Sixteen MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS AFTER READING PARADISE LOST As one who gazes at a mountain height Doth marvel greatly at its beauties fair; And yearns to [fierce its myst'ries rare, And feels his heart throb with delight; So Milton see me th to our youthful sight, When we his mighty works do share, Like towering peak beyond compare In cosmic thought, and lofty might. Oh, wondrous poet of human sight bereft, What wealth of light to others thou hast brought; What strains of music evermore sublime, What imagery through clever words so deft, What hidden power, and majesty of thought. We thank you for your gift almost divine. Grace Fletcher. Snrn eett JUNE CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary. T reasu rer Orator..

Thirty IF CHAUCER WERE ALIVE TODAY If Chaucer had been living in this day, At all our foibles he would laugh and say, rrThese folk on pilgrimages never wend. And all of them to worldly pleasures tend. They think not of the morrow, never heed The advice given by friends, nor feel a need Of holier things; no man is well content, What e'er his lot. I all these things lament.” Oh Chaucer, if to us thy skilled pen And power of satire had bequeathed been, Perchance, then, we should be in all our ways, A better race of men, and spend our days To greater profit; thus our lives should be Filled with happiness, lovey and piety. Oh God, who sent a Chaucer to amuse A sordid earth, and his pen for good didst use. Grant to us now a man like him who may Do for us what Chaucer did in his day. Leslie Moss.

Thbty-Seven TO THE SENIORS Fellow classmates, for four long years we have studied and lived together, have enjoyed the friendship of each other and partaken of the pleasures of our youthful and care-free days, and9 now we are coming to the end of our high school career, and we prepare to step forth into the field of life to fight the interminable battle for existence, happiness, and success. We must � i i i ; i strive onward; the mists are unrolling, the goal is now rising above the horizon and coming into our view and the pathway to it is becoming clearer and straighter day by day; we must push on over raging torrents and defying obstacles, till we gain the pinnacle of success. And when the end does come, may we look back and proudly say that we have done the best within our powers, that we have fought every step of the way in a clean, sportsmanlike manner, always with a cheerful and fearless heart, a clear mind, and lending a helping hand to others.

COACH ROY PATE CAPTAIN 'QUARUR8AC Earl Jarrell, Fullback Virgil Powlll, Manager Manager Virgil wav the right man to step into the shoe of the manager of the Junior Colonels. William M. Kllly, Asst. Coach Rat Red Kelly, assistant coach, and member of the faculty, is very much interested in football. Kelly has given his spare time toward helping to produce a championship team. Roy Pah , Captain, Quarterback Frock The flashy running of Frock Pate, all-state quarterback, always gained for Woodlawn many yards of much-needed ground, and with almost instantaneous perception he could pick the weak spots and holes of the opposing team against which to hurl the weight of his men. Always a clean player and true sportsman, he contributed much to the reputation of his team. Leon Gorman, Fullback Cap!” F.x-Captain Gorman was a hard tackier, fast man and full of grit. He was an experienced backficld man and carried the ball well. LEON GORMAN FULLBACK EARL JARRELL FULLBACK Sixty-Nine Howard Sen mix, Quarterback So ” One of the smartest players ever produced by Woodlawn, Sot” can direct a football team like a professional. ROBERT MONTGOMERY HAH BACK Robert Montgomery, Halfback •‘Birdie Birdie was a hard fighter and one of the fastest men on the team. Eucent.

Center 'W Sug” had the real Woodlawn spirit when he went into the game. Maurice Vice, Center Vice is a tough fighter and a good center. Walton Lakey, End Boggic was one of the best and most outstanding ends Wood-lawn has had. His reputation as a rapid ground-gainer and as an excellent passer gained for him his position as an all-Southern end. Frank Wallace, Tackle Con, Corn was a true red-headed, hard-headed fighter, and a smashing driver.

Perrin Crantord, Guard Tubby Tubby, according to style, uses his weight to good advantage and crashes through all interference. ROBERT ARTHUR TACKLE Bill Cox, Guard Seventy-Two ■ SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL Wood lawn did not win any titles on the gridiron in '27 but the team is deserving of much praise, for it did far better than really competent critics expected. Starting the season with few letter men and losing some of these as the season advanced, the new men made an admirable effort. The inexperience of the line men was the team’s chief weakness and this was not helped by injuries in the backfield. Hardly any two games were played when the coaches were able to start a backfield intact from the week before. Pate was the chief scoring threat and his kicking always gained yardage when it was needed worst. Bondurant was a tower of strength in the line, especially on defense. He played a floating center and was always found where the offense struck. Men from the '27 squad who will return for next years team are: Capt. White, Cranford, Grubb, Thompson, Eager, Stroud, Pee, Dickson, Arthur and Bailey.

