EDITORIAL PAGE l»t M I V l ift is A Tested Recipe T : Cream together a disconsolate Student Body and a discontinued annual. Add a liberal cup of Alumni persuasion. Into the resulting combination, stir several staff meetings. Beat in a subscription campaign, preferably a more successful one than for several years. Pour into-a pan well-greased with close figuring and place on a limited budget to simmer awhile. Remove.'season with a few delays and set aside to cool for three months. Serve in May with a proud grin, calling it the 1934 1 OKA. “Ye Ed. Friend Oh, world, what miracle twas born in thee This . . . Thing . . . called Friend . . . To bless the earth with comfort keen To bathe a heart—refresh: . . . serene: To salve these wounds with mercy's mien; 'Tis proof of heaven's care: . . . a friend. . . Tho deep the cup with bitter woe: Tho drear and dark life's pathways show. This light of sympathy. I'll know, When I have found . . . . . . a friend. . . Sweet as clean blue sky 'twill be: Dainty; bud of deity: . . . Cup of bitter wormwood, e'en shall be. The draught of joy to me If I may share it all with thee,— ... my friend. . . Earth has no blossom more sublime. No ray of light so clear, divine. Or hope of joy, or paean of rhyme,— No sweeter gift of life, for mine. Ah: . . . May I call thee, . . . . . . Friend?” . . . Peggy Breitmayer, ’31. A Lark’s Song I was sad, for it was raining The drizzling rain of spring. But my heart soon stopped it’s crying When a lark began to sing. Alice Chapin. i dream . . . My spirit soars into a lovely creation. Suddenly I awaken to the sullen voices of the world. And paradise wilts as a dew-wet rose before a burning sun. Barbara Barnes. Spring is Youth Come hew the sills of wonder and rush rapidly to light before all ambitions fall asunder and success buds are in blight. Why fear the season’s parting? why fear the fading day? why ache when death is starting— spring will drive all sleep away. With spring comes the perpetual blood; the sap. dammed up so long, will wash the cob webs with its flood where the frets of time have gone. Frank Farmer. To a Pine Staunch, stalwart, straight you stand, A guardian grim o'er all the land. You give the traveler a shady retreat. And shelter the growing things at your feet. You provide a carpet fit for a queen, And please the eye with a touch of green Y our swaying boughs in the rollicking breeze. Create a lullaby some one to please. You battle the storms, a fortress supreme. Peoples pass on but you live for an aeon. Alberta Bigelow.
