Air NATLONAL DEFENSE raids and blackouts - that's all we hear, watch out for a bomb that may come near. Red Cross, Reliefs, First Aid, and others - These are the things in which we are brothers. How long this will last no one can tell - The roar of a bomb and the blast of a shell. But surely someday there will be a release, And then all the world will live on in peace. Dorothy Bobbe, '42 GRADUATES OF FORTY TWQ Graduates of forty two -- Of the boys, there are but few. Doubling the score, the girls have eight, Three of them are always late. They call themselves the musketeersg Pals they've been through all their years. Rosalie and Rene -- so close they stay, You find them together in work or play. Helen, Dot, and Jean always in on the fung when they hear laughter they come on the run Hank and Frank study so hard, It's easy to see which one is the card.

His banal speech did not impress The blackguard in the rear, Whose bacchanalian tendencies Had banished bourgeois fear. So he in cogent words declared The first to captious be, And furthermore a charlatan Given to calumny. This diatribe caused much dispute, Made all there so distrait His deleterious language They did not deprecate. The forthright first man then arose To fulminate against This fatuous thing that dared to bring Fallacious arguments. Oh, hapless one, you've much to fear, Your halcyon days are o'er. Hallucinations such as yours Brought heinous ends before. Inconsequential this may sound, Yet incubus it gave, Creating the inhibition Causing an insurgent's grave.
