Later he returned to England just as the firemen were washing Woolworth’s five- and ten-cent store with a hose in New York.

THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 7 of these two holes and I came to a large hill; on the opposite side of the hill I discovered two small craters from which I heard, ‘We are the nose, we are the nose.” I walked a very short distance when I came to a hill shaped like a man’s upper lip. Between this hill and another hill which, I suppose, formed the lower lip, was a crater from which came the words, “You have now discovered why you can see the face on the moon. Return to earth, and, when you look up at me, remember how my resemblance to a face is formed.” To my surprise, T found I was gradually floating downward, and in a very short time I was being wheeled through the garden to the house by my nurse. I begged her to let me sit in the garden a short time and look at the moon. This made the nurse laugh. [ asked her what she was laugh- ing about and she told me I had just told her the strangest story about the moon—while I was sleeping. Myrrrie CAMPBELL, 725. Juniors are we right and strong Careful as we are each day, Useless to deny. Love our schoolroom as we may, Now I hope our twelve remain, And our schoolmates dear. I for one shall try. So we have no time to play, Order must we have, Soon will be our closing year. Rules we must obey. x aE NE. 24 “MIXED COMPOSITION.” Today Bobby was unusually uneasy. It was impossible for him to keep his mind on the theme he was writing in History. A few days ago he had been at the movies and since then the comedy seemed to be a part of Bobby also. Continuously it was in his mind. Realizing the period was nearly over, he hastily wrote the following composition: “Clumbus discovered America in 1492.) I had to laugh when he fell down on the ice. He was the only one who thought the world was round because the woman, a fat one, crossed the street and blocked the traffic. To prove it, he set sail when the cop made a mistake and got a suit-case full of snakes instead of jewelry. It is to Clumbus that we owe the discovery that when the Ford came to a hill it went around to save gasoline.

THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 9 CHARACTER-SKETCH OF “ROSALIND.” Rosalind is the daughter of the banished duke. She is lively, kind- hearted, gentle and true. She is tall, and slim, and very pretty. Even in her disguise as Ganymede, she is thoroughly feminine, and never once loses our respect. She is quick to come to a decision and quick to put force behind her words. This is shown when her uncle banished her from his court; she made up her mind quickly as to what was to be done, and carried out her plans successfully. She is witty and humorous and often she turns her troubles into a jest and later into a joy. She often felt badly at heart, but passes everything off with a joke. She is naturally happy, but, because of her father’s banishment, she is at times sad. Her love is easily won, but she is always true and incapable of change. This is shown by her affection for Celia. MTS DIDO'S CURSE. (Free Translation, Virgil, Book IV.) Sun, thou who doth illumine all deeds of mortals with thy flames, And Juno, interpreter of these cares and a conscious witness, And Heeate invoked with shrieks by night at the three crossroads throughout the cities, And avenging Furies, and gods of the dying Elissa, Hear these my words, and turn your aid to my sufferings, and grant our prayers. If it is necessary that this accursed life touch port, and thus the fates of Jupiter demand, At least, troubled, and in arms, in war with a daring people, An exile from his land, snatched from the embrace of lulus. Let him seek aid, and let him see the funeral-piles of his own men. Let him not enjoy a kingdom or the desired light, But let him fall before his day, unburied in the midst of the sand. I pray with these words, I pour out this last ery with blood. Then, O Tyrians, with hatred torment the offspring and the entire future race. Let there be no love to the people. nor pledges of friendship. ILet some avenger arise from our bones who will pursue the Trojan colonists with fire brands and a sword. I pray for shores opposed to shores, waves to waves, and arms to arms. Let them and their descendants fight. ELEANOR DENNISs, '25.
