Sunris© im th® F@r@sl Grey light stealing like a shadow Through the aisles of pine and fir, Shows grotesque forms here and there. An owl scoots by with aimless whirr, And lodges on a protecting bough ; So wails the coming day with dismal cry. In the dim light a blue jay squawks in glee, Then struts about with an impatient sigh. A rabbit comes slowly from his burrow And stares drowsily this way and that, Then blinks his eyes as the dim light brightens. Showing a dull glow over the needled mat. Comes a soft sound of padded feet in flight, A grey timber wolf running from the day, His rough hair smooth and sharp ears erect; His bushy tail shines like a silver spray. Aloft, a squirrel barks, A greeting to the new born sun, And calls to his slim and beautiful mate, To join him in the morning ' s run. Now the trees sway gently and in rythm. As the morning breeze caresses them. They thrill from tufted crown to hidden roots, When they greet God ' s rubied gem. —Ted Bushby, ' 26

explain your coming up the stairs carrying coat, hat and shoes at that inopportune hour? Why yes, said Mary. 1 went into Jane ' s room when I g-ot home l)ecause our sanctuary was too h)nely without my esteemed fellow sufferer. We talked till long after the lights had gone out. It finally dawned on me that you would be ter- ribly worried about me unless someone had told you where I was so I started home. I had to pass right by Miss Williams ' door and rather than give her occasion to pronounce vitui era- tions upon me for being in the halls that time of night I took off my shoes, and so she didn ' t hear me. But I happened to hear someone downstairs so slipped down to see what was up. I couldn ' t get into the laundry but listened at the keyhole and recognized Joe ' s voice. Then you ' re an accomplice to their stunt ; you should have alaiTned the neighborhood. Oh should I ' Not me, if the boys start squealing on us everything we do this would be some world to live in. I don ' t start that till I ' m as old, straight-laced and disgruntled as some other people I know. But I came upstairs and ran into you, received an unusually cordial greeting, and then you wouldn ' t let me tell you anything about what I ' d discovered. I think it is an opportune time for you to apologize to your wronged, misunderstood, yet faithful room-mate. Ora quickly bestowed a kiss on this teasing companion and said, Get back to your kids now, but gee I ' m glad you ' re so innocent. E i t; h t y - T h I

Senior Class Prophecy How often, oli how uften this lieart of mine has yearned To look into the future that its secrets might be learned. Few there are so fortunate as the future to forecast, Yet of my puny powers, this very thing was asked. I pondered long and wearily, my ijroblem hard to solve, An ouija board or ciystal l)all I hai-dly dared involve. But one night my troubles ended and my worrying was o ' er, And I saw mv Normal schoolmates as they ' ll be in ten years My position was such that before me, In a window myself I could see, And to my surprise and delight. My background was not the dark night But like a stage setting to me. And familiar faces I plainly could see. Like a drama of life in this time They passed in a long pantomime But voices I occasionally could hear, And laughter and music seemed near. First came our President, all of you know. His manner sedate, so dignified and slow, -t- Dr. Archambeau had of recent gained fame, By horticultural discoveries attached to his name TAnd the people he passed in wonder all gazed. As he nodded, smiled and his straw pile he raised. He might have been married, but that I can ' t say, But I ' m sure there was no lady with him that day. Mary Q. ' twas came next, and she sure was dolled up, A strutting along with a little bull pup. She ' d married a l roker a wealthy one too, And that she was rich might be noticed by you. She wore Paissian sable and rare jewels galore And as for clothes no one ever had more. In society ' s circle she held a high place And with handsome rich gentlemen kept in good grace, But her husband was homely with squint eyes and hooked nose; But what counts a hubby when you ' ve lots of fine clothes? And then I saw Minnie, she looked much the same. She ' d learned all the tricks of the horse racing game And made a cool million, was living in state ; But it was longer books that kept her up late. It was Iva I saw next with a pair of twin girls Bestowing loving kisses, and saying, mother ' s pearls. The children were i-ed-headed, her husband was too, And he works for the Santa Fe, you ' re to guess who?
