A "CLIMAXATED" EVENING.
On the evening of October the sixth, we men arrived at Miss Tall's at eight-fifteen.
We announced our arrival by a lusty cheer at the front steps. Miss Tall greeted each of us with a glori- ons hand-shake, and seated us in the parlor. We talked and told jokes till Miss McEachern arrived. Then we sang several peppy songs.
Miss Tall suggested a discussion of social activities for the men stu- dents The discussion resulted in plans for a pleasant year.
The refreshments were the climax of the evening. We had hot dogs. They were big, long, fat, wide ones too-the juicy, goody goody kind. We sang a few more songs and then bade Miss Tall goodnight. It
was a memorable occasion .- Roger E Fogle, Jr. 6.

OUR LOVELY TREES AND SHRUBS.
Foremost among the many things around our school buildings to make one hundred eighty
acres more attractive are the many trees and shrubs.
All together, we have about two hundred trees of various kinds. The Silver, Hard and Norway Maples, the American and Slippery Elm, the Tulip Tree, Sycamore, White Pine, Catalpa, Copper Beech, Carolina and Lombardy Poplar, Wild Cherry, White Birch, Box Elder, Hem- lock, Locust, Dogwood, Oak, Mag- nolia, Mahogany, Weeping Wil- low, American Linden, Basswood and several imported trees, such as the Gingko or Maiden Hair, imported
from Japan.
When passing our campus on York Road you can see that our landscape gardener must have taken great care in arranging the trees so as to make our grounds as attractive as possible.
Along the front of the north cam- pus he has placed silver maples, and in each front corner one big oak, two spruce pines, and one white pine. The center campus in front of our Newell and Richmond Halls is equally, if not more, attractive than the north campus. Here, along with the different trees, are the barberry bushes with their berries which stay red all year.
The campus in front of the Admin - istration Building has few trees, but many ornamental shrubs, including more barberry bushes, bridal wreath, tulip trees and forsythia or yellow bells.
The entire campus is bordered along the front with a hedge.
If all our trees were to be put in a grove allowing five square feet to each tree and bush, it would be found that the grove would cover approxi- mately one-half an acre.
To catch one passing glimpse of our campus with its many beautiful trees will remind one of the poem by Joyce Kilmer:
I think that I shall never see
A poem lonely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet breast.
flowing
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A veil of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain,
Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But ouly God can make a tree. Emily Lawson, Class of '26.
REVIEW OF "THE BLUE WIN- DOW" BY TEMPLE BAILEY.
All those who have never read "The Blue Window"
by Temple Bailey, have missed something, the loss of which they wish to make up, I am sure. "The Blue Window" is particularly interesting to all Mary- landers, because it is a Maryland story about Maryland people.
The world, to Hildegarde, was only the tiny farm where she lived with her two aunts.
In the ordinary course of events, she would have married Crispin Harlowe, her boy lover, who was now away at college, but Hildegarde's mother died, leav- ing her a letter. From it, Hilde- garde learned that her father was not dead, as she had been told. In- stead, her mother had left him, and had never told him of Hildegerde's birth; Now Hildegarde was to go to him and take her place in the home.
Alone, she made the long trip to Maryland, and found a welcome in Louis Carew's home, a home such as Hildegarde had never known; the careless luxury, the life for pleasure alone, struck a responsive chord in her soul. After all, she was the child of Louis Carew.
Hildegarde's father's friend and secretary, Meriweather, was at her feet, and Hildegarde, not knowing that her best friend, Sally Hulbert, loved him with all her heart, was taking his attention for granted. In despair, Sally engaged herself to Neale Winslow, a wealthy and un- scrupulous politician, whom Carew was introducing in society for a price.

One extra large maple soldier buzzed through the air and shouted to the troops left on the tree: "We are sailing over the fields today and are going to camp where we think we can take root.

