THE WIT AN TRANSITION In September's morning we came, Green as spring. And mellowed through a year Until summer's scarlet touched us. The scarlet of noon-day. From rustics to warriors We belligerent red sophomores had passed, As ardent and sagacious As Penelope's suitors. We caught the cornucopia of those four years. Golden autumn. From whose teeming embrace Were gathered fruits and grain Of three years cultivation, The judicious harvest time When everything is stored Until the coming year. Like a storekeeper taking inventory When the snows set in. So we reviewed our stock and tilled The vacancies. We sat back And hurriedly enjoyed those things That previously were barred. Four pale arduous years thus gone We think of years to come. How uncertain is our future Whose configuration, unexplored. Rests as an Everest. The very foundation of which May be moved by earthquake or storm; And from whose top a Carbuncle gleams. A hazy luminous goal where none But deserving adventurers arrive. Now wc start our gem-ward journey. Allen King, CUus « .

THE WITAN fc. •u •' (3W vx JJ9 C A ?VL JKW ® Ofi PRACTICE HOUSE V V V snS V sw «i T HOMEMAKING The girls of the home making class quickly donned their uniforms, all ready to prepare one of the several luncheons to be served. Soon the clatter of dishes and egg beaters broke the silence of the room. As the minutes passed quickly, delicious odors came creeping from the ovens. The two girls who were to serve as- signed certain duties to others and then proceeded to set the table cor- rectly. The usual washing of dishes and the housekeeping duty for each girl ended the period, so those who had finished slipped quietly off to lunch, leaving the two girls to serve in a somewhat anxious state of mind. But in every respect the luncheon proved successful. The guests at the first luncheon were Miss Newman, Miss Stowell, Miss Keeflfe and Miss Werner. Wini- fred Rabjohn and Irma Holverson served. The guests of the second luncheon were Miss Traver, Mr. Butterfield, Miss Sharer, Mr. Lee, Miss Miner, and Mr. Chamberlain. Evelyn Gallery and Elsa Schmidt served. The guests of the third luncheon were Mr. Woodman, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. True and Mr. King- ston. Eleanor Bergerner and Elise Tackabury served. The guests of the fourth luncheon were Mrs. Stacy, Miss Sharer, Miss Curtis and Miss Harvey. Helen Josh and Elsa Schmidt served. The senior homcmaking girls have had the opportunity of serving the teachers, so the junior homemaking girls will serve the senior girls some time in the near future. Beside the serving of luncheons, the girls are completing the making of various articles which will add a more home-like atmosphere to the apartment. The girls held a homemaking ex- hibit in the assembly to show what had been accomplished this term. Aside from these things, each week the homemaking girls have prepared something to be sold in the lunch room, such as: cream puffs, Scottish Fancies, Chocolate Kclaires, sponge cakes, lady fingers, sponge drops, fudge, and a variety of other things. Myron Kelly, of Mr. Kingston’s de- partment, made a dressing table to go in the bedroom of the model apart- ment of the Practice House. 20
