We of the Class of 1947 look back on four years of a rich academic experience at our beloved Thayer Academy. We owe a debt of gratitude to our headmaster and to our faculty for their untiring efforts in preparing us to meet the complexities of life in a world torn by alien philoso- phies, misunderstanding, and strife. We have been taught to recognize the finer things in life and to discover and pursue a line of reasoning that should make us worthwhile members of society. The friendships that We have made at Thayer are a possession that will always remain with us and give us happy memories for years to come. We shall soon separate to follow our individual paths and endeavors in the vvorldg but the spirit of the Class of 1947 will live on in our hearts.

The BLACK and ORANGE . 1947 HOMECOMING For three days now there have been frantic preparations at our house. We have rubbed, scoured, brushed, mopped, and completely turned the house inside out. How the windows and china and silverware sparkle and gleam. My fingers are still sore from polishing the intricate arms of the chandelier. There is no corner that we have neglected. Dust has scurried from our vigorous swipes, and even Puff has been dethroned from her sacred perch near the warm radiator. But our labor has been suspended now, The Day is here. In a very few moments my brother will be home after two years overseas with the Army. I feel both exhausted and expectant as I survey with satisfaction the results of Mom's and my house- cleaning. Chuck always liked a clean house, although his room, at times, looked as if a cyclone had swept it. Let's see, that chair should be here, and my picture on this table. There. lxdy good- ness, look at the time! They should be here soon. I do hope lVIom and Dad found him in the crowded station. I wonder if he's changed. No, I don't imagine so. He must look older, though. Let me see, it was just about two years ago that we sent him off. He was a boy then, only eighteen. A lot can happen in two years. He's a man now. He was so cute to me when he left. He kissed me and said, f'Keep the home fires burning for me, Sis, I won't be able to for awhile. Well, I guess he did all right, even though it had to he via air mail. Betty's written him faithfully. I imagine she will be over this evening. Oh! Can it be that they're here? Yes, there they are coming up the walk. I'm so excited. O, God, please don't have him changed. Don't let all his experiences in Japan leave any bad effects upon him. He's so goody keep him that way. ' Hi, Sis! Well, I'm home! Yes, Chuck, you're home now and I can see that you haven't changed at all. lVIaybe you're a little more mature, a little more worldly, but why shouldn't you be, with all that you have seen. But soon you'll be back at college, doing all the crazy things you did before you Went away. I just thank God that you are one of the lucky ones that can enjoy your homecoming, and not one who was left out there in the bleak fields or hills to stare eternally up into the tropic sky. Jane Ford, '47 LOUISIANA Louisiana-the word brings romance: French gratings outlined against the sky, The gay, noisy, carefree Latin quarters, Enormous plantations, Fields white with cotton, Darkies singing in the evening moonlight, Stately mansions surrounded by gnarled oaks. Spanish moss creating an eerie and wonderful effect. This is Louisiana, slow moving as the Mississippi, Steeped in tradition and beauty. Jan Jertson, '49 1947 . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 79 WINTER SCENE lt had snowed all the night before, and even then, the evening of the second day, when l opened the door to look before retiring, a few stray Hakes were still drifting down. The air was bitter cold and icy clear, and in the heavens the stars, unrivaled by city lights, twinkled and danced like sparkling diamonds ornamenting a black velvet mantle. Except for the occasional quiver of an overburdened limb, the stillness re- mained unbroken. ln the silver light of the wintry moon, the blanketed countryside was transformed into a fairyland of snow and ice. Ropes of glistening snow sagged from one telephone pole to another, and the trees, relieved of their stark leaflessness, stood etched against the jet in snowy pureness, each branch a lacy silhouette. And as l stood and Watched, the stars slowly faded, and twinkled away, and from behind the hill came a rosy glow, foretelling the transition from perfect night to perfect day. Jacqueline Frost, '48 CHILDREN RUSH OUT Children rush out, restless after their stay in-doors, lVIothers sigh, relieved to hang out their dripping washg Business men hurry to and from work, Pettishly