an-Q-13:-:fern-as-ay.-: THE ARSENAL CANNON -fin-szseiw-a.Qv-af-fl:-as IF THEY COULD SPEAK fSenior Class Poemj If they could speak, those things we love so well, The Fountain, walks, our daily meeting places, What stories of our life they then might tell, Of classes, campus pranks, and sports afield. What tales the grim, stern Arsenal tower Might tell us as we walk from class to class! The old clock-hands, as they point out the hour, Disclose the passing of our class room days. The message of the bells informs the ear That life will give us what we earn of it. We may expect a judgment without fear When we have done the best that we can do. The tower seems to say, Stand Firm and true. Give to your life the utmost of your strength. There is no more it can demand of you, And there awaits reward for him who seeks. If, when the tower speaks, we under- stand, We may repay the gifts our school has given. Though life includes the world in its de- mand, We can live loyal, true to our ideals. FRANCIS s. NIPP. . .

THE PLAY'S THE THING! PROLOGUE -:- -:- -:- -:- An uncanny stillness pervaded the scene-the hush that portends the com- ing of great events. As the curtains parted, the audience settled back into their seats with a deep sigh. At last, the play for which they had so long and eagerly awaited was to begin. With a flourish of trumpets, heralds announced the coming of the chief char- acters. The low, thumping undertone which had remained in the background grew into a thunderous roar. Soon it disintegrated into the steady tramp, tramp, tramp of thousands of feet. A clamorous murmur and the players, the freshman edition of the 1932 senior class, surged uponthe Tech campus, a perfect setting for the drama to follow. ' -:- -:- JANUARY, 1929 -:- -:- The thud of the hammer, the insistent whir-r-r-r of the drill, all the thousand and one little noises that go with the bringing of a new building into the world are silenced. The Wings to the Main Building have been completed! Finally the doors are thrown open. Eager stu- dents hasten to inspect the latest improve- ment on the Tech campus. It is a great day for the Home Economics department which has its new laboratories here. Darting eyes glisten in quick approval as they take in every spick-and-span detail of the shining new equipment and the cheerful, cozy rooms. Lucky are the freshies who will be among the First to use the new Wings! MARCH, 1929 -:- -:- -:- -:- A climax to a brilliant basketball sea- son is the winning of runnerup honors in the state basketball tournament. Indi- vidual honor, also, is captured when the Gimbel medal for good sportsmanship is presented to a Tech boy. And as a cli- max to a climax there is the never-to-be- forgotten parade from the campus to the Monument Circle and the exciting festivi- ties that ensue. Led by the band and stepping smartly in time with the re- sounding thump, thump, thump of the big drum, their green and white streamers flying in the bright sunshine, the freshies march prominently in the parade. Amid hissing serpentine crepe and snowlike flying bits of paper, members of the team are introduced from the steps of the Monument by Mr. Stuart, while from freshies, as well as from upperclassmen throats, comes a swelling cheer, Yea! Rah! Tech! SPRING, 1929 -:- -:- -:- -:- Into the triumph and gayety of the First year creeps a melancholy note as the freshmen somberly watch the razing of the old East Residence. Hungrily they gaze at it, storing up memories of each now-precious part. No more will they race up and down its creaking, complain- ing stairsg no more will they carve in- itials on dingy walls, no more-but enough of such lachrymose meditation. First member of the Old Guard to be honorably discharged, the freshmen bid you farewell! INTERLUDE -:- -:- -:- -:- There was a restless shifting in the audience as the spectators prepared them- selves for the next act in the enthralling drama. A fanfare from the bugles warned them of the next act. A breathless quiet imperceptibly settled as the curtains divided for the second time. II -:- -:- OCTOBER, 1929 -:- -:- Night. Through the deep, dark blue of the sky, venturesome stars peep down on a strange sight. Dark Figures dot the Tech campus, and the prying eyes of the little stars discern those of the new soph- omores as they hasten toward. the huge, new-looking building near the northeast part of the grounds. The brilliant glow of powerful lights diifuses itself over the ground nearby. Silence, and then the stirring strains of a great pipe organ -011323-cy
