The Mirror From the mix-up. your statistician concludes that deflation as well as inflation is a “muddied” question. There were many Bridges alone the road to he crossed and traveling was rather slow. However, the entire group was congenial and Witt-y. Pastoral peace and tranquillity reigned on either side of the road. At one place, a Shepard with a Sharpe-pointed Hazel switch was leading Back to the flock a fleecy White, Marino lamb. Farther on, a little, Young, Downey bird, somewhat resembling a Martin or a Robbie in an Ogletrce, was attempting to chirp its first Carroll. But the travelers burst forth with Mary laughter when a Frank-countenanced Friedman from the Letand of Scotland was suddenly plunged by the Horne of a Billy goat into an Artesian Well. Clark! Clark! See that dark Brown Hawk swooping down! There’s a Savagelooking Povnter, partially Hydc-ing behind that Butsch, poised watching. “Oh.” cried Amelia Clark, “that lovely White Lillie! I wonder if I Mac Pluck it?” Barton Bobo leaped to cut it and said, “Eu lette me pick it.” Another grew right Back in its place. “How much farther now?” “Oh, it’s Miles and Miles to Kirkwood Tree. That’s near Boston.” “Will ette he all right to eat now? “Fine, we have some Cookies, some Bartlett pears, some Turnipseed, some tea in the Brewer and a couple of Pecks of spuds! You Mae have this Honcy-cutt into pieces. But be careful, or you’ll need a Bibb to keep the sweet things from your V’est s. Ask Iras Mac Smith if Sweet Things don’t have the stickability of a Leach. Also there arc some grapes fresh from the Vinyard. Here’s some luscious corn on the Cobb and wc can Cook some Rice.” Then, after having stuffed and stuffed, how they Long ed for a bed. A Bed ’ford s so much comfort after a long walk. Seeing that all the Box-es of Jack were intact, they proceeded. “Do you like to Reed?” “Oh, yes, yes, vcs. Especially the lives and adventures of Bruce, Marie Antoinette, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, Wilson, Queen Elizabeth, Milton, Horace, Eugene Fields, Richard the Lionhcarted. Charles the Great, Helen of Troy, and the Queen Anne Wars.” Soon they neared a stream too wide to Hopp er leap across. What should they do? From the Glenn there, one husky boy chopped some wood for building a ship similar to the ancient Jifty-oared Grecian ship, the Argo. If they were able to Wade through some Halbrooks on a previous expedition, surely they could Rowe across this Didiakc. Safely on the other side, the road Led hetter and more quickly to the Chappeilc at Kirkwood tree. There a Sylvia-y Gray-haired priest showed them some pictures gathered by Parrish Parsons at Oxford. These were of Abraham’s descendants— Lott, Daniel, King David, Matthews, James, and Paul. The pictures were rather Hays-y and yellow with age. For some Knight or Earl or Mae be a King Louis of France had collected them in Holland centuries earlier. Among the pos Sessions of this priest was a beautiful, stained glass window Payne in the Had. Soon, after a few more leaps and bounds, the entire entourage reached Boston, accomplished the purpose, received 194 rcinflated diplomas, and lived happily ever after. Don’t think I've received a Dent on my head in Tcas-ing you this way. 1 like to Kidd you, using my half Witt, before Leaping out of sight. But our next leap is a leap into the future—May the leaps be broad, may the leaps be high—for the May class of 1936! Ruth LaTutile, [29]

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]

The Mirror IMPRESSIONS RAIN Oh. the drip, drip, drip, of the rain; the drip, drip, drip, on the pane! It’s the first sound of the dawn. The falling rhythm hums, then it drums in my drowsy brain. It comes softly, as if someone is gently rapping on my outer door. Then it becomes stronger, quicker, louder, and the effect is hypnotizing. I walk with eager steps to the window to see the magic, that gives life to all things around me. The trees have lifted their faces to receive the refreshment from the heavens. They try to get all of the sweetness, but it’s of no use; there are the flowers, and there’s the grass and there's the well—all of which must have drink. Water, water, everywhere—and water to drink. Margaret Baugh SNOW As the snow quietly falls, little children dance with glee. They gather enthusiastically about the windows and watch the new beauty of the surroundings. The old fence becomes a great wall; the fish pond, a shining lake; and the dog house, near by, a miniature castle. The whole world had mysteriously changed into wonder land. Evenone is enchanted by the fairy sights: even the old postman hums a tune as he trudges along his way, and while most of the older people protest because of the after effects of snow,—deep down in their hearts, they are sensitive to the mute beauty—the silent appeal of the snow. Dick Scott SLEET Sleet—sleet, even the word is cutting. It falls with a knifelike sharpness against the faces of everyone; it rattles on the dead leaves of the trees and brats against the window pane like the roll of many toy drums. With its icy pellets, it covers the streets and sidewalks of the seaport town, while on the sea the struggling sailors slip about the decks lowering icy sails. Hecause of its sting, it drives everybody to shelter, leaving the world to sfience except for the beating and the rattling, the rattling and the beating of the sleet—sleet. [30] Robert Currie
