IX THE LOCKICR ROOM REBECCA BEAN, 1941 Who's the new girl? Come on over tonight. Who's got a comb? llfly hair looks a sight. ' A babble of voices, a broken shoe string, A derisive voice shouting, Who thinks he can sing? A sarcastic reply, an infectious laugh. Who stepped on my paper and tore it in half? J1Iy combination won't work! Darn it! there goes the bell! I,ll be late for my class-the teacher will yell. ' A bell shrills somewhere, The girls answer its call. Their voices are heard echoing in the hall. The locker room's silent-for a moment or two, Then more voices are heard-and it all starts ODE TO LOVE: HIZENZU. WITH APOLOGIES TO DOROTHY PARKER JANET CADE, 1940 To you, my sweet, I give my love, Though roughly bruised it be, For in the past I've shown my love, So the whole wide world could see. To you, my sweet, I give my love, It's something I can't help, For if I could I wouldrft take So much from you, you whelp. STRENGTH DIARY NIALONEY, 1941 We say strength and think of man- 11Ian is not strong.' .1Ian, compared with mountains, is weak. .1I0lHlllIlIl.1' hold their ground And do not harbor a thought of retreat. .Uounlazrzs need not protection from wintry Mountains need no comfort, no encouragement. blasts. When you say strength think tml of man- Iiut of mountains. THRIFT CHARLOTTE GIBNEY, 1941 When it comes to money, Daddy is very funny. THE CITY YVALTER LILLEY, 1940 As I watch from my penthouse window, Down upon the fog-clad buildings, Standing stately, yet like jagged black pillars, Standing in a silent dense profusion, The apartment house windows look like cats' eyes Shining through the ocean of fog! And the blaring tugs, echoing From one stately pillar to another, Is like the cry of a hawk in the morning, Echoing through the stately pines. And the dim gray smoke belching from the factories' stacks Mingles with the fog in a mixture of darkness and mystery. Yet as I watch this silent monster sleeping so restfully, Covered with his blanket of fog and smoke, The first dim rays of morning, jet out like church spires in a small town, And his blanket becomes restless as it moves out to sea, Taking with it the grim, dark mystery of a city at night. THE POND - A CONTRAST HENRI DE V1uEs POTE, 1940 The pond in summer Placid lies Beneath the Waving trees. Iiright birds in Leafy branches sing Of journeys in The fall and springg Of winters in The southern lands- Their summers northward. Dragonjiies dart On lucent wingsf The love song of The green-frog rings, And all is happy. 1 I' 9 The pond in cefrzter' Silent lies Beneath the Ice and snow. The naked trees Around it seem, With branches bare That try to lean Against the sky For vain support, To be debating Whether the pond Is there or no- Down beneath the Ice and snow Completely hidden.
