P E - Pt DIETING TODAY? Whether dieting or not, the stretch between breakfast time and twelve thirty-five p. m. seems extremely long, and as a result, one is easily distracted from even the most important work by tantalizing odors from the kitchen. This distraction is very natural, for almost no normal person can keep her mind on one of Cicero's orations or a geometry theorem when the savory odor of vegetable soup reminds her that lunch is only a Iew minutes away. It is especially hard on the dieters, who have been living on lean meat and slenderiz- ing vegetables. To smell the delicious aroma of gingerbread, baked ham, scalloped potatoes, and other delectable fattening foods has more than once been the downfall of a dieter, who thinks to herself as she hurries down to the lunch room, l'll eat lunch today and resume my diet tomorrow. In other words, Never do today what you TO MY ENGLISH BOOK As I wandered through the library shelves All turned into a land of oblong elves Of green, crimson, rainbow, and azure hues, Novels, fiction, ballads, and current news, There in this wall of great literature lay My old poem book of a former day. As I held the small volume in my hand, I saw brief pictures from the poets' land. Many hours I'd spent with its written arts: Rosebuds, moonlight and aching hearts! Bluebirds, nightingales- nature on the wing q My thoughts with Wordsworth, Byron, Keats The Ancient Mariner came into view, Prisoners of Chillon were memories, too. Who could forget Ozymandias' woe. Or Sennacherib dashing toward the foe. I E can put oti till tomorrow. fMargaret Harrington XI still ring. All of these things have come back to me, With a charm that only your readers see: In beauty, it travels far and wide. Country to country, as the ocean tide. True, little book, your age is now showing, Your gold binding is faded and going, Though the gold outside may drop away, The treasures within you are there to stay. MOON LIGHT Into my lonely room. Dispelling all the gloom, Comes moonlight. The pines are so very tall, Yet over them all Comes moonlight. The brook reflects the moon, It does not know, that soon There shall be no night, lust light. Changing the peaks of snow, Making them softly glow, Comes moonlight. Bathing the spires oi towns, Smoothing away our irowns, That's moonlight. -lean Williams, X --Kaye Dorsey, XII MUSIC IN TI-IE NIGHT The resonant tones of music Flow through the room and into the night, Still and silent until now, Piercing it as a tiny silver dart would pierce a leaf. But with charm and beauty Abounding. And when the music stops, It leaves small fragments of tone Hanging in the air, Which seem to fall in chips and little pieces. Leaving a shattered silence there -Louise Kilbourne IX

Davis, Martyr, Ketrinq, Blickensderfer, Wing tl-lead of Councilj, Kassler tSecretarYl. Sweet, M. Bane. I-low grim and foreboding that council member looks, thought I, and at once I resolved never to venture the forbidden when within seeing distance of that frightening person. When- ever I saw this protector of the peace coming down the hall, I was sure she was pursuing me, cmd I put on my most angelic expression. Then one day, I saw this stern council member laugh-not just a smirk, but a healthy, vigorous laugh. I was thunderstruck! One noon I was persuaded to sit in the back row at a council meeting. I discovered that the members were really quite normal. They gave con- structive ideas tor keeping better order in the school rather than slaughtering the misbehavers one by one, as I had anticipated. The Head of the Council, Virginia Wing, encouraged friendly discussions. Though the faculty were not present because of Virginia's plan of faculty at- tendance only once a month, the meeting was surprisingly successful. By the end of the council meeting I was converted. I realized what a hard job they have to do and in what a com- petent Way they do it! -fl-Ielen Wallbank They govern with a fairness hard to find . . . They mingle sense with tact and calm of mind.
