0 THE U N I 0 N-E NDICOTT T I G E R TIGER DELEGATION TRAVELS TO NEW YORK l akes Part in Columbia Conference Many a student gazed with envy when he saw five members of the U-E High School leave town with suitcases in hands Thursday afternoon, March 16. • 1 knew their writing was bad, but 1 didn't think that they would have to leave town!” They might have said that for the bon voyants were Harry Love, Garth Miller, Juanita Mcrkes, Grant Johnson and Robert J. Spencer, staff heads and faculty adviser of the “Tiger,” on their way to attend the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association conferences at Columbia University, New York City. Arriving in the big town at Midnight, they registered at the Regent Hotel. The trip was a combination journey, for they attended the meetings and conferences at the University as well as reaped a wealthy knowledge of metropolitan life in New York City. Perhaps the best remembered of the activ- ities while in New York was the NBC television tour and the stage plays which the delegation attended as well as the practical ideas they received at the Columbia meetings in improv- ing this publication. GOOD LUCK! The members of the staff of the “U-E Tiger” would like to congratulate per- sonally each one of the 280 members of the June graduating class. As this is an impossibility, we take this method of wishing all of you the happiest possible life and the most successful career that you can aspire to. To commence life on your own is an entirely new problem. However, we feel that with the training you have had at U-E you will make the most of your ability and surge forward to your goal. Good luck! —The Staff CO-EDITOR JOHNSON LEAVES “TIGER” IN JUNE Member of Staff Since '36 Grant Johnson, co-editor of the U-E Tiger, began his journalistic career as literary editor of the H. B. E.

6 THE UNION-ENDICOTT TIGER A CYNIC’S PHILOSOPHY You can speak in words so wise When no trouble clouds your eyes, But just try it when ill-fate has got you down; For when a man is lucky, You’ll find him twice as plucky. And he’s set to fight the world without a frown. You can sit and give advice In a manner cold as ice, But there’s no advice can pull you from despair; Life’ll kick you all around Ti! you grovel in the ground Then leave you, licked and helpless, lying there When you think you’re down and out, Then just take a look about And you’ll see you’re not alone in woe and care; For no matter what your trouble, There’s some one who has double And with his, your plight has nothing to compare. —Harry Love FRIENDSHIPS I want to laugh when I know you’re gay And smile at the funny things you say; I want to rejoice at your victory As though you did it all for me. That’s the kind of friend I would be to you. I want you to know when I take your hand That here’s a friend wrho will understand. Who will feel the throb of your heart in pain And long for the time when it’s healed again, Who will know when shadow’s come your way And watch with you till the dawn of day. If others scoff as they sometimes do, Remember a friend who will pull you through; If you travel the world over, no matter w’here There is one who will follow you in prayer. Why, there’s hardly a thing I wouldn’t do Because, my friend, 1 believe in you. —Marion Sickler NIGHTMARES All those young souls who live on schemes, Whose days are spent in trances, Whose nights are filled with hopeful dreams Of beautiful romances Car. tell the yet unstricken one, “No use to run away, For Cupid’s dart will find your heart Though ’gainst your will, some day. And then you, too, will live in trances, Build up schemes, and hope for chances; And if your dreams to nightmares turn, Well—that’s the way it goes, you’ll learn.” —Bette McCoy TWO BEGGERS A begger lay beside the gate, A thing in rags, a pawn of fate, And no man there who passed him by Would drop a coin in warm reply To his plea—“Give alms for Allah’s sake.” Another sat within the town; Unlike the first, he wore no frown; Loud was the ring of coin in cup And with each coin his face lit up As men gave “alms for Allah’s sake.” So sat the two, one sad, one glad: No stronger proof could there be had That when no one will give or lend, A cheerful smile will win a friend, And men give “alms for Allah’s sake.” —Harry Love AN ANALYSIS OF BITTER MEDICINE Little drops of something, Little grains of stuff, Make a mighty bottleful— For me, that’s quite enough. —Bette McCoy THE MOON The moon Is one lone gold sequin Hung with bits of frothy lace Upon the dark blue velvet skirt Of night. —Bette McCoy ETERNITY The question which has always puzzled me Is the subject of eternity, Tis said that someday, none knows when, This world will come to an end, and then There will be a reckoning. The good above, the bad below, Each their separate ways will go; There forever and ever to stay, Not for just a year and a day, After the day of reckoning. It seems impossible that time will wend On forever without end, The good to be glad; the bad to be sad After the day of reckoning. I just can’t seem to realize, There’ll be sunrise after sunrise, With never, never any end To this eternal path we wend, After the day of reckoning. —Marjorie McWilliams
