POETRY IN THE
MAKING
By Lyell Qlenn
Somebody started something the
other day when she purchased a book
of poems—-romantical poems, verses,
ditties or what you will from “The
Bookstore,” (you’re welcome, Mr.
Snavely). That was about two
weeks ago — and said volume has
circulated all over second floor Al
ice Olewell by now — the length of
stay in each room depending on the
state of the hearts of the occupants.
It circulated; too, through German
class, much to Mrs. Curlee’s chagrin.
And that’s not all—the smoke house
is a fiend about it! We expect to
see Miss Lawrence pouring over it
next.
There are so many “good” ones
in this little book — more than a
few fit my own particular senti
ments. Anyway — it’s got us doing
it — writing poetry I moan. Here’s
one:
‘ ‘ I want to write a poem
I don’t know how to start
I ju.st can’t seem to put in words
The jumbles in my heart”
A
But that’s only the beginning
folks. The second verse is still in
the making — and will be indefin
itely we fear. Here’s another;
When I Kit' in class,
And hear the fame
Of liistoric heroes,
I write your name.
And the arm of my chair
Is my Treasure and joy
For on it is scratched
Tlie name of my boy.
HOCKEY SCORES
lu the last week and a half there
have been several fine exhibitions
of good hockey. The Sophomores
played the Juniors Monday with a
final score of the Sophomores 2 and
the Juniors 1.
On Tuesday the 22nd the Seniors
played the Freshmen and topped
them with a score of 6 to 2. Just
after the holidays the Juniors and
Freshmen played a strenuous game
which ended with a 6-0 score for
the Juniors.
The only other game played this
week was the Senior-Sophomore
game which ended in a 3-0 victory
for the Seniors.
LIB
OUR VERY
PRESENT HELP
By Nancy Suiter
“Lib, I’m going to jump, out of
my skin when that fire thing rings.”
“Lib, why in the world do we
^lave to cut off our lights ten min
utes before we start marching?”
“Lib, tell mo quick. I forgot. Do
you put the window down or leave it
up?”
Lib, (patiently): “Now listen,
everybody, there isn’t any need to
get excited. Just go in your rooms
and wait, and it’ll all be over in a
little while.”
So Second Floor went in their
rooms, and sat on the edge of their
bed.s, and waited for the siren. About
nine minutes after eleven, the ten
sion was great; then TJH OOGA
OOGA OOOOGA! Everyone jumped
up, and everyone shrieked and stum
bled out into the hall, laughing.
Lib (quietly): “Let’s all be still.
You all go first. Then we’ll come”
So Second Floor trooped down
the steps and out into the cold. They
shivered and shook and answered
to roll call and started begging:
“Lib, let’s go back. It’s cold.”
Lib (comfortingly); “Rub your
hands, and jump up and down. We
can go back in a minute. ’ ’
When the Fire Chief said that it
was quite safe to go ill, not all of
Second Floor wanted to go. “We
want to stay out and look at the
stars,” they said.
Lib (sympathetically): “Do that
some warm night. You’ll freeze if
you stay out any longer.”
So Second Floor trooped back up
the stairs. As they were going up,
they met Captain P. Barrow marsh
alling a whole wing of third floor
down the steps. Everyone thought
that was very funny, and said; “Did
y’all get lost?”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, right out
this way! ”
“Ain’t third burning yet?”
Then, Lib (kindly); “That’s all
right, Pat you take your girls on
down, and tell the chief how it hap
pened, You, Sophs, quit kidding and
aro on up stairs.
So Second Floor returned to their
houF.es and went to bed.
Lib (wearily, as she blinked the
lights); “Good night.”
I DARE SAY.
If you have not read Liu Yutang’s “The Importance of Living”
you might just as well put it on your “must” list now (double-starred),
for those moments of catching-up which you are planning for Christmas
holidays. It is a book which you can read and put down and then read
again. If you are tired and weary from Pre-Holiday tests and papers the
philosophy of leisure and enjoyment of life which Mr. Yutang presents
will set the tone for your vacation pleasure.
Upswept hair is still with us. New York debutantes will have none
of it and it is said that the fashion is on the way out. Perhaps Orson
Welles’ statement in “Vogue” recently had something to do with it
(though all of us find it hard to believe completely anything presented
by Welles since the famous Mars attack of a few weeks back). He
says, however, “A woman with her hair combed up always looks as if
she were going aome place, either to the opera or to the shower bath —
depending on the woman.” Which should be a lesson to some of us
around the campus.

think she’s still more interested in
Funeral Homes, though . . . Martha
swears she didn’t have a single date
the whole time she was home. Are
you being subtle, Marthk? We know
that dajes are double . . . Have you
noticed the change that has come
over Snead lately? She’s been pin