The team made its usual good showing, however, the season’s record being on a par with most previous years and only a little lower than last year’s, when a veteran team gave Woodlawn the state championship. Phillips was defeated twice this year and the team won one game from Mortimer Jordan, the ’28 champs. The play of Hilton and Ellis at forward was good for first year men and with more experience and size they are expected to rank with the best next year. Probably the greatest development of the year was made by Arthur, who started the season as a scrub and was kept on the team only because of his size and a forlorn hope that he would ’’come through. He did and played his best ball of the year in the State Tournament at Tuscaloosa. Great things arc expected of Arthur next year. The regular guards were Griffin and Holt who worked most of their games very nicely and whose lack of experience was responsible for their occasional shortcomings. Jarrell proved an able relief man for cither of them. Bigham, while not a regular, was a man who made the team strong by reason of his ability to play forward, guard or center and do it well. All of the letter men of this year’s team will be back next year and we hope to equal the record of last years squad. Letter men were: Bigham, Evins, Ellis, Jarrell, Hilton, Arthur, Holt and Griffin.

Confidences flow as freely as the milk and honey of Palestine, without a tinge of restraint. Stars ride serenely in the velvety blue of the celestial spheres, but the soft and padded sounds of night and the conversant winds draw us into a closer circle. Margaret Fitzpatrick, with her executive ability and initiative, has decided to use it as a doctor. Margaret is attracted to the brightness of the surgical instrument and the delicate perfumes of a hospital. Margaret’s startling confession had stunned us all. We sat very still, mentally picturing the agony of her poor victims. Well-----” said cruel Eb Egar, I will be glad to accommodate Dr. Fitzpatrick. My Undertaking Parlors are at her disposal,” he ended graciously, disturbing the general peace of mind so completely that we sat up and huddled closer to the fire at the risk of scorching. Rebecca Sandusky and Claudia Williams sat up with the air of people who are about to disclose thrilling secrets. Claudia, with a gesture that would have made Venus green with envy, said, You know I have always considered the business world as my sphere. Rebecca and 1 have been thinking over the offer made to us by the largest cosmetic Corporation in America. They want us to teach the American (flapper) girls the art of discreet and becoming make-up.” Sagacious Conrad Jarrell looked a little sheepish. Wc turned inquiring eyes on his sober face. Unburden thyself, Conrad,” we cried in chorus. Well, I have neglected the artistic side of my nature for deep philosophy. I think that I'll take a course in )3zz dancing.” Stupified silence. Conrad and jazz. Well, they won’t fit. Never! I looked across the warm glow of the fire into Paralcc’s dreamy eyes and wondered who filled them so completely. Henry Wildsmith expressed the desire to minister to the spiritual side of man’s nature. Judging from the very heated argument wc overheard between Henry and Martha Seidell on Sunday Movies, Mr. Wildsmith will make a tremendous impression on his congregation. Martha’s intense fervor took a modernistic trend. Who would have thought such scorching fire lay dormant in her demure and charming self? If Martha follows out her theories on Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” won’t Newton be rather neglected? Jules de I.aunay, noted for his clever and well phrased speeches, very modestly assured us that he will throw his gauntlet into the field of art. 1 caught a glimpse of a masterpiece of Mr. dc Launay’s one day and it was such a fair representative of the model that it should have been published on the page of laughs. The conversation turned to love, and I was greatly shocked to note how fluently and authoratively Dorothy Carlisle and Mildred Thrash expounded their ideas. Gladys Moore said nothing, verbally, but her intelligent eyes, dancing wickedly, told me quite clearly that she found the views very humorous. Perhaps she could have given us some very helpful ideas. Do you think so? What! Leslie Moss sat very still, probably because her sweet voice would never be heard in such a tumult of voices and laughter. I can assure you, from personal contact with her, that whatever career she chooses will be a marked success. Bxbty-Fom LOG OF A JOG THROUGH WOODLAWN HIGH SCHOOL You arc now on the famous First Avenue, famed for the students who use it each day to go to Woodlawn High School. This campus that you sec before you was once covered with beautiful grass, but Miss Ordway made the powers of Comus seem so real to Bill Cox that he waved a broom-stick over the grass and it turned to the stone you see here now. To the left is the Baptist Church, on the right is the Presbyterian Church, across First Avenue is