THEREIS SOME GOOD IN EVERYTHING These old lessons make me tired, Quoth little Susie White. KTm plagued by every teacher I donit think Tm treated right. i'First there's reading, then there's writing. And then there's grammar, too. But yet some teachers seem to think We havenIt enough to do. iiGee, I wish that I was living In the good old Golden Age When only eating and sleeping Happened to be the rage. Now one day Susie's, mother Called to her and said HSusie, please to wash the dishes And then youill make the bed. Across our Susie's noble brow There crept a puzzled frown But suddenly about her face Smiles played up and down. I'But, mother dear, cried Susie, live so many lessons to do. First there's reading, then there's writing And then there's grammar too. Goodness knows, when I'll get done, But I 'spect 'twill be quite late. And just as she had planned, of course, Poor mother hswallowed the bait. And now Susieis eyes are crinkled By two sly little winks. uIim some smarter, says she softly, 1 iiThan anybody thinks. EDITH STRAUSS, 9A. ANOTHER DAY TO GO Bright above the mountain In the bosom of the river The sun is rising slow; The fish swim to and fro; Are its bright rays thinking, I Wonder if it's just to them Another day to go? Another day to go? On the shore of the lake Do we each have an ideal? The waves are lapping low; Some plan of life toishow? Does it also mean to them Or do we just think aimlessly. iIHere's Another day to go? Another day to go? 1 ALDEN ANDERSON, JAN. '26 54
