7 1933 ...THE ORANGE AND BLACK... June 44 P O E T R Y w SILAS LOOKS BACK The sun was sinking behind the hill. Soon echoed the cry of the Whip-poor-will. Old Silas turned the plow around, Unhitched the team, and was homeward bound. He was an elderly man of pioneer stock. Bent was his ngure and gray his locksg Gnarled and twisted, yet firm was heg A harder worker there never could be. Dark against the western sky - The little red schoolhouse seemed to sigh For its younger days in the yea-rs gone by Wfhen Kate played there with Silas and Ly. Old Silas chuckled and then he sa-id, 'fOh Pshaw, I wish I was always a kid In that schoolhouse yonder on the hill, What looks so lonesome, forgotten, and still. When we'd hear the bell ring out When recess was over, we'd give a shout And take our sleds for one more ride Before we'd turn to go inside. Then Bert drew pictures on his slate And handed it 'cross the aisle to Kate. She, of course, was bound to laugh Wfhen something funny crossed her path. Across the room came a ball of mud That landed with an elegant thud And hit 'Red' Convey square in the ear: For about a week he couldn't hear. It was 'Squat' who did it-we knew he did. Could tell by the way his face was hid Behind a big geography book. You should have seen that teacher look! There was the time when my brother and me, Were rivals in a Writers' bee. Poems it was, and so I thought I'd find something to write about. In my poem I said how shy I was I thought as how I'd win because Jerome couldn't write no poetry, At least not half as good as me. Then I read mine before the class, But Jerry grinned as bright as glass And says, 'Si writes about beingshy But he ain't so bad when it comes to pie'. The uneasy horses brought Silas back. My mind's been runnin' off the track. I guess it ain't no use, said he, I ain't ez young ez I used to be. -JANE FARWELL, iza.

A committee in charge of music included Eleanor Rloisum, Morris Slav- ney, and Joseph Runey. This must be all now, as Shakespeare or someone else might say, for all good things must end. Ik 'll 'lf EVENTY SENIORS received diplomas Friday morning, January 27, 1932. In address, Mr. J. P. Butler, representing the Board of Education, stressed the serious problems of the world of 1933.

June ...THE ORANGE AND BLACK... 1933 THE MANNER OF SUNDAY MOTORISTS ,ik UNDAY MOTORISTS make up a class ' of their own-a class which is sub- divided into several groups. Let us consider these groups separately as bacteriological specimens, an d per- haps the reason for this classification as an individual order will be divulged. Consider first exhibit A, those motorists who tear along the highway at full speed while, as they say, They are just taking a little ride to enjoy the scenery. Experi- ments have proved that this class numbers the victims of the strange malady called take it-all-initus. They are so afraid of missing something -that their continually speedy efforts to see all result in their see- ing nothing. Exhibit B is comprised of those motorists called by rural dwellers city folks, and by city folks rural dwellers. These people suf- fer from inertia with complications. It is the inertia that produces the slow, rattling pace of their old Ford or Chevrolet, as the case may beg but it is the complications which cause them to motor down the exact center of the road and get stiff necks rub- bering at everyone or everything they see. It is not terminologically exact to say that out of' one hundred accidents eighty-five are the unconscious ravages of the specimens in Exhibit B. Exhibit C is the one that should be stressed. It is comprised of motorists who think they drive for pleasure or work and who remember the other tourists. They are the ones who make motoring a pleasant pas- time. 'When all the exhibits are intermingled, the result is a conglomeration. This conglomera- tion makes up the many motorists whose peculiar habits and idiosyncrasies give Amer- ican drivers the honorable title Specimens -LURA SALTER. 89' FEBRUARY GRADUATES lContinued from Page Seventeenl FRANK AUDINI: No Activities.

A DISSERTATION UPON DEAD FISH - 'l COPY-BOOK says, Be sure your handshake is firm and hearty: avoid Q the limp dead-fish hand, or words to I that effect. For once the copy-book is right. There are various types of handshakes. Some should be avoided like the smallpox, others merely scorned. Under -the first category, there are three that are outstanding. These are the pump, the dead-fish, and the angle- worm. The pump is a sort of hail-fellow- well-met-how's-your-muscle affair, w h i c h leaves your victims with a sprained shoulder. It will tire you if you meet many people dur- ing the day. The angle-worm is the direct opposite. To receive it you raise your arm a little, bend it at the elbow, and drape one or two fingers in the general direction of the person you are supposedly shaking hands with. This gives the effect of quick-the-dis- infectant-I'm-about-to-touch-a-worm. Excel- lent if the man is a leper, but hardly necessary under ordinary circumstances. The worst is the dead-fish. This looks all right, but alas, when a dead-fish hand meets yours, you feel as if you were shaking an oyster. No grip, no warmth, nothing at all exists in a dead-fish handshake. The pump at least has grip and warmth, and the angle--worm is at least probably disdain- ful, but beware the man who proffers a dead-fish. He is neither sincere nor warm- hearted. - -JANE PRIESTLEY.

In addition to this frolic was a matinee dance including the accom- plishments of the social committee, under L-orene Nelson's direction. A large share of the scholarship fund was earned by the sale of candy during the school' year and also during the recent band tournament. Helen Esser was at the head of this candy counter committee. Various projects, including a card party, several sales, and the operation of an information bureau during the Southern Wisconsin Teachers' Convention, were under- taken by the ways and means' committee, headed by Claire Jackson. In addition to these projects for the scholarship fund, the club has sponsored entertaining programs for its members and undertakings for the benefit of the school and public in general. Miss Esther Hibbard's fascinating talk on her experiences in Japan and the musical program given by ten talented members stand out as the chief entertainments staged for the entire club. Margaret Hatch, chair- man of the p-rogram committee, together with her assistants, planned these two events. Ik if if Literatae HE GIRLS' Literary Society, with Miss Tormey as sponsor, wasz founded in 1931. Its membership is limited to thirty-five girls, -chosen for high scholarship and an interest in literature. At their meet- ings, held twice a month, the girls discuss modern writers and their works. At a recent meeting Miss Kentzler read Edna St. Vincent M!illay's Renascence. Original writing is much encouraged, and contests are held with prizes offered for the best short sto-ry, poem, and essay. Every spring the club has a pic- nic. This is the outstanding event of the year. The officers of the club are: president, Rachel Herringtong vice-president, Gladene Manwaringg program chairman, Helen Esserg and secretary-treasurer, Eleanor Becker. 44 sk Pk S prechen sie Deutsche ERlM.AN CLUB living up to one of the well known Teuton characteristics, namely that of enjoying music, sang German songs or listened to musical pro- grams offered by its members. One time Helmut Merten entertained the club with accordion solos. 'Vera Erickson gave a Ger- man reading. The members held an exhibit of articles brought to this country by their ancestors. Pipes, steins, a doll's dress, a report card, cigarette holders, books were all displayed. The report card which belongedto Miss Hein's grandfather was merely a piece of paper covered with German script. Instead of being graded A, B, C, D, or F, or by a numerical system, her grandfather was marked-good, fair, poor.