Vice’s Undertaking Home, and behind the school is Forest Hill Cemetery. Quite convenient for the teachers who expect us to study, and then die of disappointment. No, the iron pole extending to Olympus is not a flogging post, nor is the rope used toh hang pupils who chew gum in Miss Fink's classes. It is a flag pole, fields, due perhaps to the fact that it is run by the Seniors, as so many teachers claim. .01 You arc now entering one of the finest high schools on this side of the Elysian fields, due perhaps to the fact that it is run by the Seniors, so so many teachers claim. We enter the office. The little cage-like affair is not a dark closet to put students in who do not carry their trays back in the lunch room; it is the office of George I). Cox., Inc., Dealers in Boys. The door on the opposite side leads to the abode of N. B. Hendrix, who is famous for such remarks as Congratulations on a splendid report. You are now dismissed to go to your fourth period class, ct cetera ad infinitum. Note the pictures on the walls. They are really works of art. One visitor even asked if some of our students painted them. Observe Mr. Clock, the Mussolini of Wood-lawn High School. Seventeen hundred people do its bidding at its slightest command. .01005 This is the main hall, race track of the school. The Frieze was broken by one of the hot air explosions in the Auditorium during the oratorical contests. (There had to be a joke about it.’ The Auditorium, by the way, provides ample sleeping quarters for fifteen hundred students. Going on through the hall we pass 107, Mr. Wilson’s room, which he always keeps full of insects. .015 Now we retrace our steps, not wishing to interrupt any conversations that may be in progress on the back stairs. Going up the front stairs we find ourselves on the third floor. In the hall there arc pictures, thanks to Mr. Pizitz. This door leads to the library. Miss Ordway’s office, or Miss Stcadham’s office; it all depends on whether you didn’t have your history, forgot to write your theme, or went in the wrong door in the lunch room. .018 Betaking ourselves farther, we pass 206, home of two dimples, and a Physics Laboratory, sometimes. It is also a chewing gum dispensary. Mr. Harrison lives next door. The only objection made against Mr. Harrison is that of certain freshmen who have become sea-sick watching the waves in his hair. gIity-Fiir .019 Farther down the hall is 212, former residence of Miss Fink, now inhabited by Miss Lotspcich, and certain would-be mathematicians. Right around the corner is Miss Lotspeich’s private office, in which she keeps her basket and serves G. Washington coffee. .02 Having again reversed our footsteps we arc now on Tatlcr Avenue. In 205 the Annual Board has its regular, but somewhat irregular meetings; in 207 the Staff meets when there is no other place to go. There are many accidents along here due to the dumbness of the Chemistry students. .021 It is said that the downward path is easy, so let’s go down to the first floor. This is our lunch room, famous for many things in general and lunches in particular. No, the flag hanging on the wall is not to dry trays. You have only to pick one up to find that they arc not even washed, much less dried. Stop! We can’t go out that door. The two end doors arc for entrance only, under penalty of the number of extra hours Mr. Hendrix has to give away. .0215 This is the Wall Street of Woodlawn High School. There is the bank, and all along here arc commercial rooms. .0216 In Room 11 here, wc study (I beg your pardon, hike) Latin. In Virgil we learn more about love than by reading Cynthia Gray’s column in the Post, or from watching Mr. Miller and Miss Biewctt, not to mention certain other very amorous beings within the solemn portals of this high and exalted seat of learning. .022 Well, we might as well go out to the Rat’s Nest. I do wonder why they named this cottage after 401 Overalls. It is true that Miss Johnson wears a smock sometimes, but as for overalls, bah! .023 You say you must be going? Well, good-bye. Next time you come, make your visit at the seventh period, so I can get out of my Latin Class to show you the other points of interest in Woodlawn High School. THE GRAND IMPERIAL ORDER OF THE SONS OF REST The following students have recently been elected to the Grand Imperial Order of the Sons of Rest because of their repeatedly shown ability to avoid any unessential physical exertion or any disturbance of their mental equilibrium, and for having the marvelous will power to refuse to let themselves be contaminated by lowly learning ot knowledge: James Edward Davis, Robert Ansley, Eunice Wesley, Dudley Bell, Kathleen Edwards. Ray Goddard. Charles Metis, Robert Cox, Sidney Andrews, Jeff Powell, Kirby Smith, Edna Laney, Truett Hurst, Robert Howlctt, John Sharp, Grady McNaron, Paul Taylor. Eighty-Six ALICE IN TATLER LAND Alice was a typical V. H. S. student. She banked every Tuesday, bought her athletic tickets, did not talk in auditorium, and never chewed gum in Miss Fink’s study hall—But— She had never heard of the Tatlcr. You, of course, ask: How in the world did such a thing ever happen? It just did—but listen to the fate of Alice. Spring fever was in the air; Alice had a seventh period study. Why should more be said? One day, just as she took her scat in study hall 101, Alice was stunned to see a boy, neither a marshall nor one of Miss Lewis’ assistants, rush madly down the hall. She was so curious that up she jumped and rushed after him. The teacher called Where’s your okch?’’