X' li R l 'I' :X S 'l'I-1 E FAITH FU L They loved each other with all their might, These two appeared just like lovers, They went out together almost every night, These two acted just as lovers. Sometimes they did not come in till late, But for them no one needed to sit up and wait, They were well chaperoned one could easily tell, And no matter what happened, with them it went well. hflany times they were out in a fine limousine, hflany times they were out in a small, fragile boat, But it made little difference, as plain could be seen, For they were still like lovers, this hat and this coat. -IVIARGARET Houou, '28. SMILES Some smiles there are that fill my heart with joy, They bring a gleam of gladness to my eye. Some smiles there are that make me smile in turn, And make the clouds of sorrow all roll by. Then there are smiles that take the joys away, And to my waiting lips they bring a sigh, My sorrows like dark storm clouds larger grow, And all I see above is darkened sky. But when my cross grows heavy and I fall, The smile my tired heart yearns for and demands, ls that sweet smile my God bestows on me, As he bends down and grasps my pleading hands. -Vmomm MAv.TiNEAU, y27. Below the eross of Calvary I love Thee, Lord of Calvary, I kneel and bow my head, VVho suffered pains untold. For glancing up I see there hung Oli! keep me ever at Thy side My jesus, bleeding-dead.

Oh, grant me by this cross to learn To suffer all for Thee! -V1RG1N1A IVIARTINEAU, ,27. 15126 Page Forty-ji-v E I CTI Q. rv O cn cf: 1 1

A QUESTION O dearest friend, ffor such you arej, A plea I'm sending from afar, A question grave I wish to ask, For which please don't take me to task. l've spent long hours endeavoring To bring myself to do this thing. I could not let it go, and yet I was afraid it would be met VVith firm refusal, and, you see, This thought intimidated me. I've thought the question o'er and oyer, Turned it around and round about.
