Like Poetry? j LOVING A SOLDIER J^oving a soldier is not all play. In fact, there is very little of it gay. it’s mostly having, but not to hold; f t’s being young and feeling old. t’s getting a Valentine from a south- 1 ern camp And sending a letter with an invert ed stamp. it’s hearing him whisper his love for you -And your answering whisper that you love him, too— .And then comes the ring, a promise •. of love, jfVnd knowing you’re watched by the Father above; And waving good-bye to him at the train 'And wond’ring if you’ll ever see him again. And reluctantly, painfully letting him go When inside you’re crying for want ing him so. Then you watch for a word that’ll tell he’s Avell And wait through a long dragged- out no-letter spell. And your feet are planted on lonely sod And sources of strength come solely from God. Loving a soldier is undefined fears And crying until there are no more tears. And hating the world and yourself and the war And stamping, kicking ’til you can’t fight anymore; And then reverently kneeling and praying And really meaning the prayer you are saying. Ho, Loving a soldier is not really fun; Hut, it’s worth the price when the battle is won. —Anonymous. ^ L A M P U ^ Jack Stoughton will be twelve years old on October lo. ^ Mrs. Edward G.

First Girl Break This Fall Successful It Avas Saturday night—voices (male and female) and music (boogie and sentimental) could mean but one thing—the girl-break—and it Avas off to a glorious beginning. Immediately upon entering each girl initiated her platform of persuasion to the “hag line.” “Cokes” AA^ere sold during the eA’ening (as yet no decision has been made concerning A\diat to do Avith the proceeds) to those Avhose dates were neglected long enough to become thoughtful. The leAv couples Avho jitterbugged really took the floor Avliile the less talented only stood around and stared. No doubt some reminiscing Avas done under the spell created by the sentimental music of ShaAv’s clarinet, Dorsey’s trombone, and James’ trumpet. But since “tempus fugit” and the lights had to go out the first girl- break of the season ended as a IioavI- ing success. A New Girl Looks At The New Girl Old Girl Party When Mrs. Cruikshank says Ave are “nice looking” that’s something; so perhaps our efforts for the Old Girl-NeAV Girl jAarty Averen’t alto gether in A^ain. It did seem strange though to put on our long dresses and party faces for the same people Ave see every day, but being meek and loAvly “ncAv girls” Ave obeyed Avithout question. When our “big sisters” came by for us, it seemed almost like a date—Avithout one all- important item—and then Ave stood in the hall, just Avaiting. It Avas quite a treat to see the difference long skirts and flowers can make. If you hadn’t met CA-eryone be fore, there Avas ample time A\-hile Avaiting to learn even their life his tory. Finally though Ave could see Sailie Robertson looking A’ery calm and sedate and Ave kneAv it must be either the end of the Avorld or the beginning of the receiving line. After Sailie came Mrs. Cruikshank, Avho made us all feel at home, then Kate Broadfoot, and after that the faculty in so many numbers, shapes, and sizes that Ave have only a A'ague memory of handshakes, names, and smiles. We do remember the smiles though—they Avere friendly. The line did have an end, and when Ave had arranged ourselves on the couches and floor, Sailie an nounced the entertainment. Mary Billings played the piano selections Sonata hy Haydn and Spanish Dance hy Granado. She Avas fol- loAved by GAven Hughes Avho sang -4 Negro Spiritual and At Parting AAUth Chloe as her encore. Last but not least Avas Estelle Boyce, Avho touched the sentimental side of everyone by playing Star Dust, Deep Purple, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and her encore. Begin the Beguine. After the program, punch Avas serv ed, ending the evening just right and Ave neAv girls Avent to our rooms feeling that Ave were a part of Saint Mary’s.
