I KNOW AMERICA WILL SING I know America will sing, That mothers will sing because Their sons are home, That sweethearts will be happy for War is no more, But peace is forever. Sisters and brothers will sing once more For now there is something to sing for. For fields then will be - Bright and green and red with flowers, Not red with the young blood Of our finest men of america. Churchbells will toll over the world again The merchant will sell his wares again, not kncwing Or caring for a noise from the skies. June again will be June, fairest of all months, Time of earth?s fullest beauty, y Then, I know America will sing. , I Anita Walls '44 'SPHINGU I looked out of the window, it was but a while 980, And there I saw the daybreek, its clean face all aglow. , The spring has come, I know it, for I feel it in my'b1ood, For I've seen the buds a sprouting, and birds lmilling 'round as a flood. I walked about the hillside, and heard mother nature confess, That hers was a land of beauty, which God and man did bless. , A There too, I saw the mayflowers, and the crocus nod their heads. I They had just waked up from their winters sleep, and were now getting out of bod. Again the spring has conquered, again the winter lslain, I've looked about for signs of it--my searches all in vain. Winfred Joy, Jr. '44 - 2O in

When this happens Mr. Kelley says, UIt's easier to mark the present than the absent I guess. ' But all together they're a pretty good bunch, When you can't get a problem they'l1 give you a hunch. Hugh Smallidge '44 A SOUVENIR I found them inl a book last night, These withered violets. A reminder of an early love, That one never forgets. 1 You know what tricks memory plays, With all our long past fun? These flowers remind me of a boy, I wish I knew which one.
