22 7 II li S E N 10 R £ f A G N E T LIFE OS' TIIE FARM Isadore Aaron Nero: happily sigh for the farm and its peace With its fields and its meadows so broad; For the ducks, and the geese, and the shearing for fleece, And the chickens, and orchard, and sod All the horses and cows, and old Shep by the shed As he watches a rabbit ahead. Yes, it’s oh! for the farm where the air is so fresh, Where there are such broad vistas to see; Where the men are all healthy and solid of flesh, And from gross city cares, are so free. While the clouds do scamper across the sky, blue, Ev’ry morning reveals a world new. Though 1 toil in the fields, when the sun is so hot, Or the team, I do hitch up to plow; hi the mills, in the shops, there to work, I would not Where the men to diseases must bow. Better, Shep and I go to the meadow with sheep. While the sun o’er the heavens does creep. At my work in the fields, there I sweat and toil. In the spring, I do plow and plant seeds. Then I anxiously watch the plants spring from the soil. And I grimly do battle with weeds, ’Round potatoes, and corn, and the beans, use. a hoe. Which I steadily use in each row. At the end of the summer, the harvest does come, And I take all my grain from the field When the grain is all threshed and much more work is done, I do estimate the seasons yield. Then I go to some fields, and 1 gather the hay For my cattle and horses, forray. Then my bins are all loaded with plenty of grain, And the mows are all loaded with hay. For my sweat and my toil, all of this is my gain. With all thanks to the good God, I pray. Then our pleasures begin, and from labor we rest, To the dances and corn-roasts, we go, In the winter, on sleighs, o’er the earth’s snowy crest Ride o’er hills and down valleys below. We all sit 'round the hearth, on a holiday eve. We munch sweetmeats, and such stories weave. And now what do the crowded cities offer to youf To the woods on a Sunday, we go. In the morn, we go out and see flow’rs kissed with dew Then to orchards, where all fruit does grow. In the ev’ning, the cows from the pasture are called And the sunset holds us all enthralled. Then the farm is for me, with its bounty so free. All the fresh eggs and milk that I wish. May the good God in Heav’n look down on us and see That none on the farm may perish. And pray to the Lord to keep us all from harm. And bless all that do live on the farm.

T HF SENIOR MAGNET A tomahavk, all bright and new, He gripped within his strong, lean hand, And at the heart did swiftly hew, And of the heart did part each strand. The dragon rolled in agony. Its vitals pained so fearfully. Wings of the Morning did hew on, Until it motionless, did lie. Sunbeams did lightly fall upon Dead eyes that looked and saw no sky. Then Wings of the Morning left the dead Green carcass that stained the whole peak red. To the Kenai, he went down To tell them all that they were free. While from the air, with jeweled crown. Did Aristawa go to see That Satenawi now was dead, In a lake of his life-blood red .45 Aristawa went before, Wings of the Morning followed him. In Satenawi’s flooded gore, That flowed with unabated vim, The Sun God wrote, that the tribe was free From sacrifice and misery. ----------b.h.s.-------- SCHOOL DA YS Beautiful, Happy school days! Shall we forever depart? To take up our share of the world’s work. And each on his journey start. Our trials and joys will go with us, If we keep in the one right way Not only duty and toil we’ll find, But joy, which forever will stay. We’ll build for our future, as time hurries past,-A blessing that will follow life’s way. That is the future for you and for me, Which we choose in our happy schooldays. How we treasure the last moments of this Beautiful summer of school-days, How sadly we think of parting, from this Beautiful summer of school-days. Sweet and sad is the parting, .45 we start on the varied road. For we are the travelers on the journey of life Each bearing his separate load.
