'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.

'8 THE FRESI-IMAN CLASS I stood upon the staircase And gazed along the hall, I saw a bunch of green stuff Arranged along the wall. I looked again, and lo, it moved, I thought 'tvvas waving grass, But no, upon its way to the hall, 'Tvvas only the Freshman Class.

A BETTY co.ED Betty Co-ed has lips of red for South Portland, Betty Co-ed has eyes of Westbrook's Blue, Betty Co-ed has golden hair for Thornton, I guess her dress is Deering's Purple, too, Betty Co-ed's a smile for good old Biddeford, Her heart is Cheverus's treasure, so 'tis said, Betty Co-ed is loved by every high-school boy, But I'm the one who's loved by Betty Co-ed. She made a Wreck of old Portland Highi' And all of her Cadets,', too, She did the same to old Cony High But her line is good for years. Coquettish eyes-roguish sighs-oh, what lies! Betty Co-ed has lips of red for the Capers, Betty Co-ed has eyes of Paper City's Blue, Betty Co-ed has golden hair for the Saco-ites, I guess her dress is Deering's Purple, too, Betty Co-ed's a smile for the good old Biddies, I-Ier heart's for the Fighting Irish, so 'tis said, Betty Co-ed is loved by every high-school boy, But I'm the one vvho's loved by Betty Co-ed. I-I. M. L., '32, MY LIZZY I love my little Lizzy, She rattles right along, But when she strikes a snow drift It's quite another song. I was going dovvn the road one day And she headed for a pile of hay, Do as I may, she would not stay Away from that big pile of hay. But since Henry made a lady out of Lizzy, She is not quite so dizzy, But just the same, though very tame, I'll stick right to my Lizzy. R. S., '32,
