of Memories Do you remember when Molly Hardy wrote this for the Beacon? POPLI-KR All day long you swayed and swayed- Tensely, dramatically, Mobile as the 'very wind Marquise of the plains in rustling gown. Then . . . one night I saw the warm new silver of a moon Cradled in your slender arms: Saw it glowing in your boughs Like some strange new fruitg Saw you quiver with a joy that the day could not define. Then silently, thoughtlessly, The moon-child fled from your tender breast And the sky reflected her youthful glamour. But you stretched empty arms to her- An agonized exclamation point. This morning you were dancing- Slimly, lithely. But you knew that l knew And you begrudged me my knowledgef' She is teaching now and substituted at Cleveland last year. Do you remember when Harry Wiese was President of the Alumni? He is now Dr. Wiese. Do you remember when Arthur Schwarz was a reporter on the Orange and Blue? He is now a draftsman and has drawn designs for the Police Headquarters, Federal Building, Soldiers, Memorial, and Bridge Head Inn. Do you remember when Harry Rosskopf was president of the Rifle Club? He is now President of the Cleveland Alumni. J X e v p Cx H , 5 lo, JF -QfVa.aL49u2. Page Twenty-Seven
