u THE TOWER LIGHT The Storm Now all is calmg It is a calm that brings alarm and fear. The air is stillg I see afar a cloud approaching fast. The light grows dim, The sun now hides in fear behind the cloud. I see the rain That falls in sheets before the wind that drives Hither and yon. - Another cloud now joins the one observed, A lighter hue P It is, but seems almost as menacing. Now comes the wind That whips around the house, but soon retreats, Again it comes, Bringing the cooling rain long needed here. The rain beats down, The steam arises from the pavement hot. A sudden flash Of lightning comes, disturbing my repose. The thunder roarsg How mad it seems to make such awful sound! The wind that comes To me smells dank, is cool and fresh. The rain slackensg Onward the cloud is blown before the never-tiring wind. A part covers me still but all that's left Is scattered wide. The light returns as clouds disperse afar, Only to fade Again, as sunset brings the close of day. ELEANOR BoUNDs, Jn., 4 17

THE TOWER LIGHT Try These OU enjoyed The Good Earth ? Then enjoy yourself again and read another book with a similar theme but an entirely new setting and new story. As the Earth Turns, by Gladys Hasty Carroll, gives a vivid picture of the life of a large New England family dependent upon the soil for its existence. As the earth turns the winter into spring, spring into summer, summer into fall, and fall back into winter again the Shaw family experience birth, romance with a foreign neighbor, death, family revolt, and the success of one son in the outside world. Out of all these experiences, Jen stands forth as a central figure and a true daughter of the soil. As a reward for her untiring efforts in sharing both the good and bad fortune of the family, she gains a--. What would you like her to gain? Read the book and I think she will have received the reward you would want her to have. If you do not wish to read the novel of the Maine family, then I might suggest another book: Anne Boleyn by E. Barrington. There is no need to say more, because you,ll remember: Henry the Eighth, to six wives he was wedded, One died, one survived, two divorced, two beheaded. Who wouldn't enjoy a king's romance? Anne, the most beautiful of all the wives, resolved to capitalize her beauty for her own ends, but these were the days when what was a woman's virtue one way or . . . ,, ' another in the great game of kings and kingdoms? Still there are others! 100,000,000 Guinea Pigs by Arthur Kallet and F. J. Schlink will tell you how well the Food and Drugs Act protects consumers of foods, drugs, and cosmetics. Search the shelves of new books for yourselves and select a book of your own taste. E. TROYER, Senior IX. 16
