My thoughts are like Duke’s Mixture; When evening comes around, My mother draws the curtains And shuts out every sound. She piles my books before me In columns straight and high; I always feel, behind me, Her anxious, watchful eye. 1'here stands my ancient hist’ry, My tattered science, too; The algebra and English— Gee! they’re a gruesome crew. My mind with definitions Is creaking ’neath its weight. My brain? It seems expanding Under its load of freight. 1 see a line of axioms Come crawling ’neath the door. And cunning little test tubes Go spinning o’er the floor. My soul, there’s Cleopatra! And Julius Caesar, too! And there goes William Shakespeare A’ floating up the flue. I fear I need a tonic; I want it good and sour. To chase away these callers From my quiet study hour. ' LITERARY CALENDAR (Confined form page 8) “Hello! Did you get into the Dramatic Club?” “Uh, Huh!” “Were there many up there?” “Uh, Huh!” “Say, will you please take that gum out of your face and talk to me?” “Uh, Huh!” “Aw, be a sport! You can get on my nerves the worst. I want to know what they did. I couldn’t learn my stuff, so I backed out.” “Huh, you turned yellow, didn’t you? Well, it was this way: The different scenes and the ones doing them were called out in turn by Mr. Cook, and, believe me, I felt pretty nervous when I had to walk up on that stage before the bunch of kids. I thought to myself, ‘Brace up, old boy; this is where you go in for dramatix. Be nice, now, and give your little spiel; it won’t take long.’ That sounded nice and cheery, but, say, those minutes dragged by like hours. I was all feet. They got mixed up considerably, and nearly spilled me into the FF.ET-LIGHTS. I struck a pathetic pose and began as follows. I mean I thought I’d begin as follows, but the words stuck. I was confident from the start that I’d never be an actor man. In some miraculous way, however, I finished midst the roaring applause of the multitude. Yes, I did, too. I retired gracefully with a sweeping bow and almost swept up the steps. But what cared I? My speech was over and awaiting the decision of the judges. But, to come back, I’m positive that the club will be a success. We are to meet every Thursday night from 7:15 to 8:00. They are going to put on a play Christmas week and the big senior play in the spring. “You ought to have been there. Why didn’t you learn your lines? It wasn’t half as bad as I expected. Think of all the practice we’ll get. That uneasy feeling will vanish as does the daylight. See, I’m launching on my career already. Oh, I’m strong for the Dramatic Club, aren’t you?” “Uh, Huh!” 15
