AUTUMN When Autumn comes with her balmy days, And shades the leaves with her colors bright, She makes all nature want to laze And bask in her warm sun-light. When the time comes, for leaves to a l Old Autumn is on the spot, For helpers she sends out her call And they come right on the dot. To show them how the leaves should drop She glides up to the tree, And pulls the leaves off with a pop To show how they should be siezed. When Autumn is done, and ready to retire She lets out a pent-up sigh. And lets Old Man Winter enter with his vim and fire, THAT'S A FRESHMAN ln study hall someone threw a noteg Cl'll bet that's a freshmanl. When someone says l'You get my goat p Ql'll bet they mean a freshmanj. Someone broke a window glassy Cl'll bet that's a freshmanj. Someone came lagging into classy Cl'll bet he's a freshmanl. Someone sassed a teacher backp Cl'll bet he's a freshmanj. Someone his lesson, he did lack! CI'll bet that's a freshmanl. Someone spilled his ink on the floorg Cl know he's a freshmanl. Someone bumped into the doorg COh gee!-another freshmanlj And she retires from the public eye. -Horace Willey -Ada Murphy STUDY HALL TO A FRESHMAN Hope she doesn't call on me. These are the thoughts of the freshman who finds much to his dispair that his mind is a perfect blank in reference to English. Suddenly to his great relief the bell rings and he dashes down the hall to his locker to get his Latin book. Good thing he has a study hall this period so he can study for his Latin test. Deciding he will go to the library, he arrives at just the time to hear the well worn phrase No more tickets, and then he has to dash some more, this time to the study hall. As he sinks in his seat the bell rings. Whew! lust in time. After propping his leg against the seat in front of him, he opens his Latin book and proceeds to stare intently at the page, although he is on the wrong chapter. Presently he looks up and fixes his gaze on a boy about three rows ahead of him to see if he will turn around. He had heard someone say that if you stared at the back of a person's head that he would turn around. Nothing hap- pens except that the boy scratches his head. Suddenly he remembers that Bill Smith has a western magazine he hasn't read. After sending a note across the room, bothering a large number of hard- working pupils in doing so, he finally has the magazine. lust as he begins read- ing in earnest the bell rings and he remembers with a frightened pang that Latin is the next period. Oh Well, he would have flunked the test even if he had studied. He reflects on the waste of time in studying when you're just a Freshie and have three more years of studying. -Mary Louise Noel -asf Page 1410.