. but Alice, deaf to all commonplace cries, rushed on. At last, breathless, Alice was about to give up the case, her quarry darted into the Taller office, of course. Alice at once followed him and the door shut behind her. The minute the door shut, Alice’s cars were assailed by a volley of strange noises, and she found herself amidst a strange crowd of creatures—creatures is the only word for them, because some were birds and some other things. A queer animal, more like a turtle than anything else, introduced himself as an advertising assistant and volunteered to be her guide in the strange country—Tatlcrland. The guide pointed out the various animals as associate editors, circulation managers and so many other new and puzzling creatures that Alice’s brain was completely befuddled and she couldn’t remember half of them. But one creature, so far above Alice’s head that he seemed to reach the sky, was that rare specimen, an editor-in-chief. Wishing to talk to him, Alice locked around for a church steeple to climb, but couldn’t see one handy. Her guide thoughtfully produced a lunch room sandwich which he presented to her, and as she ate it, she felt her feet slowly receeding into the distance. In a few minutes she found herself face to face with the tall editor-in-chief himself. He welcomed her gladly and assured her that he was quite delighted to find some one whom he could talk to, face to face, and not have to crane his neck to look at the top of her head. He invited her to come with him to the party, (F.d. Note: Can you imagine it?) for the creatures, not in the Tatlcr office, but in 207. Alice felt that now she was enjoying life. The party was a croquet game, but the balls were wads of paper and the mallets were pencils. The object of the game was to write one’s story first. As soon as Alice began to catch on to the game, her tall friend whispered Be careful, here comes the Queen.’’ The queen was closely followed by another strange creature, which the guests whispered was the other editor-in-chief, adding that they came in pairs. Alice could see only a small creature but some one handed her a bowl of soup and suddenly she was face to face w'ith the small animal. Just then, the queen caused some excitement by shouting “Off the board with him’’ at one of the players, who was immediately shown to the door by the tall animal. Suddenly, the croquet ground became a court room, with the editors-in-chief presiding, the Queen as judge and the animals as defendants. The tall animal read the accusations and the small animal called the witnesses. Case one,” called the Queen. Case one,” answered the tall creature and proceeded. The Tatlcr Board it took some work, All on an April day; The Tatlcr Board it took some work, And forgot it right away” Eighty-Set rn Witnesses,” called the Queen. Alice,” called the small editor-in-chief. ' Alice was surprised, but not afraid. The Queen proceeded to cross examine the witness. Qucs.: Whom did Woodlawn beat March 28th?” Ans.: I don’t know.” Ques.: Why don’t you know?” Ans.: I never heard.” Ques.: Do you read the Tatler?” Ans.: No.” Witness sentenced to five hours because of Rule 63: All persons who do not read the Tatler, liable to detention.” Alice jumped to her feet shouting, You wrote that rule just now.” Who says I did?” Who cares for you any way? You’re only the Tatler Board.” At that the whole Board flung itself at Alice. There was a crash. The second bell rang. Alice rubbed her eyes, picked up her books off the floor and told her story to a Tatler reporter. THE AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION OF COSMETIC WORKERS The annual confab of the Amalgamated Association of Cosmetic Workers was held in Miss Hannon’s office at 4:25 (forty minutes late, caused by the failure of the president to recover a lip-stick loaned to the corresponding secretary) February 30. The retiring president, Claudia Williams, presided until her successor was elected. The following members were unable to pass the inspection of the outer guard and were barred from entering: Rebekah Sandusky, Janis Thompson, Eleanor Kendrick, and Dorothy Phillips. The committee on organization, appointed at the last meeting, made the following report: The aim of this organization: Cover the surface and you save all. The colors: I.ip-stick red and blondinc. The pass word: Kiss proof. All members arc required to pass the inspection of the doorkeeper before entering the meeting. After much discussion the report was adopted. Officers