NIGHT QPrize poemj Now, night steals over the sleeping world From the unknown land of sorrow- A silent sentinel keeping watch Till the glorious dawn to-m0rrOW. A somber phantom, robed in black, Jeweled with sparkling stars: A crescent moon upon her breast, A ruby set upon her crest- The rudy planet Mars. Upon the foaming ocean waves, Upon each moon lit dell, On mountain, valley, field and plain- Upon each quiet country lane Dark night has cast her spell. Thelma K. Whitmore. '24, Several of the Senior girls had so enjoyed the coffee made by a Senior boy while they were on a hike that they asked for the recipe. Very easy, was the reply. There is only one way to make coffee. Build a fire with pitch pine knots, put one quart of water and two handfuls of coffee in the pot and sit on the cover so she can't boil over. When the cover gets too hot for the seat of your trousers, the coffee is done. A strength of limb, a manly man, A heritage of blood that's clean, A loyal heart, a mind that's keen, My Man. A tender touch, a hand of might. Slow to anger, quick to fight, If the cause be for the right, My Man. Doesn't smoke and doesn't chew, Never out till after two, Has no cellar,-no home brew, My Man. Office hours are nine to three Loads of money like John D. Steno homely as can be, - My Man. P. S. But- There ain't no such animal.
