After slipping and ~sliding for
abou. two.days on all, that ice, I sit
down at my desk to ponder qver
the weather and Wonder whether
all of March will be this way. Last
week, I was in g good humor (because I had another birthday).-So
in celebrating my birthday, which
Was March 10; I trudged over to
the League for Better Relations
party, which was held at the home
of Mr. Leonard H. Troutman on

~It really was a ~rick~ affair, and
the ji:terbugs just ~broke it up.~

Charlie Siebert, just Lambe:

go to town. Among the other present, I saw Mrs. Susie Brooks, Jr.
Levonja Troutman, ~who also
breaks it up,~ Mozeli Crawford,

boys were Gordon Nolan, Levi Rogers, Willie Mitchell, Benny Boyer,
Elijah Davis, Robert Davis, Lou
Beatty, Frank Troutman, Johnny
Franklin and club ~members:
Shirley Batchelor, Hiram Crawford, William -Brooks, Jr. The
League. for Better Relations can
write this party down as another
successful affair.

FAREWELL TO WAR
By James Murphy, Jr.
Tt may be you or I

Who fall beneath the gun~s loud

roar,

While fighting over seas or home,

~For something that is merely use
less,

This we know of past gone Wars
So why waste cur sons on useless
quarreis?

We hail ourselves~ the victors,
But neither sides he comquerors,
For they both. find themselves. subdued

Ti some great-or minor way
The deaths mount high, and the

~. Sorrow too,

After the harm is done we stop and
think

Why didn~t we heed before
fought

Then all this wouldn~t have cccurred

But then it is too late for lementing
For the battle has been fought,

So let us plant in our hearts stout
and true

These words and say them often,
~Parewell to War, with all its hor.
Fors;

We'll have no more blood sheg and
useless deaths,

From this day forth peace
happiness is ours,

And there will be no more sadness
of tomorrow.
