Q. POETRY 77 MUSIC RUTH HADLEY. 3SI Soft strains of a Venetian waltz Drift me into a dream Of gondolas and sweet romance, While poling down the stream. The Frenchman sings a love song, It ends like this: Je t'aime , What should end that way but a love song- And Frenchie to sing the rhyme? The Hutes of Morocco's streets Blare forth in the noon-day sun, While Arabs on their jet black steeds A journey have just begun. Weird dances to scare away devils, The tom tom beats the timeg India's natives cleansing their soul From an unearthly sort of grime. Hawaiian guitars strum off a tune, While waves beat on the shore, The music seems to end so soon When I want more and more. as -If me THE SONG OF THE WIND KATHLEEN TWYNN, 3C A soft sweet, harmonious thing Is only the song that the wind can sing, Now loud, now soft, as though it came From an unknown land of an un- known name, Where fairies weave their magic spell, And where the unknown chanters dwell, Re-echoing, through the wandering wind A glorious anthem of a mystic kind. Sixty-eight Like the delicate scent of a rose in spring Is the song that only wind-songsters sing, Soothing a weary suEerer's pain, Lulling a baby to sleep again. It diverges like a tolling bell, Emerges as an ocean quell, Fading mysteriously as it came To that far-away land without-a-name. ar if if WINTER HAZEL FLEMING. 3C The days are short, Bare are the trees, No longer blows The autumn breeze. The sky is dark, The clouds are grey, 'Tis the sign of a storm Upon its way. And now the snow falls Soft and light, Covering the earth With a blanket white. Listen! Hear the wind Whistling through the eaves, . Rustling all the brown, Late autumn leaves. The babbling brook And the old mill pond Are held in the clutch Of old winter's bond. Oh! thou dreary winter The time of ice and snow When the cold North Wind Doth cruelly, coldly blow. - EASTERN ECHO

PAGE 4 THE BULLETIN The Bit's in Our Teeth! WOWZAH, Folks! The Bulletin gives you all the news before it happens. If you can't de- cide what to wear, just look for the fashion re- view contributed by Mis- Fit. If you want to stretch your means to take in the show, consult the financial section conducted by Mr. Shystro. If you're sick after seeing your last exam marks, dive into the health column of Dr. Passout. Perhaps you are one of those who dislike publicity and if so, you had better send in a substantial sum and if you really would like to have your name in this sheet, send in the fee also, if you don't we won't mention you unless you don't want us to, and if We don't we're likely to and-well, anyway, send in the contribution. In case of libel suits send any size suit, all favors thankfully received. Homework Becomes the Rage 1Continued from page Il you with minor details, for this complicated mech- anism, which was con- structed only with the help of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the Binomial Theorem and an Inter- locking Jig-Saw Puzzle, is not for the understanding of laymen. The contrivance we speak of is the result of years of research by the Association for Advance- ment of Idle Hours. In short, a Homework Robot. When interviewed by The Bulletinfs own squand- ering reporter, and to whom immediate credit for the invention goes, EASTERN ECHO l i 1 1 I I Q 1 1 l l 1 1 i l iuiuil vi' 1 11 ll lil fill Ill! lm iw in I l lil 1111 111 5 ni W l ll11y 111 Q 1, ,I U' :'?.f 11 Q . .xi A l'.X to ' b . 1 li 1 ' 1 -1 r o O 1' nu ,UQ QS? 5. -ff S' Au Revoir +o Miss Spence William D. Ment, presi- dent of the Association, said: My brain waves usu- ally arrive periodically, but this one surprised me. It was after a sleepless night, with my brain reel- ing from fatigue, think- ing, thinking of excuse after excuse for not hav- ing my homework done, when this idea smote me with the force of a thund- erbolt. Coming out of a daze, I sprang out of bed clad only in a night gown and immediately set to work constructing the fig- ment of my imagination. And the result-the Home- work Robot. Even a child can work it. All he has to do is give the Robot instruc- tions and then go out for the evening. In the mean- time, while he is enjoying a movie, the Robot is working hard. On his re- turn the student finds all his homework done and neatly written in his own hand in the note book. No problem is too hard for my Life Saver, which I later named Robot, no composition too intricate. Needless to say, The Bulletin believes that Mr. D. Ment's invention will 1 1 l l 1 revolutionize educational systems of both hemis- pheres. No longer will students rack their brains for excuses after not do- ing homework, but rather will try to inveigle the teacher into giving them more, more, more. Children cry for it, but students will beg for it. We can picture the inces- sant vociferations arising from students clamoring for more homework, more, more, more. Henceforth homework will be strictly a pleasure. And the day is not far off when ten- year-olds will have the prepossessing initials B.A. after their youthful sig- natures. As for me, concluded Mr. D. Ment, I am a benefactor to humanity. Wealth and fame are already pouring in on me from all sides. My name shall go down in history's Hall of Fame beside such famous figures as Sir Isaac Newton, Pasteur and Bing Crosby. fEditor's Note:-This was all our reporter could get since he had to rush home and try to get that ?8t53i2 170?!!! statement to balance.Q i unit Hum mm mmm 'heat Sixty-seven