peeved while skirting mirror puddles, School girls, giggling, walk to the drug store rendezvous. The trees are fresher, the Howers brighter, The sky is bluer, the sea greener, A thousand diamonds sparkle impartially on the weeds And on the carefully cultivated borders. The world is fresher, brighter, happierg lt is a sparkling place now- The rain has stopped. Margaret Campbell, '49 WOMEN'S FASHION S lt's not the designs of mere women, Nor colors in spine-tingling hue, lt's all the result of the fashions Of Carnegie, and Adrienne too. They create such entrancing creations, With bustles and huge towering hats. And the new draped and wrap-around grecians Which come with directions like maps. The shoes are the next thing to nothing, High platforms, no backs and no toes, And hair styles, high and o'erpowering Psyche knots, twined braids and huge rolls. Without question women accept these And pretend to love fashion's wild trend, lt's the couturiers women dress for- They really don't dress to please men. Joan Buckner, '47 Page 80 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . 1947 I RIDE THE EL I ride the El , I announce, and immediately thousands of distraught people answer, So do I. I ride the El six days a week, twelve months in a year. Sometimes I wonder if I can stand one more trip hanging from the strap, or sandwiched in between two overstuffed human beings. Therefore I must make the point clear that I ride the El for pleasure, not because I have to. With me it is a hobby, one that I've had for several years. Although l'm acquainted with the El systems in New York and Boston, I hope in future years to be familiar with those in other cities. Bly reasons for liking El travelling are many. In the first place, it presents variety. One travels by land: the Fells Parkway, Dorchester Bay, and Beacon Street. One travels by air: Forest Hills, and Charlestown with its Bunker Hill Monument. fAnd in New York, the Brooklyn Bridge with the traffic swarming many feet below.J One also travels, if not by sea, at least under the sea: the East Boston Tunnel. In the second place, one certainly gets his money's worth. Where else for a dime can one see so much scenery and travel so far? In Boston one embarks at Ashmont, courses along Dorchester Bay, goes under the shopping district, comes out over the Charles River, and finally terminates in historic Cambridge. CThe Ubargainl' rates are much lower in New York. For five cents, one can ride from 207th Street in Washington Heights to Flatbush, Brooklyn, a distance of thirty miles or more.j Since I am an old hand at hanging from a strap and enduring the haunted-house- like expressions of the El employees, I have derived a pleasure in studying the people who frequent rapid transit. For instance, the commuting crowd that mobs the subway in the early morning and evening is grim with its mind on work done, or about to be done. However, the school crowds are something that make brave people turn pale. One has to be a football player to plunge into a car filled with Young-America-being educated. The baseball crowds, although packed in knock-kneed trolley cars so that everybody is on top of everybody else, are, as a rule, good-humored. The best, in fact the only, time to ride the El for pleasure is in the middle of the day. The commuting, school, and shopping crowds are gone, and about the only people to be found riding into the city are those who are trying to beat the afternoon price changes in the movie-theatres. The cars aren't crowded at this time, and one can relax, peruse his neighbor's Boston American and criticise the numerous advertising posters. I think, however, that the most important reason for riding the El is that it is the only practical way to learn a city. When I went to New York for the first time, I spent practically an entire day riding the countless transportation systems. I would get off at various stations along each route and observe what part of the city each particular line served and also how that section served the city. For instance, Worth Street in lower Manhattan is the center of New York's great textile firms, Yankee Stadium is located at l6lst Street and Eighth Ave-nueg 42nd Street has its Grand Central Terminal. It is easy to see that at the end of that day I had a pretty good idea of the various subway systems of New York. And that's what counts in a big city: to be able to travel anywhere you want, quickly and cheaply. So vast was my extent of travelling in York , that I know practically all the sections of the city proper, and in the future this knowledge will prove useful, for I shall have a good idea of how to get around.

