M. F. H. S. PILOT 29 POETRY DE THE MASQUERADE Everyone has been to a masquerade Where many queer characters are on parade. Streamers and lanterns deck the hall, It's really a gay and jovial ball. 'Dhe guests are disguised with small black masks, To guess their identity is quite a ta.sk. They change their voices, manners and ways. The costumes date back to by-gone days. First there's a Robin Hood with Little John, Next there's Lady Guinevere with a wig on. Old tramps and pirates dance around, They fill the room with a variety of sound. A prize is given to Rip Van Winkle, The bell for refreshments begins to tinkle. The guests assemble and partake of the lunch, They all start homeward, -an odd looking bunch. G. S. '43. There once was a young girl named Jean, Whom everyone thought was a dream. Until one fine day, She happened to stray, And since then she hasn't been seen. Dorothy McMoran '43. A dear little girl With a golden curl Was bidding her daddy good-bye, He was going away, For a year today, And a tear showed in 'her eye. The time would seem long To her, while he was gone He had been her very best pal. She breathed a short prayer As they parted tlhere, That God would keep him well. In his khaki so neat, He marched down the street To the music of the band g But her heart was sad, As she watched her dear dad, Who was going to defend our free land. Leola Paine '42. There was a young fellow named Jack, One day his brain he did wrack. He wrote an essay, But it didn't pay, And his paper was all he got back. Glenna Whittemore '43. PARTMENT To kill,-or not to kill,-that is the question, Whether 'tis fairer to let him live, through The joys and sorrows of another year, Or to take up arms against this noble soul, And by murder, dispose of him. To live,-to die,- If, to die,-no more will bother him The heart-aches and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. But death to him is Far from the present. To live,-to die,- If, to live,- perchance for years, that is mercy, But, if, through life, he be not happyg then kill, As is usual on each Christmas day, the Poor and noble turkey. Carleton Quinn '42, To bum, or not to bum,-that is the question, Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The thoughts and trials of staying home, Or to take up arms against a sea of gossips, And by opposing ignore them. To go, - to stay,- To go, and by going to hear when back The wagging tongues and a thousand disliked stories That tongue is heir to,-'tis an ending Not to be wish'd. To go,-to stay,- To go l there's our conscience! ay there's the rub, For when we're there-there come thoughts which we dislike And we may wish ourselves at home, Our conscience bothers us. Elizabeth Tees '43. To marry or not to marry, -that is the question 3 Whether 'tis better in the end to accept The freedom of a ba.chelor's lonely life, or- To enter in the .bonds of matrimony, Thus ending loneliness. To wed-to unite,- And by a union to say we join our lives Together- to end the struggles and natural problems That bachelors are heir to,- 'tis a consum- mation Devoutly to be wish'd. To marry, -to unite, - To unite! to yoke together! ay, there's the rubg For what may come when a man is yoked to a wife Who has a lashing tongue and high ambitions, Must give us pause. Wallace Andrews '42, Once there was a young lad from Nebraska, Who met a young lass from Alaska. She 'helped him shuck corn, While he blew his thorn, But the question he never did ask 'er. John Trinward '43. There was a young teacher named Ioan And her ink, she always did loan. 'Til it went to her head, And one day she said, Why don't they buy some of their own?
