It was a marathon. He who was best Would win. The great mob watched and cheered them One man, named Alexander, was a Greek. His face was smiling and his strides were long. He reveled in the glory of the race, And running, thought of the applause of men. He gained the approbation of the crowd. The other, named Colin, had come from the North. And tall, he was, and fair, a giant man Who with a resolute determination Ran steadily and did not heed the noise. The cheers for him soon turned to groans, for he Was far behind the Greek who ran so fast. But Alexander, as the race progressed Found that his wind was taken by his speed, And soon fell back. The other forward came. The watchers then began to cheer for him Whose name was Colin, and who came abreast His rival, now outmatched. He still forged on. The Greek had failed: his start had been too swift For him to keep, and now his race was lost. The throng in highest glee with praise did shout. For him who steadily kept on with eyes That looked ahead and planned. On he ran Not hearing how the crowd applauded him. He crossed the line-the victory was his. To him belonged the wellfrun race, To him belonged the tribute of the crowd. The world will always love the man who wins. And now at last we find we too are in The marathon of life, then let us all remember To keep our minds upon the goal we seek, And heed not passing fancies, nor falter Until at last we earn the right to rest And listen to commendatory words.

Talisman Rose, Fifteen LEE HIGH 1933 SALUTATION Friends: A certain man invested heavily in a supposedly good stock. His invest' ment pleased him for he thought it was a perfectly safe and paying proposition. A few weeks later he received a notice to the effect that the company in which he had invested had gone bankrupt and that his stock was worthless. His money was gone, and all that he had left to show for it was a bundle of worthless stock certificates. An education can also be considered as an investment. When a student enters high school, he is willing to invest his time and energy, and in return to receive an education. But unlike other investments, it is one which cannot fail. It is something that is good forever because it is compiled and stored in our brains and is not en' trusted in other men's hands. Furthermore, an education is a good investment and one that every boy and girl should make because in our day and age it is a vitally important factor in making a success of one's self. That is an established fact. We, the Seniors, realize that so we have striven to the best of our abilities to obtain that training. We have worked for four long years in Lee High School to get it. It has been work, for learning is something that cannot be assumed at one's leisure. It requires diligent study and much concentration. Tonight, we have nearly 'finished our high school careers. We will soon receive our diplomas. These will be our stock certificates but, unlike those others, they can never be called worthless. In our stay here we have had the closest cooperation of our instructors. They have helped us through many difficult times. We, the Seniors, wish to express our appreciation for their aid. We also wish to extend you a welcome to our class day program. It makes us feel that you are proud of us. This brings joy to our hearts and an incentive to further success when we leave here. George Start Sixteen 1933 LEE HIGH CLASS HISTORY In the early part of September, 1929, the Freshman class organized and en' deavored to undertake a task which was to occupy four years. When the structure was begun, a group of one hundred and fifteen workers reported for duty. We shoveled and dug daily into the knowledge which was to aid us later in whichever sphere we might find ourselves. It seemed as though we toiled and toiled and that our efforts were in vain, but we were to learn later that we were laying the foundaf tion of our building called Life. From time to time we were urged on by our fore' man, Kenneth Sims. The work was new to most of us and there were many things we had to learn. However, we were sufficiently brought to the realization that real, concentrated effort and hard work were essential in laying the foundation of one's life. In the second year, we began building our rough framework, having completed our foundation in the first year. There were many who preferred to quit, thinking that they had enough on which to base their acquisition of a livelihood. In spite of the fact that our number decreased, our contract was renewed and we continued with sixtyfthree workers headed by Wesley Postma. By this time, we were all cog' nizant of the fact that to accomplish anything it must be done through promptness, accuracy and united effort. At the beginning of the third year as we were working on the finer and more elegant part of our structure, Arthur Hage became our foreman. As we built on- ward, we began to realize our hope. We could see that we were really accomplishing the thing we had set out to accomplish, which gave us courage to finish. Moreover, the faculty began to see in us the results of their diligent efforts. We gained per' mission to give a drama which displayed the histrionic ability of a number of our workers. The proceeds yielded a considerable amount to our treasury, thereby en' abling us to purchase the additional supplies. Our last year was spent applying the more intricate and final touches on the building which we began four years ago. George Start now became boss for the remaining year. This year was spent in increased activitiesMa school paper, Senior play- Pollyanna, the Echo, and frequent class parties. The most unique of these was the Carnival to which the entire community was invited. Tonight, we have come to dedicate this building on which we have been labor' ing four years. Our contractor, Mr. Head, is to reward us for the part we have taken in this construction. Those who have faithfully executed the tasks assigned to them will receive diplomas, the symbol of accomplishment. Now that our fourfyear contract is closed and our high school building is com' pleted, we know that we, as individuals, shall be able to go out and ight life's battles with more courage and zeal. Through the aid of our previous experience, we shall emerge victorious, endeavoring to live up to our motto, 'LCn to Greater Things.

