THE CARS

The are always running,
The railway train, mean,
They roll along easily,
Very much like home they seem.
They stop at every station
Where any passengers may be found,
And blow that warning whistle,
Which Is heard by all around.
They take you to great New York
And trip to Boston too,
Or most any other place
That seems the best to you.
And they'll bring you back again
To your home, where'er 1t be-
Or to the very nearest station,
TO that place you wish to see.
aTis very restful to ride out now and then
In summertime or In the winter
You view 80 many pleasing scenes,
Which later on bring pleasant dreams.
Never fail TO take ride by rail-
Whenever you're weary or oppressed,
Xoun feel 50 very happy
after night Of perfect rest.

The maple trees are stirring now
With sweetly steady pulsing now;
throughout each tree another spring
Is stirring and awakening.
Snowdrifts stin lie upon the ground;
The wind is making winter sound;
NOW icicles hung from the caves
Form silver frieze cold weather weaves,
But hear the sap drip in the pail,
Small sign that spring will never fan
To wake from winter lethargy

There will be q beginners class

next iemester. This class will be
offered by Mr.. Barbakoff, who
has asked anyone interested to
sign up during the next two
weeks.
ROOMS DECORATED
Some of the teachers in city
high have added to the Christ
mas spirit by placing a few de-
corations in their rooms. Some
have little Christmas trees with
lights; others a table with a
Christmas scene on it. We think
this is a swell idea and breaks
the monotony of these rooms we
see every day with nothing but
windows and walls.
