N Q 5 itil X Q 'X k ,fa E2 its-ee! -E iii hands I shrank back in horror, not wishing to gaze upon his dreadful countenance. Where am I? I shrieked. You are with the dead, came back the reply in a sort of coarse, muffled voice, and at five o'clock you shall face the Judgment. I opened my eyes, but no one was in sight, where the apparition had stood was inscribed on the wall, BE SURE YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT. Totally exhausted from the strain of these last few minutes, 1 sank down upon the floor. From somewhere came the sound of a- clock striking one! two! three! four! At five o'clock, at five o'clock, then what ? kept running through my mind. A dull, grating noise penetrated the stillness, growing louder and louder as it drew nearer to me. In a little while I could hear foot steps approaching, and then above all this came a more dreadful sound-the striking of the clock. ONE! The Judgment is coming, I cried. TWO! Oh, why wasn't I warned of this ? THREE! I can't breathe -give me one more breath. FOUR! Summoning up all of my strength I made one desperate leap for safety, and, to my great surprise, landed head first on my bedroom floor. 'Tm glad this is only a dream and not the real Judgment, I muttered with a huge sigh of relief as I climbed I must needs say this in thy praise, back into bed. T0 A FORD Thou animated trash and tin, Why shouldst thou act the way thou dost? Thou makst me long to cave thee in: I hate to say so but I must. When in great haste for some event, I seize thy crank and turn it round, To one weak groan thou givest vent, And then refuse to make a sound. Thou hast diseases by the peck, Flatfootedness especially! And after that disease I check, Then thou begins to hit on three. Thou Ubreakst me up for gas and oil, And not to mention vast repairs, 'Til in dismay, I thee pronounce The seat of my financial cares. And yet with all thy faulty ways, Though drawbacks thou hast such a. hoard, -THEODORE THOMPSON '25 THE VIOLET Away down in a meadow green And growing by a brook, There sways a lovely violet That's sheltered in a nook. She nods and nods from side to side Upon her slender stem: To gs she is a pretty flower, To nature she's a gem. And often in the early morn The tears shine in her eyes, And as she' very slowly awalces, She looks up at the skies. The violet leads a quiet life Upon her grassy bed: And as the lengthened shadows fall She gently droops her head. Here, hidden in the dreamy night, She sighs in sweet repose, Until the golden sun does rise What should I do without thee, Ford? Her glory to expose. RUBY RAMSAY, '25 ANN JOHNSON, '25 - - -f-A 'm .
