THE CLIFTONIAN 27 CREATIVE EFFORTS BOOKS A pleasant nook An interesting book. ’ Adventures in strange lands With Robin Hood and his outlaw bands. Following Caesar in his great battle Visiting haunted houses and hearing chains rattle. Seeing ghosts all dressed in white That give you a terrible fright. You’ll read of the bravery of Horatius at the narrow bridge And how he kept the enemy from crossing the bridge. In any book you’ll find something new When the characters pass one by one in review. You’ll laugh at Penrod’s shows in the barn And wonder how the boys escape his experiments without harm. Shylock will make your hair stand on end While he sharpens his knife and vows he’ll not to mercy bend. You’ll hold your breath, when Scrooge is an unwilling host To a midnight visit from a Christmas ghost. You’ll sympathize with Rip Van Winkle when his wife nags Him for his laziness, while his family goes in rags. Many more interesting ones could I name But will let you read about them and their fame. RUTH F. GRIMSLEY, ’32 “Loose Ankles” — Rhetoricals. “Hideout” — Skippin’ school. WOODS IN SUMMER On a hot summer’s day I always feel like flying to the woods where the cool breezes blow through my hair and cool my scorched face. Oh, for the cool solitude of the green woods, when the humid air of the town makes one sick, and the pavements burn one’s feet. I love to walk on the springy, green turf on such a day, and go splashing bare foot in some gurgling, laughing stream that sparkles and glistens like so many diamonds in the sun. Did you ever follow the course oif a winding miniature river like this? Did you ever walk beneath the leafy boughs and feel glad to be alive and wonder at the beauty God created? It makes you feel so free and happy that you shout until the woods echo and reecho with the gladsome ring. You run wild, glad, glad to be away from the stuffy rooms, the sweating, jostling crowds. You can hear the trees gossip together when the winds set their boughs to moving. Listen, is that music you hear? Yes, I am sure it is. Do you suppose it is that mischievious Pan playing a trick on you? Look sharply, perhaps some nymphs and dryads will come creeping from their hiding places and dance on the emerald glades. You watch the birds dart in and out among the trees and envy them their freedom. No cares, no worries for these little creatures all dressed up in their bright colors. You then look at your watch. The time has passed all too quickly. You must return to civilization again. But you thank God that there is such a place to come on a hot summer’s day. DORIS MCCORMACK Mr. Williams—“Can you prove that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two sides of this triangle?” Ed—“I don’t have to prove it. I admit it.” “Happy Days” — Vacation.
