'6 I Venus, fearing her enemy, Juno, plotted to have Cupid go with Achates in the place of As- canius and make Dido fall in love with Aeneas. During the grand banquet, Dido seemed bewitched by Cupid and could scarcely take her eyes from him. After a libation was poured, Iopas played on his harps and sang many songs. Then Dido, anxious to have Aeneas with her as long as possible, asked him to tell the story of the fall of Troy and his Wanderings. E B '31 . ., . FISHING I am always glad to see The overiiowing brooks in the spring, We then think of the joys Which summer will bring. I get out my rod, line, sinkers and hook, And then I decide which will be the best brook. During the day, when therels rain in the sky, n Is the best time to fish if you keep good and dry. I dig a few worms to put on the hook, And then start out on my way to the brook. Where the water flows swiftly in under the bank, This is where I wait for a nibble, there yank. Out comes a trout-a beauty red spot- And, believe me, he was not very short. I started back home excited as could be, During the next day, I went again and got three. To you who go fishing, please take my advice, Be sure to have your license or you'll pay a big price. The large trout which I have said that I caught, ls left to you to believe it or not. C. H. P., '3fz. MY FAN CIED OCCUPATIONS In the following paragraphs I shall endeavor to tell my fancied occupations. They are, I admit, quite different today from those which I thought they might be during my knee-pant years. As a child, I always told my dad I was going to be an engineer on a choo-choo train, but now, quite the contrary, I would not think of such a thing. Un a winter morning, when the mercury reads about twenty below zero, it is my delight to start The Blue E-r VVhite for the woods for a good day's work, made pleas- ant by the music of the chickadees. Une might say, that fellow must be cuckoo, to like to go into the woods when it is so cold. That doesn't worry me, because I can assure myself of this-if I keep the oldax swinging, there is no need of ,being cold. As spring comes, so does the joy of trout fish- ing. When I awake and hear the melodious notes of the birds calling, I cannot help but get up to smell a whiff of the fresh and fragrant spring air. After all of this, I feel as if a trout for breakfast would not be too tough, so I get my rod, hooks and plenty of bait and start for Cobb's Brooki' in VVindham, about a half mile from I-Iighland Lake, or, I might say, my home. After I have reached the brook, I bait my hook and drop it into the creek. First comes a nibble, and then a hard yank of the line g what a thrill when I give him an angle and he comes out of the babbling brook just below the foaming falls. After catch- ing six of these speckled beauties, I go home, and have a delicious breakfast of nice, fresh trout. Who wouldn't fancy an occupation or a pastime like the above mentioned? R. w. s., 232.

VVestbrook High School I5 May God have mercy on our souls and forgive our wickedness. H. M. L., '32, ,i DOORS A PRECIS Doors are always a mystery, as no one. no mat- ter how familiar with the other side of it, knows what may happen. Maybe the cook has left, or any incident might have occurred. There are many kinds of doors--glass doors, prison doors, wooden doors and revolving doors. The glass door is more like a window, one can see what is beyond. Even dogs understand the matter of closed doors as frequently they stand before one and bark. The opening of doors is a mystery g it brings a new happening into a new moment, that is, it changes everything, but a closing of doors is dreaded, as it brings something to an end. It may bring sadness or misfortune. The slamming of doors is a confession of temper. Opening of doors brings hope, while the closing of them brings despair. There is a door shutting which will come to all. It win betdom-1 quietly with 3 Click of the latch and bring sudden stillness. They will stop to think of the unfulfilled decency and of the good we have done, and then-they will be out and close the door. T. L., '32, A GOWN, MADAME? We may be all of live feet tall, So fat we can but waddleg Yet, still we fall for what they call: ' UA slender little model? Or else our weight is ninety-eight, And we're six feet up and down. We hesitate-and this seals our fate: i A 'girlish little gown. With form like mine or form divine, To self-same shops we flock, VV here clerks incline to that clever line: A charming little frockf' , B. Q., '31. BOOK ONE OF VIRGIUS AENEID The goddess juno's hatred of the Trojan race was so great that she would gladly have destroyed its last remnants to prevent the founding of Rome. VVhen Aeneas sailed from Sicily, going to Italy, Juno went to see Aeolus, god of the winds. She asked him for control of the winds and as she was greater than he, he promised her his aid. All the winds were freed and there was a terrible storm. Some of Aeneas's ships were wrecked and he be- lieved all the fates were against him. Meanwhile, Neptune perceived that something was wrong, and coming to the surface of the water, was very angry. He rebuked the winds and soon quieted them. Aeneas landed on the coast of Africa with seven of his ships. Wlhile, trying td find out where he was he saw many deer and killed seven of them for food for the crews of his seven ships. After eating the food, they mourned for their lost com- panions. Venus, Aeneas's mother, appealed to jupiter, asking him why her son should have such bad luck. jupiter reassured her and prophesied a bril- liant future for the Trojan race. U Vlfhen Aeneas went to explore the country where his ships had landed, he met his mother disguised as a Spartan maiden. At first he did not recognize her as his mother but suspected her of being a goddess. She told him about Queen Dido and the city of Carthage, then after telling him his comrades were safe, she revealed herself and disappeared. Aeneas entered Carthage wrapped in a cloud. He saw Queen Dido enter her temple and later was very much surprised to see some of his com- rades. Everybody, young and old, seemed very busy building this magnificent city. lloneus, a Trojan companion of Aeneas, pleaded with Dido for the Trojans. She dismissed his fears and said she would make no discrimination between her people and his. When she wished that the Trojan leader Aeneas were there, Aeneas revealed himself. Dido gave the Trojans a royal reception. Aeneas sent Achates back to the ship to bring his son, Ascanius, and gifts for Dido.
