Countryman and also the Fellow who Dramatized Shakespeare. A School Paper A school paper is a great invention, The school gets all the fame, The printer all the money, The staff gets all the blame. We editors may toil and workg And work and toil some more: There's always some poor ? to say I've heard that joke before. Appreciation Some people in this good old town Appreciate our work and cares: And give us cuts and lines to print To advertise their wares. They do it to help along, And keep us free from debtg We never will forget them, Who gave these lines to set. And in the future, brothers, We'll not neglect the trust: But try to do to others As we'd have them do to us. Your Life Life is like unto a ilower 'I'hat, shrinking from the blasting storm Fearfully awaits the dreaded hour When all the world its death shall mourn: Or 'neath the Sun's inspiring rays, Shall lift all hearts in songs of praise. Just so by good and noble deeds, Your life a torch that all men leads. But, if wicked, sordid, life has been, Oblivion's prison shuts you in. So make the most of God's great gift Avoid the base and love the true And when the darkening shadows lift, There will be a high reward for you. -J. E. M 27 Senior's Song fTune of Prisoners Song? Oh I wish I were now a freshman To begin all over again. I would enter all sports and studies And be a success in the end.

But what are we, the youth of 1927, doing to per- petuate the fine arts of life? Apparently, chivalry is dy- ing out among us. Filial obedience and respect are gradu- ally becoming extinct, or if still alive, are so twisted out of their ordinary shape as to be quite unrecognizable. Everyday acts of courtesy are falling into disuse. The rights and privileges of others no longer are considered, chivalrous self-sacrifice is becoming a thing of the past, a virtue to be respected, but not acquired. It is gradually surrendering its famed place to the twentieth century motto, Every man For Himself. Unless a modern Renaissance is developed by the youth of today, things that make life fine will suc- cumb to the great onrush of materialism. It is, of course, necessary that we prepare ourselves to fight the battle of life, that we enter the ranks of those pushing forward to secure place, and power, and wealth. But it is infinitely more necessary that we be truthful, sin- cere, courteous, and self-sacrificing if we are to preserve that chivalry which animated the glorious past of our ancestors and which alone can make our descendants and the future of America fine, beautiful, and worthwhile. --Edward Murray. College and Health Who is there who does not want to be healthy? In olden days, it was quite the thing to be dainty narcissus but today the healthy, vigorous girl is the type that is admired: The regular training in the gymnasium, the boats on lake and river, the tennis courts, the golf links, the basket ball, the long walk through the woods in search of botanical and geological specimens, all have a rightful place in the well-ordered day. A statistical in- vestigation in this country shows that the standard of health is higher among women, holding college degrees, than among any other class. This formula was once noticed in a college freshman's room, Sickness is careless- ness, carelessness is selfishness, and selfishness is sin. -Lucille O'Shea. It,s Up to Us Because the world is overcrowded with a number of easily earned positions, the average mind is content to A depend on one-third of its natural intellectual ability. Yet, the nation calls for men. And the best educated men of today were not made so because of their natural ability fphsychologist not with standingb. There are in the world all kinds of people, big and little, dull and brilliant, honest and dishonest, capable and inefficient, industrious and lazy, enthusiastic and discouraged, selfish and unselfish, who occupy space. Does the type of mind determine the eventual position? Decidedly not! Men sometimes are masters of their fates. The fault is not in our 'stars' But in ourselves that we are underlingsf' -Roy M. Bater. A Tree Many a tree is found in the wood, And every tree for its use is good: Some for the strength of the grounded root, Some for the sweetness of flower or fruit: Some for the shelter against the storm, And some to keep the hearth-stone warmg Some for the roof, and some for the beam, And some for a boat to breast the stream. Whenever we look at a tree, we should think that it has gifts for us. If they are not wood or food, shade or shelter, they may be one of a long list of other good things we need in our every day life. Trees are such common place things that we often overlook their full service to us. Trees make a great contribution to the world's beauty. They pay beauty dividends every day, no place is complete without them. A home without trees is charmlessg a road without trees is shadelessg a park without trees is purpose- lessg a. town without trees is cheerlessg a country without trees is hopeless. Trees give us shade and shelter. Beneath their friendly branches, man finds refuge from the scorching sun and angry winds. Today, as in past ages, man seeks the shade of friendly trees to Write and enjoy what others have written. Some of the worlds' greatest thoughts were born in the soft shade of friendly trees. Whenever I see trees shading occupants of benches in our city parks, as they shelter the lambs that gather at their feet in pastures, I think of their friendliness. -Mildred Hefler.
