58 THE NORTHLAND ECHO Haunting Shadows Sometimes when a shadow crosses my path, As shadows sometimes do, I think back to the good old days When I strolled this path with you: And oft times when I close my eyes, I see your sweet dear face, Then you're gone again into the skies, And I sit and stare into space. Ah yes! When a shadow crosses my path, As you know they often do, My heart leaps back to those happy days, When I strolled this path with you. MR. S. HARDWICK The Scots Return 'Twas a bonnie Highlander came home, Sick leave we've heard it said, And a bonnie lass at the Junction Was the ailment that he had For as he lay with fevered brow He pined and pined until The orderly was forced to allow him leave, He was so ill! And then he came this Highlander, To see his bonnie lass Well, he could 'nae wait to see her, So he called her from the class. Then she grew pale, 'twas her bonnie lad Of Regiment forty-eight. And next he asked her if,- Weel-with him she'd make a date! And she answered in the affirmative With deepest of concern And she floated back with dreamy looks No time for thought for us or books, Her laddie had returned!

Wiles If I serve him T-bone steak, And a luscious peach shortcake, If I invitingly prepare Slippers, pipe and easy chair, If I nestle at his knee And look at him adoringly, Do you suppose my man will guess The scene is set for a new dress? Oh Johnny, It's Been So Long but Could I Forget You? I Thought About You ever since I was a Girl with the Pigtails in My Hair. There I Go, thinking of Blueberry Hill Where Two Dreams Met. I know Iill Never Smile Again till the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano.

As You All Know XIC Coll. has another outstanding poem writer in the person of Marjorie Unger. She has just completed two sensational new poems which she has agreed to let the Northland Echo publish for your benefit. The first poem A Cabin in the Pines was written by Miss Unger after she had been stroll- ing with a certain young man, and as they were walking they passed a cabin surrounded by pines. The second poem Haunting Shadows was written under different circumstances. Miss Unger with her note book was watching a fashion show when the shadows of the models stirred her mind and prompted her to write this poem. The First Poem A Cabin in the Pines Up on the hills topping the sky A bluebird is singing a lullaby: And in these hills standing all alone Is a one story cabin built of stone: And oh! The sweet smell of birch and pine With silver tipped leaves that twist and shine. And down by the path is a winding creek, A rendezvous shelter such as all lovers seek: And oh! In the evening when the moon is sub- lime, There comes to your nostrils, the smell of sweet pine. Here the dawn has its magic too, When the sun appears in a bed of blue: And the morning-glory spreads its lovely fan, And sits in the sun to get all the heat it can. So if you are tired, and need some quick Stop at Pine Cabin,-don't pass by it!

Jokes Diner: What on earth is this broth made from, water? Surely it isn't chicken broth? Waiter: Well, sir, it's chicken broth in its infancy. It's made out of the water the eggs were boiled in. Three proprietors of chicken farms were be- ing questioned by an S. A. man. What do you feed your hens? he asked the first. Corn. You're under arrest! We use corn to feed peoplelw The second overheard this conversation and replied to the same question: Corn husks. You're under arrest! We use the husks to make cloth. And you?,' he said, turning to the third. The latter replied, I give my hens the money and tell t.hem to go and buy their own foodli' Limericks Annabelle had a face like a dream Her voice never raised to a scream But retiring at night Her face was a sight For her skin was all blemished with cream. A fat man just hasn't much chance To impress the fair sex at a dance When they played the Paul Jones The air fills with groans And he always ends up in short pants. There was a young girl up the river Whose parents once sent her for liver She went to the show And spent all her dough Now her parents will never forgive her.
