Sonnet
Frances Lawson, ’33
So many things there are I do not know
About the subtle world I’m living in—
The insulating calm ne’er seemed so thin
Till piercing sorrow straight began to show
How freely useless tears, so big can flow.
How painful little words to hearts can be—
To hearts that seem wrapped in security.
Who makes the pain, in worlds and these
things, so?
And yet this world is still a kind old place;
Some men have felt all these, yet conquered
much.
And, too, I find smiles wreathed around
their faces:
They live beside me in this self-same world.
I, too, can live with smiles about me curled,
For then my aches and pains—I'll conquer
such!

What Eler Music Meant to Me
To Carol Blanton, ’33
By Ruby L. Flanagan, '36
Out of a past where Memory keeps
Her cherished things and weeps,
I list and hear when the grate is red
And phantom folk in the gloaming tread,
To the words her music said.
A pine tree lifts its branches high
In pleading to the sky,
The yellow blooms of the jassamine vine
Like lamps swing low and somehow twine
Her music in this heart of mine.
Her dainty fingers touched the keys.
Then the melody of things
Lute-like, most musical, most sweet
Beneath the pine tree seemed to meet;
There love's own harvest was complete.
At every note, the moonlight swayed
With every touch her fingers made.
Upon the keys old loves seemed wed,
As when one through a dream is led
By the words her music said.
The lute-like notes brought back again
White sprays of April rain:
As dew-wet lilacs scent the air—
Ah, once again she blessed them there
With music like a prayer.
Ivy Oration
(Continued from Page 11)
mourned over his fate, should he become
lost in the Atlantic fog?
There are all too many with this spirit
—the feeling that I can't do that, and even
if I did they wouldn’t give me due credit
any way. How do you know until you’ve
tried? All things considered, you can do
anything anyone else can do. Try the
world sometimes and see if it isn’t a pretty
just old place, after all. Presevere as
the ivy does, confidently, and staunchly.
And remember:
“If you think you're beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you’d like to win but think you can't,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
“If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out of thq world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.
"If you think you’re out-classed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise;
’t ou 've got to he sure of yourself before
^ ou can ever win a prize.
“Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.”
