S' — --—. ... jg Lyric Rainbow Edited by Walter Evans Kidd THE ROCKING HORSE ROAD Philippa Sherman, ’26 Surcease Autumn tints tree tresses bright blond and titian . . . The wind grabs at them running long-grey-fingers through their tossing hair . . . pulling out great handsful at every stroke, and scattering them until there are none-at-all . . . Then Winter comes with fuzzy, white toupees to cover up their baldness. * # # * Sunshine God takes a round cake of soap from the cupboard-behind the-hills to wash away the cobwebs of night. and the star-dust ... He wipes it across the sky until it is shining, clean with bright soapsuds, (and some of the drops drip and spatter down to earth But No sooner does He finish and slip the soap back onto the shelf than the cobwebs and dust appear again. Lawn Tale The hose is a long snake, Milk-white, Green-banded . . . It crawls across the lawn to sun itself, wriggling and twisting in long curves, hissing and spitting at the robins that hop about it, reaching out bright fangs to touch the sweetness of the lilac bushes, and slinking away at night to coil itself in the long grass beside the tool-house. Lazy Moon The Moon climbs up The high sky stairs Each night, But never says his prayers. He crawls in bed In &uch disgrace He never Stops to wash his face. He yawns, and with A sleepy grin, He pulls The cloud quilts round his chin. He hates fresh air— It’s little wonder He often Puts his whole face under. He’ll roll and toss, And won’t lie still, He kicks The cloud quilts off until He’s all uncovered, Lying there Where all Can see—he doesn’t care. He sleeps like that The whole night through, And then, (You may not think it true,) I’m up and had My breakfast tray, And gone Into the yard to play, He’s hiding still, The_ sleepy head, In one Far corner of his bed! * * * * Star Gardener If I could find a growing charm To sprinkle on our jasmine vine I’d ;nake its star-flowers reach the sky, Where they could1 blQssom there, ahd shine. If I could grow so tall that I Could pluck the stars in bushels bright I’d plant them in our pool, for there They try to blossom every night. New Equipment Will Fill Required Quota 0 - About 100 rifles have been or dered from the B. O. T. C. store room by Captain Frank L. Culin, executive officer of the department, ' to bring the rifle equipment of the squad rooms up to the full quota, in preparation for the weekly drill ! parades, which will begin Thurs | day afternoon, April 23. “These rifles, held in reserve in the department store room, are ; packed in boxes of 10 each, and are coated with heavy cosmoline ■ oil, a preventative from dust and rusting. The rifles must be un packed, cleaned and carefully in : spected before being put into ser i vice,” states Seargeant T. R. ■ Powers, of the R. O. T. C. commis | sary department. ■ At present there are four squad | rooms, each of which is occupied by two companies. Previously the I rifles in room 2, occupied by C and | D companies, were used to supply j deficiencies in other squad rooms, l but by the provisions of the new ; order all squad rooms will be fully | equipped as follows: Boom 1, oc ] cupied by A and B companies, will have 124 rifles; room 2, C and D . companies, 120 rifles; room 5, E ; and F companies, 130 rifles, and | room 6, G and H companies, 150 , rifles. Heretofore the companies have been turning out separately, but 1 beginning April 23, weekly battal j ion parades will be held every j Thursday afternoon, from 5 to 6 . p. m., until May 28. The entire : unit of eight companies will par j ticipate in the parades, as will the (band. Ceremonial parades, battal j ion reviews, etc., will be held.. All cadets will be required to turn out j in full uniform. j Participation in these parade j drills will take the place of regular work after .Tune 1. Regular classes and drill will terminate on May 29, instead of June 12, as was for merly the case. Vocation Choice Is Topic Of Women at Convention; Dean Jameson Speaks (Continued -from page one) all actual work is done by student committees. Club women pay ex penses of delegates to the place where the convention is held, and I so far it has been quite successful. I Mary Jo Stockton, the Montana delegate, brought out the fact that there are two different subjects considered at the congress; inspira tional matters and vocations for women. Minnesota, represented by Ade laide Stauhang, has not found the plan of a vocational conference very successful, and only a very small per cent of the university wo men attend. Michigan, on the con trary, has had good results, and is now working toward the idea of a bureau where all the girls can register, giving their vocation. The Souths-. n Branch of the Univer sity of California has inaugurated i vocational assemblies as a means of helping the girls Prominent women have spoken to the students, and it has been found very help ful. A paper written by Frances Simpson, president of Mortar Board at the University of Oregon, was presented by Edwina Richen, local senior representative to the conference. It dealt with vocation al guidance through the honor group, explaining a questionnaire system used. “We must fit our occupations and activities to the world in which we live,” said Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, in opening the discussion on “Extra Curricular Activities,” during the morning session. “We must discard and adapt when neces sary,” she continued, “but all that is trivial and useless must be left out. One comes to college to learn how to do new things, and it is necessary that we manage the num erous activities so that the great est good will be received from them.” Gertrude Turner, vice-president j of the University of California j student body, and representative of that school at the conference, spoke on the simplification of ac tivities, point system, and honor; societies; and Louise Vandervroot, j delegate from the University of Ill inois, presented a talk on the group I system used at that institution. I Miss Turner explained that many ; of the numerous clubs and organi-' zations found on a college campus' are not necessary to the welfare of the school, and often conflict. Some organized bodies do such com plete and efficient work that the members have no time to enter in to any other line of activity, and other associations do individual! work that would have a great deal more weight with the students, if the small groups were organized. j On the Stanford campus, it was j pointed out, about twelvo senior j women are chosen each year to live j in the dormitory with the entering \ girls, to act as their advisers. An j appointment to this position is con- j sidered the greatest honor that can I be given to a senior woman, and it is made regardless of sorority af-1 filiations, so that the system helps to unify the campus and to start J the freshman girls on the right path of their college career. “It is the biggest thing that has happened at i Stanford this year.” said Miss Caroline Strous, representative. j Miss Adelaide Stauhang, delegate from the University of Minnesota, presented the idea of scholarship standards necessary to participate in activities, and explained its hon or system. Many new and con flicting ideas regarding the honor code came up for consideration during the discussion of this topic. Minnesota has the quality credit system, more credits being given for higher grades. The University of California is trying to extend its honor system beyond examinations, to include everything. At "Washington, it has been found better to report classes for cheating, instead of individuals. They are tried, and if found guilty, placed under the jurisdiction of the faculty. The necessity of a uniform name for the association was brought up in the morning session, and after a discussion referred to the con stitution committee. It was de cided that in the matter of offi cers, the hostess college for the ensuing year should elect the presi dent and secretary-treasurer. The date of next year’s conference was set for the third week in April, and will be held at University of California, Southern Branch. Friday, a question box will be opened, each question having on it the name of the college that is to answer it. 0i3JEMSI3JSJHISI5EISI5J5ISJSI3IS]SJSlSfBJ /"'■AN YOU conscientiously boast a proficiency in the latest steps when your j shoes look like they had just | been sandpapered? — Let | “Shine ’Em Up” put on the proper glitter—15c. j ISJSM3JSJcHSM3J3J5J5J3/5J5JSI2JSJ3J3J3J “SHINE ’EM UP” j' in front bf j Jim the Shoe Doctor I PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS INSIST ON A PURE MILK SUPPLY j Try our perfectly pasteurized milk and cream.
