Ili illlluzt Bane at Refrain He was a noble student But he wrecked his splendid brain Writing for the class in English A poem with a refrain. He Worked through all his waking hours But his working was in vain For he couldn't write a poem And give it a refrain, He was discovered walking One night in the driving rain Ashouting to the howling wind HAnd it must have a refrain! His decline was very rapid: He soon was judged insane: And in his ward he shouted. V It must have a refrain? He was buried in the family lot Some peace at last to gain. And when they Wrote his epitaph They gave it a refrain. They put him in a padded cell But he broke the iron chain, And Wrote upon the floor the words It must have a refrainf' GRACE EDWARDS '28 Eight Zines Gbnlg He didn't eat, he didn't sleep, He sat there sad and lonely.

Page Thirty Elie Green :Seem Sail Euniglyt The trees tonight, all white with snow Bending laden limbs so low. Lack the joy that's in the air When the children, young and fair. Gayly fly o'er snow and ice Seeking thrills despite advice, Heeding not the warning sign Of dangers they are sure to find. 'Till some, more daring than the rest, Break through the ice and end the quest! These trees with boughs of shining white Whisper of follies of youth tonight. But soon bright Spring will come and bring Fresh colors, flowers, birds to sing. 'Twill cheer the trees. and add new sights, In which the children find safe delight. +DOROTHY BRADLEY 'Z 8 fStudents' Versions of a Poem Wz'th a Refrain! . Spring To the old swimmin' hole so gay! Why should we demerits fear? The sun is shining bright today, Hi! hif Spring is here. And though the exes, dreaded so, Like bears are creeping from their lair Upon us, to the creek we'll go! Hi? hi! Spring is here. PHILIP BAKER Suit Breanua Soft dreamsf Like feathered wings they float. Soft dreams Are wings for fairy boats. Softly through the realm of sleepiness they'r Gently kissed by light wings of hope. Soft dreams! They bring us promises anew. MAXINE MCKIBBEN '28 e drifted