So we who saw and felt the surging strife, And matched them stroke for stroke and blow for blow, So we must open up our hearts and cease To wrangle over petty things in life. For now we must consider deeds that show The way to reach the goal of living peace. - David Cressler, '47 WINTER The wind is dead today. lNIy window-view Is grey with gloom of coming storms which sweep From the long and dreary coast beyond. A few Cold snowflakes fall to death. You cannot keep The beauty of your patterns on the ground, For this is frozen time. It brings no love, No beautyg nought's revealed but walls which bound The naked, ugly earth. And from above The last sweet messengers of light have fled To better climes-they cannot sing between The strongholds of the night. They, also, dread The somber shadows of New England's scene. Yet, as l watch, the silent blanket falls, And brings me peace, and beauty which enthralls. James Wheatley, '47 1947 The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 83 WHAT DID THE CLOUDS LOOK LIKE TODAYZQ If someone came up to you during the day and abruptly asked what kind of clouds were floating about in the sky above, you would think he either was slightly crazy or was pulling your legn. Were there any clouds in the sky this morning when the sun came up? Was there any sunrise? These questions would appear, on the surface, to be either idiotic jokes or simply the inquiries of a moron. To the average person they would, if taken seriously, also become quite perplexing since they are not easily answered. They are difficult only because the average person doesn't notice half the things about him. He will stoutly deny ever missing anything of importance, but unless he is an exceptionally receptive individual, he does not use his five senses to any marked degree. The fanciful questions mentioned above are only a means of testing and proving to the individual his lack of awareness. Instead of referring to poetical things such as clouds and sunrise, I could have used houses, architectural details, or any prosaic things which are under a constant, but superficial, scrutiny. lf I received an answer to my query, it would be very vague and lacking in many important details, for most people just do not see what they look Ht. People can improve their insufficient powers of perception by consciously cultivating and practicing sound methods of observation. If, every time you enter a building, you consciously take mental note of all possible exits, you will soon develop an unconscious habit of observing exits, which will he of great practical value in case of fire. If you carefully list the striking details of the landscape in your mind while travelling, you will be able to give concise directions to anyone wishing to follow the same route. Observation may be improved by environmental need or the individual's own will power. His mind can trick the brain into noticing and retaining the impressions that that miraculous camera, the eye, captures at the fantastic rate of fifty images a second. Why is keen observation important? There are two very good reasons. First, it has the very practical job of protecting that delicate candle-flame of life. llany times it means the difference between safety and danger, or even between life and death. The power of keen observation is as indispensable to a soldier as it is to the driver of an automobile, if he wishes to stay alive. Secondly, it has the power to enrich a person's life. It is an integral part of the art of living. A man's enjoyment of life is proportional to his awareness. Being aware means being awake! hlore people would, honestly, enjoy life if they could just wake up and look around. Donald Kennedy, '47 SHE PEEPS UP She peeps up over the shrouded city and the star-lit country town, Casting her cool glance upon the many scenes beneath the sky. The dogs, the lovers, the dreamer at his window, know she has appeared. The darker places glow whenever she comes nearg Everything in her path changes, becomes unearthly: The melodious chirps, the sonorous chimes, lllingle and intermingle in one nocturnal tune. The sharp corners blur, The dreary hovels are touched with silver, As the moon makes her way across the evening sky. Margzzref Campbell, '49 Page 84 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1947 ODE TO AN OLD LOVE, ON THE EVE OF PARTING Among my souvenirs I hold, in fond embrace, The memory of some farewell word- And of a friendly face. And as the years unfold themselves With sunshine-and with fears- I see the loves, the smiles, the hopes, The laughter and the tears. I see, as time wends