See the dried-up yellow leaves Are the ones that grew too old. Look son, what a splendid sky— White clouds on a sparkling blue! Here’s a white bird flying by,— Want to be a white bird too? Oh—want to be a golden leaf? So do I—you know they say That each night the fairies come To paint them—then they dance away. Let’s just sit and watch that bird. Duck your head it’s swooping near! Oh, you must be getting cold. Button up your collar dear. MARJORIE KOLMER.

28 THE LA WRENCIAN “The jig is up ’ said the doctor, as the patient with St. Vitus dance died. —The Maroon Echo. Vanity Street—The hall in front of the girls room. —The Clarion. Our Sentiments Exactly. “It seems to be the accepted belief of the students of Delaware Academy that the Exchanges are merely for the benefit of the staff. Let us hasten to correct this mistaken idea. “The Kalends” lists among its exchanges magazines and papers from all over the United States. Each of these publications contains entertaining as well as worth while material which you would surely enjoy reading.” —The Kalends. And since it is customary to herein inscribe our opinion of those publicationns with which we exchange we set about doing so to the best of our ability. The Kalends, Delaware Academy, Delhi, New York. One of the best magazines we have received. It contains a multitude of well written articles and really interesting stories. The Clarion, Lynbrook High School, Lynbrook, New York. A neat little publication. We suggest a little less space devoted to school news, and a few more columns to come under the Variety classification. The Bulletin. Oceanside High School, Oceanside, New York. A newsy bi-weekly, but supplementary matter is needed. The Alerte, Baldwin High School, Baldwin, New York. A compact complete weekly. The Chieftain, Sewanhaka High School, Floral Park, New York. A well-proportioned school paper. An exchange column or something of the sort would not be amiss, however. The Maroon Echo, Bayshore High School. Bayshore. New York. An excellent paper. However, a short story or the like would help greatly. These magazines and papers will be placed in the library together with that matter which may come in. in the interior, for the inspection of the school body. BERNARD HELFAT.

30 THE LAWREN CIAN TWO MOMENTS. The night before the ground was bare A sharp tang pierced the sultry air The moon was hid by a starless sky From afar I heard the lone-wolf cry. The next day all the earth was white The snow lay pure and cold and bright The sun was a dazzling golden string I heard the clear toned church bells ring. H. F. YOUTH. Happy youth, blithe and free, Filled with life and gaiety; Always stay that blissful way, Never doubtful, ever gay. Thus your days will be replete With your thoughts and wishes sweet. Sweet because they have you thrilled And your aim in life fulfilled. JOAN HOEXTER. SEASHELLS. Seasliells, dainty, fragile. Down beneath dark waters. Transparent and elusive; Neptune gave them to his daughters For playthings. Bubbles for the mermaids. Cherished deeply are they, Tangled in the sea-weed, Used by nymphs, wild and gay. For playthings. EDYTHE STRAUSS. EXPRESSION. Artists paint their feelings In colors, bright and gay. They seem to tell the looker What the artists want to say. I’ve looked all through the galleries. But never could I find The expression, that I’ve wanted For the picture in my mind. DOROTHY STERNGOLD.
