Zig A Reverie It is a very cold and dreary nightg The glistening snow is falling fast, The bitter north wind's blowing with its might, And at the city hall the old clock strikes half past. Ah, yes! old time says thirty minutes more, And this old year will quickly fade away, I gaze upon the fire and sit upon the floor, And memory brings back many a happy day. It nears the year of nineteen thirty-three, llfiy mind goes back to blissful days of yoreg I now can see my schoolmates of C. XV. C., The dear school we praise for evermore. The happy thoughts depart and then comes sorrow, I think of schoolmates scattered far and wideg Qnly wishing I could meet them all tomorrow, Coming in as does the ocean tide. The quiet and dismal hour is here at last, The clock resounds throughout the hallg And one more precious year has passed, Slumber quickly comes-no more do I recall. Ruth Henrichsen, Collegiate

as U 1 re ll : H 61 I Her eyes were beginning to grow dim. It was nearing twilight and she had been sitting iby the window, eagerly watching the landscape, and with her thoughts centered about her children. There seemed to be an exceptional rustle and bustle about the house as Eleanor was beginning to prepare supper, but her mother never paid any attention to this, only pondering over the letters which yet lay in her lap. Soon two carriages appeared only to be lost again in the dusk. P W'ithin only a few minutes footsteps were heard on the porch. Xlfho was there? Eleanor went to open the door. The children had all come home to celebrate mother's eightieth birthday anniversary. Mother became so glad that she was unable to speak, and tears were rolling down her cheeks for the unspeakable happi- ness was too great to express in words. Had her wish come true? Yes, and as a complete surprise to her, who had so long waited for this one occasion. Vivian Peterson Collegiate ODE TO LATIN The summer brings its joys and pleasures, And l take all beyond full measureg But when the fall comes round this way, I hardly know just what to sag! . Then school begins and Julius Caesar, He is an awful Sophomore teaser, 'Tis then I'd love to be the shark, And get the highest Latin mark. But such is 11Ot my happy song, Instead its Latin Three Hours long- But, ii T work real hard each night, T, too, may win this Latin ight. ' ---Y Cora Anderson ,25

NX'e'll be regular old maids before we get out of this school. Anyone coming near Elsa Dinsmores room would have heard these and similar exclamations. There were four girls assembled in her room scattered about upon the couch and bed. They were dark eyed, curly headed Roseg gentle Virginia, wise old Constance. Connie for short, and the proud and haughty Isabella May. They were all students of Clayton Hall, a fashionable school for girls, and they were sick and tired of having study hours every night except Saturday and Sunday and then not being able to go any place without a chaperon. . If we could only have a party of some kind, sighed Elsa. You know it's teachers' meeting tofmorrow night and Miss Allan always goes. She'd never know the difference. I've got a bright idea, exclaimed Rose, It's my birth- day tomorrow and my folks always send me a box of goodies. Instead of having imy spread in the afternoon let's have it in the evening. f'Eine , returned Elsa. But then it isn't a real party without boysf' For goodness sakes, Elsa, you don't think for a moment that we could get boys up here, do you? a-sked Virginia. I don't see why not. answered' Connie. i'You know my Cousin Fred goes to High Soho-ol here and I could phone him and have him bring four of his friends with him. T-hat sounds like a fish story. How could we get boys up here without getting caught ? asked Virginia. VVell my aunt did this very thing when she went 'here and they lowered a basket and pulled them up that way. 'Wlfhere could we get the basket ? VVill you wait until I get thro-ugh explaining? You know that 'old tank down in the engine room. We could get that, itls light and still it will hold them and we could help ourselves to those heavy ropes in the hall closet. 'lReally, Connie, you do deserve 'being called wise. You let the boys know and I'll see about the eats. All right, Rose, but remember, girls, this has to be kept secret. If we're found out-ugh, it makes me shiver to think what would happen if we should be. caught.
