OAK LEAVES PERSEPHONE Persephone, Persephone, The sap stirs warm in the maple tree. Now from the clutch of her jealous lover Persephone flies to the arms of her mother. Persephone, Persephone, The buds swell red and the winds are free. Break now the bonds of the ice and snowg Ceres who bore thee long ago- Awaits thy coming, Persephone. Rise from the clinging shadows and bring To the wasted earth the promise of springg Bring happiness back to Earth and thee, So long she has waited, Persephone. Persephone, Persephone, The new sap stirs in the maple tree And broken glass is the river's blueg Earth has been waiting the long night through The buds swell red and the winds are freeg Thy mother is waiting, Persephone. STELLA CARVELL, '34, 5

OAK LEAVES through her personal ministry. While too refined to be obtrusive, she had a. deep intuitive sense of one's spiritual needs and the sweet sincerity of her concern as well as the strength of her own perfect faith have led many young people to decisions that have transformed and beautified their lives. Moon, worn thin to the width of a quill, In the dawn clouds flying, How good to go, light into light, and still Giving light, dying. She went about doing good and in her farseeing wisdom she has made careful provision that the causes she loved may go on through the years to come. Her spirit lives on and although Mrs. Woodman has gone, she is still giving light. There is an old Benediction that seems to have been fully granted in th-e life of Mrs. Woodman, whom to know was to love. May the Grace of God be in our hands, to bring healing and strength. May the Grace of God be in our eyes, to see Him as he is in His beauty and to find Him in our fellows. May the Grace of God be on our lips. May the Grace of 'God glow in our hearts. May the Grace of God make our lives gracious. May Peace and Sweetness, Comfort and Delight outshine from us, that all who touch us may touch in us the Gracious Jesus. no4.,' AQ, 4

Price of OAK I.12Avns, 32.00. OAK LEAVES has always been favored by many kind patrons who adver- tise generously in our magazine year after year. We have always appre- ciated it, and we are more grateful than ever, in these times of economic distress, to the staunch friends who are continuing their support. We also realize that some who have felt compelled to suspend ,such favors will be only too happy to resume them as soon as business improves. We also appreciate the generosity of our teachers who have contributed to our funds, the cooperation of scores of students who have submitted so many more articles than we could print, and the unselfish devotion of Mrs. Owen who has again given time and strength as our faculty adviser. 6
