The high school girl should wear low heeled shoes and stockings - lisle or service weight hose are splendid for long wear and appearance. But ankle socks are meant for sport wear and, wttlr- fehe- exceptrir»»- tthe smaller girls of the freshman and sophomore classes, should not he worn without stockings in the school room. The.high school girl may wear a coat of tweed or camel's hair , some- thing not too dressy but more on the sporty side. For a hat she wears a felt,or a skull cap made of swede; and she carries a small bag in which to keep her compact, pen, and pencil. Most high school girls can keep pretty close to these standards if they try.

Some folks cover the paper with lead To keep theix fam'lies and earn their bread. But I? Pray why do I write? For fun? Oh,no. Just to get my English done. Wayne Mullen '40 Spring Spring is here and winter has passed, Now we are through with snow at last. Bringing forth its sun and showers, Thrilling hearts and opening flow'rs; Song birds fly back to build their nests Filling our hearts with happiness.

5. A County Fair Surely, it was a countv fair, With people darting here and there To get a glimpse of rubber men, Who get knocked down and rise again. They saw with Joy the riding girl Stand on her horse and whirl and whirl; Then, quickly Jumping to the ground She left the horse still running round. When, seeing nearly all the shows, Down to the race tracks they did go To watch the horses run the race , At a successful speedy pace. Then noisily they left the stand With music of the rag-time band; •ndn drifting slowly from the fun Went home again with setting sun. Ruth Harrison '39 He roamed through the woods alone. With a sad and lonely heart. For soon he would be left alone - From his loved one he must part. Not long had they played together. Having such heaps of fun. Never minding the rainy weather. And now, all this - undone. Wanda West '40 A Modern Nursery Rhyme Sing a song of sick sense. Body full of rye. Roaring down the highway; Then he wondered why - He had the car wide open. And couldn't see a thing . Isn't that a dainty dish That booze and gas can bring? Kathaleen Ploof '40 Spring The veil of winter lifts, and lo! Out from the folds, austere and white. There steps a creature of delight. With youth and radiant hope aglow. She bears a promise in her hand; And life, the quickened blood of a»th. Soon chants the miracle of birth. As spring breathes softly o'er the land.

If I should go to the hotel, I would be followed all the time by bell boys, clerks, or maids trying to make sa e me more comfortableK with, Is there anything I can do for you? and a look of I wonder how large a tip I'll get for doing it for you I dislike this intensely. But if you like to be waited on and are able to Ignore the how - much - will - you - pay - me look for every little service. I'll grant you full speed ahead to the hotel.
