MARJORIE WEBB ’32 Several weeks ago, Miss LeGrand told the English IV class to get a copy of Carlyle’s essay on “Burns”. Albert Bosshart is said to have remarked, “We’re not going to be doctors, are we?” Stranger—Will you give ten cents to help “The Old Ladies’ Home”? Elwyn—What! Are they out again? In the Underworld Enter Shadows flicker A moan A cry In the eerie darkness Grey gnomes hurry off. • Therein A flash A sparkle A blaze On mounds of shining jewels We bend astounded gaze. A howl A shriek A laugh The shining mound is swept away As would be swept the chaff. Exodus A gasp A rush A scream Where are they, where indeed Answer—naught but a fire-fly gleam. DORIS CASE ’29. The Seasons It comes on us creeping, creeping Chill wind, its helper, is chilling, sweeping And thus comes Old Man Winter. April’s tears have now o’er spilt; Oh, hear the Robin’s clear, high lilt. This is the time when nests are built— Lovely Spring. It comes! I hear the “peepers” singing, While high in the sky, the June sun shines; This is the lovely mating-time— Summer. Oh, see the brilliant colors painted; Like a beautiful picture tinted. Oh the golden harvest time! Autumn. VERNA STUBBS ’32 They tell me that Claude Goodman oiled his hair and everything slipped his mind.

He was hastily pulling several large volumes from a shelf. We asked “Watcha doin’, Ed?” Whereupon, he replied, “Looking for Miss LeGrand!” Did you hear about Dot Walter’s mistake, when she was in Washington? Well, they tell me that she walked into an art museum and, stopping in front of a mirror, exclaimed, “It must be a Rembrandt.” Miss Frantz — What was George Eliot’s chief literary fault?
