The following poem by Miss McClel- land. entitled spring in Arizona" ap- peared in a conspicuous place in a re. cent issue Of the Wildcat:
 Spring in Arizona. The cottonwoods are filled with .eath-
 cred songsters: The sage is sending out new per
 fumc: The ocotilla blazes on the hillside; The sun is getting warmer at the
 noon: The saeebrush land is filled with tiny
 flowers; The little wld,ings sing mreful II isn't like the spring of old New
 England. But it's about the sweetest spring I've
 known. The yuccas point their spotless spikes 10 Heaven: The doves begin to croon lovers song: The palo-verde slows in the arroyaa: The little breeze is stirring all day long:
 The air is huming tho someone were
 tuning The whole wide world all ready for a song IL isn't like the spring in California But it's the iaires, spring that's come
 along.
 The mountain tops are getting deeper purple: The land is slowly turning dusky green:
 The heart of man is tuned io new adventure: To search for things that he has never seen. The heart Of Nature, throbbins in the desert, Casts out all that is caarse and base and mean:
 Ii isn't like the spring elsewhere ! meath Heaven. ! But it's the spring sublime: the : spring supreme.
