THE GLEAM 11 THE MORNING SKY It was early morning in June. Everything for miles around was quiet and still, save the unceasing ripple of the waves against the shore. Far out upon the horizon the sun was rising out of the deep sea and sending golden rays of light through the eastern sky. By the water’s edge stood a boy alone. His purpose for coming to this spot was to seek relief from his discouragement, and there he stood motionless, enchanted by the mar. ••nimiq beau tv of th » “fiomno me i ore head ot the morning sky, BIRTIE POINDEXTER. ’24. -------------------------------------------------------» By the Shore of the Sea Stood a Boy Alone Not so long ago there was a revolution among the people in a certain strip of land between Austria and Italy. Some of the people in this section wanted Italian rule; some wanted Austrian rule; some wanted home government. In all this • strife, Henry lost his parents. For many days he wandered, always keeping within the boundary of his government. He finally came to the only port of his country. He found himself very hungry and cold. That night while standing alone by the sea. he heard a small motor boat. On investigation, he found that two men were loading it with cases of—Henry knew not what. One of the men spoke to him in this manner, “Do you want a job. son?” There was only one reply for Henry—Yes.” The motor boat made about six more trips out to an old ocean liner. On reaching it for the last time, the captain asked; “Why didn’t you leave that boy ashore? Too late now. He will have to go with us to America.” Henry was not unhappy, he was content to seek a new land—even on a whiskey runner. BURT ALLEN DOUGLAS HARGRAVE. ’24.

10 THE GLEAM Something Beautiful if 4« t! One day a teacher asked the members of her classes to write “something beautiful.” Do you think the following pupils succeeded? GOD’S HANDIWORK. For who is so unminoiux Of the handiwork of God, That he cannot see, any night, In the thousands of shining lights From the innumerable plants of this great city. An expression of His majestic power? EVELYN BARRETT, '25. AT CLOSE OF DAY The great red Sun sinks In the golden West; All the western sky is covered With fading colors; The clouds are tinged with colors Of the rainbow; The grandeur is beyond the words Of human tongue. For the day is dying In the West. And Night is At hand. JOHN FLAUTT. '25. AN AUTUMN SUNSET. The idle trees sway in the gentle wind, While the call of the birds and the forest blend; The setting sun casts a crimson glow through the trees, While the coming of darkness is felt in the breeze. HUDSON SHUMATE, '25. TIIE SONGS THAT MOTHER SINGS. Olden songs my mother sings. Songs of long ago, None can sing the same old songs, As mother, soft and low. Famous singers I have heard, Singers from across the sea; None can sing the sweet old strains Such as mother sings to me. ELIZABETH LOVETT, '25.
