THE VOICE 23 MY LITTLE CLOCK When dawn is breaking, My heart is aching, For it's then I realize, As I lie resting My clock's suggesting That I at once must rise. My little clock and I are friends, Until my morning nap he ends, And then he's most destressing, He'd be a pleasant little chap, If only he would let me nap Without the time a-guessing. Whexe'er I am, at work or play, 'I'ime's my companion day by day And I appreciate his warnings. And yet, I wish he would be still And not the air with clamors fill On sleepy, drowsy mornings. -Helen Swan, '40. 'I'EMPUS FUGIT We have a teacher, her hair is black, What do you know, she is sweet on Jack! She knows her English from a to zg She knows her Latin as well as can be. She teaches French, but knows the best Biology when it's always a test. 'I'here's one thing certain she'1l never do- 'I'hat's ring the bell when the time comes due. -Avery and Billings, '41. VOICES 'I'here's a call I hear in fancy, Whispering softly in my ear, When I know the trees are budding, And that laggard, Spring, is near. And I turn my head and listen From the South land where I roam: For the voice of old New England Is beckoning, COME HOME. -Coris Wright, '39, SAMBO'S BEAN Sambo mumbled an' Sambo groaned, 'Tse a planted de las butterbean I owned! I plant him shallow where de groun' wuz But dat ole butterbean jes' won't grow! Den, Howdy! one mawin' when de air wuz warm, Out o' ide groun' come a little green arm, With a crooked elbow and a funny han' An' somep'n shet tight in de flst-my lan'- An' a voice down under dat arm o' green Say, Shet up, Sambo! Heah's yo' bean! -Stetson White, '42.. THE FURNACE In our school we have a furnace, And, Oh! How it does smoke! Some days we study in earnest, And other days we choke. My eyes run like a rippling stream, Enough to float a raft, The tears run down the back of my neck As Austin opens the draft. As I went home from school one night, And I thought of another day, I teased my aunt with all my might That I at home might stay. -Raymond Bragdon. TEMPUS CEDIT Mr. Jones is an extra good guy, He'1l give you rank that is very high. He teaches Civics and Algebra too. When it comes to Physics the kids feel blue. He is always jolly and full of fun, But when he gets serious we feel that we're done. You take him all 'round and he's pretty swell, - He always remembers to ring the bell!
