Lincoln Do You Remember the Day? Whea Lincoln was a little boy Do you remember the day so fair? He had neither pencil nor pen It all happened in our freshman year. Pietlitin ceventeotta-schoo! The weather was fair on that perfect day, Sayatt Ee es With seniors’ hearts so kind and gay, i We sat through the long afternoon, Listening to their ha tune. But he by firelight studied hard ‘ mes With slate and charcoal he would write Do you remember the day so fair? And many times his work was hard. It all happened in our sophomore year. But he saved our country by his might. We felt a flush of the cheek, As with trembling lips we dared to speak. It was summer and well we knew, His mother was his teacher As the flowers a plenty grew. And she taught him truth and law In manhood he was kind to every creature : Do you remember the d fair? And dismayed by the slaves he saw. ; Se ig) cote It all happened in our junior year. Many a thing haunted our dreams, Lincoln was made our President As through the windows came summer bezms. And he freed the slaves of the land. Summer was here again, He was just God’s instrument Not a word was spoken then. And he alone could understand. 4 Do you remember the day so fair? It all happened in our senior year. We’ve been waiting for summer again, Although with joy we might feel pain, Very soon he was returned By the hand of one, an actor After saving lives from slavery To think that we must leave this year, To the land of his Creator. And not be able to find something so dear. JosEPHINE HOEFFEL. CATHERINE GORSKI. Thoughts Our thoughts almost always bring, Joy or sorrow in a little thing. If we always have sad thoughts, Strive to change them, whatever it costs. The joyous ones are the best, And will surely bring great happiness. ELLEN ZECCA.

Ea PO eS IE Se etre ae ee a SE - — ——————— EEE: THE GREATNESS OF LITTLE THINGS “These little things are great to little man.” —Goldsmith. In life there are great and little things, but to man the great and little are much.the same. All things are of interest to us according to their humor and capacity. We all know that trifling matters give us great and frequent annoyances. Such things as failure to receive a much expected invitation to a dinner, difference in choice of colors, clothes, etc., have already led to tragic consequences. Very frequently good friends are separated by petty grievances never again to enjoy the pleasures of a friendship. Is it not true that if a married couple did not quarrel over things of little importance they would never have a chance to quarrel, as big occurrences arise so seldom that they are not quarreled over? This all points to the same end. Man’s lifetime, a very unimportant few years compared to the long eternity hereafter, is taken up with earthly pleasures and strife for earthly riches. These precious few years spent in God’s beautiful world would be so much more meritorious if we could but think of great things such as God and Heaven. Is not God more important than the pleasures of a world? We all realize that, but still the strife for the menial is greater than the strife for the eternal. Thus we see the truth of the words, “These little things are great to ittle man.” little JOSEPHINE HOEFFEL. Going Through High School Four years ago on a certain date Eight boys and girls walked through a gate. The gate that led them to the way That in the future would bring them pay. In their freshman year they learned many things Found all the joy and happiness a year could bring. A spirit of true friendship was created by each one Which was always to remain in the years to come. They followed the path in their sophomore year That taught them never to shrink or fear. Their lessons may have been a little harder But nevertheless their aim was a good starter. As each one entered into the junior class They knew that two happy years had passed. Each day they realized more and more That school had never once become a bore. Finally the name of a senior was given to each one. They eagerly worked, always enjoying their fun. Everyone knew the time was not long When they would say farewell in a merry song. We hope as they go out in the wide world They will not only think of a diamond and pearl, But will also think of their happy times When writing for the S. J. H. CHIMES. Dotores McGuire. [24]
