(By Russell HuxsoD
Years have fitted since some PAL
ents sought our teacher
Parents whose desires were knit
ted
Into one thought
Each a creature
Grander than we comprehended.
And they spoke unto the teacher
One in whom all virtues blended
Truly every good thought reached
her.
Build us straight, oh, worthy
teacher,
Wise and strong a noble vessel,
Such that all earth's strength can
reach her
With the worlds hard waves to
wrestle
And the parents word
Do you think the teacher heard,
Yes, her heart was in her work.
And the heart giveth grace to
every art.
A quiet smile played round her
lips
AS the eddies and dimples of the
tide
Play around the bows of the ships
That steadily at anchor ride,
And with a voice that vas full of
glee
She answered, ERE long, we shall
launch

staunch
AS yer pushed out on life's great

Wise teachers by their desks

Listening to catch his meaning.

THE FUTURE

THE FUTURE
(By Clyta Cusker)
A better ship (Class of '2S) OF
earth was never seen;
This ship | to myself will take;
1t shall be mine, and you will take
The paths decreed by Madam Fate
The Captains voice rang out, loud
and clear:
Our boat is ON the shore,
And soon we're off to sea
But before we go, Junior class,
Here's a double health to theei
Here's a sigh to those who love us
And a smile to those who hate
And whatever ship above us
Here's a heart for any fate"
Miss Futures voice again was
heard, soft and pathetic:
"The sea is calm tonight
The tide is full, the ship of '2S
glides forth
But of the thousand blended trails
in sight
Which to you the more is worth?"
OH then there was hurrying to
and fro
And gathering tears, and trem-
blings of distress
And cheeks all pale, which but an
hour ago
Blushed at the praise of their own
loneliness.
At last the honest Normal girls
spoke:
"We'll take path number three,
1t leads to the sea of matrimony."
On the departure of these three
Blanche, Evelyn and Helen
S~teffenson.
Three downcast boys Russell,
Wilmar and Harvey
Walled aloud in misery.
''The World is too much for us;
Late and soon, getting and spend
ing, we lay waste our powers,
we see in these paths that
is ours
For we have given our hearts ,
away
The poets heart was touched
with this pathetic scene: ,
So-uprose and rendered this: :
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue
sea, roll, n
Man marks the earth with ruins,
His control stops with the shores" 7
Yours, ah sea, is a society
Where none intrude, .

Tears streamed down the faces Of
the rugged bordermen IS they saw
their comrades draw black beans
