrets dost tl1ou hold? YVhat dangers are there lurking in thy fold? Little do we know. g Dost remember when there were no ships to play Ifpon thy peaceful waters, which lay In unperturbed silence? Then great warriors with sword and lance Ventured across thy great expanse To conquer worlds unknown. But still they continued unabashed To wreck thy peace, though lashed As they were by thy fury. Thou hast seen great battles fought- Merchant ships by robbers sought, For reasons perhaps unknown to thee. 0 Sea! thou too hast some harm doneg Hy thy angry waves an end has come To many humans. Yet we love thee, O Sea! For thy beauty And thy ever changing moods. Eva l.nsnI.L CiiIl'lIliIllIE5 dIflIRllE5lIE9 The tree, its leaves are falling thick and fast. A riot of color in red and brown and goldg God's tree, its bark already gray and old, Its coins of beauty downward now are cast, YVith the coming of winter's fearful, mighty bla To be taken into Nature's encircling fold, To protect Her tiny seedlings from the cold, Vntil the days of freezing gales are past. But soon again these branches now so bare Will shoot their tiny buds so tender and young, Flaunting wide their beauteous frocks of green. The tree, a symbol of unfailing faith so rare, Its praises toward the sky are ever sung, God's tree, such glory ne'er before was seen. st, M.xi:Jorcm M. SH.x1u:.xnD II II II II II Il II IE v Page 73
