'29 CSuggested by A'L'Allegro: Lines 83-84D Where relatives and old friends met Are at their picnic luncheon set Of salad, pickles, cake and ants, While young boys slide and rip their pants And little girls fall in the lake To be dragged out with a long rake, And snoring fathers buzz like bees While mothers swat flies near their knees: Sometimes with dubious delight A family picnic will invite.

h THE M ENGLISH CONTRACTS By EVELYN NEVENs, '29 Tuesday-Well, finally that contract is ready to be handed in. I heave a sigh of relief as Miss Deem calls for our contracts. HAn A? she asks, as if expecting to be answered in the affirmative. She isn't. That day I feel light- hearted. There are no English contracts to worry about Qnotice I don't say to doj. Wednesday-Alasl my joy is short-lived. As surely as the sun rises, Miss Deem is bound to say, Copy your contracts. They will be due one week from today. As I read over the new contract, I say to myself, Why, strange as it may seem, that doesn't look so hard. I'll finish D tonight. f'Whatl You're going to do your English this afternoon and the con- tract isn't due for a week? Don't you feel well? one of my learned Senior friends asks solicitously. A'Come on down town with us to take our pictures. Show your school spirit. For fear of being accused of going against M. A. H. S. principles by doing my homework instead of trying to help beautify and decorate our by helping them take flattering pictures, I reluctantly UD consent to do as they say. Thursday- Law test tomorrowln announces Miss Williams. Be sure to study those fifty questions. It won't hurt you to use your brains once in a while. I studied law. Friday- Evelyn, must you do that homework, now? You have until Monday, you know. l'Wel1, I'm all mixed up anyway, so maybe if I wait- Saturday-Aunt Ellen brought her darling twins over. Oh, and what those kids can do to a house! I had to straighten it up. Easy? No! Sunday-By this time I'm having an awful struggle trying to get started on that contract. I don't see why Miss Deem gives us so short a time. Con- sider-I had been working so hard on that contract every night Cwell-nearlyj since Wednesday, and I hadn't finished D. I finished up a few items. My work consisted mostly in arranging papers, ink, etc. Monday-I firmly resolve to finish that contract tonight. It has now assumed the shape of a horrible monster named Duty, which reproaches me for my negligence and taunts me for my inability to tackle and get started on it, though it well knows I would get ahead if I once started. It has many allies to prevent me from getting at it. They are Other duties, Friends and acquaint- ances, Pleasure, Books and Cwhisper thisj sometimes pure laziness. I finish another outline. Tuesday-To my horror, I discover our contracts are due tomorrow. What can I do? That younger ,sister of mine never will learn, I guess, that she should bring theme paper home the night before my contracts are due. Why are people so stupid? CDO I hear a remark, sotto voce, about traits run- ning in families?j Evelyn, come and eat. 'Just a minute, Mother. After a half hour, I come down to eat and listen to perfectly foolish and unimportant talk about local happenings. Why don't they discuss Milton? After a few at.- tempts at uplifting them by describing Milton's conception of Hell, they tell me to keep it to myself. I resolve to let them be lowbrow. I retire at twelve. Let me observe that ink isn't my favorite cream as a skin beautifier. Wednesday- An A, Evelyn? No, just a B. P. S.-Supervised study wouldn't be so bad, would it? Page Twenty-eight
