Miss Nelson spent the recitation
period Tuesday in telling her Ger
man | class interesting facts about
Tossing, Goethe, Schiller and Heine,
Germany's greatest dramatic and lyric
poets. She spoke of the close friend
ship between Goethe and Schiller.
This was one of the most remarkable
friendships of the world, though the
two men were totally unlike, and were
from different classes of people, one
aristocratic snd the other poor, yet
each was attracted by the others great
intellect. Ask German today which
is the greater poet, Goethe or Schiller.
and if he is scholar he will answer,
Goethe but if he is peasant, he
will tell you, Schiller because
Schiller appeals to the emotions and
heart, while Goethe appeals to the
mind. Heine is Germany greatest
lyric poet. He was born of poor
Jewish parents, and the fact his peo-
pie were prosecuted so severely in
those times, tinged Heine's poems
with sadness, bitterness and sarcasm.
The Freshman class had a hay
ride last Friday night. Songs and jokes
