A Journey Through A Stamp Album I take many a trip To Europe, and Asia, And far-off China, To Egypt, land of pyramid and Sphinx. I travel on the Nile and wonder at the sights Of ancient ruins. I look into the past and see the faces Of persons long since gone, Austrian Franz-Josef, And the famous Frenchman, Cardinal Richelieu, Lincoln, our great President, And good Queen Victoria. Often to the nation of France I go, To Paris and Bordeaux, Marseilles and Cannes. I'm fascinated by Mont St. Michel, little town Of crowded, winding streets, and I see The Port de la Rochelle. And last to the isle of Great Britain I go, Where I visit London Town, Also I see King George, his Queen and Mother, Then to Scotland, the Highland country. . All this as I turn the pages Of a stamp album. ANNE Wooo RAMSEY, 1942 Wdafone, 193 Q I 791

Monhegan Island The waves beat on the rocky shore, The screaming gulls above them soar. The houses of the people there Are gray and worn from salty air And from fierce storms that winters send To whirl and blow for days on end. You walk through woods on needled trails Shut off from wind and spume and gales, But ever, cross the wood bee's hum The boom breaks, of the ocean's drum. At last the forest breaks, you stand Overwhelmed by sight of the land Forming a cliff of greatest height Rugged and steepg below with might The ocean rages, frothing with foam, Attacking fiercely the sandy loam. The tides come in, the tides go out, Leaving rocks worn smooth, kelp in their route. Each wave attempts to further it's mark, Slithering, sliding, it leaves the rocks dark. After leavipg the Island the memory remains, Of Monhegan's great cliff and the ocean,s broad plains. LEE AVERY, 1941 Wiifone, 193 9 I 78 l

Smith A.B. -EDITOR Early Indian Tribes in Southwestern Ohio The Miami Indian Tribe was the branch of Algonquins which lived in the vicinity of Cincinnati. The tribes east of the Mississippi could be divided into three great families. The tribes were the Miamis, the Potawatomies, and the Eries. By the middle of the eighteenth century the Indians had been dispossessed of their homes and had settled in the Northwest Territory. The Miamis had been tenants of Ohio for a longer period than the other tribes and extended over Ohio as far as the two Miami Rivers. They did not have much of a government, but a simple democracy, if anything. Indian families of Algonquin stock possessed dialects which differed greatly. The Algonquins made as great an impression upon the White Man as any other tribe, and the Indians of Algonquin lineage appealed most to our historians, novelists, and dramatists. The Indian language is uholophrasticf' This means the compressing of a whole sentence into one word. In appearance the Indian has straight black hair, a broad face which gives the effect of high cheekbones, an aquiline nose, a slight slant oi the eye, and a scant beard. The Indian's skin has always been called red, but actually, the white manis W efifone, 193 9 I80l
