EWEIHH ilu itliemnriam THE EXHORTATION OF THE DAWN This poem represents the creed of life followed by M'aynard M. Hart, former prinripal of Roosevelt High School, who died iwarrh IS, 1933. Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. ln its brief course lie all zhe Verities and realities of your existence- The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendour of beauty,- For yesterday is but a dream. And tomorrow is only a vision: But today well lived Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness. And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day!

EUJENH EDITCJRIALS THE REAL OZARKS OMEONE. has said that the Ozarks are Gods Country. Doubt- less the same claims have been made for other sections of the United States. Railroads and various companies advertise and exploit the Ozarks as an ideal playground, but to me it seems that the sordid touch of commercialized attractions rob those blue hills of something indefinable and yet tangible. Perhaps it is the numerous filling stations on the highways, or perhaps it is the highways them- selves. But something is spoiled, something lacking, and l find the real Ozarks off the beaten paths, on comparatively untraveled regions. l may sound idealistic and I probably am, but to encounter a hot dog stand when l want to find nature at its best, pure, unspoiled, is to me like a rock thrown through a church window. l find the unspoiled Ozarks, the real Ozarks, where there are quiet, tree- bordered lanesg where there are fields and stretches of solemn forestg where the black and white oak trees are companions to the walnut, the sturdy hickory, and the cedar, where little pools of water collect in dry washes and creek bottoms, where the solitude is such that the trees seem in hushed conversationg where the lizard scuttles at one's approach and the rustle seems loud: where the rabbit sits and stares in curiosity before bounding awayg where one can actually listen to the complete silenceg and where there are not the ravaged flower patches, the torn tree branches, the honk of an automobile, the idiotic chatter of vacationists. There, and there only, can l find the real Ozarks. ROBERT BAUM THE OZARKS-THE PLAYGROUND OF STQ LOUIS ENNSYLVANIA has its Alleghanies: Colorado, its Rocky Moun- tains: and Missouri, its Ozarks. St. Louisians may Well be proud of the Ozarks, not only because they constitute the only region between the Rockies and the Alleghanies that can be called mountains, but because they are fascinatingly beautiful. Where is there more picturesque scenery than that which the Ozarks afford us? The Ozarks offer enjoyment during each season of the year. It is only in the summer, however, one may enjoy this vacation land to the full. Riding or hiking along the scenic highways, camping in the state parks, and fishing, swimming, or canoeing in the many beautiful streams of the state-these are some of the many pleasures which may be indulged in during the summer months. Surely this is an enviable playground for the people of St. Louis! Fifteen
