THE CHIMES 19 Instead of waiting till to-morrow night, let's camp out to- night. It would give our mothers and fathers a good scare. They think we're so timid and all that, maybe they won't hereafter !' Good idea! Let's! I'm willing! broke from all the boys, and they started chattering as fast as they could. Here! Here! Come to order! We'll vote on it. All those who want to stay to-night say 'Yes,' Red shouted excitedly, completely forgetting his parliamentary law and order. Yes, all the boys cried. Come on. Let's start now! Where'U we camp? asked Billy, as they poured out of the shack. Doesn't it look dark? Let's not go way over to the pines to-night. We can next time. Yeah, assented one of the boys. Let's go over behind Old Man Brown's house, and sleep in back of his barn. It's all woods over in back of there, any way. The boys ran along the road a little way, and then they cut across the cauliflower field of Old Man Brown. Here's a good place, shouted back Red, who had gone ahead to find a location for their camp and had already climbed the fence which separated the field from the barn. Gee Whiz, cried Teddy, as he paused before climbing over the fence, doesn't it look awful dark. Perhaps my mother was right. We might get cold, you know. Yes, said Billy, just suppose we did get cold. We couldn't play football or anything. 'Let's wait 'till next week, suggested Jack, glancing ner- vously behind him. Yes, let's, said another boy. As the words left his mouth, Billy tripped over one of the cauliflower stubs and went down with a bang. This was just what the rest of them needed to start them for home and off they went on a run, tumbling and tripping over the field. Red, who had already climbed over the fence, took one look around, lost all his bravery in that look, and followed their example. Oh, by the way, mentioned Billy to his father as he start- ed for bed, we've decided not to camp out this year. You don't mean it, replied his father with a smile. Why so? Too many skunks out in November, said Billy, as he dis- appeared up the stairs. Sarah Baker, '28. Rita O'Hern : Say, Eleanor, what poem did you learn for English? Eleanor Cole: It Can't Be Done.'

18 THE CHIMES MORN The wind arose one cool, clear night; It lifted my spirit to the restless stars, Exalted it in unshaped dreams. My soul was moved among these mysteries As I stood meekly gazing In a rhapsody of silence. My tranquil calm continued, — The moon smiled as I gazed at the countless stars Slowly twinkling away a prelude To the dawning of a new day, A promise from God to all. The fulfillment of his presence. H. Alexander, '26. CAMPING OUT A group of boys in the last days of autumn had gathered around the open fire in their shack, as they called it, to dis- cuss the possibilities of camping out. Well, said Jack, one of the leaders, I think it would be great fun. Kids are always camping out in the summer, but I never heard of any one camping out in the fall. The idea of being scared. To hear my mother talk, anybody'd think we were babies. Anyhow, if any of the rest of you fellows get scared, I shall stay there anyway. My mother and father said I could if I wanted to, but they said they would expect me back, as soon as it began to get dark, said Billy, another of the brave pioneers. These boys had formed a sort of club, named The Explor- ers, and they had decided that the proper thing for such brave fellows as they were to do was to camp out of doors around a camp fire for at least one night. They had arranged a system by which each boy had to stand watch for one hour of the night, for in spite of their fathers' joking and scoffing at their expense, they thought there might be a possibility of wild animals, and of course they must be on the safe side. Besides, it was altogether more realistic to them to have a night watch as they called it. Well, said Red, who had been elected leader of The Ex- plorers, let's put the matter to a vote. All those who are in favor, and whose mothers and fathers have given their consent say, 'Aye.' Aye ! shouted all the boys in unison. I tell you what! cried Teddy excitedly. I've got just the thing. Why didn't I think of it before? What are you talking about? asked Jack impatiently. Go ahead ! Break the news !

20 THE CHIMES NIGHT Soothing night! Its cool breath gently strikes one's face Sweeping dewy mist in from the sea. A shadowy moon half peeps from a silvery cloud. All is enveloped in the inky blackness of night. Waves gently lapping the moist sands Make quiet music. Far off among the reeds a frog croaks, Disturbed by some chance from his rest. How still the night — How restful and how peaceful. And memories — . The Girls' and Boys' Glee C ubs are planning a demonstra- tion of the work of the Glee Clubs and the orchestra. They are not giving a show but a form of a concert. This annual work of the Glee Clubs will not be like any- thing they have ever done before. They have planned rather a unique evening. The program is comprised of Indian se- lections. There will be scenes in costumes illustrating Indian legends. The girls are giving Mon-dah-Min, an American-Indian legend set to music, as a cantata. Mon-dah-Min means corn. Among the Ojibwa Indians each spring, a chosen maiden must walk around the field of young corn, at night, alone, w th a trailing blanket. This is magic protection for the growmg corn from beetle, bug and crow, and will make a bountiful harvest. The boys will give an interpretation of Indian legends. The orchestra will play characteristic music which, we know, will add effect to this concert. We hope everyone who is able will attend this demonstra- tion. The date will be announced later. Watch for it in the Scituate Herald. H. L. Wilson, '26. DRAnaTic Eleanor M. Cole, '28, Dramatic Editor.
