Thou shalt not wear shoes which are pointed or in any other way made pleasing unto the eye. Thou shalt not arrange thy hair in a manner which is not pleasing unto the Head-Mistresses. Wheii thou stanclest in line to 'await the feast, step not in front of thy neighbor. Thou shalt not bring food into the locker room, or loiter therein. Let there be silence in the passageways. In one week thou shalt not use more than three permissions to speak in the Room of Study, for verily I say unto you, it will bring sorrow upon your heads. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's books, nor her pencils, neither shalt thou make use of that which is not thine own. Thou shalt not enter the School by the front door unless thou hast been ordained Senior by the high powers. Obey the teachers and the laws of the powers that be, that thy days may be long in the school to which thy father sendeth thee. 23

Top-Knot Zin the Tllfitluuhs Little fairies gracefully dancing, Whex'e the Indians have once been prancing, Red birds, bluebi1'ds, all together ' And the dove with its lovely tail feather. Witli the robin on its nest, And the locust above the rest, And the gold hnch and his mate With the elm tree, tall and great. And the little pine With its odor so sweet and fine, And the steep hills on one side, And the brook, with its baby-tide, And the pebbles scattered through the water, And the king of the fairies and his daughter, Sitting on the leaf of a lily With the little imps so silly Making them laugh till their sides acheL The cook is making a lovely cake 17 or them to eat as they look at the sight Of the stars and moon on a summer night. ANNE ELIZABETH G1LB15RT, Sixth Form Grand Hotel, Castello a lVlare Taormina. March l9, l922. Dear Sixth Form: I will begin at the beginning and end at the end. All ready? Pay attention, Dorothy Nelson. At the Azores it was beautiful. Wait a minute before I begin. I want to tell you that there are no stretchers, some things sound a lot like it but they aren't. It was all rough, the water I mean. It was so rough they would not let us go ashore the first day. - When we did go we had to go in little row boats and yougot thrown all around in the boat. Before we went ashore all the natives came down in little boats to sell their goods. I'll give the list of the colors the houses were: blue, light and dark, azure, royal, sky, every shadeg green, the same as blue, purple and lavender, the same as greeng red and pink, the same as pur- pleg yellow and orange, the same as red. In shorter words they were more beautiful colors than you know of. These are just some things I noticed or found out: l. This pen is bad, I noticed that before I began writing. 2. Everybody from A to Z at the Azores went barefooted, rich or poor. 3. A house wasn't called good unless it had a balcony. This is all about the Azores, remem- ber. 4. I saw a store keeper in his store with a monacle. We Wanted to see the American Counsil, so we asked a man the way. He told a Portugese boy to take usg of course none of us could speak Portugese, and we said, Would11,t it be nice if he could speak English. I can he said proudly. Then he said the marines taught him and he could not have spoken better English. Then he told us his whole history pretty nearly. He said his name was Luis Morris, that is the way he spelled it, both s's are as hissy as you can make them. He said he was eighteen, and he was not any taller than I am, not one bit. All the kids are just as short. 25 f .
