Round these common homely things They weave a crystal cloak Which sends its rays on every side. -Dorothea Faslz APRIL SHOWERS Don't you love to listen to the patter of the rain? Pitterfpitter!-patterfpatter, Dripfdrop!-splatterfsplatterl' s It is like a lovely rhyme, Or, a very sweet refrain! It will make the green things grow They are aweary of the snow- Don't you love that earthy smell? 'Tis where the infant flowers dwell. What sweet note is that I hear? 'Tis the robin with his cheer! See--how happily he flies Toward the rainbow in the skies! -QPat. Carroll, '26, DID YOU? Did you ever ride in the Sandman's Boat Through the midnight blue of the skies. Have you rested your head on a fleecy cloud And dreamily closed your eyes? Were you lulled to sleep by the boats gentle sway As it sailed on that ocean of blue? Till you came to the land of Forgotten Dreams Where all that you wish comes true? -Dorothea Fash. Page one hundred 3w33QQ33Q53 NINETEEN TWENTY SEVEN QQA-553333333

Their port had the strange name of Graduation, and was far off in the distance, not even discernable. The length of the voyage was two years. so it was deemed wise to elect a captain. This was done and she was to pilot the ship for one year. The first few weeks proved rough sailing and many times the marinei's thought of returning, but the great spirit of the Captain bade us struggle on. Then we successfully passed the Rock of lnitiationf' and entered the uneventful Sea of Hard Work interspersed by bright, happy times, known as Social Events. By means of hard work and skillful sailing we passed the Shoals of Mid'year Examinaf tions. After that we entered the frightening Waters of the Midfyear Demonstration, and were very worried till we passed them, XVe sailed serenely on through another Sea of Hard Work and Social Events, and found ourselves in the VJaters of the Spring Demonstration. No sooner had we passed that, than we were confronted by a treacherous 'kStorm of Final Examinations. During that fateful Storm a few of our mariners were washed overboard and lost. Vdhen the 'fStorm abated. we sailed into the midfport called Camp In Camp we worked faithfully, learning how to improve our seamanship. Then we separated and went to our respective ports to prepare for our last year of the voyage. In September, 1926, we again assembled aboard the good ship. As in our first year we elected a Captain, good and true, whom we trusted would pilot us through this second year as successfully as our first had done. As we started, we met the crew of the 'LClass of 1928 and aided them in getting started, hoping that they might avoid some of the mistakes we had made. Then our courses sepaf rated and we bade them a cheery l'Farewell and Good Luck. XVe sailed calmly and happily on and again met, but successfully passed the Shoals of Midfyear Examinations. Cur experiences with the Waters of the Midfyear Demonstration were very pleasant. for we had so improved our seamanship that we were not worried.