on her way, lVIy life pass in review, With all the old acquaintances And all the loves I knew. And, the day is dying But before the sun has set, Oh, may I once remember all-- And may I, then, forget! Dianne Forrest, '47 CATS ARE PEOPLE Some people seem to think that cats are only animalsg with these people I never argue, but I know that cats are people. There was Rastus with his clean white shirt front, hair parted in the middle, and unsoiled boots, who used to ask for his meals on time and who used to beg to go outdoors and Hsluml' with his buddies. You could talk to him and almost receive an answer-very rarely any back talk. That he knew no fears was evidenced by his rising to my defense at one time when a snappy little dog had decided that my calf would make a tasty lunch. As I stood there trembling, having too much pride to run from my foe, Rastus came between us in all his majesty. He gave the dog a scornful look, and as the dog slunk away, Rastus yawned disdain- fully and went on about his own business. Then there was Colonel Potterby, a tiny tabby cat, full of feminine wiles and allures. She was dainty and immaculate, and spent her time in primping. She always walked with her nose high, her feet daintily poised, and was never so happy as when being waited on by her horde of admirers. And it was always upon the forbidden chair that Colonel Potterby was found asleep, and it was always in the forbidden dish that Colonel Potterby found her tidbits. With a purr in her throat and a flirt of her tail, she used her soft femininity to Haunt all the rules of the household. Winkie seemed to have the most admirers, for he was gentlemanly. If there were ever so-called hen parties in the house, Winkie would always welcome the guests with a loud meow. He very rarely participated in the games of bridge or in the gossip- ing. For the latter he felt an utter distaste, so, politely, he would walk to a quiet corner and sit there hoping to have some attention. But in the course of time he lost all hope. When the company was ready to leave, his goodbyes were as courteous as his hellos . He was a true gentleman, courtly and considerate at all times. Now, you see what I mean when I say cats are people. Ann Seybolt, '47 1947 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 85 MATURITY We searched our world and all around it For a way to life, and found it! We trod the path with hope unbounded, Then saw before us seas unsounded- An ocean deep surged not with strife But love and truth-our Joy, our Life! Shirley Blackwell, '47 ON GETTING UP IN THE MORNING Getting up in the morning is one of the most painful and disliked processes of our life. lt happens to the best of us, rich and poor alike. Only a favored few derive any pleasure from it, and fewer still are immune to its effects. lt is extremely difficult to find Words to express the terrible sensation of leaving a warm bed on a cold winter's morn. The infernal ringing of the alarm clock is the first herald of the impending ordeal. As your mind is battered into consciousness by the ceaseless pummeling of that mechanical monster, your first thoughts are that the clock is wrong and has gone off too early. Then, as the painful reality that the clock is right forces itself upon you, the necessity of shutting it off before your senses suffer irreparable damage arises. For most people this simply means extending one arm over to a near-by table and pushing in a button. This elementary operation has more effect on stopping the alarm than the strongest threats or the vilest curses. There are some hardy souls who place the clock in a remote corner of the room, thus forcing the issue. They must either make the supreme sacrifice of getting up and shutting it off or remaining in bed while the alarm beats an Anvil Chorus into their drowsy brain. We must not forget that character of low mentality who leaps out of bed, dashes over to the clock, shuts it off, and dives back into bed, all in the elapsed time of five seconds. He's fooling no one but himself and might just as well do what has always been his innermost desire-heave that bell-happy piece of tin against the nearest Wall. But let us return to the average man who has just been awakened. ln a slightly! stupefied condition, his mind realizes that he must get up, yet his sense of comfort and well-being at the present is strong enough to hold him to his bed. This mental illusion lasts from five to fifteen minutes, depending upon the individual, after which a sense of hopelessness overcomes him. He begins to realize the inevitable fact that he must get up and that the