Life is full of ups and downs.
Life Is full of smiles and frowns.
Life can be q boisterous mirth,
But sometimes we doubt its worth.
To some, life Is q joyous bliss
That brings a smile. a sigh. q kiss,
But others lead q life Of fear;
Afraid of what may yet appear.
Life is merely q routine
To those who live quiet and serene.
They just sit back and let things
come;
This kind Of life is led by some.
And there are those who get from
life
Nothing but sadness, worry and
strife.
These people are the kind who try
To hide with q smile, q tear

The circus is a funny thing:
You see the clowns in the ring,
And see the ladies dance.
While all the horses prance.
The lion tanner is very good;
The monkeys behave as they
should:
The elephants do funny tricks
While the bears walk on sticks.
Then the people laugh and laugh
When they see the funny giraffe
All the people shout and shout
When the parade comes marching
out.
The acrobats are the best
They are ahead of all the rest.

Immaevloia Seminory

OF all the weeks in the year
probably one of the most colorful
is June Week at the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.
This year the week began in the
latter part of May and ended
June 8.
This week usually commences
with the ring dance, the most
important dance of the whole
year. Only the first and second
classmen and their "drags" may
attend this hop. It is at this dance
that the second classmen receive
their coveted rings. There are
five hops during this exciting
week. One of these, the 'N''
dance, is for midshipmen who
have participated in some sport or
another. Besides the different
hbps, there are parades. sports
events, tea dances, sailing, con-
certs and the admirals tea party.
One of the most beautiful cere-
monies during the entire week is
the traditional presentation Of
colors by the color girl to the best
company.
That night the farewell ball,
which is the last event to take
v,lace before graduation. is held.
incidentally, 1t is the only dance
the plebes are allowed to attend.
Finally, the memorable week
comes to q close with the gradua-
ton Of the first class. Then when

and truly knows that this week
has been an unforgettable expert
