FOR YOU 0 ALMA MATER.
THE BLOOM OF LEMALON.
The man on the athletic field who bar
brought the greatest honor to himself and
hk school this year has been the one who
has fought because of a burning fire with-
in to trophies at the feet of his Alma
Mater. The debates that have been won
hare been won out of the depths of hearts
who longed not so much for personal
wreaths but for the name of Simmons Col
lege. Every honor in college life is en
nobled if behind it is an impetus inspired
by a devotion to ones own school. It is
a tender devotion inexplicable and sacred;
understood only in the hearts that fell
deepest and think strongest and who
possess a spirit that can worship.
All these thoughts come to us today as
wa part and go our myriad ways here
and there. All these principles surge in
a la the hour of saying goodbye. They
have challenged our best spirits during
the swathe aad bow. But what of to
morrow?
At yoa go Into he field though you
have biassed the years or year you passed
this way ia Simmons College shall you
forget that the test of your most intrinsic
devotion comes more when you are away
from Simmons than when you are be
aeath her shadow? As you spend the sum-
mer months as you live the coming years
let it be an impetus to you that back
there ia the years you loved Simmons Col
lege; because of that you want to win
life's trophy not only for yourself but for
Her who taught you your ideals fostered
you trained you cared for you.
Wherever you go do not darken the
name of Simmons College; raise it exalt
it aad bless it And there is no prophet
who can decree the Simmons College of
tomorrow if her sons and daughters rise
to her ideals live them spread them and
multiply them.
Do aet be afraid you will merge into
aeatimeatability by expressing your lovo
for your college; do not be afraid of prais
lag her tee much. True devotion is the
symbol of a great soul.
Repeat thoughtfully sincerily with me
that though time will dim your memory
ef Her and space will bear you far from
her you will be true and straight and
Her ideals will be your own.
"For you 0 Alma Mater!"
If we as a voice breathe say that line
live it truly and remember all the things
that it means the Simmons of tomorrow
shall become a silent benediction to the
great West for
"Her sons and daughters rise up and
called her blessed."
TESTS OF A SPORTSMAN.
Ten tests of a sportsman may be given as
follows:
1. He dpw not beast.
2. Nor qui
3. Nor make excuses when he fails.
4. Ho is a chewful loser.
5. And a quit winner.
6. He plays fair.
7. And aa well ae he can.
8. He enjoys the pleasures of risk.
9. He give hit opponent the benefit of
the doubt.
It.' And he values she game itself mora
highly than the resuk Herbert N. Carton.
Allow ao man to be so free with you
aa te praise yeu to your face. Your van
ky by tak means will warn its food. At
the same time your passion for esteem
wW be mere fully prat if led; men will
praise yeu la their actions where you now
receive one complaint you will then re-
ceive twenty civilities. Steele.

Girlie: f.Jfa might. Father' awfully
By Luther Kinard.
Who having abandoned himself to the
"visible forms of nature" has not found
peaccfulness and reassurance in her mys-
terious voice? Noone. And so we agree
with Mr. Bryant that she steals away "the
sharpness of our darker musings" ere we
are awake.
And in meditation upon the issues of
death one might well be resigned to the
aureness of physical death for we see in
all nature reasons of blossoms and
ripened fruit and those of decay. Thus
wc know that there must follow the health
and glow of this bodily animation an
hour of chilling blast but as with the
magnolia which beautiful blower withers
and passes away with winter to bloom
again from the newness of life in spring
so does the human soul pass off this stage
joy and "busy woe" to live again in tho
effulgence of Light and Joy Eternal or
sadder perhaps in unspeakable misery.
'Tis true: from the dust came these
visible forms and to the dust they must
return but "'twas not spoken of the
soul."
How prone indeed are we mortals to
set boundaries of distinction between poor
and rich good and bad; heathen and
learned; but Mr. Bryant is right in that
"one mighty sepulchre" wo become one
dust again and know no lines of sep-
aration until wo be called from that silent
sleep to appear before the Rewarder of
the good and the evil the rich and the
poor the heathen and the learned alike
according to their several merits or de-
merits. It seems quite true that they who pass
hence are soon forgot except perhaps to
those who knew their worth (and let us
know that each of us has a worth to
prove so let us mark well to prove it
true) but how ought we to truly rever
ence the dead both small and great and
to take from them the lessons they gave.
Their deeds their words should live in
our thinking and doing for as wc apply
the principles that have blessed or cursed
those who have departed so are wc blessed
or cursed for right is right still and
wrong is wrong "yesterday today and to-
morrow." So as we behold the hills the rocks
the valleys the stars sun and moon na-
tures monuments to that slumbering
"caravan of the dead" (as Mr. Bryant has
reminded us) let us stand in awe and
drink deep of those fathomless springs
that would remind us that soon we too
must join those who supply their flow;
and let us ask "to which waters of life
shall our memory in the hearts of others
contribute to the sweet or to the bit-
ter?" Yes one by one or perchance score
by score we must enter that hushed as-
sembly of the deceased. How step we?
in. fear or in hope? Let us for truth so
live so hope and so be faithful that
when we face that hour we too might
wrap the "draperies of our couch" about
us and "He down to plcascant dreams"
to awaken in their Reality
o
MIRAGE.
By Myrtle 0. Barber.
Between white sands and fiery stars in
the land of Lemalon
Where red waves fall along the wall of
the burning horizon
And the wind is sad and the moon grown
cold
The wind is wierd and the moon turned
wan
I heard the lips of a cactus bloom
The burning lips of a hectic bloom
Sigh this
In the land of Lemalon:
"My lips are hot!
Leave mc 0 moon 0 wind 0 rains;
I was kissed by a race in tho long ago
By a race with fire in his veins.
But the race lay dead when the moon
went down
On the sands of Lemalon
Lay dead at my feet in the fire of his
blood
At the coming of crimson dawn.
A fairer race has wooed mo
And lingered beside mc to rest
But the memory of the race of my youth
Is branded within my breast.
"Let tho hot winds sob when the moon
goes down
(Oh tho moon is passionless and cold 1 )
But the sun let it burn with its fervor
and death
And lure to death with its gold.
"For the noble blood of the red man
Was redder than the ardor of the sun
Let the sun burn on with its passion and
death
I'll live for the race that is gone;
For the race that I loved
In the land of this Lemalon."

Oldman: One should always practice
what ono preaches.
Newman: Yes; but often a man puts
in so much time preaching that ho has
none left for practice.

By Ulmer Bird.
On the never ending sky-line
When the day is still and fair
The artist paints with deftest touches
Wondrous pictures in the air.
Now a lake and in its border
Trees throw shadows deep and grand
While knee-deep in wondrous order
Cattle by the hundreds stand.
Lake or stream with woodland girded
Break the prairie's broad domain
Followed far and still retreating
Leave no mark upon the plain.
Weird delusion vision vanished
Beyond the reach of mortal ken.
Thus enchants the paths of men.
Call us always onward onward
By the things that seem to be
Hopes retreating staying fading
But the path leads nearer Thee.
NO ANSWER.
By Ulmer Bird.
What is there for me in the distance
On the trail to the range of the After-a-while?
As I ride through the days of the long
long journey
As I follow the trail for many a mile.
No answer comes out of the distance
The hour Is whist and the wind is still
But the call of a dove and its plaintive echo
From a little ravine at the foot of a hill.
No answer comes out of the distance
But the cricket's chirp and an owl's
lone call
And the silent touch of the silent Matter
Settles its calmnese over all.
No answer comes out of the distance
Time and the rider both move oa
Aad the tun goes on ia its tame old path-
way From the evening's calm to another dawn
