f The Wood Nymph She lived in an oak In our pasture lotg And I saw her once, When I was a tot. Her hair was green, Her eyes were bright, And when you saw her, You saw a sight. I She kissed me once Long years ago, When my hair was brown And not like snow. One day they came and cut the oak That stood out in our pasture lotg And as for her present dwelling place, They told me but I've quite forgot. -DAVID EDMUND LEWIS The Faun He lives beside a reedy pool Where sleep the waters still and cool. I heard his whistle yesterdayg It fairly charmed my heart away. The red-winged black-bird has his nest Among the reeds my faun likes best, And when the rushes bend and sway, ' I think he's coming out to play. And once I saw him standing there With sunlight flashing on his hairg He smiled at me and then was gone, And now I'm terribly alone. -B. Hearing Things I love to hear the tinkling sound The cool brook makes. I love to hear the whip-poor-will Beyond the lakes. I love to hear the soft, weird sound Of fanning breeze. I love to hear the rustling leaves Beneath the trees. To think that I shall have to go And leave it all! I sometimes wish there'd never be Another fall. -JOHNNY JOSEPH. Y I Q- .

The Gymnasium This is the scene of our spring rodeo. Here We try our hands at bull-dogging, roping wild cows, and riding unbroken mustangs that buck forty ways at once. Sometimes we tame them, and just as often, we get thrown, but always there's the loyal ranch girl cheering us on from the rail fence. f sew. I I , ,Hg 1, -- N .. ' l v- H X V. t.

Throughout your life you will see a long, ever-growing line of men and women, young and old, humble and great, some stumbling and growing faint by the Wayside.
