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.
