George Underwood 5OW it so happened that, an earthquake having destroyed their beautiful city, it became necessary for George and Virginia, in company with the noble Buster and the inseparable Violet and Margaret, to set forth for a new land. And as their destination they chose the Garden of Allah. George and V irginia, wandered on ahead, and it fell to Bus to entertain the other fair damsels. And it came to pass that, in crossing the desert, they came to a spot on which grew many and varied types of the low and thorny cactus. Our hero Bus, following the example of the ancient .Sir Walter Raleigh, removed his flowing robe on which was blazoned a flaming A, and spreading it over the thorny way he cried, “Step on ’er, kids.” And even in the middle of the journey such as this, it seems, we find our bits of romance. For it is said that George quoted the worthy Khay yam to Virginia; A book of verses underneath a bough. Some H20, a loaf of bread, and thou Jazzing within the wilderness, Oh Wilderness were Paradise enow. Violet Graves 10

Seniors Robert Graves Elizabeth Poster IONG ago a group of travelers set out to cross the ever shifting sands of the (treat Desert. Before them, behind them, and on either side of them stretched the same, dun-colored sand. At last, after many days and nights of traveling, she who was known as Elizabeth, tiring of the ever-sameness of the wide expanse of sand, spoke unto her campanions, Oh ye chosen few of Allah. Hearken unto me. In one corner of my pack is a leathern case, made for the carrying of water or wines. I Ct us fill it with air and use it as a ball.” And it was thus. At last one night as they rested from their wanderings, he who was called Bud drew upon the sands with his staff. And with shouts of joy the travelers ran, jumped, and otherwise made merry in the court thus formed. Thus for many nights they frolicked, until at last the two makers of the game tired. But still Robert and the two sisters Alys and Jennie played. At last only the two were left, but they ever played on, until their fame spread throughout the land. And so it is today. 9 Edward Berryman

VEN in the long, long Oh! very long ago the elders of the tribe criticized the corruptions of youth. Oh! yes, the vices were many. There was not much indifference to the worth while things of life, why even Paul disregarded the worthwhileness of familiarity with the 90 degree angle and that circle with 340 degrees or was it 360 degreesV Oh well, what matters thatV Oh ’tis true he was a jocund youth but he was not the only one. Willard quite agreed with him, only Willard tho'f that the circle, in fact he was quite aware that the circle had 360 degrees. By Allah, why shouldn’t he, he had helj ed to make that rule. O so very, very benignant were Isabelle, and Jessie, and Elizabeth. Life was really so simple, so interesting and so complete. Yes, Allah supplied all things for that Simple life. Just a simple faith and simple morning prayer, kept that forbearing god Osinis from life forever. 11 Paul Rowe
