- INDIAN SUMMER X Indian Summer! Such a beautiful name and so pleasant when it comeee Indian Summer is like something wished for but not granted at first, but which comes as a wonderful surprise after nearly all hope has been given up. Indian Summer brings those few rare days in the fall when there is wonderful weatherz' blue skies, a golden sun, birds singing and the late flowers lifting their heads as if to say, nHello0N California's Indian Summer is so unusual that every one seems to rejoice just for the joy of living. This year it was like a jewel which was in a dull setting. Eleanor Socker H9 DEFEAT No one is beat until he quitsg No one.is through until he stops, No matter how hard nfailuren hits, No matter how many times he drops. Failure can slam him and bang him around, And batter him until he is sore But they never can say he is downed - While he bobs up again for more. A fellow's not dead till he dies, Nor beat until no longer he tries. A felloW's not down till he lies In the dust and refuses to rise. James Knees L9 Q ' AN AUTUMN EVENING The sun had descended in the west, As I sat in front of my cabin door. And I listened to the falling leaves, Falling softly along the shore. For the autumn days were here. And summer has completely gone. As summer can't always last. While time goes fleeting on.

variety did not grow there, but the olive and grape were raised by them as it is by us. The people of Greece were not moody, thinking only of their own souls, but the vivid colored country seemed to re- flect on their character, making them a very pleasant people. They had a deep feeling for this beauty. They had common sense and a clear vision. The big mountains and large seas kept them from being narrow-minded individuals. It gave them broad judgment and a deep curiosity. Their.outdoor life, with the help of the sun, and the breezes from the sea, made them a healthy people. If our land exerted influence upon us, we should also have an appreciation of beauty and a love of health. A p Evelyn Page HO A VIEW, In the days of Hiawatha, In the Indian days of old, Of the lakes of tranquil waters, And the roaring cataract bold. There between the trees are paths, There some red, lost, Indian hunter, Seeks for some lone beast that hath Drawn him from his Wigwam shelter. Far down beneath the glen are seen Little streams of bright blue-green, Opening out beyond the glen, Which serves so nicely as a screen. By the water's ranid fall, W And the woody shores near by, There is heard an old squaw call And her little papoose's cry. Then at last when eve has come, . The Indians come home one by one, And turning, pointing to the sun, Say their prayers till each is done. Eileen Wilson L9

I looked out across the mountains Where the trees were all in brown. And I regretted the lost days. When I would be back in town. I was 'ust here on.a vacation. Among the beautiful trees. And I loved to hear the leaves, Falling slowly in the breeze.. , V Curtis Kenney L9 . CIRCUS DAY ' Circus day at last is here, It comes but once in every year. The parade is marching up the street, Just hear the great big drums that beat. The elephants are dressed with colors bright, They surely are a wonderful sight. The horses are of white and black, With beautiful girls upon their backs. The band is first in the line, - And the elephants follow right behind. Last of all come the animal cages, Because the lions have such rages. They are all bound for the circus grounds,. The horses are galloping with furious bounds. Yes! Circus day at last is here, And it comes just once a year. ' . .Robert McKenna L9 I BURBANK R' Burbank, Burbank, I will be true. Burbank, Burbank, it's not hard to do, For when your name is called aloud I surely do feel very proud , I So I'll try to do my very best In every way that you request And make you the biggest and the best.
