Page thirty THE ANNUAL TO A ROSE A shuttle of fancy flew by wild and fI'CC, The iibers were light as the foam of the seag And dyed where the fairies were blending the tints For hollyhock petals and bloom of the quince. When to thee in the sun, Thy fair petals were spun, And spread a prize by their daintiness won. When nightly the dew-drops lie down to their rest, And Zephyrs are choosing where they would bequest, Thy buds fast asleep are low-bowing their heads But waiting the dawn's touch to spring from their beds. Then the dew and the kiss Of the zephyrs are bliss, And thy bloom of world more ethereal than this. Florence Collins. .n .n .1 TO YOUTH With cheeks and eyes aglow from tingling airg With happy ringing laugh and glances bright, To Youth the world is fresh with joy and light- It knows no heavy heart nor aching care, But has a dream of dreams where all is fair. The light-poised figure drawn to fullest height, Tripping along, unconscious, forms a sight That world-worn men in memory long may bear- O blithsome Spirit, free from any stain, Alive in every quickening vein with wealth They view, not that of doubting age, is truth. That thou must toil and labor hard to gain- In fair and lofty visions lies thy wealth, And rich thou art beyond a king, O Youth! Wm. G. Marvin

Page thirty-two THE ANNUAL FRESHMAN CLASS lf HE Freshmen have passed almost a year in our midst and by this time their gay and verdant green has become dim and tarnished. Indeed, they look almost like Sophomores, except to an expe- rienced eye-but once in a while, even yet, their freshness crops out in some fashion. This class is an intelligent body of youngsters and have adopted a unique and wholly new constitution. This constitution admits of three classes of members. The first class, active members-those who are of regular Fresh- men standing and in passable standing in their classesg second class, charter members-those who have fallen by the wayside and consequently are not in good standing in their classes, the third, honorary members-those whom this class may elect into their organization as members. This is the first time any organization has adopted a constitution re- stricting membership according to student application, and it will be very interesting following its success. The Freshmen have chosen Mr. Showalter as advisor and the following officers: President-Arthur Diefenderfer. Vice-President--Frances Brown. Secretary-Fred Blumenschein. Treasurer-Mr. Miller. Sergeant-at-Arms-Robert Pocock. Editress-Edna E. Miller. JJ-Al SOPHGMORE CLASS l HE Sophomore class are now almost juniors and some of them have already assumed the airs and dignities of a mighty Junior, It is even whispered that some are putting forth dramatic buds, in hopes that they may be chosen for the junior play next year. While, as a rule, the Sophomore classes do nothing startling -give no plays-are not even green enough to attract attention, still it is this year which lays the foundation for the harder junior and Senior years. Thus the present class has been busy getting a good start in class organiza- tion and hopes to have an unusually successful junior year.. The members
