Una tarde, despues que habia terminado todo el trabajo, me acoste sobre un canape enfrente del hogar para leer. El libro que estaba leyendo no era muy interesante, y al Hn me dorrnif Soni de un sueno muy extrano y agradable. Me vi delante de la escuela superior presente de Bret Harte. Tuve un gran choque cuando uno de mis condiscipulos me dijo que estaban comen- zando a edificar un edificio nuevo. Entonces me parecia que muchos anos habian pasado. Volvi otra vez para visitra la escuela superior de Bret Harte. Pero en vez de hallar el edificio Viejo halle un ediflcio esplendido de cemento que estaba cercado con prado en todos los lados. El edifncio era de un piso y era muy grande. Cuando empezaba caminar por la puerta. me desparte y descrubi que todo era un sueno. JENNIE FOLLETTI. LA CAMPANA SILENCIOSA En memoria de nuestra campana, que fue robado por algunos much- achos maliciosos, y arrojado en una hendidura remota, donde yace rota y silenciosa. Nuestra campana vieja es silenciosa ahora, Y enmudecido su lengua de hierro Pero el espiritu que despertaba Siempre Vive, eternamente joven Y mientras que valnos a la escuela Nuestras memorias moriran continuamente Sobre los dias partieron ahora Y la musica de nuestra campana.

I replied that I was and very badly. She started to run for the ambulance but I yelled out after her that it was only my feelings. I went up to a shooting gallery and won a package of cigarettes, and offered one to a young woman that stood along side and she almost had me thrown in the pen, for it seems as if she didn't want to have any temptation ever put before her eyes. I thought this very unusual at the time and I wondered why she wasn't with the circus too. I guess I would have gone to the jail if it hadn't been for Anna B., the attendant of the gallery, who re- cognized me and saved me six months by telling the police that I was gifted with generosity and nothing worse. QDid you ever hear of Jew Blood and generosity going together Pj Another side show was the tallest and the smallest women in the world. Hilda C., saw me coming over the auto show tent, while Irene G., never saw me until a baby buggy was removed from in front of her. I then became the victim of a sweet voiced woman who was Ida W., and who sold hot dogs on a commission and sang out, I-Iot Dogs! Fresh from the Pawnd! These barking dogs gnawed on my internals and kept me awake all night. In the morning a doctor was called and he said that my case was incurable, and that I was sure to die a dog's death. I intended to die right then and there if it hadn't been for Nick V., who had taken up a mail study course in Coueism and who saved my life. So ends my account of a most interesting day's saunter in the course of which I met all of my class pals of dear old Bret Harte when I attended there in 1924-25.

R., '27, HILIUANA 'lI'lHllE SIEA GODIDIESSN Dreaming under the tropic sun in the mid waters of the Pacific, an island lies remote from the well known passages of sea-going liners. The sun was just dipping into a sea of gold when we drifted suddenly around a cliff jutting out into the waters and found this dream Paradise of the sea. We landed on the island and were treated very hospitably by the friend- ly natives. After feasting that eve. a huge tire was built and around it's Ham- ing glow strange tales were told by the natives. Among them was one, which I quote below which was very quaint, hav- ing been handed down for generations. Many many years ago a fisherman dwelt in a tiny hut by this tropic isle. He fashioned nets thereby earning his daily bread. Before his hut in the cool of the evening watching the moon rise big and shiny, sending waves of light rippling to his feet. he often sat dreaming his dreams and smoking his pipe. 'Twas thus one evening watching the sea, he saw rise from the cliffs be- yond. a beautiful maiden with golden hair that rippled to her waist like the waves from which she came. He watched breathlessly while she played and danced about the cliffs. Then she was gone. The next night she came again so he ventured near her. but as before she disappeared into the sea. He told the natives about her and they planned to catch her. this beauti- ful golden goddess of the sea. They weaved a huge net that when the moon shone full, they hid behind the cliff, and when she came, they slipped up and closed the net about the maiden. There under the tropic moon they made her the lishernianis wife. There she lived for many years bringing happiness to the once lonely fisherman when came time in the full of the moon. when she grew pale and thin with ,-
