THE TOWER 1 with Qpulugies tn ne Once upon an evening dreary, as I pondered with the query Of the deep and curious problems of our school days being o'er, Of the pupils who are quitting, wnodering where they'll all be Hitting As they leave the halls of Allegheny High School evermore,- Deep into this subject peering, long 1 sat there-wondering-fearing- Thinking of the happy days and friends we'll see no more,f How some girls may soon be teachers, and our liviliest boys be preachers Preaching what they never practised, nor will evermorez- How our shyest girls may marry, how the Hirtiest ones may tarry.- Hunting, searching for a soul-mate to cook for evermore: How some may go to college, to gain a better knowledge. Of the merry things they dipped into at Allegheny High, And some will only spend their time in pleasures as before- And laugh at those who earnestly are working evermore. So I sat there wondering--dreaming-pondering,-thinking- Of the studies, friends, and good old times we soon will have no more 1- But there's one thought comes to me, and I'm sure you will agree. That the days and friends of High School life in memory will stay: For even if we settle here, or in far countries soar, The good old days of .X. H. S. will linger evermore.

26 THE TOWER john Kvatsak has entered into politics and is considered a good presi- dential timber for 1930. The Street Car Company employs one conductor of whom they have every reason to be proud. Don Luty is most eflicient. The way he yells NVatch your step and Fare, Please' is quite an accomplishment. Lenna Rugh has just arrived at the front as a Red Cross Nurse. lt is not known whether she will do much good because Lenna was always very careless and she might give some poor soldier camphor instead of castor oil. Some of the girls who went with her as nurses were Elizabeth VVright, Dorothy Volbreight, Mildred Harvey and Helen Avey. Mildred McKinley owns a chewing gum slot machine in the Union Station. She stands continually beside it and when she isn't extracting a piece of gum for herself she is busy looking into the mirror which is attached above the slot machine. And now that you've gone over each one, dear Hexbert, you had better go, because we must talk over these amazing disclosures. Oh, of course its always that way, when l've done what you wanted. But Iyve no objections. Say the quick spell and have me Bang-a-boo--bar Bang-a-boo-whack, XVitch is gone, Sun come back. Marrombah. Grace llorchers. Ruth St. Clair.
