They say they were born in nineteen one. Maybe they were, but this I'll bet, they're good for many a long mile yet. They say they were once worn by a well known sheik, but .he threw them in the garbage can, because they squeak. No matter where I found them they are my pals, tried and true. For we've journeyed far together, and ltwill hurt when we are through. ' HILMA SARPPO. A THRILLING MOMENT She stood beside the motionless white form; still warm 'as if with life. No groan, no sigh escaped her. Suddenly she let forth a cry that pierced the still morning air. Again and again the cry was repeated. Then all was quiet. A new-laid egg in the vacated nest awaited the family breakfast. PAlVlELA RUSH. A MUSIC LOVERIS BATTLE liBeat time,n said Mr. Giddings. Tears rolled down the dear little chap's rosy cheeks. Terrible gusts of sobs shook his tender young frame. YI can't! I cant! he wailed. Thunder clouds gathered on Mr. Giddings' brow. The storm was about to burst. uBeat time! he thundered. Our innocent hero turned his cherub face and spoke, Please don't ask me to beat anything, sir! My mother always says that I should do unto others as I would that they should do unto me. MAURICE WALLACH. ONEIS DIFFICULTIES When onels teacher tells one to write a theme onels brain can never func- tion as onels brain does when one goes to a show. Why is it that when one goes to one's favorite theater no matter how hard the picture is to understand onels brain concentrates and gives one an idea of what the show is about, but When one,s brain must do school work onels brain rebels! LAYVE FRANK. THE CATASTROPHE He was slowly sinking. This was a sight too horrible to witness. Oh! if only I had the power to save him. Look! he is sinking lower, lower, lower. Oh! somebody please save him. Please! Please! Think of how you would feel if you were in his place. Be man enough to save him. Look! Look! he is gone. Your conscience will bother you, so that you will not sleep tonight. You let him sink before your very eyes. You are a heartless, seliish wretch. Ah! now we shall not see the sun for another twelve hours! THULE KNIGHT. SEVEN WONDERS OF LINCOLN Lucille Cookels ability to giggle. Benjamin Avin's vocabulary. Abe Katesl attraction for the girls. Charlotte Feldstein's efliciency as a jockey. Sid Gillman,s manner of shooting baskets. The speed of Irving Feinbergls feet. Harriet Webb's hair-cut. 73 NONW-bWNr-a

Tom was the guilty one, we knew, for he still had that deadly weapon in his hand. The victim gave his iinal kick, turned his face to the wall, and died. Tom laid down his weapon and triumphantly addressed his fallen foe: iiIn your death, old dear, this community has been spared exactly 131,220,- OO0,000.000,000,000 fiies. VIETTA MORSE. AN INCUBUS Hungry demons surrounded her, gnashing their teeth in fury. The roof wavered and fell. The sun in its dizzy flight crashed into the moon With fear- ful consequences. All over the universe the stars gave up and went out. The law of gravitation ceased working and the few humans Who were left among the ruins of the earth, tottered and fell ofir into oblivion. It was in the year of nineteen hundred and sixty and Mary Smith had made the obnoxious mistake of saying iiaint' in an oral composition. DOROTHY MOYLAN. e. THE STAMPEDE Bang! the stampede is on. Several stalwart youths vainly try to stem the tide. The herd, maddened by hunger and thirst ethey have not eaten for four hoursT rush onward. No, this is not a caption from a western movie, but a pic- ture of our Lincolnites during lunch hour. ISADORE GANDEL. 72

Once 3 Lincoln girl athletics did scorn, And With cosmetics her face would adorn. She studied her reflection, VJas pleased with her complexion; But at twenty she'll look like dried up corn. Once a 7B of Lincoln School, Couldn't remember the no gum rule. He chewed so hard His teeth he marred And now he's parked on the dentistls stool. Hooray! Hooray! for our Girls' Band, The only Junior High one in the land. When it plays for a show, Itls Back, don't crowdlsol And, uLet me in, it sounds so grand! A brilliant boy just out of 6A, Insisted he'd up a down stairway, But soon he saw stars, Both Venus and Mars, A councilor had shown him that haste doesnlt pay. 74
