llmpatienoe I stood upon a meadow and watched the twins of youth come toward me, Love and Happiness. Love was beautiful with blue for-get-me-nots entwined in her black hair. Happiness was radiant, and he looked adoringly upon his sister. The breezes bore aloft their gay laughter while they asked me- Where dwells this strange couple Joy and Experience? We want them now We cannot waitf' They do not live together, I answered. You must know Experience before You will find Joy. But with impatient gestures and many nods they skipped away. -Ethel Raslcin. Page Thirt

aj i Looking Back . I 1 , , f , fv,,f1gyvz,,-a Vpfprflxj ' ff 1 EZ I to him, sez I- How kin I re- member who was which and who t'other about our class ? So he sez to me, sez he, I'll give you the dope and we'll work it. So we waz sitting kinda peaceful like and just tryin' to call back old ideas and mem'ries as it was when he up and cracks wise. Say, 'member when we come up to school-how we wanted to sign our names, john johnkowitz, with freshman af'er it, like it wuz a degree or somethin'? And 'member Norris Prospects ? Me not bein' a member of said club, I di'n' say nothin'. But then I seems to have workin's in my head, too. Funny, ain't it? 'Member W e l l e s an' Merrill Club? 'Sox' was 'lected Freshman D'rector. An' those bright uns in th' Honor Society, you know, Elsie Bornfleth, an' Frank Zeidler, an' Tony VVollaeger, an' Clif Collins ? Oh, yeh, an th' Prospect of'icers. Lem- me see, Brenckle wuz president, an' Erd- mann, vice-president, an' Calhoun, secre- tary, an' Old Man Zeidler, treasurer. . . . He sez all 'at to me, an' then we wuz once more silent. Then he sez, sez he, Wz1sn't it great when we got to be second semester freshies an' We joined debatin' clubs? The dues wuz th' on'y part of the clubs I di'n' like. Then we began 'mem'brin' things so quick, we coul'n' write 'em down fas' 'nough. Like Kate Knell bein' soph Merrill D'rector, an' Bill Calhoun an' Chris Erd- mann goin' as Norris represenatives to th' Ol'er Boys' Conf'rence ..., A n' th' fellas out for track an' football . . . Bill Brenckle an' George Vlfalters strugglin' for fame in foot- ball togs . . . An' th' gang out for track- Bill Nicholson, Howie Koeppen, Clarence f ' ' Q CQ if Simon, Bill Brenckle, Carl Kneyse, Augie Stecher, Bob Spindler, Red Strelitzer, an' so on. Seems like 'at Koeppen boy and Langmack, too, wuz pretty hardy, for they wuz out for cross-country, too. An' then I sez to him, sez I, 'At I-Ionor Society business wuzn't so big-Elsie Born- fleth, an' Zeidler, an' Louise Denker, an' Flo Dysart . . . No wonder so meny of us wuz ready to pack up an' leave th' place flat, what with bein' stinted alla time an' bein' 'detentionized' all time. Then we just set an' think for a while. Th' noise's disturbin' th' other occupen' of th' room. Th' game wuz called off on ac- coun' of rain. If you get what I mean-yes, yes . . . Then th' smoke of battle liftin', he sez, sez he- Don' never see why they make sich a fuss 'bout 'lectin' junior officers. We sure had a close fight before they 'cided on' Bill Calhoun for president an' C,1if.Collins for vice-president. Ruth jane Kafrow was a plen'y neat seck, eh, what? Bill Quinn was chief cash collector. He wuz a good un, all right. Football, sez I, seems to have got inta th' blood. Why I kin recall 'at Harv Sverdlin, an' joe Ryan, plus Nellie Kings- bury, an' so on went outa fight for th' Alma Mater. Yes, sir, an' 'at bird Brenckle wuz 'lected chief bouncer for th' 'Lethic 'Sicia- tion. Lemme see, 'at was in '27-'28. Then he up an' laffs an' cracks bright, 'Tain't all. Calhoun wuz out for swimmin' an' track got holda Herbie Brill, Steve Toth, an' Harold Schroeder, besides 'em 'at went out w'en we wuz sophs . . . An' ev'rywhere we went 'er wuz allus yells. Seems like there wuz three guys-Bernie Berry, an' Charley Burton, an' Floyd Richie wuz allus aroun' yippin'. Page Fifteen