What a change a few years can make. just twenty years ago this month I graduated from Lee High and here I meet Clayton Vander Meer in the balmy atmosphere of Southern California. Clayton Vander Meer, with the aid of Marvin Van Dyke, has organized the World Wide Broadcasting Company. Through his aid I have been able to examine his great laboratories where I had a chance to experiment with the Radio View, a new invention which allows one not only to see others as if by magic, but also to hear them talk. One of my few experiments was to see whether I could get in touch with the graduates of 1933. As I turned the dials, I heard a distorted sound of voices and music. Then the screen cleared and I saw Thelma Baker and Marguerite Bagge playing concert selec' tions before a large audience. The vision faded and suddenly a woman talking very rapidly appeared on the screen. The familiar features were those of joan Blackport giving a recipe for making angel food cake. Next the sound of an orchestra and singing came forth and I saw Charles Bassett seriously crooning a love song while Jack Langland led his widely known orchestra in accompaniment. However, I had to leave them as there were many others in the class to be seen. The next thing I saw was a very interesting group of people in a theatre, To the left stood Pauline Scott, now an actress, and Grace Dykstra, an acrobatic dancer, looking at the first showing of their latest picture. To the right were Kenneth Ingram, president of the United Picture Company, and Lewis Young, the publicity agent busily engaged in trying to convince the picture censors, Jane Haire and Frances Hulst, that there was nothing wrong with the picture. They certainly sounded convincing to me, but this was no time to listen. Again I turned the dials, a large ranch house came into view. Near the road a sign read Bradford and Kreple Health Ranch. On the porch of the house were two women engaged in a heated argument. They were the food specialists, better known to me as Ruby Uselton and Mildred Spenle. They were trying to decide how many calories there are in a glass of chocolate malted milk. Around the corner of the house, a cloud of dust suddenly arose and from it came a cowboy, none other than my old friend, Conrad De Maar. A moment later Jennette Schuitema and Kenneth Sims arrived. Conrad had just given them the fifth lesson in the art of horseback riding. The picture seemed to get dusty as it faded again but I advanced the knob a little, and a picture of sunny Michigan appeared. The place was Hilda De Graff's Dairy Farm near Grand Rapids. Across the field I saw two merry maidens hurrying and chatting gaily as they went out to com' plete their daily tasks. They were Emajean VanderSluis and Ellouise Davidson. Near the house I saw Sanford Kaat, the superintendent, completing his plans to sell more milk since prohibition had been voted back. Off to one side in a shady spot were an artist, Gerald Hankamp, industriously painting a picture, and Betty Butter' worth, a poetess, dreamily gazing at the horizon. A very peaceful and agreeable picture indeed. From this, the scene shifted to a place where there was much confusion and noise. As I acquainted myself with the situation, I saw Leonard Oosterink trarnping back and forth in an office and kicking everything in his way. At the desk nearby sat Fred Lutzke scratching his head while he measured and re-measured some plan. Near the door an inventor, Orie Vanden Berg, stood with a screw driver in his hand, Twenty 1933 LEE HIGH silently watching Leonard. From the sound of things something was wrong at Lee High, so I quickly made a change to see what was the matter. What a picture! In the hall working like Trojans to keep up with a mechanical man who slyly smiled to himself, were the janitor, Herman Baker, and his assistant, John Kossen. It seems that the man refused to work alone and Leonard had built the building too small to accommodate two of them. The picture was too heartbreaking so I changed it. The next scene was a cottage near a lake. On the porch were two people, buried deeply in a newspaper called the Newsy Daily which, by the way, was edited