THEY LAMNED iTwas an afternoon in early March, When down the street there came Lincoln boys so brave and bold A-going to the Game. They thought of naught but basket ball As to the game they went; They knew not what awaited them Succeeding this event. A happy afternoon had flown, But When the fun was past Lincoln boys went home in fear, Remorseful and aghast. They realized-that they had erred And they must meet their fate: To say that they were sorry, then Was surely quite too late. At last the fateful hour arrived And they were told to comee With books and pencils in their hands ' tWithout their chewing gumy Unto the mourners' bench, when school Was over for the day. For three whole weeks they must report And miss their joyful play. And When their sentence has been served Tm sure they'll neier forget The day they went to see the game, And with misfortune met. -R.

THE HOMER-ad 0 Homer, dear Homer, from Hades return And take back the Iliad poor 9A,s must learn. Sure, you, when you wrote, of our brains, did not think. And now, from your poem, they,ve gone on the blink. Full hard have we pondered long hours each day O,er heroes engaging in furious fray. The godalike Hector you tell us was great tThough Nurmi ne,er equalled that herds gaitly. The fate of lost Iluim of course we should weep, But so hard you have worked us were missing our sleep. And Why, 0 dear Homer, on us should you bring A worse fate by far than your Greek Muse did sing? The Apple of Gold, for which goddesses fought On suffering Freshmen great trouble hath brought: We read that great Priam mourned brave Hector once, But we mourn him often, though dumb as a dunce. We think that your heroes and you are the bunk To leave us a poem in which we must flunk; 0 Homer, blind Homer, how great were our joya Had you with your heroes but perished at Troy! Room 225. VICTORY I was glancing der the paper, When attracted was my eye, To a dangIrous looking umonster, That encouraged me to try. I went to get my weapons, Keen to scribble out the foe, ' Though the first word was a hard one,- Soon I dealt a fatal blow. The second word was easy And being coaxed I tried, But when they came up teasy, I could have quit and cried. My foe at last I finished And placed on him a muzzle, Now the monster that I conquered Was a dang,rous Cross VJord Puzzle. aCARL SUDMEIR, 913-2. 6 7
