Freshman Firstlings In this, our Freshman number, we have devoted a page to freshman compositions. The January, and not the February sections are given. below. HOW TO APPRECIATE MUSIC If you are going to an orchestra concert, you must know how to listen to the musie. In the first place, do not go to watch the leader “heating the air with a stick,’’ but to learn how necessary music is. All music tells a story. Shut your eyes, and if the piece is a furious one imagine that you are on a ship during a great storm. You will hear the thunder, and the waves dashing against the ship. With a soft, soothing melody, you can picture a mother putting her baby to sleep. Chopin wrote a prelude which is sometimes ealled the ‘‘Raindrop Prelude,’’ due to tne fact that while at a friend’s house rain began to fall. He sat down at the piano and imi- tated the dropping of the rain, and the sub- dued roar of the thunder. Exert your imagi- nation, but not foolishly, and you will dis- cover in music a precious jewel which you hitherto have not known. EvGene Stewart, 2101. A REAL THRILL—AND SPILL My most thrilling experience occurred night before last. The recent heavy snow has been ideal for sleigh riding. There is a very precipitous road in Benning called Ridge road. This road is where we do most of our sleigh riding. The hill is about a mile long with a sharp turn at the bottom. This turn causes all the trouble. Few sleigh rid- ers are able to make it. I started out, and in about six seconds, I was going like an arrow. It only takes about a minute and a half to get to the bottom of this hill, and when I was near the bottom I saw trouble coming. I dragged my feet, but this did not help much at the speed I was going. By and by I reached the bottom and started to make the turn, but it was im- possible. The first thing I knew I was flying Frsruary, 1925 The KASTERNER TINE ee Pace { “AsHiNGTON © Their efforts appear, head first over the snow and finally turned a somersault into an extra large snow drift.’ When I emerged from it, I looked like any ordinary snowman that children like to build. Strange to say, I wasn’t hurt very much, outside of scratching my arms and face all up and receiving two black eyes and a twisted ankle. I finally managed to hobble over to my sled and saw that the runners were broken and the guider was smashed. The next time I come down Ridge road I am going to find some soft spot when I fall off. Ricwarp SparrovueH, 2181. SOMETHING I LIKED One morning, as I was about to cross a busy traffie corner, I saw something I liked. It was a little thing, which, perhaps, was noticed by only a few others, yet I am sure that they appreciated it as I did. A little dirty, frightened poodle was try- ing to eross the street, but was afraid to cross in front of the constant stream of automo- biles. Twice he tried, but each time ran back to the sidewalk, with a little yelp. As he stood there, a little dubious about the safety of a third attempt, a small boy came up the street, ragged and forlorn, like the little dog. He picked the dog up, and, holding him in his arms, safely threaded his way in and out the swiftly moving vehicles. They parted on the opposite corner, the dog going one way and the child the other. They probably never met again. But what mattered that few people saw the little act? Kind deeds need not even be noticed, save by those who are benefited, but their value is the same.
