ROADS They run and run And when they get there, They keep on running— The Lord knows where. They ' ll slyly grin Around a bend, And lead you along To no good end. They ' re up, they ' re down, They are scarlet or blue. They give you a hunger For Timbuctoo. They ' re vain and lovely; They wander by ponds To look at themselves In fringes and fronds. They climb to a hilltop Just to slide down. They’re rough in the country, And smoothies in town, And hurried and hard as The money they ' re worth— But scratch the surface, And there ' s the good earth. And some roads are high, And some roads low— They ' re very much like The people you know. JOPLIN JUNIOR COLLEGE JOPLIN, MISSOURI T wo

WANDERING OUR WAY ABOUT Wandering one ' s way about J. J. C. is an amusing pastime. One may bump into anything from a club member selling cream-puffs to a Dyer addict learning that long due speech. Of course, there are times when levity is abandoned and classes are attended, but such occasions can be lightly passed over. We do have fun in these old halls and class rooms, don ' t we? We see a Rana pipiens (frog to you) being dissected in the zoology lab. Spotting Jane as she rents the thickest textbooks in the library. Friend hooks another victim. (This can be seen at almost any time.)
