His face was dark, bereft of joy, And low he bent his head. How many boys in the Senior play? And how many may you be? How many? Twelve in all, he said And sadly looked at me. 7 And where are the rest, I pray you tell? He answered, Twelve are we.

g 7 is A lllsl, e l! QA A,ff ' J D il l? Mata Monday, Feb. 26. For the wind was blowing fiercely And the snow kept coming down, Since the year of '87 ' Not a worse had swept the town. Many were the twelve-foot snowdrifts We encountered on the way, But we went through just like snow- plowsg We were mighty brave that day. Many were the little Freshmen That were lost in banks of snow, But the green stains left behind them Showed where we should digging go. When at last we reached the High School We were shocked, I do declare, For besides some forty pupils The whole Faculty was there. We did wondrous work that morning, Such was never seen before, The work of seven periods We did instead of four. And the Board was so delighted That to show it was not slow, We were sent home at tWelve-thirty- And you ought to've seen us go. -A. Hammerson, '13. MARCH March comes blustering in and tries to outdo his brother February in his wild ways. He howls, and shrieks, and blows, and sends everyone scurrying for shelter. He is the boldest and most fickle child of Mother Year, and his naughty pranks greatly distress his mother. He loves to flirt with gentle West Wind, and he en- tices the frail plants into putting forth their tender green shoots. West Wind's gentle breath soothes and caresses them, and March wickedly puts forth his icy fingers to pluck them. The frail blos- soms cringe beneath his cruel clutch, and the mischief-maker skips away in glee. So Mother Year sends her winsome daughter April to nurse the sufferers back to health. March is called home, and he smilingly greets his fair sister, but in his heart he solemnly vows Ven- geance, and at times he has succeeded in getting Winter to help him in playing tricks On April. -Hildegarde Schacht, '13. MARCH Friday, Mar. 1. Helen Van Arsdale, Byrd Jones and Jacob Weinberg are working industriouslyto procure an ap- propriate class motto and flower. Saturday, Mar. 2.
