1 24 o o 0 o 0 o THE SOUTHERN BELL POEMS SUBMITTED BY I-1 Gypsies Mary Young I see a Gypsy caravan, Gay-colored wagons with a band Of laughing girls with jeweled hands And swarthy men who own no land, A destination? They have none. Their goal is the trail of the setting sun. I see their wandering trail unfold, Taunting the weakg calling the bold. I often feel I'd like to be With them, the bold and ever free. O I Secrets of a Toy Shop Elvia Knox One cold, winter evening, not long ago, When the air was full of the driven snow, After putting away each ball and top, The toymaker closed his tiny shop. Now, all was quiet till twelve o'clock, And then the toys began to talk, The tin soldiers soon set out to march, Around and under the candy arch. Then china dollies, dressed in green, Did a Maypole dance for the dollie queen, Then sailor dolls gave a sailor's dance, And brown wooden ponies started to prance. They then all watched a ball relay, And as all such fairy stories say, They left no trace for the toy-man to find K Next morning when he came at nine. C O May Baskets Alice MacKenzie Did you give a May-basket on the first of May, Filled with Howers beautiful and gay, Sweet posies, pink, and red, and blue, And flowers of every other hue? Was the receiver a sweet, little she, Or was it a handsome and gallant liheli? Maybe it was your own dear mother Whom you love better than any other. But I am certain that the receiver Will not be unhappy or a griever. Instead if I'm not entirely wrong, They'll dance around and sing a song. 1 l Pegasus - the symbol and inspiration of poetry' The Brook Frank Britto The babbling brook on yonder rill Flows gently onward, down the hill. It makes me think of long ago When to its shores I used to go. It makes me wish I were there yet, To Watch its ripples clear and wet. But now I'm very old and worn, If I were there, I'd feel new-born. I hope and pray that soon some day I'll rest on its shores and there will stay. O O Mother Mary 0'Hara, I-1 Mother, with her lovely charm, Tries to keep us safe from harm, She guides and helps and cares for us, And tries to keep us good and just. She works and toils for us all, She does little loving tasks, And to repay her for this work The love of her children is all she asks. 0 o Good Wishes, Seniors Josephine Rosato, II-4 Graduation day is near, Which means farewell to Seniors dear. And yet you leave us with much cheer, To enter on your high school year. Although you all have reached your goal, And worked with might and main, We hope your power will still unfold, When you have reached a higher plane. Class Ode Genevra Pye, III-3 School days are nearly over, The time has come to say Goodbye to all, because we've come To a parting of the way. We've had our joyful Prom at last, And our exams are through, And now with many sad regrets, We say, Southern, adieu. We hope you'll miss our cheery group, With gayety alive, And that you'll always bear in mind The class of '35. I O Graduation Song Eleanor Porter, III-1 Tune: Auld Lang Syne Our school days now are past and gone, And yet we linger near, For sweet the joy that we have known, 'Tis sad to part from here. The world before us brightly lies, Here memories love to dwell. With saddened hearts and tear- dimmed eyes, We bid to all, farewell! Long will our hearts recall each joy Of friendship we found here, For time can never more destroy The memories burning clear: Of other scenes and other cares Our lips their tales must tell, Each heart your tender mem'ry shares, Friends and teachers, now farewell!

I was sitting in my study last night reflecting that it was the fif- teenth anniversary of my graduation strains of were fad- announcer my heart what he from the Southern. The a very dull radio program ing away, when the brought news that made leap. He was presenting called the Southern Revue. I knew then that he was going to present many of my former classmates on his program. He introduced the guest announcer, Irene Ponte, who is now chief of the A. B. C. Knot the Ele- vator COJ. She turned the program over to the first number which was a dialogue between Barbara Mc- Cauley and Dorothy Feleciano, re- peating some of Mr. Mooney's humor of 1935. Following them came Clara Dratch and June Glover, who were given a chance to sing about Amer- ica's new sweetheart, Annie Howe. Then the announcer introduced the sponsors of the program, Actina and Sophie Gazunis, speaking in the inter- est of their new product, the Na- tional Sneezeless Pepper. Next came a sound like the march- ing of the ninth grade through the corridors of old Southern, and think- ing it was static, I made a move to turn the radio volume down. The voice of Irene broke in with this: The sounds you now hear are com- ing from the nimble feet of three Broadway stars: Dorothy Davenport, Florence Capobianco, and Theresa Sullivan. QHearing this, I thought to myself, I must see Ruth Balboni and Beverly Bent, who run the Loew's Capitol on Broadway, and get a few tickets to see these girls dance.D The next number brought Anna Di Gregorio to the loudspeaker, ,and Anna gave a short talk on the outlook for the baseball season. 1 Just then the door bell rang, and answering it, I found Mary Driscoll and Elizabeth Duff. They had just returned from a long trip to Cali- fornia and decided to look me up. Our attention was then centered on the radio when we heard the familiar strains of the old, old number: Par- don My Southern Accent fand we thought it was very appropriate for such an occasiOn.J Immediately, I knew it was the voice of Charlotte Brenner. Following her selection came a Hill- Billy quartet with Evelyn Lettieri, Stella Farias, Marguerite McGillvray, and Despa Masteralexis, which made us weep for the old gang of ours! Cutting in shortly from California, a special news Hash from Patalano's News Service informed us that Ruth McBride had been appointed head coach of Stanford's Jump-Rope Team, and that Viola Price had been named director of the latest picture, Where Is My Heart? starring Anna Reale, Somerville's gift to Hollywood. Katherine Spoletti and Elizabeth Taylor resumed the broadcast with a short section of the famous play, The Barons of Summer Street. The program was drawing to a close when Kiki Sintetos was called upon to give the figures of the elec- tion of 1950. I knew of no one better to deal in figures and numbers than Kiki. The Band of a Thousand Melodies ended the program, and I knew the fContinued On Page 321
