24 SPiECTATOR g the outgoing classes held in their respective schools. Here and there we met exceptionally fine bits of work, such as the editorials in the Crimson and Gold, the literary department in the Orange and Black, the cuts in the Thistle, and the poetry in the Green Witch. It would give us great pleasure to quote extensively from each of our exchan.ges, but we shall have to content ourselves with one or two passages. The following lines are taken from To a Snowbird, found in the Mountain Echo. Flitting from bough to bough you go, Winging and singing the whole day long, What is your message, bird of the snow? Why do you fill the air with song? Whate'er your errand here, I still Would fain believe, 'though some deny, You are an instrument of I-lis will, As singing from bough to bough you fly. These cheerful lines from the Green Witch may help us at a time when the world looks all wrong: When you're feeling mighty blue, as misfortune comes to you, You will stand a better show, if you don't let others know. When your studies all go wrong, just keep plodding right along. The sun is sure to shine againg cheerfulness is not in vain. Better times are coming after whileg And you look a great deal better when you smile. Speaking of humor, our far-away Hawaiian friends, must be just as fond of ruthless rimesu as we are, for the following jingle is an extract from their paper, The Pinionn: W-lqhey met on the bridge at midnightg They never will meet again. For one was an Ewa-bound heifer, The other, a Honolulu train.
