PITY THE LATIN STUDENT A sophomore Latin student, I And this, I must confess, My tenses, they are all mixed up, Declensions are a mess My conjugations mali sunt' My adjectives are worse Of verb forms, I am Hignoratus To Latin I'm a curse When I translate a Latin phrase cry, O fiat lux But when no illumination comes, I lay aside my text Everyone makes mistakes, I'm told But my errors are so many, That I am quite depress d I guess that I had better stop Burdening you with my sorrow, And drag out the well worn Latin book, To start my lesson for tomorrow Dee Cicma, '49 DESERT SCENE The sand lay shimmering and white under the hot noon day sun Nothing moved across the wide stretches of sand, as far as the eye could see White fluffy clouds eased themselves across the azure blue sky Here and there a black spot in the sky would be seen drifting downward toward the sloping hills beyond Cactus and sage brush dotted the desertand tried to live on what water Mother Nature had given them A herd of cattle was slowly moving across the hot sand, leaving a thick cloud of dust behind and above them Their feet stamping the earth as if a storm were coring up Nancy Stafford, '49 D O N I U H F O I V!
