Do something besides amuse it. Seek a goal e'er you confuse it. Live it well, or you may lose itl -Vazlis E. Rieslmzd. y Y A TEACHER She walked with me a little while Down life's long, endless road. She guided me with kindly smile, And showed that the way was good. She took upon her world-worn heart Each problem, and made me see That man plays not a fate-bound party But a man's what he wants to be. Margaret WiIe,i'.. Page Twenty-two ----- - -
