Magnolias ope their waxen beauty on The broad green campus of our E. N. C., And drop their petals fair like large white pearls To blow away as airy bubbles flee. The trysting tree with all its rustic charms Beguiles and lures the casual passers-by, Their secrets hears, and then, in rustling glee, Repeats them to the blue and bending sky. To wander where the gay twin dogwoods stand And see their blossoms pink and milky white, One leaves behind the iris and the rose, The lilacs and the lily cups of light, While on the scented air a truant strain Of harmony occasionally will swell Down from the chapel old, and then a burst Of laughter like the music of a bell. But stronger far than flower's fragile grace, Serenely pure the radiance from each face- A holiness, a quiet majesty. Dear Alma Mater, from your hallowed halls The light of wisdom shines, and love's humility. -M . H.S

White-pearled snow, We do not love you just because you come When roses fade, and autumns sunny gold Has crumbled to a melancholy brown, And all We have is Winter, bare and gray. Nor just because you come so quietly And lay a silver mantle over all Those places where the purple violets gushedg Yourself more lovely in your spotless white Like downy wings of snowbirds, softly flushed By sunset skies that kiss a dying day. Nor yet because your shining softness gleams With myriad dancing stars and fairy lights, And you have woven cobwebs in the trees Of lacy fabric. There is something more That to our hearts your quiet beauty brings Than all of these. It is because We see in you the gentle touch of God Clothing our tired earth in perfect peace. H.S