and sponsors for the new term were elected and installed as follows: Sarah Floyd, President; Emily Ellen Poe, Vice-President; Johnnie Louise Gillespie, Secretary; Virginia Banks, Treasurer. The sponsors are: Misses Beulah Ferguson, Elizabeth Chapman, Margaret Lewis, and Beatrice Hannon. Miss Juanita Fink is recommending sponsor and all applicants for membership must have her formal okeh (at least five demerits) before their applications will be considered. The society will hold its annual dance very shortly, and it is hoped that many will be attracted by this dance. Sarah Floyd will lead the dance with the President of the Fountain Sheiks, Virgil Powell. Eighty-Eight ROYAL I” CLUB Realizing that there has always been a need for such an organization, there has been formed this year in Woodlawn High School by a group of the students an organization, membership in which is a reward and honor for those students who have come fully to realize their wonderful powers and abilities, their omnipotent and omniscient intellects and intelligence, their charming personalities, and the dire need of the world for them. Realizing that there arc very few persons who ever come to this realization, these organizers, while trying to make the organization wholly comprehensive, have kept an eye on the purpose of self-preservation. In short, they have formed the Woodlawn High School Vm ll chapter of the Royal I” Club. They have chosen as their motto: Big I, little u,” and their song is entitled, When I'm Gone, You’ll Go To Pieces. Each member realized that he or she was really the logical person for the presidency, but, as they knew they would have to compromise, they unanimously elected, each one voting twice, the present incumbent of this office. The by-laws say that the leading Honorary Members should include all members of the faculty and persons having made a success in any line of work or activity. The organization has made notable progress during its short existence, and much is hoped of it for the future. Officers: President, Charles Farkas; Vice-President, Sidney Carpenter; Secretary, Jerome Brooks; Treasurer, Charles Giorlando. Active Members: Arnold Benton, Newton Skelton, Taylor Hamrick, James Edward Davis, Margaret Fitzpatrick, Sylvia Sisson, Conrad Jarrell, Billy F.dmundson, Sydney Andrews, Charles Guthrie, Ralph Fees, Robert Ansley. Sponsors: Mr. Miller, Mr. Kelly, Miss Hayward. Honorary Members: (List too copious to be quoted.) HORSE FEATHERS! It’s all OKMNX now! The Nannies are standing pat, behind their exalted angora, Margaret Fitzpatrick, the choice of five hundred nannies for President. The club room is kept a secret, but anyone applying to the recording angora, Cornelia Frazer, will, on the payment of ten cents, be admitted to all secrets of the Nanny Goat Branch of the S. M. O. of the B. of B. G. At the last meeting the following sisters were horse-feathered: Sylvia Sisson. Martha Seidell, Mary Bain. Mildred Linder, Julia Pogue, and Frances Ellis. The three angoras—past, present and future—conferred the degree of exalted Rocky Mountain on these sisters: Gladys Moore, Beulah Poore, Sarah Bernhard, Joy Hearn, and Sara Hardin. The exalted angora of the associated group of Billy Goats, Claude Dorough, welcomed the following receivers of the first degree (Ma-a)—not murder): Misses I.ocb, Blcwctt, Ordway, Johnson, and I.ots-peich. The aim of the chapter this time is to increase its enrollment to 99 44 100 members. These members are chosen by the recommendation of three Nannies who have the degree of horsefcaliters. These recommendations may be obtained in Miss Hannon’s office on the payment of whatever she wants to collect. Eighty- Ni� r MY GRANDMOTHER’S ADVENTURE The other day while in town, 1 saw a scene which reminded me of a story I have heard my grandmother relate. I was standing on a corner down town. It had just been raining, and the streets were rather slippery. Standing there idly 1 was watching the antics of a dainty maid who was trying to cross the street without soiling her shoes, when I saw a horse (yes, there are a few left). As 1 watched, the driver pulled the reins to stop the horse. Well, the horse’s legs did stop in relation to his body, but they did not stop in relation to the street. With his legs sprawled out, he started coasting down the street to stop directly in front of me. Now, the rest of the story, what the driver said, did, etc., won’t do to be printed and that is not my story but that incident is the inspiration, for the following. About forty years ago on a farm in southern Alabama there lived a family which got along exceptionally well. I do not mean in wealth, for that was shortly after the Civil War, but in the joy of home life. My grandmother was the oldest girl, so she had quite a bit of work to do. At the time of this story she was about fifteen. Since she had only recently got up out of bed from a spell of sickness, her brother, who thought he was quite a man (he had just passed his twelfth birthday), stayed around the