! S IIEN IIIGDIIR IIPQID Slll IIPLD 5 III THE SNOWMAN Once made and placed by careful hands, Out on the snow-covered lawn he stands, And as the sun shines day by day He becomes smaller and smaller and melts away. So it is with us people who may, As We know, have only a limited stay, We should be cheery and smile at our foes, And make the best of all that comes and goes. -Edward Findlay IMPRESSIONS OF A CONCERT AS SEEN FROM THE BALCONY The orchestra quickens and moves, The colossal audience lulls Like a flock of murmuring doves. A whispering of strings, It begins! First the overture starts As the curtain quivers and parts On the dwarfed figure of a man, As he stands, Violin in hand, Ready to voyage to the land Of the most perfect of beauty. The house is tense, The quiet dense, When, lo! Pouring out and up From above and below Come the notes, like drops of April rain, The silvery chords echo, are gone-to return again, And We hear the wind complain In the pineg The bird on the vine Pours forth his song soft and flutey. The instrument sobs and croons And howls, like the dog at the moon. The Artist swaysg His bow bends and frays As higher and higher the swell Of tone, like the song of a bell Pours forth in the darkened room To be lost in the gloom. 'Tis the end. Then a pause- A burst of applause- A tribute to the master of beauty. -Mary Ann Duke l 14 l

1 SIIENIIDIIR IIPIDSIII ll'LD ill NNW MY GARDEN My garden gives me greatest joy. Most people think me silly To slave to make the flowers bloom And love the Tiger Lily. My garden cups a wee fish pond. Around it twine marsh marigoldsg Like saffron stars they shine and seem Such happiness to hold. The musky-scented mallow stands Against the fence in deepest shadeg And patches of forget-me-nots Whose memory will never fade. My garden's just a common place. No rarest plants are there. But it is mineg I helped it grow - In strength and beauty through my care. -Corinne Gingery THE OLD CIRCUS GROUNDS lContinued from page 9.1 For some unknown reason, they wend their way to the biology room. They marvel at the snakes and frogs, the bugs and butterflies. But the little girl is especially fascinated by a reptile coiling his shining scales.- Suddenly a bell rings, and the students rush pell mell down seemingly unending stairs to the cafeteria. There they pounce on plates, and grab silver- ware. When they reach their tables, they ravenously devour the lunch, in much the same way that the lions consume their daily portion of raw meat. Before the lunch room is vacant again, some of the knives have disappeared. One of the sword-swallower's grandchildren is in the crowd. Another bell rings and the little girl goes to the physiology room. Charts of skeletons are hanging on the walls. After she has thoroughly examined the bones, she de- parts for the gymnasium. Acrobatically-inclined youngsters are jumping over horses and bucks, instead of the bucking broncos their parents were accus- tomed to ride. Others are playing basketball, while the assembly roots for them. After the game is finished, rings are let down, and the skilled gymnasts perform. Thus the seer spoke. Did she prophesy truly? -Eunice Vestal l13l.

I S IIENIINDIIR IIPGD Slll IlI'D 5 III CAUGHT IN THE ACT Just as the hands of the hall clock stood at the hour of midnight, a key turned silently in the lock, and a heavy door was slowly pushed open. Into the dark of the hall slipped a man. With quick, noisless, steps he passed through the darkened rooms until he came to one farthest to the rear. En- tering, he firmly but quietly closed the door behind him. He groped over the walls for a button, and finding it, snapped on the lights. After a hurried glance around the room, he pulled the blinds, and cross- ing swiftly to the far side of the room, swung open the massive door of a cabinet standing against the wall. Into its interior he thrust a hand. An ex- pression of disappointment crossed his countanence. At that moment a dull thud broke the silence as if some heavy body had fallen to the floor. As he slowly withdrew his hand, he discovered that his fingers were stain- ed with red. Shifting his glance from his hand to the floor of the cabinet, his startled eyes beheld the source of the red stain. A silent form lay there. A slowly increasing pool of red gathered about it. The man strove to turn his eyes from the sight. Suddenly he jumped up from his crouching position in front of the cabinet, as a woman arrayed in white entered the room. Slowly the woman spoke, John, what are you doing in the refrigera- tor at this time of night, and how in the world did that bottle of catsup get upset? 4 f X - 5 F 7,9 if 4 j p --Shirrell Richey , i,wLl1HQULfQ, 1 l,,, , r LO T5 He rushed madly back and forth cross th room, pulling first this drawer out and then that one, throwing ents to the floor. Where could it be? He wrung his hands nervously, perspiraton covered his face. He looked wildy under the table and then turned despairingly away. How could he be so careless! He knew that he would be held responsible. He sank down into a chair only to spring up the next moment with a smile on his face. Ha! He would fool them, at last he remembered. Hurriedly he dashed into the next room and looked on a shelf. There it was! He seized the elusive brush and began brushing the small particles of steel wool which had clung to his R. O. T. C. belt when he had been polishing the metal on it. l15l
