-7 ll ll , ,, ,,, DO FRESHMEN BELIEVE IN FAIRIES By VIVIAN KLEPPEN 'M rather in doubt to know whether we freshmen believe in fairies or not. I know though some of us do not believe or have any con- fidence in fairies, we would like to believe there were real fairies. A freshman on entering high school certainly must wish a fairy were with him to guide him through the long corridors of old South High, to find for instance room 4 in the basement or room 315 on third Hoor. To find the lunch room seems to be the least trouble, for the freshman's instinct of smell seems to tell him that. Many a time I have wished a fairy were in my pocket to tell me the answer to a problem or help me solve the problem in arithmetic in room 202 or help me recite in my class rooms. OUR SCIENTIFIC FAIRIES By DoRoTnY THOMAS HEN I was three or four years old, I used to sit close to my mother and listen to her when she told the old fairy tales I so loved to hear. But alas! How I envy those who today listen to the tales over the scientific fairy, the radio. Wouldn't it have been a great deal of help to our forefathers, in the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars, if the Radio were invented before that time? Or it would have been as great or even greater if the airplane were in use then, thus helping them in transportation. Indeed, there is no question astto whether or not this is a fairy, for what could be more fairy-like than a machine, taking people to their places of destination more quickly, carrying news to the farthermost parts of the world, and warning people and even whole nations of danger. The airplane has also aided greatly in the work of exploration. So you see we live in the age of modern fairies, and not in the age of the dainty little fairies, that are mentioned in the fairy tales, who sit on leaves and tell what we should and what we should not do. Our fairies of today do not touch us with their wands and send us to certain places but they themselves carry us there. ,,,,.......,,.,.. .. I 4: HA .Eli ,I -T L J PW' I Pug: Twenty-Two 19 Mx 5

Then oh! the ending of the joy A cruel fate decrees- And he is still a pygmy boy Quite friendly at the knees. Although at first the daily trend The Freshman little knows, As one long term rolls toward its end His wisdom slowly grows. The coming year new wonders brings This Freshman is no more: He pecks his shell, he shakes his wings A full fledged Sophomore.
