THE ACADEMY BELL LEND A HAND. O, say, did you ever stop to think, There are others worse off than you? Or do you say in your selfish way Well, what am I going to do? When you see a fellow who's down and out, And who thinks the whole world is wrong, Don't pass by, and say, Gee, I'm glad it's not me. , Lend a hand and help him along. If you notice a fellow who's deep in the mud, Help him to put up a fight. You'll find in the end, nine times out of ten, That at heart he is really white. Try forgetting yourself for a little while, What I'm going to say is true. You'll soon understand, that by lending a hand You've been helping yourself along, too. MILDRED MERRILL, '20.

The report of a gun, a huge spray of water and there was one less German mine in the Atlantic. A few minutes after the explosion of the mine, the troop ship George Wash- ington hoisted a signal man over- board. The George Washington being last in the column left us to let the man drown or pick him up. ln the war zone it was not the custom to stop for men that fell over the side, but our Captain gave the order to swing the ship. and launch a life boat. The order was obeyed and the man rescued, but unfortunately he had drowned before we could reach him. I-Jur convoy cruised for five more days. not seeing a Submarine but exploding several mines. The day that we were to turn our convoy over to boats from Brest, France, one of our propellers worked loose and was lost. We,then turned our command over to the North Carolina, and after giving them orders turned our helm homeward. HENRY lil. l'lURl,lN, '21, Seaman Signalinan lst Class, U. S. N.
