Priscilla sat down on a footstool to put on her shoes. She slipped one foot into a brown boot and quickly withdrew it. Putting her hand into the shoe, she brought out o a silver ring set with emeralds and pearls.

A game of football was going to be played in the afternoon. The cheering section were greatly aroused by the tricks of the school mascot, a monkey, pre- sented to the school by an alumnus. The game began and Dlocko, the mascot, came to sit beside Peggy and Ted, his 'favorites Ted was watching him when he pulled Gertrude's ring out of his pocket, and began to play with it. The explanation was simple. .locko had paid the girls a visit and taken whatever pleased him, then he had dropped some of the articles into Peggy's shoe. RUTH NTCLIEAN, '23. THE POLISHED THIEF It was a cold and bitter night in the middle of january, the snow had begun to fall in thesafternoon and before dark 'all traces of a road had been obscured from sight. About half past seven as the family were gathered around the dining room table reading, we heard sleigh-bells in the distance.

20 THE CRESCENT those dreaded woods. --Xs he entered them a Qiinilll was cast over everything' for no lllunllllglll could shine through tht-se close hranches. lit-r a short dis- tance nothing unusual hftppeticd to again excite 'l'oinmj. s fears hui siirl-lcnly as he turned a corner something' tall and white loomed up hefore his frightened eyes. It seemed lu he just outside the road. lt reminded Tommy strongly til- the ghosts he had seen at the party. Then it move'l a little lo one side, 'then to the other- he thought it came towards him. 'l'ommy's terror was so increased that he stood motionless in his tracks. At last he summoned courage enough to take a few steps forward. Nothing' happened. ile d'1red look at the ghost no longer and turning his head. he started to run. le had iust passed the place where he knew the ghost to he when he heard lioofstens close hehind. lle ran faster and still the footsteps pursued him. lle cared not look hehind hut kept straigfht ahead. XYhen he reached his l'ather's boor he quickly closed it. too exhausted lo heed anything else. The next morning Tominy, with sev- eral other hoys, passed through the same woeds. Tommy had planned when he reached the place where he had seen the gflnrst. to tell his companions of his adventure. To Tommy's surprise there stood a tall white hirch tree. Immedi- :1te'y Tommy realized the whole affair. The movements and footsteps must have heen his imagination. It had not been a ghost at all hut only a tree. M.xR1oN H.xNseoM, '24, CLASSES The Freshman as a rule are small, But some of them are very tall. Poor little things are very green But still they're not ashamed when seen. The Sophomores eome next in line, They dress and aet so very line, They try so hard their work to get, The smartest class L. A.'s had yet. The Juniors are so very proud Thty're always spotted in a crowd. Tl ey eomb their hair the latest style, And can he seen for nearly a mile. Tl'e Seniors how we hate to have go lYe'll miss them mueh as they all know, In their four years they've won great fame, YN'e're hopfng all will do the same. Aizcnz CHUBBUCK, '25,
