'31 To Whom it Ought to Concern People are always talking about Safety First. But how many people really practice what they preach? Not very many. The town of Baldwinsvllle ought to wake up to the fact that the lives of many school children are en- dangered while crossing the streets at the Narrangansett House corner and at the cor- ner of Maple and South Main streets. For many years there have been no mis- fortunes-no lives lost. But there is always the first-and who knows when it may hap- pen, and whose child it may be? Why not insure the lives of your children and your fu- ture happlness by having someone at those places to help the children cross the streets safely? Why wait until someone is killed be- fore protecting the children at the time of going to and from school at these crossings? Think it over. HOMEWORK The armchair sagged in the middle, The shades were pulled just so: The family had retired And the reading lamp burned low. There came a yawn from the armchair, The clock was half past two. When the Freshman slammed down his textbook, With a thankful, Well, I'm through. G. R. '34 IF WE KNEW If we knew what friends who greet us With a cordial look and tone, And who give us warmest welcome Say about us when we're goneg If we only knew their feelings When perhaps they see us come, Or their joy at our departure Don't you think we'd stay at home? If you only knew the lover Who ln you has met his fate, Tells another that same story Down beside the pasture gateg If you met him walking slowly Through the fields where daisies grow, And you knew where he was going, Don't you think you'd let him go? If you knew the faithful sweetheart Who has sworn she will be true, Swears the same -thing to another, Don't you think that you'd swear too? If you chanced to see her strolling, Bright and gay, and all heart whole With the other in the twilight, Don't you think you'd let her stroll? ' R. Z. '31