by Charles Dodds. The two, Luella Hineline and George Start, or rather Mr. and Mrs. Start seemed very interested. George had just finished reading an article concerning Coach Harold Cotton at Harvard, and was turning to the column, Helpful Hints for Husband and Wife by Ruth Vos. Luella was reading a threefcolumn article telling of a recent tea party given by Doris Halpen and Tilda Giddis for the 400 of Galewood. Having satisned my desire, I again changed the scene, this time to an airport. In an office in one of the large buildings I saw Russell Callahan, president of the Leway Transcontinental Airways, working diligently over plans or ways and means to get to Mars. In the next room was the supposedly busy secretary, Jeanette Bruin' ing. Besides chewing gum, she was writing--but it was a letter to her boyffriend. Outside of the building a transport pilot, Raymond Wilson, was watching Evelyn McCune, a famous aviatrix and instructor, reprimand a student for making a pancake landing. Across the road from the field I saw a neat building containing a branch office of Dr. William De Witt. I would say that he is a man of business intuitions. He always leaves Thurston Camp, his assistant, there just in case. To make my little radio trip complete, I got a view of a serious friend, Arthur Hage who had turned out to be a minister. He was completing one of his ever popular lectures at the enlarged auditorium in Grand Rapids. After having had a pleasant time watch- ing my friends, I decided to continue my travels and visit some of these very inter' esting people. Leo McLavic CLASS SONG Jlusir' by Jlaryuerife Bagge Words by Kenneth Sims CHORUS All there is of History, Our class is the best All that we hope we've learned. In East or in West All there is of Chemistry Lee High is the best in the land. No knowledge have we spurned. Our girls are the fairest We've read up and we've read down, Our fellows the squarest, Read about and all around. 'Mong schools Lee High is just grand. Went to class in dear old Lit. And as we go along You don't know the half of it! We'll sing a better song And now we're ready for Life they say As members of the class of '33. But we're inclined to doubt it. No matter where we go The four years now seem but a day We'll always want to show That's all we know about it. Our love and loyalty for dear old Leej Twenty-one LEE HIGH 1933 VALEDICTORY Tonight marks the end of our twelfth year in school. We have come to the end of the pathway which our parents, our teachers, and our school board have so care' fully paved for us. I wish to thank the teachers, the school board, and the parents who have given their all that we might have the opportunity to go thus far. Up to this time, education has been easily acquired. Now each one of our class must urge himself On to Greater Things. The going may be rough and the passage barred temporarily. But the thought of all that wealth of knowledge await' ing us, separated from us only by a short stony path, should make each one of us more eager for modern education. Modern education, in itself, is a marvelous phenomenon. There are spheres open to each of us at the end of that path. The aspirant for a doctor's career may gaze in wonder at miracles he had merely dreamed about, soft'eyed, here in high school. The student who yearns to become a chemist may cause an explosion at flrstg but that explosion may blast away a few of the boulders in his pathway. The student of Life may learn of a multitude of things hitherto unthought of. The poet's ideas may mature and with study his present thoughts will pass into the limbo of forgotten things. And the student whose very soul is music may clamor for that vibrant thread which is woven into his life. He will strive over and over for that perfect measure. The person who may become a teacher will live over again the regrets we are experiencing tonight. He must say good-bye again and again to his classes as they pass on into life. Some of us may rise higher and faster than others. But none will forget tonightg and the urge to go On to Greater Things will stay with us along the stony path and linger as we say goodfbye to our friends.

