lys It is evident from the results of the library test
;he held in December that most of the students think
of that it is too much trouble to find out how to use the
he library. As it is one of the most important phases of
I a any school, students must know how to use the
ler libraiy properly. The girls who failed the test,
lot therefore, will be given additional lectures and tests,
it? Since the grades from the library test influence the
final English grades, it is expedient that every girl
in the group of more than a hundred who failed be
gin to study. Virginia Allison, who answered the
test perfectly, and others who passed are to be con
gratulated.

V'ALENTINE 1938
Be still, my beating heart, be still,
I must conceal this eagerness.
Let him remember, if he will
The day for tender messages.
I’ll hold my tongue. It is not meet
To hint that I should like some sign
{Not necessarily discreet)
That I’m elected Valentine.
Forget-me-nots would strike a note
Emotionally eloquent
While sweetheart roses fairly float
Upon a sea of sentiment.
If he should favor me with such
An old-world vegetable plate.
It would delight me very much. . . .
Though 1 might think him out of date.
But should my dream man simply say',
“I love you,” that would be
A most ingratiating way
To celebrate, it seems to me.
Let him use words, or flowers, or wine
To vow he’s lost both heart and head.
If he’ll but name me Valentine,
And not some other wench instead!
Maeoaret Fishback.
