Spring, Nineteen Thirty-two 23 --------------------------------------------------------------.+ lEB®®Ik§ F®n° ©nnttsMe Meadim® -------------------------------------------------------------- BOOKS TO READ. You’ve been listening at doors—and behind trees—and down chimneys—or you couldn’t have known it!” “I haven’t indeed!” Alice said very gently. “It’s in a book.” When Mother and Dad go around the corner to a movie—one you’ve seen, and didn’t care to see again—and they leave you home alone, what do you do? Do you turn on the radio and listen to a .iazz orchestra, do you invite in all your pals and spend an evening at cards, or do you put on your bonnet and go somewhere? Anywhere—just so you won’t have to sit still? Or, are you one of those lucky individuals, who can curl up in a big leather chair, before an open wood fire—and read and dream? If you’re one of the latter you’re wealthier than a millionaire, even though you haven’t the price of a lead pencil in your purse. So, some night, why not try it! Give such an evening a chance. I’ll wager that if you spend one evening this way, you’ll spend many more the same way. Go farther than “Alice in Wonderland” and “Huckleberry Finn.” Read the “Talisman” and “Kenilworth.” I can hear you groan already. True, the first few pages may be dry, but the last four hundred and fifty! Oh, my! Read a biography or two, and find out that Hoover is president of the United States, and that Jane Addams is one of the greatest women yet. Read “A Man for the Ages,” and admire Lincoln some more. Read the articles along with the fiction—you’ll never regret it! Read some humor, read some satire, and don’t forget the poems. And above all read “The Royal Road to Romance,” and see in dreams that glorious old Taj Mahal. And—as you sit there before your fire, across the flames, you’ll see dancing along, Cinderella, hand in hand with Julius Caesar, Tess of the D’Urbervilles and her milk pails, Huck Finn with his fishing pole, Tam O’Shanter and his horse Meg, and many others; and like Alice you will say, “No, dear, I found them in books!” —Darline Fickling.

22 +■ Spring. Nineteen Thirty-two SUCCESS. “How did you acquire success?” asked the Sphinx. “Push,” said the button. “Do a driving business,” replied the hammer. “Find a good thing and stick to it,” said the glue. “Hold tight,” said the pin. “Hold your tongue,” answered the shoe. “Climb,” said the ladder. “Be on time,” responded the clock. “Run,” said the water. “Take panes,” said the window. “Keep cool,” said the ice. “Get hot,” replied the fire. —MO’K. CAD. THE COMING OF SPRING. I strolled through the meadow and longed for spring to be Some where in the country to play with me. Then upon my ears did fall, A strange, sweet call. I stood in silence and spoke not a word, I heard the strange music that no one else heard. Hark! ark! ark! ark! Hark! ark ! ark! Now I spied the gay meadow lark. Then wasn’t long, Until each heart was bursting with song. And back from the south came the robin, and jay, And never in our country, were people so gay. Old Mother Nature kept bathing the earth, Until it looked as if it had a new birth. Out of the clouds the rain she drew, And into each corner the water she threw. After their bathing from top to toe, Now the flowers, grass, and trees did grow. The dandelions the tulips did tease, As they nodded their beautiful heads in the breeze. This was found by Miss Tyler on one of the English II student’s papers: “I think a girl looks very attractive if she wears a red dress with blonde hair and blue eyes.” Wouldn’t you like to see this dress that has all these characteristics? Miss Oehmke: “George, make a sentence with ‘income’ in it.” George: “Income a cat.”