FOOTBALL Early in September of 1932, Louis MeCrath, the new coach at Lee High, strode onto the field to be greeted by about thirty strapping lads eager to absorb football. Coach McCrath had his problems from the beginning. Chief of these was the lack of veteran material. The team faced an exceptionally hard schedule in which Lowell, the Kent County and State Champions, headed the list. At Lowell, our boys met defeat but fought to the last whistle. The following week Grandville paid a visit to Lee, bring' ing with them a team of gridmen which proved too powerful for the warriors of Lee High. Not dismayed by two overwhelming defeats, a scrappy Lee squad took 'I'hirly-four 1933 LEE HIGH the field on October seventh against Godwin and marked up the first victory for Lee. Encouraged by this success, the defenders of the Gold and Blue journeyed to Way- land. There they were defeated by a powerful eleven which has taken the Allegan County title for the past three years. Sparta sent a lighting team to Lee on October twentyffirst, but their team was outffought and the result was a victory for Lee High. Lee owed Hudsonville a visit and paid it on November fourth. Our boys were beaten in score but not in spirit. Only a week later they went to Zeeland, whose team had won the Ottawa County Championship. Zeeland had defeated Hudsonville 19 to 0. On November twelfth this powerful Zeeland aggregation trotted onto their snow and ice covered field to combat a snappy Lee team. The result of the battle was a scoreless tie, which speaks well for Lee. Lee High's football machine led by McCrath now approached the end of the cleat-worn path of 1932. They played the final game of the season at Coopersville and lost after four thrilling quarters of hardffought football. The campaign carried on by the gridmen of Lee High was not successful in the number of victories won, but it developed a number of boys who are capable of making a good team for 1933 under the direction of Coach McCrath. The develop' ment of these boys has sent the hopes of Coach McCrath soaring for 1933. He loses only six veterans by graduation: Bub Hankamp, left end, Connie DeMaar, centerg Russ Callahan, right tackleg Sanford Kaat, guard, Harold Cotton, halfbackg and Captain Bill DeWitt, left tackle. Returning are ten lettermen of which eight were regulars during the past season. These boys led by Captainfelect Virgil Beld should make football history for Lee during 1933.

First Row: Baker, VanDyke, Hankamp, Oosterink, Hage, DeMaar. BASKETBALL Our basketball team got off to a good start by winning its first four games, but toward the end of the season they went into a slump and, consequently, lost a few games. The defeats were: two to Grandville, two to Christian: one to Godwin, and one to Holland Christian in tournament play. During the entire race for County championship honors, Lee was one of the outstanding threats. It was not until the final game which we lost to Godwin, 24722, that we could consider ourselves out of the race. Although Coach McCrath did not have very much veteran material back from last year, he developed some of last year's reserves into capable basketball players. At the end of the first semester, we suffered some misfortune by losing Baker and Huge, due to the ninefsemester ruling. Hankamp, Cotton, DeMaar, Van Dyke, and Oosterink will be lost by graduaf tion, this leaves only two regulars, Hoek and Beld, back for next year's team. Perhaps the best played and most exciting game of the season was the one with East Grand Rapids in which we were victorious, only by sinking a basket in the last minute of play. The final score was l9f17.

Since most of these boys were Fresh' men and Sophomores, we have high hopes for a future championship team, or at least for many outstanding athletes. Only a few lettermen from last year turned out this year, but after a month of good training we expect to be well represented in the County Track Meet to be held at Rockford Mziy twelfth. We are also planning to enter some men in the Regional Track Meet at South field May twentieth. During the course of the season we expect to compete in a number of meets with the other schools of the county.

