FIGHTING MY WAY TO THE NORTH POLE by Harold Adclneyor, Sophomore On Sunday, March 2, 1938, ny crow and myself set out from the New York Harbor for Greenland. The U.S.S. Theresa, our ship, was loaded to the brio with food, non, coal, gas, oil, airplanes, and hundreds of other things nooessary for our long stay in the polar region. In ny cabin Russell Bandlow, one of the greatest engineers of all tines, is naking plans for our day's work. With hin is Rouben Bintzler, second Lieutenant and Co-pilot of the United States Navy, and Oliver Windy Krueger, Lieutenant and test pilot of the U.S. Navy and myself. After almost two months of rough sea going we reached the ice-coverod island of Greenland and found it almost impossible to get our ship oloso onough to shore to unload our planes and other supplies. After a bit of thinking, I decided to make a raft out of our lifeboats in ordor to get our supplies on shore. -After we had all our supplies unloadod we had to set up our Eiberboard houses that v e had already built in America. Now that we were settled we had to build a long runaway for our pianos so that we could take off. This was very hard and tiresome work which took two weoks. Then, on May 12, 1938, Windy Krueger, Reuben Bintzler, Russell Bandlow, and myself started out for our flight over the North Pole Krueger and Bintzler did all the flying, I did all of the navigating, and Bandlow payed most of his attention to the sound of the motors which ho had constructed. After almost six hours of flying I motioned Krueger to fly in a wide circle around the place where my instruments told me that the North Pole was. Therefore, on May 12, 1938 at 2:00.P. M. we flew over the North Polo and made a complete circumnavigation of tho globe in loss than five minutes. SLEIGH RIDE „ J 9 V 9 by Elmer Stegcr, Freshman ft In winter I go2sleigh riding, Over the hills I go a gliding, Far across the country hills The sled going where it wills. Swiftly going around the bond, Coning closer to the ond, Then up the hill again we'll go Gliding swiftly down o'er tho snow.

A WOODS IN FAIL by Russell Bandlow, Sophonoro Soro brisk, cool auturm day take a long hike to sone woods and you111 be in for a treat. As you approach the woods fron a distance you will notice sone trees are still green while others are bare savo for a few strangling, brightly colored leaves which cling to the swaging boughs. The rapidly drying loaves both on the ground and on the trees when viewed fron a distance combino to blone into a nass of brilliant colors. Now you enter the woods itself and, as you walk along kicking up the dead loaves, you hoar birds of all kinds Singing fron the red and yellow tree-tops. You hoar sonothing novo in tho fallen loaves besieo you. you turn with «. start. and as you do so a frightened rabbit quickly retreats in a swirl of dead loaves. A chipnunk surveys you fron behind a stunp. You laugh and he too disappears. A gust of cool air blows flecks of brown, yellow, and red into your face. Now you can sec why fall is ny favorite season. CA15P-FIRE by Hodwig Rahjcs, Sophomore Ono who has not built and watched a canp-firo docs not know what ho is missing. Tho best tine to build your fire is whon the sun is going down. Tho best place is between the edge of a pine forest and a loko. I have done this and should know. As the sun goes down «and the sunset glow gradually fades away the canp-firo is repeated in the lapping waters of tho lako as they run up on shore and quickly retreat as if they dared you to try and catch then. Slowly, silently, the darkness settles over you, conforting, protecting you like a mother hen r.tchos over her chicks when night cones. For a moment all is silent. Then the forost people wake up. Accompanied by tho lap-lapping of the water they begin their nocturnal serenade. A little rabbit cones out of the woods, shy as if he feared the darkness night hide some enemy. Ho scampers around a bit and soon tells his comrades that all is safe. Thump, thump, thump, thump! This r.oans Come on out and play. A littlo mouse comes to tho clearing. His beady eyes reflect the glow of tho car:p-firc which has been dying down until only a few embers are still glowing. Off in the dist«anco «an owl calls his comrades, V ho-e-a-a. As the camp-fire dies down the noisos become larger. They seen to get very loud «and then suddenly coase. Tho next morning you discover that you had fallen asleep. TPES Y RHI by Mnry Jano Forstner, Freshman I saw a bird this spring, And such a littlo thing, It flittod to «and fro, From ho«aven here bolow. It took sono odds and ends, This vo£y little wren, To build a little nest, Whoro it could have a rest.
