The Dine Tree Alone, in the silvery moonlight, Against the dark blue sky, A stately pine was swaying, Bending o'er waters shy. The stately pine was Reality, Upright, undaunted and true, The water which it was shading Was my River of Dreams, clear, blue. The water receded, drawn on by the lwoong The pine grew enormous and shadowed it soon,- My dreams almost crashed on the rocks of despair, But the Moon disappeared, removing my care. The waters returned to the pine-tree, A river of laughter and life, Threw a veil of dreams o'er the branches And buried forever the strife. Oh! Towering pine-tree, symbol of power VVhose strength is drawn from the passing stream, Like the mighty work of the present hour, 'Tis glorified by Ideal's dream. F. GLADYS HESSELBACH l 141

March, 1929-Well, things are going fine. Plenty of work, plenty of interest, G. O. elections coming soon-electioneering-and the hall's looking like a rogues' gallery or rather an art gallery. I quake when I see those lordly beings stand and deliver them- selves in study hall on the merits of their respective parties. There are three this year, Scholastic, Service, and School Spirit. First time we've seen the platforms. Great prom- ises. By the way, I'm going to see the new Masque and Bauble presentation. Great plays- Rivals, As You Like It, L'Aiglon, and the others. April, 1929-Really, I'm so miserable. I was complimented today for my interest in a certain girl in my class, and in helping her with homework. I didn't do this out of any greatness of soul, but rather out of greatness of curiosity. She was extremely interesting to study, but I feel like a culprit after drawing out all her ideas and facts about her, just to satisfy curiosity and put her into a story we have to write as an assignment. Then to be praised for unselfish interest! Sept., 1929-Have undertaken the role of pedagogue trying to inject grammar into two immature minds. The darlings take a three-year regents and as yet do not know the difference between a preposition and a verb. However they are sample specimens of the male mind. One is a braggart, the other has an inferiority complex. Hope I'll be able to get that Arista auxilium medal. It certainly is hard work. Dec., 1929-Oh, boy, what a party at the French Club. We had more than we could eat and the orchestra was great. We danced until school closed. Marie was there all prettied up and being sweet. Jack was also there monopolizing her. I'd like to talk to him. You bring a girl to a dance and lend her without interest to someone else. He's got some business head. Well, it's time for basket ball. I must be ambling. jan., 1930-just received 96 on Cicero regents which was not as good as Dad expected. But, it will be better next regents. Charles came over and we played chess. After that -great fun dissecting frogs. . June, 1930-Well, here is the end of a good four years. I feel strangely old today thinking about my freshman year and the silly things I worried about. They really didn't matter anyhow and settled themselves in the end. Rather sorry to leave old Newtown now. Things are just becoming interesting-hops, and Arista, Res Gestae, Roosevelt Club, and Poetry Club meetings. Classmates also more interesting 3 some have actually grown up. Queer how you detest things when you have them and see their value later as I've detested school at times. Now I'm a bit afraid but extremely desirous of entering college. But there is another sphere of interest! SYLVIA BAssETT I 13 I
