bat nevertheless, they soon caught on
and thoroughly enjoyed it Mem
bers of the faculty and students were
very kind in explaining the points of
the game. An ideal day and an ideal
spot blended with a happy crowd of
stadents, making the occasion a very
pleasant' one. '* _
At eix o'clock the guests were in
vited into the dining hall where a for

courses. Immediately after dinner a
program was given in the new college
auditorium. The program consisted
of violin fi*^ vocal selections, togeth
er with humorous readings, the last
number on the program was a comic
dramatisation of a vary beautiful
poem. This furnished more fan and
merriment than anything alas.
At the dose of the program the
guests were shown over the college,
and entertained in the college parlor
till the stroke of nine when all very
reluctantly departed, leaving behind
some new friends whom they so
much admired, and taking with them
memories of s very happy occasion,
and longings for another invitation

MUSINGS J
K ______
The moon rose o'?r the distent hills
And shone upon the wood;
Its silvery beams fell through the
trues I
That thick around us stood.
The peaceful twilight hour had fled,
Its purple end Ha gold
Had melted Idto silvery sheen
And covered ell the fold.
The sepbyrs sighed through leafy
bearers ^ ?
And fanned my heated brow;
Ho song of bird upon the air
Disturbed the quiet hour.
I eat end mused upon the Past
Whan aB of life was gay,
And musing that of mother deer
3# many mflae ewey.
And wondered when the war would
And all the strife be o'er;
And when Columbia's brarset eons
Again should touch her tooro;
When ell her gallant sailer lads
Who sail from sea to *ea .
Bach to his native lend shell apeed.
Once mere at home to be.
The moon torn higher in toe Heavens
Aad sent fprto floods of Uglft..
The earth end sky (it seemed to me)
Wtre never half so bright.
And out upon the flriqg line
Where'er the soldiers ge
its beams of silver fell around
Alike on friend end fee.
And as I sat and mused I thought
Of what this war would moan
! And Liberty not fall;
{ And then my thoughts so quickly (lei
To hsr so tar way
Who smiles and patiently awaits
The coming peaceful day.
When wan shall cease and strife b
o'er
And troubles all shall end;
When loved ones lately torn apart
At last shall meet again.
If God shall let me see It through
And bring me home unscarred
You'll see me as you saw me last
With character unmarred.
But if upon some fatal field
I Ue beneath the dew,
You'll know that one poor soldier bo;
Was to his country true.
And fair Columbia, native land.
Supreme in song and story,
This soldier boy in his last fight
Will give these added glory.
MUSINGS?1S23
(Five Year* Later)
Behold what chants do we see?
The war has long been o'er
The ships in safety sail the main
Connecting shore to shore.
The soldiers and the sailors too
Have all come home to stay.
Heroic deeds are all forgot
Since money now holds sway.
The heroes of the days of war,
The wounded and the lame
Are all forgot, their deeds unsung,
Their name unknown to fame.
They risked their fives; some gave
their all,
With never moan nor sigh,
With bravery did they fight the foe,
With valor did they die.
The peace for which they fought so
hard.
The League for which some died,
Have both been roughly cast away
And promises belied., . ..
No honors for the soldier lad,
Nor bonnie sailor boy;
No thanks expressed for what they
did,
No evidence of Joy.
The world hae long forgot the price
Her million sons have paid,
rhe dawn of peace, the end of strife
Is even yet delayed,
rhe cause for which men fought and
died ?
>n land, in air, on
b seldom heard, the world once more
b wrapped in jealousy.
[n rain were all this sacrifice
In vain that these should die,
[f nations still their trust betray,
tbeir promises belie.
America, come take your stand,
And end distress and pain,
Jhow to the world your gallant dead
lave not all died in rain.
But let their noble deeds be sun*
En Terse, in sons, in story,
rhy soldier boys and sailors lads
lave corered thee with glory.
