work. It's been enjoyable, every minute of it. I hope soon to con- tinue my studies with a chap up here who wants to hear me play. I don't quite remember his entire name, but it had something to do with beets and havens. Oh, yes! Beethoven! Perhaps someday I shall play like Rachmaninoff. Until then, to quote my teacher, Back to the scales !', A '7!w Sea by Sue Seelhorst The sea has many moods and seems to be a reflection of man's emotions. g It runs its greedy fingers along the shore, dragging the reluctant shells and sands back into its dark and secret depths. It will rage in sudden, violent anger, swallowing the lives of many men, or raise its gigantic arms proudly to reach for the stars, and then crash and roll into a sigh in its frustration. Though the sea may be as still and as smooth as a mirror, beneath its serene, shining surface the turbulence and violence of its might still lurks. As man's expressions show his mood through his eyes, brows, mouth, and his gestures, so the waves indicate the mood of the sea. When the sea is calm and resting, then the waves are mere whispers on the sands of the beach and murmur their contentment. 'VVhen the sea is playful, the waves begin to swell, grow, and toss their spray in the air, laughing. When it has been offended, it will roll in sullen swells and break upon the beach with a deep, ominous boom. The sea is as vain as a beautiful woman. On a bright, cloudless day it will lie in smooth calmness and let the sun drop diamonds on its bosom. At night, in its black, satiny splendor, it will hug its re- flection of the stars to its breast and catch between its gentle swells the reflection of the moon, and if there is no moon, it will make up for its absence by tossing phosphorus in its large sprays. It is strange that the Creator of all the universe created His ruler of the earth Cmanj and the most powerful force of the earth in such close similarity. In the sea we observe the might and beauty of God. - We happened to sneak a glance at a note being passed in Mrs. White's second period Latin class. It was as follows: Roses are red, Violets are blue, I copied your paper, And I flunked too. 135