"THE STRUGGLE OF TASSO."
"Come into my parlor," said the spider to the fly;
"I've the prettiest little parlor you ever did spy."
The dying sun
was beaming through the trunk room window and as I watched its mysterious rays playing on an old box half hidden in a corner I perceived a strange battle; a battle not of armies, not of gladi- ators, nor wild beasts of prey, but between two unequally matched op- ponents. Lolo, the spider, dressed in his coat of armor, velvet green, trimmed in brass buttons, with arms and legs extending neearly an inch each way, was strenuously maneuver- ing, both mentally and physically, to trap "Tasso," a normal-sized fly.
Tasso, whose appetite had not re- cently been satisfied, was striving in vain to reach a delicious crumb of sugar-coated cookie that hung in Lolo's well fortified fort. Each
time Tasso's feet became entangled in the enemy's net she brushed her- self violently with her bronze wings and each time became buried more deeply. For a full five minutes the battle between Tasso and Lolo's care- fully prepared web.
Suddenly the web gave way and Tasso fell, down, down, down, and swift as a streak of lightning Lolo Jumped and I closed my eyes to wipe out the horrible vision.
The sun sank in the West, and I alone stood witness to the tragic death of Tasso. Seated in a charlot of silver threads and drawn by Lolo himself, I watched Tasso ascend into Lobo's own parlor. At the last throne was reached and victor Tasso fell gasping on his cushion, not from physical exertion, but from mental anxiety. Thus ended the struggle of Tasso.

paper dolls were hidden. The ground under the spreading branches lay covered with the little nut cups and saucers.
Alice sat on the ground and gathered the acorns as fast as she could. The woods grew darker and darker. Rover rubbed against his little mistress and whined impa-
In a few minutes the basket was full, but oh, the woods was so dark! Every tree which a few hours ago had been so glorious, now took the shape of a giant ghost in the mind of the frightened child, and worried Rover.
Alice looked all around her, but could not see the edge of the woods. She had never been lost before, and she knew her mother would be wor- ried. Alice began to cry and Rover licked her hand sympathetically. On and on they wandered through the forest, but they seemed to be going in a circle, and only felt more tired and terrified. She at last lay down on a bed of leaves and sobbed her- self to sleep. Rover sat by her side and watched.
Suddenly Rover gave a very shrill
child. Alice sat up and rubhed her eyes. She could not think where she was, it was so dark and she felt so cold. She turned her head in the direction in which Rover was look- ing, and what did she see? She saw a man carrying a lantern, whom she knew to be her father, and her brother Bobhy was with him.
A chill wind blew through the for- est and the trees shed their first few glorious red and yellow leaves. The sun shone brightly in the blue after- noon sky and turned the woods into ) a many-colored wonderland.

JUNIOR MOTHERS' WEEK-END.
Oftimes we sit down to write with our minds filled with learned words and phrases, intending to compose some article that will display our learning and meet with approbation. Surely no Junior could begin with such intentions if the mothers' week- end visit was his topic. Joyful at having our mothers with us and hav- ing been able to show them all that goes into making the pleasant en- vironment in which we spend our days we write with hearts filled with gratitude to all those who made it possible for us to have our mothers here ..
How many times have we endeav- ored, and alas, in vain, to describe some beautiful spot around the cam- pus. a pretty room, the foyer where we dance, or perhaps Richmond Hall parlor, where we gather for more quiet pastimes such as reading or cards At other times we may have mentioned some person, a new made friend, a classmate or a member of the faculty, and wished that our mothers might
have seen them. There are endless times that we long for them to be with us that they might enjoy our good times too.
No doubt, many times has some mother lain awake wondering how May or Ruth was coming along at Normal. Is her room nice, is she warm enongh. does she have enough to eat, has she nice friends is she happy? We all know they think of
Now all that worrying is over, or should be, because I know they were all favorably impressed. Two days never flew hy so swiftly and happily for mothers and daughters, and nei- ther will forget it soon.
This discussion of the week-end ends weakly, but perhaps you all are beginning to understand that it is an attempt to express our deep appreci- ation for the hospitality and gra- ciousness of our generous hostesses. Marion Lodge Medinger, Jr. 14.
