The Mirror UPHEAVAL! In the days of old. Before knights were bold. The honest man trod With safety the sod. “And birds and beasts were there,” For man had set no snare— And there was no fear of Jove. After this golden time Because everything did not rhyme. Men said rulers should he routed: Then, to the Earth, Hades spouted. And there was fear of Jove. Tom Smiley o IN REVERSE Nights and days In endless maze I spend in writing verse. Mental pains Have brought no gains, But criticism terse. Every line Shows some decline. As each atttempt grows worse. JIarry Upson [27]

The Mirror HUMORESQUE • • • THE JIG-SAW PUZZLE With glassy eyes and throbbing head, As hour bv hour went bv, A boy, who should have been in bed, Sat fitting a jig-saw sky. And then he made the jig-saw grass, And too—some jig-saw sheep. The test next day he failed to pass, Recause he was asleep. —Horry Lifison THE SPOOKS “When the moon comes over the mountain,” And the ghosts are playing around, We hear the weird sounds from the fountain. And the yelp and bay of the hound. When the owl says, “Who, Who, Who,” Each pulls the cover over his head. When the ghost says, “You, You, You,” Wc act bravely although we are scared. —To to Smiley [26]

T h e Mirror CLASS statistics: leap fog “When Life leaps in the veins, When it heats in the heart, When it thri.ls as it fills Every animate part, Where lurks it ? Who works it? We scarcely detect it.” Hut statistics reflect it. This Leap Year Senior Class of '36 should record first that there are 1 IS feminine members in an enrollment of 194: the majority means if the feminine contingent were all to leap. 42 would have to go to extra-territorial boundaries, bur be it said women's ambitions are not bounded by clique or class. Leaping by this group, however, is worth mentioning: our poundage aggregating 25,000 pounds: but high spirits can overcome bodily resistance. If some of our young architects were to build a spire using the members of this class as material, the height would be 1,100 feet. How lofty! How high-minded! Warning: Remember Macbeth who aspired and expired; and drama, if not history, oft repeats itself. There are 117 students preparing for pedagogical positions. 116 of these wish to be appointed supervisors, 'flic other one will be content as a principal. War is on, with the narrow margin of 116 to I favoring the lowly. 50 members have ambitions to diagnose and dose, but as yet not one has offered to be a patient for these doctors. If to dose proves as deadly as to diagnose, the doctors will have need for patience in lieu of patients. Frank McDonald has taken four years of Latin in preparation for his physician’s career. Hut who wants to hear Latin even when he’s well? And when he’s sick, Latin will be to him prophetically a dead language. Aggregate number of times locker keys have been lost—10,001. The last one was the result of Elna Erickson’s willfulness in having a bottom locker. Moral: Always aspire to the higher. Number of pupils leaping up stairs to library during one day—0. Number of pupils leaping down to the lunch room during same day—194. Deduction: The relative values of physical and mental feeding lead to the conclusion that figures do not falsify. Judging from the number who leap impatiently to the door at the ringing of the 2:55 bell, the statistician prophesies that 94 masculine members will be hurdlers. Question: What part does gallantry play in our modern age? Convention says, “Ladies precede gentlemen.’’ Now let us take a great leap in the dark and give an accurate account of the events of that extra 29th day inflicted upon us in our last year. Once upon a time, a large group was journeying along the road to Boston to protest against the deflation of the diploma. Among these were Margaret Hloomston Brinson, Q. T. Barrett, Pauline Bomar Johnson, Harry Huntington Howell, Sophia Ernestine McBryde, Frances Elease Craig. I Ouis Dominick Delaney, Eugene Lovoy Cottingham. Lorcnc Josephine Harris, Claude Ezell Davis, Beatrice Darden McCormack. Frank Burgess Fairley, Jane Vance Horton, Ralph Phillips Patterson, Amelia Clark Warner, Fred Burks Vandergrift, Marjorie Jean McDuff, Gaston Simmons Brown, Marjorie Sumner Schuster, Barton Bobo Presley, Edna Seibert Bouchcllc, Claude Lammons Barrett, Jean Bragan Howell, and Ed. Huev Krantz. [28]
