l 4 FLOOD CITY One day while sitting beneath a tree, I thought of the Hood that had to be When Water came rumbling and roaring down On our dear city of Johnstown. Your fathers have told of that dreadful day When buildings and people were swept away, But a city arose above the span, And a happy home was built for man. -Ruth Resley. SLEEPING JOHNSTOQWN The stars are blinking, nodding, Myriads surround the golden moon, Which all too soon is hidden by a dark cloud, But as a rivelet, obstinate to the many obstacles in its path, lt appears again, more mellow and more proud, To brighten once more the globe of civilization, Perhaps, wishing we might be a more peaceful nation. But now, bordering the dimly outlined horizon, An earthly light appears, a ruddy light, darting and dancing, A man-made light from the unceasing flow of steel. Men of every nation toil To transform that molten steel Into something beneficial to humanity. This man-made light lasts brieliy As in the pocket of a thin, hungry waif, an only dime. Again the heaven appears in natural splendor When the blinking stars and mellow moon Rain their gold on sleeping Johnstown. -Elda Wolf. -.p.::,-3-,1gw 4r-s.gf:-fj xi: -v--r.x+cL.q' 4-.ff 5 Jef : Ano: P'-'5'?fv'J'J'?f':--,R on-SNL f1'.'94-:iff 3-' Q ol 2-'rG'tCaL'1-1vs,r9w:1-vvrsf-1--R:-'-r ' ' ' 'hiik , .' gawnwn '. , , , TOR - 1935-

nf-- 4. THE HOME ON THE HILL A weary, winding thread Is weaving up the hillg In solemn peace, the dead Sleep on, their voices still. And through the ancient arch, Around the sinuous curves, On past the ivied church, The dark procession swerves. The lillies sadly droop, The grasses gleam with dew, A bird's complaining note, A granite world in view. There lies the Unknown Plot, Unending seems each row, No more the flood tides, wrath, Forgotten all their woe. -Halcolm Bard. MIDNIGHT THOUGHTS ON TI-IE INCLINE It was dreary in the town, But as I ascended the mountain, The gray mist took on the semblance Of the white drapery or dreams covering the sleeping children In the heaven. Cod had remembered The infant angels, and for fear one might awake, He hung out the stars For light. -Alice Davis. i I1 ' LP : , if -xiii-'-4 45-1 - 7 -'wa -2',--Q-ron-L-ug an-5.n - 3 x,,,c-'u,y,saa43-,34ai. :.xr,..a-Vai., ' THE SPECTA

YOUNG JOHNSTOW N DREAMS When sometimes venerated people say That though to aid the young is their due right, They feel that oft of dreams we let the light Suffice and undertake no useful way To show the world of our intent to play In life the role of purity despite All evils which conspire to turn our might From holy things to those of sensual clay, Thus would we answer the destructive doubt. ln youth we do prepare an ideal plan Of labor for some noble goal. Now We Do dream, but later for the world about, Therels time to aid our toiling fellow-man. Youth must dream dreams or aimless sail life's sea. -Ruth Cook. .. , ,gpg-N-, ,. .V .- f- l,, E'--.,f vf 1- J ' .-A ,r-' , i ' 4, Q,-' ja P1-51...'Q 1 .-A A fe- R415 rLf1'1'.t -' H - f .- r., -H X Q-' . iv 1, -mg , :I .I 5 z , , V . -, if?-H-15, .1 ,.i, 1 3 'f Q., , , 2: ' ,,:- , 5,31- r 3- rc r 'X ia --n-.44 A .: ruvsaeama-8421515115-'iIf+fr?:!fe4's1t' 4-bf' i-17: :i-ae: ?95 9:42-R'UhL0r'N'S':'t!!-54Jl!v! 4., 0' VH .is ' T H E S P E C T A Y 1 2 I A X xi. 4' I , ' , 1 Q f :'s,'- ' Wa f Q , , lf?
