APRIL TIME leanne Hodges There's a time in the year when the snow is melting, In the warmth the south wind brings, When flowers are budding and birds are singing. Most people call it Spring. But I call it time for the April sun To peep out after a shower, To turn every bud that is eager to bloom To a lovely, fragrant flower. And I call it time for the wind to blow, Ma-king the flowers sway, To stir the ripples of the sea, And the grasses by the way. Most people think of this time as Spring, With all of the plain, real facts, But to me it seems like a garden of dreams That their cold imagining lacks. IN THE KI NDERGARTEN Mrs. Burkett: Why joan, you didn't eat your meat. Ioan: Did you try to eat it? Sallie, sympathetically: Did you hurt yourself, john? john, blinking back tears from a fall: No, I didn't get hurt. I eat my spinach. Playing with guns is taboo on the playground. Yet lack persists in using other toys as guns. I-le was seen marching with a small ladder over his shoulder and repeating, Boom-boom, boom-boom . Mrs. Burkett: lack, do you remember we have no guns in kindergar- ten?Yi lack, very disgusted: I'm a Christian soldier. Can't I even be that? 68

Harmony and happiness have prevailed throughout. Mrs. Helen Wright Hovey, house mother, and lvliss Helen Crane Hardison, residence teachers, endeavored to maintain a balance between work and play. Once every two weeks two girls were selected by Mrs, Hovey to act as hostesses for an evening in the dining room. They planned the menu, table arrangements, and entertainment for an hour alter dinner. Many en- joyable evenings were devised by these ingenious students. The Dormitory has proved an enjoyable home to resident students dur- ing the past year. A fine spirit of cooperation has been shown, and the group has come to a deep feeling ol loyalty to the high ideals of Cumnock. 67
