THE ROD OF CORRECTION

I sing to thee, Oh family tree
That reared me from my child
hood.
A hickory limb, so strong though
slim,
Which once grew in the wildwood.
L stand and stare as you sit there.
Ger in that corner yonder.
And to my view there comes anew
Sad scenes DER which l ponder.
When I was bad how oft my dad
Declared a private thrashin'!
Then to my hide you were applied
In such a painful fashion,
now recall how l would squall
So futile, yet so frantic.
When round my pants 1 saw you
dance
You seemed almost gigantic.
Yet time moves on and years have
gone
On swift unfettered pinion.
AS years have flown so have
grown
From meath your stern dominion.
And so today 1 pause to pay
My tributes, and to shield you.
Way every hand in our broad land
Know how to justly WELD you!

JOSIAH WINNER BOSTON
History and Athletics

Josiah Winner Boston was born in
Wilmington, Delaware, but at the
early age of one month was taken
to Berlin, Worcester County, Mary
land, where he now resides. The
early departure from Delaware was
perhaps a blessing to the school tea
| chers of Wilmington.
Mr.. BostOn's early educational
training was in the schools of Ber-
lin. Graduating from Buckingham
High School, he entered st. Johns
College at Annapolis to take a pre-
medical course. This was prepara-
tory to enteIng into the study of
pharmacy which he did two years
later, enrolling in the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy. After six
months of work, Mr.. Boston decided
that his old love, ST. Johns, was
much more to his liking and so re-
turned to seek a degree in science.
While at st. Johns, Mr.. Boston
took a course that would lead to
certificate in education and upon
accepted a school at Ber-
lin. From Berlin to Milford was
short step and he came here as in
Structor in History and Athletic Di-
rector in 1927.
During his college life Mr.. Boston
.oOk part in dramatics, student gov
inter-fraternity work, and
athletics, making his letter in base
Iall three straight years.
