T I-I E T A H O M A WORDSWORTH REVISED The .school is too much for usp late and soon Working and studyingnwe spend our hoursg Little we see in wisdom that is ours: We have given it all our time except at noon At night we loolg imploring at the moon, We'rc working constantly with all our powers. For Botany we are dissecting flowers, But ever for moon and flowers we're out of tune. They move us not. .Great guns! 1'd rather be A hobo dressed in molly rags outworn- So might 1, musing in tranquility, Catch glimpses that would malfe me less forlorn-- Have sight of salmon jumping from the sea: Hear Mr. Brown blowing his foggy horn.

32 THE TAHOMA The Paths 0 Gloryv Chester 'Uernon Healy, 'I3 The nation was plunged in deep despondency, and wild terror spread like fire from city to city. Washington, D. C., was nothing short of a panic and the deep, melodious cries of Momin' Poiper! All about the invasion of the Chinese! The great Yellow Peril! boomed from the trained tongues of Harry Swanson, Everett Babcock, Geo. Arnold and Chet Benjamin, the pop- ular newsies of the Capitol City. In the White House, dramatic scenes were enacted. The House, under Speaker Hack Goodman, demolished the furni- ture and chandeliers in their excitement and Congress was stirred by the thrill- ing speeches of Ruth Williams, Grace Freeburn and Lois Fisher, the In- vincible Trio of Suffragettesf' Bulletins carried by Kenneth Gardiner and john Munson, White House messengers, to Editor Lindberg of the Tribune, reported that President McDonald's cabinet, composed of Anne Davies, Gladys Cornell, Mildred Mc Govern, Thurston Mentzer, Elihu Smith, Frank Hicks, Mabel Kennedy, Anna Robison, Freda Bristol and Douglas Murphy, had declared war against China after a three-nights' session, which was brought to an abrupt termination by the memorable address of the President. We must never perish, a prey to these yellow, long-haired dogs of Satan, he shrieked. Let us, of the Class of l9l 3. sacrifice our lives and our wealth, but let us, the defenders of the. Stars and Stripes, stamp out the Yellow Peril, so that the events of our administration will go walking down the pages: of his- tory, breathing footsteps in the sandwiches of time! ' The next morning, the President's decree was a universally known fact. The entire forces were on their way to the coast, and were soon pouring into the Puget Sound country by the thousands. The Atlantic Squadron, under Admiral Lester Bishop, was summoned to Commencement Bay by orders of the Cabinet. Wireless reports from Fred Andrews and Mel Perkins, gov- ernment scouts in the Orient, stated that the dreaded fighting machine of the terrible and mysterious Eastern republic was due to strike the coast in a few days, and with their cunning methods of warfare, expected to annihilate the American forces. 'Twas a warm moonlight night in June. Beneath the starlit summer heavens, the lights of the majestic fleet of Admiral Bishop twinkled peacefully o'er the calm, untroubled waters of Commencement Bay. Over the deep blue Hoatecl a pathetic little ditty, innocently rendered by Ken Leahy, Geo. Spinning. Ray Bagley and Henry Murray of the Ocean Wave Quartet, on the flag- ship 'Stadium.
