FI- '.5,?2 Mr. Longfellow Didn't Know the Half of It The day is done and the darkness Falls from the wings of Night, As a bomb comes flying downward From a bomber in its flight. I see no lights in the village Gleam through the rain and the mist, For a black-out has dropped o'er the village So we can the foe resist. A feeling of terror comes o'er me A cold and deadly fear As I hear the anti-aircraft guns Shooting planes down like deer. The flames leap higher and higher As they bomb the utility plants, And the people run for the bomb-proof cells To escape the bullets that pass. Then suddenly everywhere quietness reigns As the bomberis motors grow faint, And the people venture forth once more To smother the hungry flames. Come, read to me some poem Some simple gem from an earlier day, That shall soothe this sickening feeling' As the bombers fly away. Then the misery and worry, And the cares that infest this day, Shall retreat like the host of invaders, And less noisily rumble away. RUTH PENNINGTON 66 'WEE

FOUR OLD HANDS Inky handed pioneers three Working on the prophecy. No, it's four with Marian, Who's sitting on the red Chartreuse walls and crim- son rugs, And all of us are going bugs. We try to think, but no can do, Remembering things we never knew. The clock ticks on, and time goes by, Look-Gloria's about to cry. Dixon tears her hair with rage, Kruger slowly bends with age. Alas, three hundred strong are they, 'I'hese names that cause our hair to gray. We lean against our desks and work 'Til shadows round the candle lurk. The day is come, the march begun, The new school song is be- ing sung, The girls are marching down the aisle, But four are missing from the file. There in that musty room they sit, The prophecy is still un- writ. Roosevelt is even out, Louis, too, has lost a bout. Oh, some Fine day in years to come, The prophecy's at long last done, They'll at last get their di- ploma Then hobble to the old maker in decorating arsenic divan. maidys homa- . , .2 A , - 1 1 L 1, ' V .
