Page Six Heartening News Expected Soon Little did the poor lovesick swain who, once in a moment of weakness (and propelled by his innate desire to create the beautiful) produced the insipid "Roses are red, violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, etc ..." . . . little did he think that his work of art would exist through the years to be salvaged each Valentine's Day by other similarly affected and uninspired young aspirants to some fair lady's affections. Against the probability that, flower bedchecked and heart-encumbered, the same trite verse may find its way into some Guilford young lady's P.O. box (or some gentleman's) this week, a little research has been done among the classics of English poetry to give you gentlemen and the objects of your affections in spiration for different, unique, and appropriate valentines. First of all for someone involved in a campus triangle (and there is at least one prweding now center ed in Founders) this might be sug gested centrally located on a bright red heart with little flowers and cupids flitting around and the ap propriate portraits appearing in op posite corners: Hats Shirts Sweaters Neckwear TURNER'S CLOTHING STORE Men's and Women's Tailored Suits 227 S.

But while you thus tease me to gether, To neither a word will I say; . . . and conventionalized with a "Won't one of you he my Valen tine? tagged on the end. Sprinkled with roses and set in lace this little verse offers itself to the half score or so who used to trod the well-beaten path to Mary Ilobbs: Business I tried, you filled my miiul: On other lips my dear I kissed; lint never solid joy could find. Where I my charmin Sylvia missed. And for some of the "old men" in Cox and Arehdale Halls who have outgrown the futile and infantile practice of holding hands and kiss ing goodnight might this be ad vanced to be entwined among bache lor's buttons and wine glasses: In the days of your youth you could bill like a dove. Like a sparrow at all times were ready for love, The life of all mortals in kissing should pass, Lip to lip while your young—then the lip to the glass. THE GUILFORDIAN This might be followed up with something like, "Come share my bottle and be my Valentine." And here, surrounded by be lovered benches and half-dimmed table-lamps is a sweet sentiment offered in a sort of an open Valen tine to all the young ladies on campus from the powers that be: I fear that arm above your shoulder, I wish yon wiser, graver, older, Sedater, and no harm if colder. And panting less. Ah! people were not half so bold When we were young in days of old; And you'd do well if you'd uphold ' What we profess . . . my Valentines Before drawing these suggestions to a close, to those of you familiar enough with English literature to recognize the above passages, I sincerely apologize for any mis quotations I may have taken the liberty to use, and to M'iss Gilbert I likewise apologize for having the poor taste to refer to pseudo-classi cal ditties as "classics." !
