MORNING AND EVENING
Cary Robertson, ’24
I li)ve to ramble,
Blown by first whispers of awaking day.
When field and wood in solitude
Stir and relapse, uneasy for pertm*bing
light;
Wlien frosted white
Upstarts the clinging bramble,
Gold glows the sun, aflush from darkling
feud,
Lances his ray.
Or slow to wander,
Drinking the glory of the waning West,
While on its slopes kaleidoscopes
Play in the barbarous splashes artist Na
ture flings;
While windy wings,
Wai'm wafting from walls yonder,
Bring fragi'ance of the garden lielio-
tropes
Nodding to rest.
I love to live,
Breathing this sphere’s perfume, feasting
my eye
With every sight serene or bright
The splendour of His footstool offers for
our pleasure;
Yet in this leisure
I pray that God may give
Faith certain of the dawn; so with the
night
Gladly I’ll die.
FRESHMEN UNDERTAKE TO BEAU
TIFY CAMPUS.
Tlie energetic Freshmen, wishing to do
something different, and desiring to show
their devotion to Meredith, eagerly carried
out the jjlans of beautifying the campus
which was suggested by their sponsor. Miss
Campbell. The class was divided into
groups wlueh were assigned to work the va
rious flower beds.
Through the kindness of the Missionary
Societies of the First Baptist Church and
tlie Tabernacle church, the class obtained
a number of packages of seeds and plants.
Other seeds were bought with the pro
ceeds fi'om the sale of sandwiclies and
doughnuts sold in the college.
“Beautify the campus,” was the slogan
of the Freshman class, as with spades and
lioes, and wide-brimmed iiats they were
seen digging here and there over the cam
pus. Tiiere are now cai'efully laid out
beds around main Building, Faircloth, East
Building, and Myatt, North and Adams
Cottages. Wlien we return in the fall and
the various colored, sweet-scented flowers
greet us, we shall be glad that there was
one class of “blooming Freshmen.” This
custom, instituted by the class of ’24 will
be handed down each year to the incoming
Freshmen class.
Lawyers—So you want a divorce from
your wife. Aren’t your relations pleas
ant?
Client—Mine are, but iiers are the most
unpleasant lot I ever met.
We wish to apologize to Mrs. Orville
Overholt. In our paper last week we had
as a heading, “Mi's. Overholt’s big feet.”
The word we had ought to liave used is a
French word, pronounced the same way,
but spelled fete. It means a celebration
and is considered a very tony word.
Tommy had been playing truant from
school, and had spent a long, beautiful day
fishing. On his way back he met one of his
young cronies, who accosted him with the
usual question, “Catch anything?”
At this, Tommy, in all the consciousness
of guilt, quickly responded: ‘ ‘ Ain’t been
home yet.”
“Now, boys,” said the teacher in the
juvenile Sunday school class, “our lesson
,today teachcs us that if we are good while
here on earth, when we die we will go to a
place of everlasting bliss. But suppose we
are bad, then what will become of us?”
“We’ll go to a place of everlasting blis
ter,” promptly answered the small boy at
the pedal e.\tremity of-the class.
Extinct Species—“No workers are call

Too Late.—“I don’t like tliesc photos at

The photographer favored him with a
glance of lofty disdain.
