TWILIGHT IN THE PINE WOODS Long aisles wind where the twilight shadows creep, And dark the trees with tasseled bough of balm, And deep the odorous silence, like the calm, On drowsy uplands, when the breezes sleep. In dewless solitude, the dryads keep Some tender unforgotten tryst, when, from The copse, a red bird lifts his evening psalm, Whose slender treble, breaks the stillness deep. And now the dead wind wakes to life, a sigh, At first, like some low breathing undertone, Stirs the fringed tassels of each dusky tree, Then swellspthe wild gale o'er the darkening sky, And all the bending branches grieve and moan, Like sobbing waves upon a restless sea. ' ' CLARA M. WINSPEAR, '22 A REV ERIE I stood upon a hillock's crest With a stately city to the west. Those mighty structures pride had raised To heights that man himself was dazed, g I , Seemed only little boxes frail, . That might be crushed by the slightest gale. ' The streets with people were alive, f . Like a million bees about a hive, - Those great machines whose works enthrall, H Seemed little more than insects small, Moving fast and yet so very slowly. As I reflected on this sight, I seemed to know why stars at night Did twinkle so in pure delight And often weep and sadly sigh At foolish man's ambitions high, J His Vanities and follies. - MURIEL ELLIOTT, '22. 11881

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
