ff I THE EAGLE AND SO A DAY GOESH Of all the schools in every state P. A. is quite the best, ln Latin, Algebra and French She stands the stitlest test, And all the other subjects, too, That make the brow turn hot Our teachers stuff 'em down our necks, just what you want they've got. Now first to Latin class we go, NVhere verbs and adverbs play Elusively beyond our reach, But nearer every day. It is uquisf' cuius, and quem. Amo, amas and cur, While our poor, curlyfheadcd prof. Our dumbness must endure. And next we park in 705 To read aloud our theme, ln which we use Hand forty times, . 'Twould make a tadpole scream. We find how Lincoln learned to write NVhile tramping wood and moor, The things we get off are a fright And make our uLyon roar. Now this leads on to chemistry Where Wood and coke are burned, And oxygen makes things combust We, eager scholars, learned While teacher smiles and one boy w Away the minutes slow. By throwing things about the room Till teacher says uno, no. At last comes chow and faint are we For coffee, fruit and pie. What We consume in the lunch room Would cause a goat to die: For noble as the student is Before he starts to eat He loses all his self-control If Maw forgot the meat. Now Algebra as We all know Must be concise and brief: Each problem covers half a page And causes much more grief: But Willard helps to pass the time By punching Gilbert's dome. The looks our teacher gives to them Oft' caused umen to leave home. ln History class each student shines With such a brilliant light, The sun has since refused to rise Cnr knowledge is too bright But Katey's smile is quite worthwhile For all the boys to see. While teacher prates of ancient dates And how things came to be. hiles Biology is quite the stuff For keen ambitious youth. For teaCher's lovely dimple shows As she expounds the truth: And gives to every little bug lts just and honest share While silly questions asked each day Would make a preacher swear. So if you Wish to choose a school ln which to park your frame, Pick one established long ago. Of just and wellfearned fame. We learn not only from our books But how to take and give, For after all one half of life ls learning how to live. -F. JACKIE JACKSON. THE DREAMER The blue, whitefdusted sky Serenely glows upon one. Who, in midst of reverie, Lies upon the jewel-flecked, Shifting, golden sands: And listens to the beat Of wave on wave, In thundrous roar. upon the Ever-changing edge of glistening shore! Then, with each advance And slow retreat of pounding wave, A myriad crystal globes are Tossed into the sunfshafts of Heaven sent light, only To fall again and join The swirling fingers of white foam That crest each lucid pinnacle: And, receding, rise again to drop Upon the sands-their home! Thus, in beatific silence. The dreamer lies upon the shore. To watch in awed wonder, This handiwork of Him, who, in The fullness of His bounty, Created such ethereal beauty For the eyes and minds of Man! -E. DRAKE. MODERN LITERATURE In the House of seven Gables Lived a Souse of seven Sablesu Mad as Cain with seven Abels Who rang The Phone of seven Cables For the l'Boy with seven Mabels To bring his Flask of seven Labels From the l'Room of seven Tables While the Lousc of seven Stables Bit the LKMOLISC of seven Fablesf' -F, I.
