14 THE MUNHISKO A BARGAIN SALE Down at Kaufmann’s, The Big Store , Between Fourth and Fifth Avenues, Was a wonderful sale—“900’ pairs Of misses and women’s shoes. No reason now to he shoeless, The mind of the male invents, When shoes can he had in all sizes and styles. For only ninety-five cents ! Ninety-five cents! cries the female: “I'm needing a new pair of shoes, And such an offer as this ’Twould he a sin to refuse”. The next train into the city Took the female, all primed for the sale. She pictured the joy of a pair of new shoes As she sped o’er the glittering rail. What a vision the male had experienced! For much to the female’s dismay. After wandering about, she finally found out There was no such sale there that day. To tell the truth very briefly, She had no serious intent To carry home shoes she never could use Till she became feeble and bent. Perhaps there might he such a chance As shoes for ninety-five cents; But they’re sure to be styleless and shapeless And that any female resents. So this disappointed young female Departed from out “The Big Store And vowed and declared since from this she’d been spared. She would search for Male bargains no more. —Alice Himes. SPRING 1. Spring is the very best time of the year, Everyone is happy and full of good cheer, Even the birds give forth shrill notes And the children shed their winter coats. 2. The first sign of spring is the kites that fly Up in the sky so very high. March is the month for this good sport, For winds will blow of every sort. 3. Winds that chase hats down the street. Winds that make the children shriek; Winds that bring with them clouds, hail and rain, And dash it against the window pane. 4. The trees will bud and the leaves unfold, An old, old story often told. The prettiest story for one to hear. That this is the best time of the year. —Jane Bryan. A POEM-FAREWELL The end of school doth now draw nigh, The time at which rises many a sigh. As all the good old Seniors then Do start their lives as women and men. There is a sadness in every heart Because, it seems, they now must part With a prize which is now held dear. And thoughts of which will e’er be near. Most all their friends will drift apart, As each is forced his career to start If he or she intends to complete The tasks which God would have him meet. But though no longer in person here. We can’t forget you, never fear; By you I mean the students who Whilst we were near, were always true. Last of all, we wish to thank The teachers who put up with pranks Of those whose energy was too much To refrain themselves from doing such. —Alberta Stafford. YOU KNOW Don’t say, “Say”! And don't say, “See”! Don’t say, “Listen”! And don't say, “Gee!” Don’t powder your nose In the public gaze; Don’t polish your nails In the public ways. Don’t talk so much About “him” and “his”, Don't say so often. “I’ll say it is”. And don’t say “dearie”, And don't chew gum. And then I'll say the The millenium’s come. —Copied.

THE MUNHISKO 15 QUITE SO Munhall is a ship, the students the crew, The juniors, the sophs, and freshmen too. The seniors are landing, the port is near, They soon will be gone, sped on by a cheer By those, as departing, they leave behind To guide the ship and its duties mind. May 'fliS-erew be-always clean and bright In work or play; bide by the right. And the seniors as they pause on their way Will turn again and this message say, “Do your work well day by day, For nothing but good will ever pay.” Then carry on! Jack Tauber. TAKING WAYS She took my flowers, rich and rare, She took my words and loving care, She took my candy and my books, She took my hands in shady nooks, She took all that I could buy. And then she took the other guy. But now the tables have been turned: Still taking things must be her terms; She’s taking washing by the day. She then hands over all the pay; She’s taking sewing, when she gets it; She’s taking scoldings for her efforts And all these things she has to take While she washes, sews, and bakes. —Margaret Ruff. THE SEASON I LOVE BEST I love the long, bright, summer days, When through the grass the cattle graze, And in the tree tops each bird sings, And the sweet fresh air with music rings. Then to the happiness of all. Around the corner peeps bright fall. And as the leaves are growing old. She turns their color from green to gold. But soon Miss Fall grows cpiite too old. Then comes Miss Winter,—oh. she’s so bold! And as the wintry wind does blow, She carpets our fields with pure white snow. But best of all. I love the spring. Which, with its rain, sweet flow’rs does bring; And in the month of sweet, red roses She comes around and the schools she closes. —Mary Mastascusa. THE FARMERS’ DAY At early morn they do arise And gaze up into the blue skies; They see the dawn of another day, And smell the scent of new mown hay. At breakfast time they do their share, And eat as much as e’er they dare; Then to their daily tasks they go, For they the grain and seed must sow. They hurry along through early morn To hoe the fields of ’taters and corn; They welcome the ring of the dinner bell. And a cool drink from the mossy well. Throughout the afternoon they toil, Tending the flock and tilling the soil; The heat from the glowing midday sun Makes the perspiration run. When the sun sets in the west, And each has done his very best, Homeward they tread with weary feet, Knowing their tasks will soon be complete. And when the shades of night draw near, The vesper bells of the church they hear; And each one with lowered head Thanks the Lord for his daily bread. Albert Frantz ’26. DEES I think that I shall never see, A mark much higher than a D. No matter what I write about I get a D without a doubt. As long as I can pull a D I feel as happy as can be. Themes are made by fools like me, But only profs can give a D. —Copied. “LIFE” Life is short so make it sweet, For you never know what troubles you maymeet. Chuck your days just full of joy, Life is given you just to enjoy. Mind your business, guide your ship. Follow this and you’ll never slip On that pathless track called life, However great may be the strife. Dot Jones, Sr.
