is f i A FLOWER SHOW AT P. A. L. We have had various kinds of shows at P. A. L., why not have a Flower Show, too, with every girl contributing some favorite blossoms? All of the girls could offer tulips Ctwo lipsD, and some might bring in bachelors' buttons. A few may have a sweet William, and later the bridal veilg still others may run to marigold Cmarry goldj. Snapdragons could guard the doors until the opening of the Show at four o'clockCsj. Then the girls would probably come in plilox Cflocksj, but if the male attendance were light, we should have a number of bluebells. If we have any student from California, she would bring a California poppy. The happyfgoflucky girls have many larlgs Cpur dayl and the quieter ones could supply the daisies Cdays' easel. ' The long names of the unfamiliar flowers might perhaps balsarn C ball somej up, but the Cafeteria would furnish soothing refreshments with buttercups and Honeysuckle. The Dormshould be able to contribute 'many ladies' slippers, and Dorothy Peckham could bring some dandelions Cdandy linesl. We are sure Steve would be pleased to supply the pussywillows. There might be a few girls with bleeding hearts, and one or two may have anenione Can enemyb, but we hope not. W 1NsP1RAT1oN Ch, itls easy to write from the thick of the fight, When life is exciting and wild- When lifels moving fast, with a' roar and a blast, And everything 'round you is riled. There's something to tell, when lifels all pellfmell, A Therels something to write about theng I You have subjects galore, all you want and still more- The words simply corne to your pen. Butwhen youlre at home, and youlre sitting alone, And life lacks all interest and pepg When the muse doesn't work, andyoulre tempted to shirk, And the meter is all out of step, When everythings dead, and your thoughts are like lead- Letme tell you that at such a time, Though perhaps you donlt know it, it sure takes a poet To write a respectable rhyme. - 202
