Defeat Can Be Conquered By Phyllis Yackey '37 Genius, that power that dazzles mortals' eyes, Is oft but perseverence in disguise, Continuous eifort of itself implies In spite of countless falls the power to rise. Twixt failure, and success, the points so fine Men sometimes know not when they touch the line Just when the pearl is waiting one more plunge How many a struggler has thrown up the sponge! A little more persistence, courage, vim! Success will dawn o'er fortune's golden rimg Then take this honey for the bitterest cup There is no failure, save in giving up. No real fall as long as one still tries, For seeming setbacks make the strong men wiseg There's no defeat in truth save from within Unless you're beaten there, you're bound to win.

To An Oak Tree By Gladys M. Heid '37 Once thou wert a tiny acorn Buried deep 'neath woodland mould, Raindrops came and gave thee watery There thou grew in strength untold. Years have passed, yet still thou standeth, Veteran of my childhood daysg Thou art king of all the woodland, Deserving of the highest praise. Mighty monarch of the woodland Thou art faultless and supreme, Thou in thy majestic splendor Art the answer to an artist's dream. The I oy of Livinq By Mig Ramsey '37 When Spring comes peepin 'round the hill And bees start buzzing near the hive When everything is calm and still Now, arenlt you glad to be alive? When Summer brings her joys to earth The trees and flow'rs become alive We realize Dame Nature's worth Aren't you, too, glad to be alive? When Autumn with her Indian hues Of red and gold and brown contrive To paint a scene which us subdues And makes us glad to be alive. When Winter comes with freezing winds Which shake snowflakes from out the skies Although the cold does nip your chin Who isn't glad to be alive?
