7 In the pasture we chased the calves until we finally caught them; then we started home, Melvin had the hardest calf to lead. She would not start , and when she did start she would not stop. So we exchanged. This calf was something like a model T Ford, because I had to get in back and push, and when that didn’t work I had to get in front and pull. Then she would start all of a sudden and head for the bushed. '.Then we met a car she jumped into the ditch as far as possible ( pretty nice of her). About half way down quite a steep hill she flung me down and dragged me back up ( probably saying to herself, Come on up and try it again ).Meanwhile Melvin had reached the foot of the hill. I don't know-how I ever made the bend at the Bottom of the hill,After I passed Melvin she went fine until she started a war dance. This dance was not quite like the others because she went around in circles until I was so dizzy that I fell down. Then she stopped to look at me as if to say, Come on. Can’t you take it? V7e arrived home about 6:30 , and I tell you It was worth more than the dime I was given. I sometimes go over to Melvin's house and help him with the calves, and there she is. She'll look at me as if to say, '.7ant another ride ? Rene Durenleau ’ 45 Isolation A small, squat hut, crouching in the shade of a tall pine, the monarch of the forest, gives a picturesque scene. Its brown logs, chink- ed with clay, show signs of wind, rain, snow, and sleet. At one end stands a crude rock chimney from which a lazy whisp of smoke gets its view of the place. A pair of hides are stretched and placed on the wall near the door. A canoe, the trapper's way to civilization, is drawn up on the pebbly beach of the meandering stream. The stream flows close to the cabin and its gurgle and swish are the only sounds to be heard , except for the birds and the breeze which gently stirs the trees and flowers to a faint rustling. D. Gates '43 A Slight Uproar Miss Tabby sat neat the fireplace warming herself. She was pur- ring contentedly, having just satisfied her appetite with a saucer of warm milk. Now Miss Tabby°was a petted and pampered cat. '.That happened next much ruffled her feline dignity, T Into the room bounced a small, black, bright eyed spaniel, wiggling jumping, and rolling about. Being very angry at this intrusion into her peaceful domain. Miss Tabby stood up and emitted a long hiss. The puppy, deciding she wanted to play, jumped over to her and tried to nip her. This was too much for kitty. Humping her back so that every hair stood on end, she flew at the pup. '.Tondering what had happened he backed away, licking his poor little nose. As soon as he had backed into the kitchen, Miss Tabby resumed her position by the fire, and started smoothing down her ruffled fur and feelings. , ,. . Marjorie Ueld '44

% Shadov s cf the Past It was dusk in ancient Egypt, land of the mystic past. The sun 7as slowly sinking, casting grotesque shadows o’er the western sky. Shedding rays of many hues on the landscape far and wide. A shadow fell on the vaulted porch where the ruling Pharaoh lay, dressed In the rich raiment of the East, subject to neither man nor beast, But free to love or hate alike. The fan bearers stir the sultry air, as the mournfully sweet notes Of the piper's flute cast their cadence on the laden breeze. But now the scene has nearly past; the flutists cease; The last rays linger on the summit of each pyramid tomb - Then all is gone.
