THE MEIQCUIQY l Page Ten Through the School-fCont.j Away from the athletic field, down through the park, and up those stairs we go to enter the building through that rear entrance. In the halls we remember that time when as fresh' men we tried so hard to buy our gym books before the first day of school. That bookstore certainly recalls last minute rushes to buy theme books and form sheets or stay after school. How many unusual bargains in second hand books were struck up in front of those windows while new books for the same price were being sold inside? Up the stairs we dash to our lockers before the bell rings. Most of us would hardly invite anyone to look inside at the hopeless jumble of papers and books therein exhibited. If the door jams, if the key breaks off, if a hook is missing, who is ever willing with a cheery smile to come to the rescue? None other than our fast friend, the janitor, whose cheery hello greets us early and late. Surely we can't offer him enough thanks for all he does to keep Rivf erside in the excellent shape it is always in. Once in our assembly we settle down to catch up on that forgotten homework, only to be dis' turbed by the necessity of going to the office to explain why little johnny completely vanished yesterday during second hour and to say where he was, why he was there when he was there, and why he should never be there again if simif lar impulses to skip a class and enjoy the park instead of the balcony reoccur. That office is a source of much agitation. The queer feeling which occurs when a telephone call brings one into the office cannot be described, it can only be experienced. The time clock with its inter' esting plunger is not to be forgotten. The case of locker keys sometimes opens too often for poor unfortunates who have holes in their pockets. There is a very interesting collection of pictures on the various walls which are especially to be observed when one is wait' ing to go behind the swinging gate which ref turns behind to give the necessary impetus to overcome any stagefright experienced when one is headed for the inner office and a tete a tete with Mr. Chamberlain. But wait! We will see more if you read on! CContinued on Page 461

THE MEIQCUIQY Pagz' Tfwrlw' Sonnet to Riverside Success is our ambition as we leave Dear Riversideg and let us gain our prize! First we must set a worthy mark, then rise To reach the goal we set out to achieve. Esteemed is he who aids us to retrieve A little of the joy that life deniesg Let each of us be one whose toil supplies That end-who worked with little to receive. O Riverside, with thee as fostering guide We've shaped our lives-success is now our aim. Let not the breach between us grow too wide In after years. Wliat memories thy name Brings back to us!-the name of Riverside. For famed thou art, and worthy of that fame. Joseph Kneeland
