The conductor came through the car yelling, “Tickets, please,” and after some embarrassment she handed him her ticket. Soon after a train boy came into the car crying “Chewing gum.” Beatrice turned to her companion and said, “Goodness, do I have to give up that, too?”

14 THE ECHO “IF” If you can bravely face each awful midyear And risk your chances on an earnest try And flunk, and still believe your teacher dear And never kick or even breathe a sigh, If you can make your brain work when you’re tired, And get that Math, and French, and Eng- lish, too, And ever though they leave your comrad mired, Don’t let that same fate get its hands on you, If you can talk to friends and be a true one, Or meet the principal and know him, too, If you can know that all your work’s well done And all you have belongs to only you, If you can fill each fleeting study period With forty minutes worth of knowledge won, Then yours is the school, and all you find in it, And what is more, you’ll graduate, my son. Elizabeth Fulton, ’28. THE MAN IN THE MOON Oh, the man in the Moon is a sailor man bold, A sailor man old and wise; And he steers his beautiful craft of gold Through billowy couldy skies. He pilots his bark the long night through And glides between planet and star, And he knows where the current runs swift and true And just where the cloud rocks are. Yo-ho! for the man in the Moon so bold. He’s a mariner old and wise Who pilots his precious bark of gold Through the blue and silver skies. Maybelle Sears, ’28. Do it today and it will be done. Do not wait for another one. For it will never come. Do it today. Do not wait until your friends come. Do it yourself and it will be done. Do not say, “I’ll do it later.” Do it today. It isn’t too early yet, Use your brains and do it today. Do not say my friends will help. Do it yourself. Do it today. Francis Mack, ’30. MY OPINION There is nothing that’s equal to sliding down hill. When boys are together, Hurrah for cold weather! There is nothing like sliding down hill! A good game of ball is a capital thing To keep up one’s spirits, I think, in the spring ; When the wind is just right I like flying a kite ; I would make no objections to owning a gun; And in going out rowing there’s plenty of fun, And then, fishing is jolly when the fishes bite — But to take the year through, let them say what they will. There is nothing that’s equal to sliding down hill! To birds of my feather. Hurrah for cold weather! There is nothing like winter And sliding down hill ! Stanley Salter, ’28. A LITTLE TREE Dear little tree that we see today, What will you be when we’re old and gray? “The savings bank of the squirrel and mouse, For robin and wren an apartment house, The dressing room for the butterfly’s ball. The schoolboy’s ladder in pleasant June, The schoolgirl’s tent in the July moon. And my leaves shall whisper then merrily, A tale of the children who planted me.” Helen Townsend, 27. SPRING We’re thinkink now of Spring so near, Although old Winter still is here But when the snow is off the track. Your coat can hang upon the rack. Just toss your hat out in the hall, Grab your sweater, and then, — play ball. Your arm will get all stiff and sore, But never mind, just ask for more. Go out and win the old broad jump, Land on your head and raise a lump, Get your rackets and tennis net. We’re out to win this year, you bet! The track is soft with mud, and wet; But just keep on, and we’re all set, Perhaps you think this is a dream, But just you watch our new ball team. Robert White, ’28.

Isn’t that the prettiest structure you’ve ever seen With it’s red brick wall, and vines so green? THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club, formed the latter part of January for the benefit of the Jun- iors and Seniors, has been a decided success this year. The Club has had two afternoon parties, one on Saint Valentine’s Day, and the other on St. Patrick’s day. Both were well attended and enjoyed. At both parties Hazel Tibbetts, accompanied by Katherine McCool, rendered violin selections. At the St. Patrick’s day party Charles Dornan and Hazel Tibbets contributed some fine violin duets. Games fitting for the day were played. On St. Valentine’s day names were drawn and valentines given. Sandwiches and punch were served. On St. Patrick’s day the refreshments were In harmony with the occasion ; shamrock cookies and ice cream were enjoyed. Through the Commercial Club a speaker was obtained to address us pertaining to getting and holding a position in a business house. Mr. Wragg, who comes from the General Electric Co. in Boston, and od- tained for us by Mr. Roy Smith, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, gave a very in- teresting and extremely useful talk. I am very sure everyone got some helpful hints from his speech. On June 6, the Commercial Club is plan- ning to go on a hike to Weymouth Pond where we will spend a few hours as we plan to leave about four o’clock, bring our supper to cook, and return in the eve- ning. On the whole the newly organized Com- mercial Club with Dorothy Mann as Presi- dent and Helene Zoebisch as secretary has been successful this year and hopes to be more active in the future with the help of those who will take up the work. The work of Miss Collins and Miss Damon as our advisers has been appreciated by all the club members. We hope they have en- joyed this organization as much as we. Katherine McCool, ’28. MIDYEARS AT SUMNER Shall I ever forget the dark examination days When I puzzled o’er some History or per- haps a Latin phrase? When fate decreed that just the questions I’d ignored Should cover with triumphant air the whole front board? When I bit my fountain pen with a woeful puckered face And wrote nonesense just to fill some va- cant space? Dorothy Ahearn, ’29. Ruth E. Dyer, ’30.