Oflicers were elected: President Marie Schram Vicefljresident Gertrude DeZwart Secretary Avis Nelson Treasurer Leona Harvy The club, under the direction of Miss Damkot and Mrs. Utter, has had many good times. The meeting on April twelfth was an educational tour of the Colonial Bakery. We chose the Lutheran Home as the place for another meeting. A program was given for our mothers early in May. On May twentyffourtli a peanut party supplied a vein of merriment and a hike concluded our enterprises. The purpose of the Girl Reserves is to iind and live better lives. Avis Nelson '37 Fo rt y 1933 LEE HIGH SENIOR GIRL RESERVES Another active and progressive year in the history of Lee High Girl Reserves has come to a close. Our Club is sponsored by Miss Galloway and Miss Tallmadge. Meetings are held each alternate Wednesday. Striving To face life squarely and to find and give the best, we aided in welf fare work, visited the Isabella Home, had a bunco and jigfsaw party, and took part in many other interesting activities. The following officers were elected: President Phyllis Aardema VieefPresident Lorena Mills Secretary Lucille Hand Treasurer Veta Cunningham Lucille Hand '34 Forty-one LEE HIGH 1933 JUNIOR HIfY CLUB The junior I'IifY Club was reorganized on the ninth of january under the excel' lent leadership of Mr. McCrath. The Club had not been in operation for about a year previous to this time, but the boys who are now members of the club are makf ing it a great success. In spite of the late start, the club has had many activities so far this year. We have sponsored two assemblies for the high school and we plan to give many more. Six of our boys represented us at the County Older Boys' Conference at Cedar Springs this year. Officers of the Junior HifY were elected as follows: President William Foster VieefPresident Robert Hines Secretary-Treasurer Robert Langland Robert Langland '3 7 For-ty-Iwo 193s LEE HIGH SENIOR HIfY CLUB The Senior Hi-Y Club organized at the beginning of the school year in 1932. The new oflicers are: President Leonard Oosterink VieefPresident Arthur Hage Seeretaryffreasurer George Start We have had a number of activities during the year. Among the high spots was the Father and Son meeting which was very successful. It served as a means of bringing the fathers to a closer companionship with their sons, and to acquaint them with our standards. Uur club was well represented at the Qlder Boys' Conference. Virgil Beld was elected on the board to make arrangements for the 1934 County Older Boys' Conf ference. George Start '33 Forty-three LEE HIGH 193i i r GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The aims of the Girls' Glee Club are the development of the voice and part singing, so as to be enjoyable to the listener and the singer. Miss Veatch, our direcf tor, works for the balance of parts and for beauty of tone. Mzirgiierite Bagge is our accompanist. The trio consists of Hilda DeCraaf, Pauline Scott, and Janice Bruinels, Their accompanist is Alice Buikema. Miss Veatch took the trio to Kalamazoo to hear the Westerii State Teachers' Glee Club. This inspiring trip was related to the Glee Club at its next meeting. Tilda Giddis '33 lf'm'ly-four 1933 LEE HIGH BUYS' GLEE CLUB Under the experienced direction of Coach Louis McCrath, the Glee Club has progressed rapidly. Our public appearances included two P. T. A. meetings. Later in the year, we, in combination with the Girls' Clee Club, presented an operetta. We have practices on Tuesdays and Fridays during the first hour in the morning. There are many Seniors who will be leaving in June, and we hope that there will be Freshmen next year who will replace them. The officers elected at the beginning of the year were as follows: President Conrad DeMaar Custodian Russell Callahan Conrad DeMa:1r '33 Forly-five LEE HIGH 1933 GRCHESTRA The members of the High School Orchestra have had four successful years under the skill and leadership of our director, Mr. johnson. He has obtained many engagements for us. We have already played for a P. T. A. meeting and the Junior and P. T. A. plays. The band and orchestra are planning to give a musical demonstration the iirst of Mary, in which several solos and duets will be played. There will also be a string quartette composed of the Seniors in the band or orchestra. There has been a large increase in enrollment this year. Most of the new mem' bers are underfclassmen who will form a nucleus around which next year's orchestra will develop. We appreciate the work Mr. johnson has done for us this year. Thelma Baker '33 