Alice Ryan, '32, Class Editor. TRANQUILITY LONG the horizon lay what appeared to be a quivering sea, where 'high waves chased each other from east to west. The real hills stood out as little islands in their midst, and the stumpy trees and bushes were magnified into vast forests. Haystacks and cornstalks were transformed into a street of palaces. The far-off tree tops seemed to be boats that crossed tlhe ocean. But as evening drew nigh, the scene changed to a symphony in color. Slowly the light dimmed, the -blue of the sky melted into red and gold. The evening star, lherald of -the moon, already twinkled above the horizong and a rainbow-like iridescence played over the fields. The trees had been stripped of their coverings by a recent wind and fros-t. They seemed to lean toward- each other, seem- ingly fragile in the fading liglht. The shadows crept more slowly across the sky like solitary horsemen. Presently, something began to show dark on the horizon, it was night. Alice Ryan, '32. SOME BIRD A little boy's essay on geese: A geese is a low, heavy-set boid which is mostly meet and featlhers. His head sits on one side and Ihe sits on the other. A geese can't sing much on account of damp- .ness of the moisture. He ain't got no be- rtween-hisetoes and he's got a little balloon on his stomach to keep him from sinking. Some gooses when they gits big has curls on their tals and is called ganders. Ganders 'don't haff to sit and hatch, but just eat and loaf, and go swimmin. If I was a goose, I 'd rather be a gander.
