O Alma Mater, VVith colors red and blue. For thee we. always stand, Stalwart and true. Thy standards pure and wise, These we shall ever prizeg And all thy knowledge deep, For which we strive. When we have drifted Far from our friends and home, Thee shall we n'er forget, Where'er we roamg And in our hearts so deep Memories of thee. We'll keep, And thee hold always dear, Alma Mater! And those who follow Shall share the joys thou givst, Thy glory to uphold And for thee live. And they shall chant thy fame, And strive thy love to gaing And hail thy glorious name, Old Red and Blue.

14 THE MIRROR THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN MERYL SKINNER :D O YOU believe in powerful eyes? By powerful eyes I mean eyes that compel you to do something whether you want to or not. I never believed in them until I went up into the Cana- dian forests a while ago. It was inthat glorious month of July, and Jimmy and I were on our first trip to the mountains. O11 the fifteenth of that month we climbed a forest covered mountain with Sue, the little don- key that carried our camping outfit, between us. Upon entering a little clearing at sunset, we found a wee cabin. As it looked habitable, we had decided to camp in that hut that night when suddenly up to the door marched one big giant of a man. Ah, but he was big! Why should all the lovely big men shut themselves up or run away from civilization? I-Ie was a handsome man and would have made a lovely hero on the screen.

From the time he first discovered us in his home until supper was over and we sat around the fire, I found noth- ing wrong about the big man. Then, as I was inspecting him some more, I met his eyes for the first time-and right then I saw something unusual. I know perfectly well that man could read my most secret thoughts. His eyes simply bored straight through mine and into my mind. Of course I didn't like that a bit, so I tried to drop my eyes-and found I couldn't. My will seemed to go from me, I was like a beast in a trap. Those eyes commanded me to look at him and I had to obey. I have a decided will of my own and I usually had my own way, but not this time. Suddenly Big Bill smiled, and I dropped my eyes and blushed as red as-well, I can 't describe it. Very soon after that, I went to bed because I couldn't trust myself to meet those eyes again. The next morning when I rose Big Bill was gone and Jimmy was getting breakfast. I-Ie must have gone mighty early this morning, for I haven't seen him since I turned in last night, said Jimmy as I came out of the cabin. I felt easier, for I had dreaded meeting that dreadful man again. After breakfast we packed the things on Sue and started on up the trail. It was beautiful in the woods and as I tramped along I looked and looked on as. many sides as possible at once. I didn't tell Jimmy of my experience of the
