G00D-BY, OLD YEAR

~ oraso ttr1ckier ~ wseA n xaneas City ptsf
Good-by Old Year, good-by,
bid you farewell tonight,
And watch you 60 with bit of a SIGH
But my heart is strangely light.
For in my hands hold
The treasures you brought to me.
Gifts more precious than wroughten gold
Or gems from 4 tropic sea.
A friendship proven true,
A hard task fairly done
And love which lives to bloom anew
With the light of every sun.
And you bear away. Old Year
In your garments Of trailing white,
An old regret and the ghost Of fear
AS you vanish from me tonight.
Good-by Old Year, good-byl
Smiling watch you go;
We have been good comrades, you and J,
But you cannot stay, know.
The New Year stands at the door,
Her promises fair | hear,
But still linger to say once more,
Good by, good-by, Old Year.

He carried also what was more
tangible and important in his sum-
mer plans, a worn brown foot
ball, the center OF many an after
moons battle between scrub and
varsity. AS soon as he was in
stalled at West Adams he went
to work. The spare, thin grass
on the upper meadow had been
cut. There, a good mile Neale
logged every day.. and there, all
the morning, he practiced punt
ing: booting the ball high and
far, racing down, trying to get
to 1t while It was still bounding;
then kicking it back again. ex-
perimenting with different ways
Of holding it. He always kicked
at some target. "IIl drop that
on the stone pile" he would say
to himself. and before he kicked
again. he would try to analyze
success and failures. He no
longer needed an Atkins to spur
him to use his brains. By II

he would Jog down again. take a
plunge in the inlet above the mill
pond, where no one could see
him for the thick growth OF

the mill, or lay around and read.

twitching and his ears were point

pointing to a clump of water weeds
growing near the spot where 1 had
been fishing.

he pointed. At first I didn't see
