THE TAI-IOMA Yet think not every heart that sings Is tuned by commerce, sober ear, Still lingers that ,same glory which Led Launcelot and Guinevere. And on our even, steady way Romance still smiles as yesterday. -M. M. 'I IM .sr Q! Us! Medifaiion HEN the cares of day are over, W And the sun has gone to rest, When the world seems wrapt in shadows, That's the time I love the best. Ah, then, I love to wander To some 'secluded spot, Anal in the gathering twilight Reflect upon my lot. And sometimes at the seashore I watch the silvery foam, 'Till darkness breaks my reverie And I slowly wander home. I love to dwell in fancies On the past, both sad and gay- And dream of all that might have been, As I iourneyecl on Life's way. -Bess Thompson '13

And the peo- ple of the tribe of the Sophomores did labor mightily and gathered much money for the honor of the High School and their fame was known among all the tribes. Now, it came to pass that the women of this tribe gathered to- gether and spake unto each other and said, Let us join ourselves together in the game known as basket-ball, and they did so. Now, their strength grew greater day by day and when the women of the many tribes did strive against each other in the game ot basket-ball, the women of the tribe of Sophomores didovercome all the other women. And great was the rejoicing thereat. And in the third year of their sojourn in the Tacoma High School, the people of tl1e tribe of 1911 'gathered together and said, Let us join ourselves together and choose a leader to be our guide, and they did so and Eva Vance was chosen to be their leader. Now it came to pass that this people said, Let us join ourselves together in two bands, the men in one and the women in the other, as is the custom among the tribes of the Tacoma High Schoolf' And
