Twenty-two WH O? By Emil S. Brock. '34 fCourtesy, St. Louis Timesh A boy sat in his lonely chair. Before him, on paper his thoughts lay He bowed his head and wept in dread, And shivered at the curfew's tread. He raised his head and looked about, Caressing his papers with care devout: He was not a poet or boy gone mad: He was just a high-school freshman lad. 1' KWIFAI fig, QFD? psig WIHIIIIWWW bare It ':'1 I :W L ' I lwyylxl X 1. ,Ny ll V i I Ulmifi' Mill, l t'l'f itl it ml H tl J H1 i QM, Mimi sygy ' 'WH' L'I'WWH11l',, ' if I ',ULW1 wN M11'wN XVI 'him 1' wth' ld N- will :yu I LIE Nw J' ul' it it wt' lt at it 1 ll ll um tri ,ll ,l I 'iw ,lj in ' Nl ' ll ' ' l ilu, H J ,ll l.

'llllllllllll'lllllllllllllllDll WHY HURRY? By Cordula Knoerschild, '33 ERNICE and Mabel were sisters, at- tending the Washington High School. Their mother and father were away on a visit while the girls kept house. . One morning Bernice suddenly awoke to find the sun streaming through the windows. She quickly glanced at the innocent-looking clock on the dressing table. Those awful hands pointed to a quarter after eight. ln a moment Bernice was out of bed. Mabel, Mabel, wake up! she cried, shaking Mabel and trying to dress at the same time. ulrluh? What's the matter with you? asked Mabel, sleepily rubbing her eyes and looking around. Oh, dear. Do hurry. lt's quarter after eight and we shall be late for school. l told you you would forget to set the alarm, answered Bernice, in one breath. Hurry up. ln three minutes both girls were dressed. They dashed downstairs, grabbed their books, hats, and coats, and left the house. They were in such a hurry they didn't even eat breakfast. Mabel ran ahead of Bernice. 'iohl look, Bernice, there's our bus at the corner. Let's run, cried Mabel. Puff-puff-l am not-puff-going to run any more-puff-puff. l am-puff- all out of breath, said Bernice between gasps for air. She began to walk. Mabel had already reached the bus and stood irresolutely on the first step. I- Twenty-four l'm waiting for my sister, she managed to say. The four men who were seated in the bus laughed. One said, You picked out a mighty funny place to wait. Now it looks as if we'll have to wait with you. Yes, sir. It does, Mabel stammered, not knowing what else to say. When the men laughed again, the blood rushed to her face. just then Bernice ran around the cor- ner, panting and puffing. The sisters walked inside the bus and sat down. ln a moment Bernice gasped. The bus was turning around the corner instead of going down the street. We must be on the wrong bus, she said. Driver, what bus is this? Fairview-can't tha read? Mabel jumped up. Why-why we're on the wrong bus! We want the Lindell bus. Let me out! l-leyl Are you sure you know where you're going? l never saw such girls in my life, remarked the man who had teased Mabel before. The driver slowly opened the door, looking annoyed. l'm glad l ain't got you girls on this here bus often, he com- mented. But the girls did not hear. They were already across the street, climbing into the Lindell bus, which had just driven to the curb. Oh, dear! sighed Bernice as she sat down. lsn't this terrible? lt's all your fault, Mabel, for not having set the alarm.