sooner he does the better off he will be. His desire to remain in bed fights a losing battle with his conscience, and before he 'knows it, he is out of bed. His still lethargic mind cannot quite understand why he has made such an ado over so simple a process as getting out of bed. Those uninspired individuals who give up the ghost completely and go back to sleep are purposely omitted from this discourse. In closing, due credit must be given to the scientific Hwake-uppers . They are by nature methodical in everything they dog a habit which is evident in their method of getting up with the least amount of trouble. By careful timing, they determine the length of time it takes them to become fully awake. Then they set their alarm clock far enough ahead to give themselves suflicient time to wake up completely. The greatest minds of this scientihc era have not been able to devise a satisfactory means of making the process of getting up a happy one. lt seems evident that we are destined to go on suffering. Phil flammond, '47 Page 86 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . 1947 THE VICTORY From my seat in the bleachers, l had a perfect command of the colorful scene before me. On the gridiron, two powerful and determined teams crouched face to face tensely waiting for the ball to be snapped. The maroon and white uniforms of the enemy stood out against our black and orange ones. The Held itself, once green and freshly marked with bold white chalk lines, now had several brown patches where the cleats of many shoes had definitely dug deeply into the earth. The yard lines were merely shadows of lime-covered grass. Everyone was tense, nervous, excited, shouting oiut the cheers as if from habit, while all attention was riveted on the players. The game would be lost or won in this playl Even the trees seemed to rustle with excite- ment. Suddenly, the referee blew the whistle. A low, firm voice called the signals. Then, as if by magic, the statue-like figures sprang into action. The crowd went wild! Shouts of encouragement and warning, yells of praise and delight-all voiced in frenzied excitement, filled the air. Through all this din, the faint sound of a horn made its way to the crowd. That horn, that wonderful horn, the horn that gave us the game! ln a second, people were pouring from the bleachers and the sidelines into the Held. The victory was ours! Even the warm autumn sun seemed to pat us on the back. Anne Nichols, '-l-8 MONEY FOR MURDER There were three of us in the compartment as the train sped across the drab English countryside. l was reading the Morning Guardian and had but an occasional glance at my fellow passengers. One of the men was sitting close to the window, seemingly occupied with the passing scenery, though l doubt if he could see much through the fog. His coat was turned up at the collar, and his scarf pulled tight to give protection from the damp weather. And pulled down across his forehead was a light grey felt hat, that cast a shadow over his eyes. Clutched in his hands was a long grey envelope. Beside this fellow passenger was another man, less familiar to England. His cane rested against the seat, and a copy of the Paris Herald lay folded in his lap. His light tweed coat looked as if it had recently stepped out of Selbyls window in London. He sat easily, except for the moments when he drew a small, carefully wrapped package from his watchpocket. The train thundered ong Blackmoor tunnel was just aheadg slowly the light filtered out of the compartment as the train plunged into the half mile tunnel through the Blackmoor mountains. Not a sound was heard above the roar of the train, the clicking Wheels, and the echo of the tunnel. Moments that seemed like years passed slowly. And then the train rushed out of the tunnel, and the light returned to the compartment. But not to my fellow passengers. The scarf on one had been pulled a bit too tight . . . and the other man in his light tweed coat was slumped on the floor, in a pool of blood. Slowly l closed the clasp on my knife, folded my Morning Guardian, and then placed the long envelope and the little package in an inside pocket. With a parting glance l slipped through the compartment door. At last my mission was completed. The studio lights dimmed, and the prop men went to work at dismantling the coach, as my two former passengers took off their heavy coats, even a tweed in California can be hot, especially in the steam for an English fog. But another scene had been filmed for Mammoth Studio's fall production of London Journey. Peter B. I-Iifkfy, '48 1947 The BLACK and ORANGE .

