SANDALPHON Sp1ing's Invitation BIARY J. BICCAFFREY Fourth I ntcrmcdiate Awake, and be glad, little lassie, Be happy, and come out to play, Springtime is here, little lassie, The blossoms have wakened today. Look all around, little lassie,' See trees in new robes, pink and white. See through their leaves, little lassie, There gleameth a soft, mellow light. Come out to the woods, little lassie, Come out with the wild flowers, come. Join violets and daisies, my lassie, Come out where the honey-bees hum. Do you know, my dear little lassie, ' Who made all these splendors we love? 'Tis He, God of earth, little lassie, Our Father in Heaven above. A Tale of a Talking Dog CATHERINE IIENNESSEY Third Rhetoric Oh, what can I say of the telephone? You know all there is to tell, From the time that it was invented By Alexander Graham Bell. But I shall relate a story true That will make sweet lips expand- The tale of a wonderful talking dog, As told by this man so grand. When but a mischief-loving lad, His brother Mel and he Mixed earnest work with pastime Of calm and high degree. Their sire and grandsire, both renowned For teaching the deaf to speak, Showed them how to make a mechanical doll That ma-ma, ma-ma would squeak. If wood can cry so that mothers run To see what ails theil baby, 1 bet a dog could talk quite well, And by that I don't mean maybe. Said Melville Bell to Brother Al, Let's get our little Skye, And we'll manipulate his mouth Till he'd rather talk than die. They tried about five hundred times, Till their brains were in a fog. How-are-oo-gran-ma-ma? was heard From the lips of that patient dog. page ninety-nine

S A N D A L P H 0 N Give Me Liberty 1 Locnlms B enum: Graduate S THERE any American school boy unfamiliar with these words? Prob- ably nine out of every ten lads could give the entire quotation, its author, the time and place of its utterance. In fact, it hardly seems pi ssible that a true American could hear those fiery words of Patrick llenry without experi- encing a thrill of pride and honest exultation. lt was his eloquence that excited his native state to innnediate action in that great movement for na.tio11al liberty, the Declaration of Independence. The birth of America, 150 years ago, was a happening so momentous that even now we cannot fully grasp its true significance. For the.tirst time was founded a nation dedicated to liberty and to thc equality of mankind. We, who have always enjoyed the blessings of a republican form of govermnent, cannot possibly realize the enormity of that struggle by which our forefathers secured it for us. NVe love our liberty and yet we seldom think of the hardships endured by those who helped to make us a nation, democratic, independent, and pow- erful. - The idea of liberty is very ancient. In the very early ages of history, 1na11 was p1'actically a slave to the head of his family, or to the chief of his clan. Ile was an underling from birth to death, a subject with few rights a11d little free- dom. Gradually, with the development rf power and the resulting necessity for law and order, man began to realize that his real position in the social order was that of an individual, not merely one ef a mass. Slowly he gained an idea of his importance as an independent being: no longer would he uncomplainingly submit to injustice and tyranny. Those in authority, hewever, ignored this growing spirit of individual worth, and continued to impi se en him various taxes, and thus diminished his earnings. NVith the spread of Christianity there began to arise in the minds of men a sense of their innate nobility and dignity. Each generatirn saw a marked increase in ideas of political liberty. The Magna Charta of 1215, confirmed again and again in the course of England's history, became at eaeh confirmation a stepping-stone to greater political lib- erty. The growth of the English colonies in America, and the obstinacy of a narrow-minded king, gave the colonists the first ehanee for a gre 't experiment in individual liberty. lt appears plain, indeed, that the revolution of '76 was not so mueh a contention against taxation by a parliament in which they were not represented, as an unexpressed, though not distinctly felt, revolt against the system of privileges and subjection of man. The spirit ef the Declaration of Independence became an incontrovertible fact in the minds of our forefathers long before that important document was formulated. To some nations, the Declaration itself came almost as a revelation of political gospel. ln so far as our country has advantages over other lands, so far is it in- debted to the unseltish spirit of our first great leader, Washington, and to the noble-minded citizens who followed him. All our hope of maintaining an honorable position among nations depends upon a succession ef equally disin- terested eitizens who may be ever ready to sacrifice themselves for the welfare of their country--''ready, at all times, to spend and be spent in the cause of America. page ninety-eight .
