SANDALPHON The Garden FRANCES HIER Third lil: ctoric A gate within a garden wall, My gaze once chanced to meet, A little closer then I drew, My curious thoughts to treat. The gate swung back with gentle grace. What heavenly scene is this? The beauties of the glorious spot Filled heart and mind with bliss. Beyond the gate there stood a shrine, Which held an image dear Of Mary fair, serene and calm, How glad to be so near! About the shrine the tall green trees Like stately sentinels stoodg The sward, the shrubs, the flowery beds Gave aspect of a wood. My thoughts were all bent heavenward And, lo! the joy I felt Surpassed all joys e'er known on earth, As there I prayerful knelt. Ah! keep thy children, Mother dear, Who tread these walks with me, E'er near to Jesus, near to grace, And Mother, near to thee. Our Clock GERTRUDE DEHNER Graduate Do you wonder at all it's conceiteld and proud Since we gaze at it so, with its ticking quite loud? And while governing our days from its lofty bower, It proclaims with a challenge its wonderful power. Now just as sure as you miss your car, And fail to appear at the appointed hour, That darling clock is sure to be In its favorite mood, just contrary. Or if Latin you seek or Maths to devour In a period of leisure, that little half hour, The clock sees it's not one wee minute more, At the second precise its ring sounds like a roar. Then how it delays in its diligent way And it seems, just on purpose refuses to say That lunch time is nigh and we must not be late. But no, we just wait, and we wait, and we wait. The Best Place EFFIE MAY KIKEMPFER Iflourllt I oz termcdmtc I have seen the fairies dancing, I have been to fairy balls, I have seen the princes charming, I have been with knights in halls, I have been down among the mermaids, And in one place and another, But the place which I think best for me Is just at home with Mother. page one hundred fifty-three

SANDALPHON Why Wait? CECILIA HERBOLTZIIEIMER First Rhetoric FARMER entering the city of Columbus for the first time was greatly confused. Ile drove along the country roads in his Ford sedan feeling very proud of himself. But, oh, when he reached the city! His first stop was at Broad and High. To his amazement he noticed a large crowd of people, looking upward. Ile stopped his car with a jerk. His curiosity was roused, and he jumped from his Ford to the street. Not seeing anything to cause so much excitement, he inquired the reason from a passerby. 'l'hey're waiting on the lights, the man replied. NVel1, if that don't beat all! Imagine anyone waiting' for a lip,-ht. IIa! IIa! Then the chug-chug of his machine could be heard as he dashed across High Street. He seemed to be the center of attraction. Everyone was smiling at him. A policeman on horseback drove up and motioned him to stop. Soon he understood why the crowd had gathered on the corner. What do you mean by violating the traffic laws? When the lights signal to stop, you 're supposed to stop, hailed the officer, Oh, so that is what is meant by saying l'hey're waiting' on the lights' Certainly, certainly, the traffic cop answered. The farmer in a nervous manner told the policeman that this was his first visit to the city. The officer explained to him the idea. of the lights. After giving him a book of tratiic laws he dismissed him. In a very sheepish way the farmer looked about him. 'l'o his embarrass- ment he noticed that many people were laughing: After attending to his busi- ness in the city, he went home, and thinking over the day 's events, said to him- self, Ile who laughs last laughs best. That certainly is a good proverb. page one hundred Mty-two
