A real friend ’.Till go out of his way to help another, any neople show little courtesies ani do little things for others if it is easy to do so but they thirl: that they would gain nothing by going out of their way to be hind. Of course they are right in thinking that it- is not necessary, but they would gain something by doing it. I think they would have a feeling of having done something good. That is a fine feeling to have. Be a friend and find ou.b, Tebster says a friend is a person who has a special attachment for another. The next time you think you are a friend or think you have one, see if you have a feeling of affection for him. If you have the chances are that you are a friend he would like to have.

And feeling so lazy today, '•Vishing that school were over, And I were far away. My mind just seems to wander; For Shakespeare, I don't give a hoot, 7 hy didn't he write plain English? Oh! I'd like to give his book a boot. I think of the clear, cool water In the dear old swimming pool. And wish I were afishing And didn’t have to go to school. I have studied for eight long months And would like a little break; I'd like to tell the teachers To take a jump in the lake. Richard 'Teld '44 The Farm Life on a farm is all for me. To ride a horse and yell, .Thoopee . The horses to ’water, the cows to feed. Just call on me if it's help you need Melting snows and running brooks, Green grass and flowers new, Length'ning days and warmer nights, And birds will come then too. Robins, bluebirds, sparrows, wrens. And bobolinks there'll be. Spring will bring these birds to sing In onegreat melody. Spreading out in meadows new The dandelion will come. Peeping out in woodland vales Will be bright adder tongue. Here and there the signs of spring Will come and then they'll fade. Summer ones will take their place In field and woodland glade. Phebe 'Vestcott '45 I'll help you milk or spread the lime, I'll water the horses just all the time. I like to work on a country farm, ■•There work with play does you no harm. Marion ’.Test '43

5 Lone Tree Hill There is a lone tree That sits on a hill . It is ruSged from weather, But stands there still. Rugged from weather This lone tree stands, Swaying in the breeze, having its hands. By this lone tree There is a rill Which flows by The lone tree hill Robert Messier 45 The Kills Can you see through the eyes of of your mind, my hoy, The hills of your childhood home. The hills that will linger in your memory, No matter where you roam ? Those hills have stood for a million year3, And will stand for a million more. Tall, majestic, old as time. Untouched by tears, they soar. Before you ever went away To search for fun and thril’s. The scene that greeted your sight each morn Was the sun creeping e’er those hill Home You may have forgotten their stately form, Then the broad plains hide them from viev, But the same old longing will bring you back, To gaze on your favorite scenes anew So. rood-night, my boy, and good luck, Therever, roaming you may be, And when you lose the wanderlust Come back to the hills and me. Marjorie Weld ’44 At evening when frogs did endless pipe, And the birds had chirped a last good night, The moon oeeped out from behind the heights, And bathed them all in a soft cool light. V ermont When you carefully glance around It gives your heart a thrill, To see the lakes and mountain tops And many a little hill. When the ground is covered with snow. And white is all that’s seen. As the sun creeps over the moun- tain top It spreads a glistening sheen.