Forty-sin: 1933 LEE HIGH BAND In the fall of 1932 the band was reorganized under the direction of Mr. john' son. It consisted of twentyffive pieces. This band, led by the strutting drumfmajor, Don De Young, played for the home football games. When the football season was over, the band went inside and organized as an association. Rehearsals are held regularly Wednesday noons. As an added attraction, the band also played for the circus. The band was very successful in its reorganization. The officers are: President George Start VicefPresident Marvin Van Dyke Secretary Raymond Remtema Treasurer William Boone Librarian Amos Smith George Start '3x3 Forty-seven LEE HIGH 193s L CLUBS The purposes of the L Clubs are to create and maintain clean sportsmanship throughout the school and community and to unite the members into one club with the same spirit. The Girls' L Club is a new organization in school, At Christmas, the club gave a party for prefschool children. There have been several candy sales sponsored by the club. The girls were guests of the boys at a rollicking party. Those girls who have earned letters will receive them the latter part of May. The club has also pledged itself to finance the purchase of a trophy to be presented to the winning class basketball team. President Doris Halpen SecretaryfTreasurer Henrietta Knoper Henrietta Knoper '34 The Boys' L Club met and organized on February twentyffourth, electing the following officers: New members of the L Club enjoyed an informal initiation at the hands of the old members. The club has enjoyed social events, the most important of which was the joint L Club banquet.

D ills G . -. l B.:-1 1 ADVERTISING The graduating classes of Lee High have never needed to make an apology to the advertisers in the Echo Nor does the class of '33. An advertisement is seen many times during the long life of the book. We have had to curtail expenses at every hand in order to keep up tradition and print an Echo for 1933. We have placed on one page the names of the busif ness men who have helped to make the printing of our Echo possible. This has been a great saving to us and has been approved by the donors. We take this opportunity to thank the donors and to ask the readers of the Echo to help us express our appreciation by giving them their patronage. L. H. ODE TO THE OLD CUTS AND BRUISES OF 1933 Well! Can you imagine that? The graduating class of 1933 hasn't enough talent or originality to make its own cuts. We hope and know that the Alumni will not be heard to say that. We wish to express our appreciation and sincere thanks to all former classes. Without asking the permission of any of the Alumni, we have used cuts drawn by class artists of byfgone years. We believe that the Alumni, realizing the difficult situations under which we have been forced to work in order to keep up the tradition of an Echo, will be generous enough to say, You are welcome. Ingenuity, however, was not our failing, 'Twas for the lack of money we were ailing. L. H. THE LEE CLIPPER Not long ago the Lee Clippers started clipping. Oh, no! Not paper dolls but famous facts about good old Alma Mater and her children. We, being a group of ambitious seniors, willed the task of preparing a school paper to a few of our most ambitious members and a number of lower classmen. Namely, they are: Editorfin-Chief Charles Dodds Managing Editor Ellouise Davidson Business Manager Herman Baker Fifty-two 1933 L EE HIGH The reporters are: Senior Class ' Junior Class Sophomore Class Freshman Class Leonard Oosterink Grace Orton june Halpen Bernard VanderMeer Norma Charron Marguerite Bagge Gerald Hankamp Hilda DeGraff Marvin VanDyke Eighth Grade Girls' Athletics Boys' Athletics Girls' Societies Boys' Societies Alumni Russell Callahan We must not forget the printers who made this paper possible: Arthur Hage Thurston Camp Lewis Young Conrad DeMaar Raymond Wilson Our choice was excellent, for the Lee Clipper is a great success. Why shouldn't it be? It is a depression paper, a dollar's worth of real news for one cent. In addition, a miracle has happened. The students have stopped buying candy bars in order to buy Clippers to send to relatives and friends, thereby ceasing to annoy Mr. Young with scattered candy wrappers. Our paper has many serious motives. If it continues to be a success, it will be' come a permanent enterprise. It has been published to encourage school spirit, to establish loyalty, and to prove to anyone who is interested that Lee is a ine school with a group of active, widefawake students who are making the most of the many