Smile A sunny smile on a dreary day Will chase the gloom and clouds away, A merry laugh when things go wrong Will tune the heart to a glad new song; A cheery smile like a fairy sprite Will turn the darkness into light, A pleasant smile, like a June day rare, Dispels the gloom, making earth grow fair. Perseverance Nothing ever is achieved, Be it small or be it great; Nothing worthy of renown, By the men who stand and wait. Nothing ever is achieved By the men who fear to try; Nothing worthy of success By the men who sit and sigh. Keep on striving, day by day, Though the clouds be dark about; Just remember as you go. He who perseveres wins out. — May Fitch. Page Tuentyjive

POETRY Wly D ear est c Boo Sometimes I open an old, worn book, A book which is sacred to me. And I turn o ' er its numerous pages And read with much care what I see. Those pages that are old, and torn. Are not pages that I ' ve read the most, But they ' ve been so greatly neglected That they ' ve lost all desire to boast. And have quietly lain in this dear, old book While the years have swept swiftly along, And page after page has been added To enlarge the book of my song. All of the sheets have numbers; Oft times they are hard to discern, As I look o ' er the many past pages I find lessons which I may well learn. They tell the mistakes and the failures Which were made by one I know well, And they show how they could be avoided, Which is more than more costly books tell. So this old book, this worn book, and faded, Is dearest of all books to me, And when I am lonesome I turn to This book, called My Memory. — Doriss Hudson.