The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1947 THE BATTLE OF THE AGES Almost everyone, at one time or another, has enjoyed the somewhat dubious pleasure of chewing gum. According to the Canter polls,'! fwith apologies to hir. Gallupj, this pastime is one of the nation's leading vices, and is fast becoming a rival to baseball in popularity. lf gum were to be catalogued, it would roughly fall into these different categories. First of all would come medicinal gum, offering relief from stubbed toes, coughs, and backaches. Next under the same heading, would appear dental gum, which if one believed in advertisements, will make your teeth sparkle, and dazzle the boy next door into asking for a date! For show-offs, there is bubble gum, that delightful sub- stance that requires hours of diligent grinding to make even the slightest dents upon it. Other varieties include beech gum, pepper gum, pine gum, and last but not least, just plain chewing gum. As the world is divided into the Uchewersu and the non-cheWers, let us touch lightly on those who do , The most publicized is the school-boy. Thinking he is safely concealed by a text-book, he quietly slides a stick of gum into his mouth. With eyes averted, he proceeds slowly to revolve his jaws, all the while trying to give the impression that he is pondering a weighty subject. Usually, this is all in vain, for the hawk-like eye of the teacher spots the mobile facial features, and the culprit gum is banished in disgrace to the waste-basket. Others who make life miserable for this rubbery mixture are the snappers, the pullers, the aforementioned blowers, and the chawers . fThese last include truck-drivers, prize fighters, etc.j The first thing to do in preparation for this pleasure, is to try to extract the gum from an obstinately clinging wrapper. This done, we smooth down our hair once more and insert the gum into the mouth. As our teeth come in contact with it, it obligingly shatters, proving it wasn't as fresh as the druggist said. Cjust wait till we get him!! If you are one of those unfortunates who wear bands on your teeth, you may be sure that the gum will crawl coyly under the bands, causing entertainment for the next half-hour in the way of trying to get it out. To extricate yourself from this appendage, you have to sneak up when it isn't looking and claw frantically. As the gum is always looking, this never works, and the only thing you can do is let it stay there, and suffer like a good Christian martyr in silence. 'lBut how do you feel about gum ? you say. Me? Why I'm always the first one to grab the last package!! Jacqueline P. Frost, '48 VOLUNTARIES VI Our headmaster We honor, Our teachers we adoreg But the best one for my money ls the guy who sweeps the floor. He comes to school before usg He's here when we are gone. The leavings of us brain trusts He sweeps out with his brawn. Our faculty is learnedg Their knowledge is our pride, But cleaning takes more energy, I know, because I've tried.

QSignedD The Author It was on a bright, cloudy day in very late spring, Caround September, as I remem- berj-that I first met the professor. He was tall and thin in a dwarfish sort of Way, and as we sat hunched over a bucket of suds in Joe's Soda and Burned-to-a-Crisp Hamburger Shoppe , he disclosed to me the details of his daring adventure into the unknown. The man must be stark, raving, mad! I told myself as he unfolded his strange scientific marvels to my wondering ears, illustrating his remarks on the none too clean tablecloth. I have discovered a new method of utilizing the tremendous energy in- , he whispered. Quiet , I cut him off breathlessly. Even the walls have earsll' as indeed they had, for 'fjoeu had terrible taste in wallpaper. It was almost a month, about two weeks, before we started-Where ?-Oh, didn't I tell you-This another of those pseudo-scientific stories about Mars.-Well, don't put it down now! This might be good !-Who knows, I don't!+ 'Dear Reader, We regret to report that the author of this masterpiece is taking an enforced rest at a delightful vacationland resort at Danvers, lllass., where it is said that he is con- tinually raving about some theme for a Deane at some academy. The Publislzers Williarn Woo1se5', '48 COMPARE ME WITH THE GIRLS -OR- TI-IANKS, BUT I'VE ALREADY DONE IT I think that I shall never see Anyone so wonderful as me. No one can equal me in grace, Not even Martha with her pretty face. No one is a match for my energy and zeal, Not even the great zealot, Nancy Beal. And in anything peppy, I really rally Being even peppier than peppy Sally! Practically any time, I'm hale and hearty, Haler, and heartier than even Marty. At making up verses, I'm a whiz- I'm even better than Margaret is! I'm always happy, yes, happy and merry, I'm happy and merry, just like Gerry. As for those big, dark eyes, - why, what could be sillier? Of course mine are nicer than those of Jeanne I-Iillier! At length we come to the very last,- Don't you think I lie pretty fast? Edith Millward, '49 Page 90 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . 