The Branksome Slogan 25 realizing that he had thoroughly frightened me. After this gallop, the fear of going too fast had left me. I urged the horse ahead and strangely enough, he broke into a slow trot. Having ridden before, I started to post, but Kentucky and I did not co-operate with each other very well, because every time I came down he went up, and he changed his trot fre- quently which looked as though he was doing this on purpose just to confuse me. After trotting for some time, we broke into a canter. I tried to keep myself close to the saddle and go with the horse when he cantered, but it was all in vain. He started to go faster and we galloped along the road. I finally perfected the art of keeping in motion with him and we hurried merrily along the leaf-strewn path. All this time I was continually patting Kentucky on the back, which in the end helped a great deal, because we, horse and rider, seemed to understand each other better as the time for parting drew near. We rode around several city blocks and went home. When T got off the horse ' s back, I could feel my legs giving way under me, but I tried to bear up and bade farewell to Kentucky, the horse which had cured me of being afraid of riding. I can only add that, I hope when we two shall meet again, that he will cure me of being stiff for at least three days after the ride. KAY STAMBOUGH, Form IV.

I saw a globe, and in this globe Were many well known faces, And when I looked again, behold, They all had certain places. Miss J , Miss A , Miss B , and Mademoiselle, They all said, looking at me Your homework is not done well. I did not blink an eyelid. But looked right straight ahead, I would show those teachers That I meant just what I said. Place vertex A on Vertex B, The town was taken by the infantry, Nero played while Rome burned down. And the scandal of Henry VIII was made known. The river was crossed by the Israelites, Where Richard won his many fights. He said, ' ' Quelle heure est-t-il s ' il vous plait ? For ifx + y = a + z The tension and velocity will soon be dead And I have the next dance with — um, let me see, O yes, Telemachus, he ' s in Homer ' s Odyssey. JANE MORGAN, Form II B.