house, supposedly to help his sister. Her dad was a lover of live stock. He had pigs, sheep, several fine horses, and cows. Now, one of these cows was certainly a pet. She had been raised by him and had been petted by the whole family. When she came home from the pasture, she would go straight to the kitchen door, which was rather close to the ground, to get some one to give her some bread One day there was no one at home except grandmother and her brother, John. John had been instructed and warned to have the pasture gate repaired before his dad got home. But, very unfortunately, he had an attack of spring fever and so spent his time sitting around. Late that afternoon when the sun was sinking and only such peaceful noises as the occasional flap of a chicken's wing as it was going to roost, or the tinkle of a cow bell, or the neigh of a horse, could be heard, he was sitting on the well curb practicing on his harmonica and drawing pictures with his bare toe in the white sand which covered the yard. From the neighboring hill there came the bleat of the sheep as they turned to graze lazily homeward. From where he sat the boy could see a white stream of smoke rise softly through the calm air from the kitchen stove. An occasional breath of air brought tantalizing odors of delicious home-cooked food. Everything was so still and quiet that, if the boy had been a philosopher, he would have felt that it could not last but that something exciting was going to happen. Perhaps he did have this feeling; who knows? Oh, John, bring me some water, his sister's call broke the quiet only for a minute. The only sign John gave that he had heard was to increase the volume of his music. After a short time his sister came to the door with a bucket and after looking at him with despairing eyes (she too well knew the uselessness of trying to force him), she came on out to the well to get the water herself. John, she said, you never will amount to anything. His silence remained unbroken. Ninety After a time she remarked again, John, you had better go fix that gate. It is about time for dad to come home, 3nd you know what he said. I’ve already made the bread and put it on and—.” Suddenly she stopped and her eyes spread wide with fear. John, did you hear that, she whispered. Y-yes, I-I heard it. This was very loud to calm his fears. He made no move to get up, but continued to sit there as he was scarcely able to stand because of his fear. Yet, he pretended to be very brave. It was nothing. O, John, yes, it was, too. I know. It might be Old Beck’s haint come back to scare us.” Old Beck was an old man who, during his life had delighted in fright- ening the boys and girls of the village. His death had been received, outwardly with grief, but inwardly with joy. And it was the common fear of all of them that his haint would come back.” John grew visibly more frightened. But finally, after much beseeching by his sister, he was prevailed upon to go with her to see what it was, but not until he had gotten a big stick of stove wood from the wood pile. With trembling bodies and pounding hearts they approached the door. John’s sister, who was in front, got to the door first. Crouching behind her with his stick raised, he looked as if he was more willing to run than to enter. Go on, sis, or move so I can.” As he said this, he gave her a shove which sent her inside. She was turning around and had started to run out when she suddenly stopped and burst out laughing. Abruptly John’s fears were calmed and his chest began to swell in a manner of bravado. Let me in to see what it is. I’ll brain it.” He was pretending that he had not heard his sister’s laugh. It’s-it’s-, She could go no further, but was seized again with a fit of laughing. Come sec, she managed to say in choking grasps. John, feeling vastly better, looked in. Then, he, too, started laughing. Their cries of amusement made the hills re-echo. In there with her horn hung on the stove door was the pet cow. Her legs were sprawled out until she looked like a new-born colt trying to stand. A most mournful look was in her eyes as she rolled them around to behold her laughing spectators. With heaving sides she struggled to regain a footing; but, since the floor had been worn smooth by the constant use of fifty years, she was unable to do so, and stood looking like a balloon propped up with sticks. Grandmother and John were so tickled at the struggles of the poor cow that they forgot that she was really in need of help. They stood holding their sides and almost bent doubled with laughter. While they were standing there, their father came home. He, too, was amused and laughed, but he was of a more practical mind. He helped the cow to regain her footing and sent her out into the yard. From that day the cow when she wanted some bread never came closer than five feet of the door, for she had learned her lesson: Never put your nose where it docs not belong.” Xincfy-Onr A PASSIONATE NEGRO TO HIS LOVE (With Apologies to Christopher Marlowe, IS64 A.