1947 I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WIT' DEBT I have a rendezvous wit' Debt, For Plymouth Builds Great Cars , and yet In Spring, when troubles pile on me, Which stem from vintage '33, I have a rendezvous wit' Debt. I dream at night, with well-worn fear, Of blown-out tire, of ruined piston, Of leaky valve, of clean-stripped gear, Of boiling, porous, cooling syston. I sweat, I curse my fate, I fret: I have a rendezvous wit' Debt. .lim Wheatley, '47 I HATE RUBBERS! If there is anything I dislike more than rubbers-then it's having to wear the darn things out. Nothing can deflate a man's ego more than floppy rubbers. I will gladly take vitamin pills, drink milk, slosh in wet feet, even take chances on cold to escape those clod-hopper enclosures. It gives a man a feeling of superiority when he can walk around bare footed , so to speak, ignoring the elements. Rubbers' weather is the only time I know of when a man is proud to dirty his beautiful shine. The guy that invented those morbid coverings is probably not even known today, for no one but an unknown milquetoast could ever think of such an idea. Back in their minds, timid people must have a special fear of rain, for rubbers, umbrellas, and meek people seem to go together. Can you conceive of anyone ever performing a stupendous feat or robbing a bank in rubbers? Or perhaps a hero making a daring rescue after first removing his rubbers? Why, if I thought Boris Karloff wore rubbers, I'd never see another of his pictures. Nothing in my estimation could be a worse fate than for a boy to grow to manhood having his mother always telling him to wear his rubbers-unless it would be marrying and finding out after the ceremony that your wife is also a conhrmed Hrubbers addict. l tell you from experience that you must revolt at an early age, otherwise your destiny is sealed for life. Of course some grow to like them. and some just don't care. But I know what I like and I know what l hate-and I hate rubbersllll Phillip Perkins, '47 IS IT REALLY A MUST? A ring, a dash, and a gay Hello,l' As Susan runs to answer. Oh fine, Louise, and how are you? Why? Are you? Oh really? -Never! Wasn't it fun? Are you going next week? Oh, yes, and isn't he neat ? The clock swiftly ticks on, But Sue and Louise talk on and on. The homework waits, Wliile each debates, And Mother looks on in disgust. Then Father joins in And sternly says, K'You've got to hang up - you must. Janet W'hite, '47 1947 . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 91 ODE TO A WORKER A baseball team, they say, is made of just nine wondrous men, But what about the other guy, the modern Gunga Din? He does more work, this one lone guy, than all the rest combined, The stuff the others break or lose he must replace or find, And when the sun is beating down and water must be brought, They send him up to fetch it. Who cares if he is hot? He doesn't get a uniform that bears his team's grand name, But he's out there working ,fore the rest at each and every game. So here's to the toiling sweating slave of all who play for Thayer, That guy who makes the ball team click, THE TIRELESS IXIANAGER! Paul Pratt, '47 PLAY ON NAMES IN THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Oh! Here I am dressed in my old clothes and company is coming up the walk! I have my blue Jeannes, an old sweater, a Dicky and I just had the Barbour do my hair in a Bob. I-Iello. Howe are you? Come in and make yourself at Holm. You had better sit in that chair over there because everytime someone sits on the Brown Dawnport it falls in a Heap. Was the going very bad, and did you have to Wade through much snow? This weather doesn't give the Gardener much work. Do you want some supper? I have plenty ready. I-Iere's some Canzpbelfs soup. Be sure the toast doesn't get in your zwoellers or your Bridges. It's too bad you have to go so soon. I hope you had a Lot of fun during our little visit. Here, I'll help you Don your coat. Goodbye, and come again! Connir Gould, '49 MIDYEARS The day of mid-years is drawing near, Alas and alack, the sad day is here. Gerry, Connie, Jane, and Pat Heap, Are all perched nervously on the edge of the seat. Pencils are poised and ready to start, And all commence with a heavy heart. Faster, Margaret, let's not be slow, No time to hesitate, hurry, let's go. From Priscilla is heard a sigh of despair, What's this I see? Why , it just isn't fair. Eyes are flashing to and fro, , What's this answer? How should I know! Hurry, hurry, time is fleeting, Onward now, let's have no cheating! lNIiss Gemmel's collecting the papers at last. Oh, Gee! I certainly hope I have passed! H. Barenberg, '49 Page 92 The BLACK and ORANGE . 1947 TOO MANY EXAMS!! I trip to class so gaily, No cares in the world have I. Llid-Years are all behind meg And now the days will fly. A test on Chapter Forty, llr. Lyons says at nine. So now the day is ruined, And I was feeling fine. A quizll' proclaims Bliss Osgood.
