THE CAMPUS MIRROR

WALKING
"I'm tramping, tramping, trying to make a
numeral my own." This is what you would most
likely receive as an answer if you should ask
ONE of the many walkers, who GOES around
the campus daily, “Why?”
Only a few weeks ago, this was considered a
punishment inflicted by the Physical Educa
tion teachers for the loss of keys, for class
cuts, etc. But since some found joy in it the
physical education department offered a nu
meral to those who would walk one hundred
miles between April 2 and May 15. The center
campus is one third of a mile in circumference.
Early one morning Miss Read, rather aston
ished, asked of one pilgrim, “My dear, have
you been walking all night? Why, when I went
in last night you were walking, and I see you
walking the first thing this morning.”
Well, it hasn’t reached that limit yet. No
one seems to object to the plan! The walkers
are very enthusiastic over it. The results have
been quite favorable. One young lady (who
used to worry about being overweight) has lost
her excess pounds. On the other hand Miss
excited everyone in the hospital, when
'he screamed with joy the other morning:
“Look, Look! I’ve gained six pounds since
I started walking, and I’ve been walking only
two weeks.”
An old adage says, “Any rule that works
Ixith ways is good."

THE GLEE CLUB
By Florence N. Jones
The art expressed in the music given by
the Girls’ Glee Club during this college year,
both on the campus and in the city, is great
ly appreciated. The club is a better sing
ing group than any the college has had.
This attainment can not be attributed to
the greater number of voices, for the num
ber is smaller than ever before. The good
music is attributed to the better quality of
voices.

WE THANK THEE
By Julia Pate, '29
We thank thee, Spring—
For new and soft cool soothing green
Which carpets earth and gowns each tree and
bush,
And makes a lovely background for the scene
Of pretty flowers that broke the winter hush;
For little busy buzzing bees
Who go on constant visits day by day
| To blossoms bright of shrubs and trees
| And make their work an art of joyful play;
For thrilling music of sweet-throated birds
l Whose earl}’ morning songs of mirth and glee
Will help us keep high merriment in words
And spend the balmy days more cheerfully.
WELCOME, SPRING
By Sadie Brown, '29
() come, young Friend, let us enjoy the mirth.
Thou season which calls forth gay youth anew,
For which man is as grateful as for birth;
Thou givest each the calmness, beauty, joy
j Revealed by nature everywhere on earth.
1 he flowers put on their colors new and bright;
The grass is showing softest hues of green;
And nature everywhere is robed in light.
\\ ee insects, busy with their work, are heard;
The whole wide earth resounds with God's great
might.
Again we joy as birds in flying thrill
And drink the beauteous azure of the skies
In thankfulness to God’s most gracious will.
Time now has called the Winter's work well
done.
So welcome, Spring, to valley, mount, and hill.
