THE VIEWPOINT-l 935-36 this poem should be difficult, fOr to look at Reed is to think of poetry, - The birds sing gaily in the trees. Olive Gillaspie Then there's Oliveg one could say many things about her too. You see, This young vamp is very good at playing child's part in plays. Could she be in her second child-hood?? We won- der. Again the poet has an inspir- ation, but to no avail, she just can't organize her material. Here is what she jotted down. Flossie is very reserved, As quiet as can be, Her lonely life is we-ll deserved, She has no brains you see. Irene Henson My poor, dear dead brother Horatial, If only he 'Were alive -Aunt Lydia or Irene Henson, it makes no difference. She stole the play and Tiny too. Assistant editor on the P dz G, she's the most razzed girl in school. However she can take it and this makes her a very popular girl. She's a poet, but you wouldn't know it, Here goes again- Edward Keyser A sheik of finest type was he, Sporting a bow-tie with spats fketchupj And as fond of the girls, as he could be, And in return they liked him lots . V ernon Lunsford There is a freckled junior nam- ed Lunsford. Who liked a little girl named Badousek, He drives around in a model T Fordg And will this poem make him sick, Duard Henderson Here is another poet's de- light, but again words failed our scribe.

Perhaps we'd bet- ter stick to his personality at that. We won't mention his feet, their size, and strength. His nickname, Suitcase, is well fitted to those dainty ap- pendages. Hubert McMeen A very bashful boy is this young man, Just as shy as he can be, He hasn't got a car, So he oftens travels far, Walking, as you probably did see. Celeste Meyer She is a dark complected girl, Her favorite color is blue, She's never on time, I must make this thing rhyme, So she always says Nuts to you-H Harold Parker Harold was a noisy little lad He talked all day long He was disappointed and very sad When he couldn t sing a song.

Wilma Sherman She is known from coast to coast For her famous tapping feet, And for this she really does boast, And she says HI cannot be beat . Wanda Stahll A beautiful co-ed is Wanda, She came from the city of Tor- onto, She has a prominent nose, And dances on her toes, And often says I don't Wan- ta.

S QQ' POETIC DREAMS By Florence Hergert I guess there must be some- thing to the old saying In spring, a young manis fancy lightly turns Leonard Cornell Presldent to love and poetry. Trying to find a place where I could poke my nose into some one else's business, I strolled into 203. I noticed one of my classmates in a dreamy mood. Approaching, I found her writing poems and of all things, about the other classmates. Here are a few I chanced to see: John Badousek A mamma's boy is he, Wearing his bow-tie and spats, He hates all sports, When asked to work, he re- torts-- 5 'pp 0 FX ifford homus 'cretar y The favorite expression nah rats. Virginia Badouse-k They call her unhappy Virginia THE VIEWPOINT-1935-36 For her mug is sorrowful all day, No smile on her face To brighten up the place At this rate, her hair will turn gray. Jack Birlzett This young student's name was Jack, He was as unpopular as he could be With the girls-Well, he didn't rate, So he never, never had a date. why he didn't please, well, that's still a mystery! But Leona Brant She was a happy-go-lucky girl, She was never known to be blue, She loved to sing' and dance, And her heart was filled with I'Oll13.1'1Cf:, If this keeps on she will soon be saying, I do. Mrs. Thelma. Rider, Sponsor Sethyne Brant A shiftless, happy girl is she, Never getting her lessons at night, She always skips school, Goes to the old swimming pool, Unless the truant officer is in sight. Maurice Breunsbach Maurice always tries to grow, And gain another pound, I-Ie's very, very Tiny , But helps the school go round, Leonard Cornell The tallest man in our high school, And star of every sport, He never has a word to say, To those he might escort. Edna Eddy She never does what she is told . l 9 For she is never dependable, She cares for no one, Not even for fun, And to laugh-she is not able. Marjorie French A sober and tongue-tied miss was she, For she never uttered a word, To smile was as hard as it could be, And to laugh, she thought it ab- surd.

Reed Garrison I-Iere the poet paused, but why? Why didn't she tell about his deep and studious nature, about the times he went to the VVymore- game and ate ice- Dorothy Wea.: J Treasurer cream cones, or even about his record for attendance, because you'll always find Reed sneak- ing in the back exit of the Liberty, Strange that writ-
