it be? A faint ticking came to my ear. I had it. The men had in their possession an infernal machine, an instrument which would send us into eternity in a few seconds. I wanted to run, but my legs tailed me Then 1 saw the composure of those four brave men and I concluded that it was too late to run. Throwing caution to the wind, I stood up, resolved to die like a man, a true nature’s nobleman. Then—- ting-a-ling-a-ling—and the mystery was solved. With that moment died the ideals of every pupil, of remaining late in bed, and with that instant a new alarm clock had been tested for a place on the ready market. Ah-h-h, fateful night! ... WITH THE POETS WASHINGTON. D. C. The station was full of travellers known And perhaps many pals and true friends of school, But you can’t imagine the feeling we had When we left our homes bound for Washington, D. C. The only real shower of our voyage was rice We received at the station before we left. The next event was the packing in berths. Both upper and lower were occupied To Washington, D. C. We all lacked sleep and rest that night Since talking and laughing were still carried on, But all were wide awake and sang When the train came to a standstill At Washington, D. C. When we disembarked the busses were waiting To take us to our headquarters, and here We received the first real treat which was New Winston Ham and Eggs, well known In Washington, D. C. I do not wish to go into detail About the marvellous things we saw. But these are just a few of the things Which happened to the class while in and around Washington, D. C. If you should have chanced to pass by Any street corner of Washington You surely would have seen your chum Posing for a picture in the street Of Washington, I). C. 1 could never begin to explain to you The beautiful scenery and buildings we saw. But none of us could appreciate fully The meaning and beauty of things so wonderful In Washington, I). C. The monument at which we took a climb Seemed to us very high and rare When in its small und lonely spire The people as pencils are passers by In Washington, D. C. Of course we all bought walking sticks The boys bought canes, and on the street They ate bananas, swung canes, and sang, “Oh, yes, we have no bananas today,” In Washington, D. C. I haven’t mentioned to you our eats, The chicken, the ham. the eggs, the cake, But if you wish full particulars on this Just ask the Seniors their New Winston menu In Washington, D. C.

The Seniors had the very best time While visiting this distinguished and beautiful city. We wish you all could take this trip Next year as a class and visit wonderful Washington, D. C. I wish to use this poem so crude As a means of thanking the lower classes. We thank you all for your co-operation And wish you the best success on your trip To Washington, D. C. VIOLA PEDEN, ’24. SCHOOL DAYS “Listen my children and you shall hear Of the nineteen twenty-four career.” I When we as Freshmen came to school We never broke a single rule, We always did our lessons right And always kept our books in sight. We never were the least bit late. Our notebooks were always up to date. Our English themes were always in. We studied so that A’s we’d win. We never talked or dared chew gum, And at our teachers’ call we’d come. II When we as Sophs the second year, Returned to school ourselves to cheer, The change in us was somewhat marked. Along the halls ourselves we parked. We wrote on the desks, and lost our books. The girls thought of nothing but their looks. They primped, they powdered, they bobbed their hair, The boys asked for dates” from the ladies fair. The teachers were shocked and told us so But we didn’t care—we were on the go. III In our Junior year we were all puffed out Monday Chapel was the general shout. Hair was put up and trousers were lengthened We were very proud and our power was strengthened. We grew very careless and were late for our classes And made a collection of little blue passes. Class meetings wore held and argued at will We talked and we giggled and wouldn't keep still. Each day some one a class would skip And then pay homage to a three-twenty slip. IV At last as Seniors we came into our own We never took any of our lessons home. We were far too majestic to raise any fuss If things didn't happen to go just right for us. We thought that the sun ought never to set Unless our permission it first would get. We were quite proud of the girls in the class Who, on the honor roll, the boys could not pass. But now with my story I really must close And in the “Phoenician” with others it goes. I quite assure you that all this is so. For I, as a member, have reasons to know.” CATHERINE FISHER, 24. TO JEROME: Alack and well-a-day! Write a poem you say; An ode to a toad Or a sonnet, A rhapsody on “My Ladies’ New Bonnet.” But I’m nearly dead,— I've a pain in my head From thinking so much upon’t. This little brain, child, Is a bit wild. It’s free verse—supposed to be. Still—do what vou will It may space fill— And I’ve not been a shirk For I’ve done the work Which you assigned to me. MILDRED WAGLE, '24.
