GARFIELD CLUBS Garfield has many interesting and popular clubs. We wish to thank the teachers who have been so kind in sponsoring these clubs, for if it were not for them we could 'not have our clubs. Some of the clubs were so popular that they had to divide them into two clubs. Many interesting subjects are offered. The purposes of the clubs vary, but they have this in common, better citizenship and education. l 'f THE ART CLUB, sponsored by Miss Mally, has a membership of twenty-nine.

HAIL APOLLO! Hail to Apollo! Hail, Oh Hail! You bring the light that cannot fail. We offer praise to thee all day, Who hold the light that guides our way. From Mount Olympus' craggy hills, From streams, from valleys, rocks and rills, We thank thee for thy healing power, With each and every passing hour. Help the young men to be strong, Guide them from all ill and wrong. You bring the light that cannot fail. Hail to Apollo! I-Iail, Oh Hail! DOROTHX' DAXZIDSON, H igh N inlh. TO HIM NVHO DARED Ah yes, his courage was strong enough To defy the wind-swept ocean! As high o'er its barren winderness, He skimmed with dizzying motion. He was the first who dared to do That thing for which we know him, How well deserving Lindbergh is, Of all the love we show him! FRANCES LEONA COLBY, Low Sczfcnfh. MY ALARM CLOCK I have a new alarm clock, It's very line indeed, I never have to wind it up, And still there is no need To worry that it won't go off, For these fine days of spring, A hundred birds sing out to me, Get up, you lazy thing! ALICE DALRYMPLE, High N inth. MY MOTHERS HANDS My mother's hands are cool and fair, They can do anythingg Mercies delicate hide there, As flowers do in spring. When I was small and could not sleep, She used to come to me, And with her hand upon my cheek, How sure my rest would be. All this was very long ago, And I am grown but, yet, The hand that lures my slumbers so, I never can forget. BETTY ANDERSON, High Seventh. SPRINGTIME The little fly is first of all To leave his cranny in the wall, And with his busy buzzing wing, Proclaim the coming of the spring. NVC hail the maple on che lawn, For signaling that winter's gone. The violet's pioneering ways, Wie greet with plentitude of praise. But the fly that comes with buzzing cheer, Announcing that the spring is here, We either feed with poisoned water, Or else we smite him with the swatter. JOHN CAVE, Low Eighth .QB,s,, I think that I shall never see A grade as lovely as a B,,' A B whose grace will let us rate The grades we need to graduateg Fools make D's and F's each day, But only Profs. can make an UA. f GEORGINA CAPSER, Low N inth.
