Page Sixty-Two THE WEST Oh, I love the East, with its crowded towns, And its narrow, winding streets, Where each has a few of thenfriencls who are true And knows everyone whom he greets. Oh, I love the North, with its wind and snow, And its winters so long and cold, Where the people are few, and the friends are new And the towns are not very old. Oh. I love the South, with its stately ways, And its mansions so large and White, Where old Mzunmy sings to the 'babe who sleeps, And the banjo plunks at night. But give me the West, the happy West, With its valleys of rich black loam. Where though towns are few, and friends are new You will always feel at home. . M. A. Bishop ODE TO A FLY E Every creature has his job,, His duty to perform, ' .. The cats ure here to kill the mice, Which hang around the barn, The dogs are here to bark and bite. The bees are here to work, But :ill the lowly fly can do' Is buzz about and shirk. YV. S. '25 ODE TO A POET The preacher has his place to fill, The souls of men to saveg The doctor rushes to and fro, To save us from the graveg The lawyer works with all his might. To keep us from the jail, But why some poets e'er were born. 'Tis hard for me to tell, Ibs

Conservatory of Music and Department of Expression COLUMBIA is justly proud of her Conservatory of Music and Department of Expression. With very competent instructors these departments have taken a leading part in entertaining the citizens of this community. During the year many programs of a very high class have been presented. The first of these was the faculty concert given shortly after school opened. Each month the pupils in music and expression appeared in free recitals. The Glee Club gave a concert and the opera Mikado. The Male Quartet has appeared in public very frequently. Beside the regular recitals one special and tvvo graduate recitals have been given. The piano department of the College is very strong, and most favorably known throughout the community. Miss Mabel Col- bert, a conscientious teacher of exceptional ability, is at its head. Miss Colbert is a graduate of Kidd-Key Conservatory of Music at Sherman, Texas. She has also taken post-graduate Work under several vvorld masters. The past summer she spent working un- der Alfred Mirovitch. This is her second year in Columbia and the increase in her department has been a very good indicator of the popularity which she has attained in Milton. In the monthly recitals her pupils have shown a characteristic polish and touch which mark a distinction between her vvork and that of the ordin- ary teacher. Miss Colbert has been assisted in this department by Miss Louella Armentrout, a graduate of the Conservatory of Music of Whitnian College, at Walla VValla VVashington. This Was Miss Armentrout's first year of teaching, but the great im- provement that her pupils have attained during the past year has shown clearly that she is very capable in her vvork. Besides teaching Miss Armentrout has been accompanist for the glee club. Page Sixty-Four
