WHEN WE WERE FRESHMEN We came as little Freshmen, Our eyes downcast in gloom, XVe felt like homeless orphans When asking for our room. Once inside our heads we lifted And looked about to see Some other shrinking freshman To keep us company. We saw him just beside us, And firmly clasped his hand, NVe felt like storm-tossed sailors Once more upon the land. NVe raced about from class to class, Mute-eyed and in despair, Each teacher told us books to buy And how, and when, and where. Our school days now are over, Yet when we think-alas! It was hard to be a freshman, Yet we loved the freshman class. , -NATHALIE CASE. SPRING To deadened hearts, the steady beat Of rain upon the roof, The melting ice that floods the street, The gutters where the rivers meet, Is but a dreary proof. Of Winter-always bad-at worst. But how I pity them! As really, I do think them cursed With Blindness of the Soul, whose Spring song is one of blame. c'Qx1giQ' Qx1QiC35Q4 KS CCQIQKQ 1!QqfliIQ first For rather should one want to sing CWhen fairy-soft 'tis here! Of all the Silvery Beauty, Spring With primrose footsteps sweetly brings The love-time of the year, Of robins nesting in the trees, The Springtime's heralds dear, Of snowy blossoms in the breeze, Who laugh to scorn old Winter's Without a bit of fear. The daffodils in bright array, Dancing to the Wind, Give promise of another day As lovely, in another way,- So you will quickly find. The May-day lilalirsggifeet the June With dainty scent, and sweetg The birches are a silver tune Played i11 the light of a lonely moon, With petals at your feet. VVithout the Winter, deep and drear, How to love the Spring that's here? Every sorrow is, you see, A promise of joys to be. -NIARJORIE GALPIN. April, 1923. THE LOST FRE SHMAN One day, as I walked thru my class room, I was weary and ill at ease, When loud, like the blast of a trumpet I heard a Senior sneeze. p I looked around in amazement, The dreadful sight made me blench A Senior surmounted by glasses A-studying hard at his French!! I tottered, and would have fallen, On seeing him study like that, The sight was the more interesting That he b'longed to the A.D.S. frat. ,,, ,,,,,3,,,, ,g,,,,,3 75 3 S Q S22 1 53532 1 , H071 gc Qc C c gg cvicc qfrc czcrqvg-c freeze

So saying, he drew from his French book The latest of 0ppenheim's art, And said, 'tFor a camouflage, Daudet Possess no real counterpart.'l tlVith apologies to Adelaide Proctor! -RIARJORIE GALPIN, M9233 ie CAN HE DO IT? XYhere can George Murtha buy a cap for his knee Or a key for the lock of his hair? Can his eyes be called an academy Because there are pupils there? In the crown of his head What jewels are found? Who travels the bridge of his nose? If he wants to shingle the roof of his mouth Would he use the nails of his toes? Or beat the drums of his ears? Can the calf of his leg eat the corn on his toe Then why not grow corn on his ear? Can he sit in the shade of the palm of his hand? Can the crook on his elbow be sent to jail? If so, what did it do? How can he sharpen his shoulder blade? I'll be darned if I know-do you? EXIT R.O.T.C. Gone but not forgotten is the great R.O.T.C., The colonel and the captain With their thrilling soldiery, The sturdy line of warriors with heavy pack and gun, The days of tedious hardship and the loads of jolly fun. ' The colonel's voice, the sergeants, yells are gone forevermore, The dreary hikes, the double time that left us all footsore, ' The classes skipped, special period slips, the bitter with the sweet, Parading through the Glen Street dump in rai11 or snow or sleet. But peace restored to earth again, the soldiers, day is o'er. They're home a.gain and bonusless, back from a foreign shore, And we ambitious boys in school, all happy, bright, and free, Lay down our guns, pick up our books- farewell R.O.T.C. -ROBERT SNEIDEMAN H9245 SF 3? SF PASSES I have some little passes that go in and out with me, And what can be the use of them is more than I can see. VVhenever I'm a minute late I'm told to get a pass, And I have to have it with me when I go into my class. The funniest thing about them is the way they disappear, You have one-then you haven't-and it's really very queer. XVhen your teacher asks you for it it's certain to be gone, And you travel to the office, to get an- other one. I havenlt any notion of how they came to be, And the foolish man that made them Ild really like to see. They're an ever-present nuisance, and I think that I shall try, To come back when I'm very old, and get a pass to die. -DOROTHY HALE H9231 Q-gg, qi 4' Qggg gs CAQYK Zic'Qi1ZjiCqT Si D-p'5s 22 fiifjj 3-55 5 :Q 3-1'5s 1 1 L QQQQQXZQCQ xzxicc x1Zicqx1Qicgi Ds11Sbb521x3p321xb Qbblfs 2:51 qrfffg 4,1 fa Qgfvc fc QYQ45 fc 455-1 gg 1 Yssgzrxyzigzgprz gpzxsr Y: -gin 5 mei
