6 X LIFE SONG Wind song Whistling in the trees, Making limbs blow in a soft breeze: Rain song beating to the earth, Making one cry a little at birth? Moon song filtering to the heart Of man who loves and has to part: Swan song droning into our ear, As death, the inevitable, stalks near. SARA Moss PHILLIPS H521

YE fl. ,... ,..- Z- 15.- I D L E R is VISIONS I know a path through a woodland way, Deep-lined with silver birch and pineg ' moss, small wood-folk play, agrance's like wine. V f the bay, n its ed fr dge o leep day, And o Its balsam And there's one by the e .Wher.e purple shadows lie as Across the grass when dim grows the And twilight silences are deep.

'N 6 OUR FACULTY By the knowledge of her students you can always tell That Miss Hall teaches science and she does it very well. Good cooking, so 'tis said, wins the heart of every man: And the girls are learning quickly with the aid of Miss Sherman. In dramatics we have actresses and even actors, too. But instructors like Mrs. Lovgren are very, very few. A great many students take Latin from Miss Chase. And there is no other teacher who could ever take her place. Miss Blanchard is the lady who knows her United States And her history classes are famous for making girls learn dates. Miss Early has charge of riding Cbut everyone knows that of coursej. When some of us take riding, don't you pity the horse? Miss Wurl deals with the cubes and squares that go along with math. Who will forget those examples that often started your wrath? Mrs. Johnson and Miss Kendrick teach English, most of the time. And it's their good instruction that helps me make this rhyme. Miss Morse trains voices above the par, Sometime her students willbe operatic stars, For limber muscles and slender forms Miss Allen strives, and often mourns. Miss Welton teaches sewing, and when we make our clothes They look so much like Chanel, their difference no one knows. Miss Torres, our Spanish senorita, tries to teach us Spanish too. So far she's been successful and her pupils are not few. Secretarial subjects are not the easiest things to teach, Yet Miss Smith gets by with honors fiShe surely is a peachj . Giving rapid dictation for shorthand students fair ls the job of Miss Cote, and how we progress under her care. If you wish to be a pianist and be famous far and near, Miss Nye and Dr. Loud will teach you, and you'll learn, never fear. French and Italian are subjects we all like? When taught by the Misses Wachter and Ambrose, they're more a delight When you're in an artistic mood just go to Miss Corey: You'll become famous artists and never be sorry. Mt. lda is renowned for its principals: we hope she always will Keep up that tradition set this year with Mr. MacGill. Miss Ramsay, our dean, we shall always keep in mind For the guidance that she gave us many a trying time. BEATRICE MENAGUALE. H531