opportunities offered them by their parents and teachers. L. H. WEARY TRAVELERS' REST As even drew nigh And the sun left the sky We looked for a place to restg At last we found-the perfect place, A haven in the West. Great trees stood 'round The place we found, And a spring flow'd cool and clear, Some fish were seen in the mountain stream, There was nothing there to fear. The fire burned bright For a while that night, And stars from the darkness shone, 'Till heavy eyes made us realize That rest was again our own. Celina Bradford '35 Fifty-three LEE HIGH 1933 SHOES My highly exciting life began in a New York department store window. I was the smallest shoe in the store and was used only as a sample. No one tried me to see if I'd Ht. ' One day my heart skipped a beat. From my seat in the cold, bleak window, I saw the tiniest, prettiest lady admiring me. I was almost sure I'd fit her dainty feet. Sure enough! She bought me. I suited her perfectly. I was afterwards to learn that she was a famed movie actress. I'm telling you, I certainly felt honored when her handsome men and lady friends admired me. She wore me in one of the most im' portant roles ever portrayed on the screen. One day I heard her say sorrowfully, My dear little shoes, they are so shabby my work won't allow me to wear them. Thus I was discarded. I was sent to the welfare bureau and thrown into a box with others as shabby as I. A poor little girl looked us over one day. She needed a pair for her almost bare feet. To my surprise she picked me. Since then I have undergone many hardships. For many days she and I trudged back and forth to work, but I'm not the proud pair of shoes that I used to be. My mistress has discarded me and here I sit in this attic, my mate ill with shoe string fever and my very sole torn from me. Laura Thompson '35 THE TROUBLE I HAVE I have but a short time to be little, And quite a long time to be tall. Then why should I like to be taller, Even though I hate to be small? The tall oneslsmile down upon me. They wish that they were small too, For I can get into places That they can scarcely get through. I have but a short time to be little, And quite a long time to be tall. So why should I want to be like them? But Gosh! How I hate to be small!

Well, she promised to be home early. Oh, yes, she will all right. One hour goes by. Two hours go by and here it is tenfthirty. Mother is rock' ing nervously in her chair and as Dad locks up for the night and puts the cat out, he says in a grumble, She'll be home all right. Here it is tenfthirty and no sign of her yet. Well, you can sit up and wait for your darling daughter but I'm going to get my rest. Goodfnightf' Another hour goes by and by this time Mother is pacing up and down the room. All is dark and still. A half hour goes by. Mother is nearly frantic now. But at last the lights of a car flash around the corner, a car stops in front of the house, and daughter comes running into the house brimming over with explanaf tions. But these explanations do not help to refcolor the hair that has been turned gray by these two hours of worrying. Virginia Weaver '35 MERE DOGS There were three of us. We were homeless and in certain ways it showed on us. We were thin and rather raggedflooking, and we looked as thought we could stand a little petting and kindness. We had learned to know the different kinds of people. As we saw big, blustering business men coming, we would slink away look' ing sheepish, knowing full well that if we got in the way, we would merely be kicked aside with a curse. Again, if we saw small children or old ladies coming, we would brush up against them and often we would receive a gentle pat and a kind word. Even though we were homeless, we had many good times in life. We saw many things which were humorous to us. For example, we had great fun watching per' fumed, dignified ladies in furs cooing to small dogs and carrying them around. fWe had sympathy for the dogs, though!! We also did things which we thought were fun. Often we would jump and bark at these small dogs being carried around and thought it great sport to hear their owners say, Did the naughty dog scare mamma's sugar? Naughty dog! Another thing which we liked to do was to jump at middle' aged women and hear them let out feeble screams and to see them storm around, asking nobody in particular why the law didn't get rid of homeless dogs. So even though we had hard times in life, we also had many good times and, taking all in all, we decided that we would rather be homeless than be cuddled and cooed over as some poor dogs were.
