HAND IT IN If you have a bit of news .Hand it in. Or a joke that will amuse, Hand it in. An incident that’s true Or a story that is new, Hand it in. We want to hear from YOU. THE FROSH CLASS Oh what a class this has grown to be! (At least by the way it appears to me), They make senseless chatter, the livelong day And bother each other in every way. If your statement drops in where it doesn’t belong They do everything to show you’re wrong, And make hissing sounds and titter and giggle And scrape their feet, and sneer and wriggle. And when you’re trying to concentrate, They do a trick that’s really hate! They madly wave their arms about And help make you answer wrong—no doubt. And yet sometimes they’re really nice By helping you out once or twice But with their answers you’ll have no success They’ll tell you the wrong one out of onreyness. They like the teachers pretty well And generally get along swell. They have ups and downs—and rise and fall, But Gee! They’re great pals after all. M. E., ’34 AAAAAAAAA A. A. -A. 4» A. Jk, M.

V ▼ ▼ T TT1 T'T 4 Freshman THE Considers Her English OBJECT OF “TO BE” 1 In the land of Grammar, there is a king Whom we shall call “To Be”. His courtiers are “Is”, “Was” and “Were” And they’re real important, you see. In the very same land there also lives The “Object” family, too. They are subjects of the king But not very loyal, it’s true. A foolish “Object” one sunny day , Went strolling down the street, And saw coming right his way— Why! Whom do you think he’d meet? It was none other than King “To Be” His courtiers all with him too, But the foolish “Object” passed them right by Without ever a “How-do-you-do”. The king, of course, was quite annoyed, That his subject should be so rude But this was a trick that the “Object” enjoyed Especially when in the mood. He met the king right face to face, Without speaking or anything. It is, you know, much out of place To go before a king. “Seize him!” the goodly king cried out; Mr. “Am” did as he said. It frightened the “Object”, no doubt, When up to the king he was led. The king told him, “You’ve done great wrong And your penalty shall be, To forever stay where you belong And be just a subject to me.” And so an “Object” must stay in place, By the help of you and me. By using it after other words But never after “To Be”. Marian Erskine, 14. a. PAGE TWENTY-SIX
