OAK LEAVES Suddenly we noticed that the fog was lifting, and from the fleecy banks were beginning to peep the rolling hills behind Queenstown until we saw more and more of the Irish countryside in the charm of the setting sun. The water was still hidden from us by the fleecy whiteness so that it seemed as though Ireland was floating on the clouds while the city of Queenstown, nestling below the farm-dotted hills, looked like a Paradise for any wanderer. G. C. FILIA AGRICOLAE Galba est agricola bonus. Filiam pulchram et multas gallinas habet. Filia gallinas curat quod gallinas amat. Agricola non navigat quod undas timet. Filia agricolae patriam amat, et filia nautae undas amat. Diana, dea lunae, puellas curat, quod puellae sunt bo11ae et deae multas rosas dant. Filia Latonae, Diana, puellas amat. Multas olivas habet. Statua Dianae est pulchra. Ante silvas undae sunt altae. Filiae bonae agricolae nautaeque in patria semper sunt laetae, et saepe navigant. SALLY RUssELL, '38. LUNA NOVA Luna nova est domina clara, Superba et pulchra est. Luna nova est semper parva 3 Saepe post casam navigat luna, Post casam nautae est. ETHEL WENTWORTH, '8. 22

OAK LEAVES FROM OUR YOUNGER PENS A DAY'S JOURNEY The Sun opened his eyes as he heard his alarm clock going off. Was it time for him to get up so soon? What would he see today as he went his round? After eating his breakfast he went to the kitchen window and looked out upon the world. Everything seemed so cold and dreary that he decided it was time for him to wake the birds and people. He stole out so very quietly that the people didn't know he had risen until the birds began to sing. After a little while he stopped at Orion's house to see his friend but while he was there the sky filled with clouds and it began to rain. The people were sorry the Sun had gone in but they took out their umbrellas and made the best of it. After spending a few hours with Orion, the Sun came out and resumed his journey. The people were now very happy. All at once the Sun caught a glimpse of a beautiful hilltop where he saw girls riding horseback, taking pictures, playing tennis, and doing other delightful things. He smiled warmly at them and wished he could prolong his stay. Sighing with disappointment at leaving the scene of such a good time, he hurried on toward the West, travelling over a beautiful river, distant hills and then over cities and towns until he reached his home. That night he told his mother that he thought Oak Grove, with its lovely woods, terraces, flowers, and happy girls, was the best place he had seen on earth. RUTH FRANCES BROWN. FOG To leave a warm fireside and go out into a damp and drizzling fog would be agony for some but not to those who love the beauty and mystery of fog, whether on land or sea. Last summer when we went back to England, we landed first at Queenstown, Ireland, where the harbor is treacherous, especially in fog. Soon we could hear the deep boom of the lighthouse warning us to steer clear of the place where the Celtic had gone down. Presently our Duchess stopped, not daring to go farther. Many felt sorry about the fog because they had wished to see the lush Irish landscape dotted by quaint little white farmhouses, but I was content for the present to peer into the mystery of the fog and wonder what might be just beyond this white veil- 21
