Sixty-four T H E A U R O R A WONDER-ISLE OF NOWI-IERE Somewhere on this earth there must be A spot untouched by the foot of man, Where the grasses are green and untrodden, And the waves lap on endless sands. If there be such a place in creation, Then I'1l pack up and take to the road, I For mine is the curse of the wander lust, And I must rise, and follow the code. This code of the wide open borders, Is the thing of unwritten laws, It embraces the south and Westland, And the land where snow never thaws. Nor does the East escape it, E'en though it meet not the West, To all fourends of the earth-world, It'll haunt you without rest. lf you should feel its curse in your blood veins, And your feet are swept by its sway, Try not to evade and shun it- lt's a master and will have it's way. Go! tasteiof it's sweetness, and revel, Go! follow the trail for awhile, Till your fascination for it has faded And it no longer does you beguile. Perhaps, then if it's your destination You'll drink of it's bitter dregs, And crawl home wan and weary, Rather weak in your head and legs. Yet, though you have tasted it's pleasure And have drank of it's nectared wine Be content with thesimple home-hearth And there be content to dine. . JEAN LAMAY, '24. THE 'SHORTHAND oLAss Shorthand is our hobby. Have you seen us six, at one, With books and pencils sharp To cite our rules till they are done? We always sit and wait For the reading and dictation, Of all the funny marks, Round and straight without relation. Then standing at the board, Our knowledge of this feat we show, By writing all the marks, Quick! because we can't be slow. Long and hard we ponder, O'er this hand of flighty wing. To solve its mysteries out, Till the bell again does ring. -Leona Champoux.
