PHYSICS Yes, Physics we are taking, Indeed I did say we, Of course, including Peggy, And I, myself, and me. We're quite a class you know, In fact, there's more than one, And truly there are bright ones For they are not all dumb. Is Physics hard, you ask me? Oh dear! well, I should smile! You really ought to take it And have Mr. Howe awhile. At first he gave us a sheet Of paper, we should learn Every bit of writing on it, Our pedagogue strict and stern. First it was metric system And then, oh density! Simple machines and so forth, And center of gravity. The11 the definition of moments, And the wheel and axle too, Also various pulleys, And how much work they could do- The inclined plane and friction, And every kind of power, Till wesall felt as top-heavy As any leaning tower. Gravity, gravity, gravity, Gases, Boyle's law, atmosphere, Galileo and Torricelli Till we almost saw them appear. Then pumps for water and air, Now parallel forces and lab., When later our books were marked Some faces were glad, some sad. Speed and acceleration, Galileo 'gain reappears, And helps in return to stir up Our once quieted fears. The pendulum, and laws of motion, Energy was taught us too, And goodness knows what else we'll learn Before the whole year's through. Yes, our wise physics teacher, A vertitable sentinel, I'll say in truth, 'tis Mr. Howe, Who makes us work or tolls our knell. ISOLINA BRANDENBURGH, '22. 11851

OUR LUNCH ROOM HOUGH our main purpose in East High is to satisfy our hunger for knowledge, every day at eleven forty-five great evidence is shown of another hunger every bit, as vital, for then the first lunch begins, and everyone sees to it that he gets his share. V Orderly lines of two together march up to the lunch room where they form into two lunch lines, one for each counter. The two counters, one for boys and one for girls, are complete in themselves being composed of the steam tables, salad counters, ice cream, sandwich, pie, milk, and candy counters. A very satisfactory lunch may be had for a very moderate price. The kitchen is one of the prides of our school, with its most modern con- trivances for both cooking and washing dishes. T There is a force of about twelve women to cook and help in the lunch room and a force of nine boy and girl students to attend to the counters and serve at the cash registers. There are four paying tables, each with a cash register. Across the hall from the students' lunch room there is a teachers' lunch rooin, very similar to the students' in every way, with student helpers there, too. The directing of the lunch rooms is efiiciently and capably carried out by Miss Jackson, with the assistance of Mr. Webster and Mr. Mathias. Mrs. Crutchfield, the superintendent of school lunch rooms, is an able director who visits us approximately every two weeks. The lunches are deliciously cooked and there is a great variety of foods. That the cooks cannot be excelled, is one of the boasts of the school. The student helpers serve at both first and second lunches, and eat in the fifteen minutes between the two lunches. ' The beauty of the lunch room cannot be surpassed by any school. Large, airy and light, with fernery here and there, it affords a most pleasant dining room. Always it is kept extremely orderly, the tables in precise rows, the metal Work well polished, and with no scraps on the floor. All of the students enjoy and are proud of this room where they spend their jolliest times at East High. 1 JOSEPHINE MCNEILL, '21, 11871
