SENIOR POEM
Out of thy halls, Nebraska,
Out of thy walls of grey.
From classroom and laboratory,
Into the heart of May.
We have come for a day, our mother,
To pledge thee our faith anew;
We have come for a day, to render
The love that we bear to you.
And our hearts are full of the tribute
That faltering lips would pay.
But our hands bear only a symbol
Only an ivy spray.
t
Green for a hope undaunted.
Green for courageous truth.
Green for the joy of being,
Green for eternal youth.
And green for the living token
That each of us bears away,
For deep in the soil within us
Is planted thine ivy spray.
In the hearts of men and women
Its shimmering leaves unfold.
And every insistent tendril
Shall strengthen its slender hold
Till over the world's broad archways
The seer of things unseen
Shall find It In shining beauty.
A mantle of living green.

I
For the lives by thee awakened
Go forward to build and sow,
And the Ivy which thou hast planteJ
Shall never cease to grow.

"If I Were King" Presented
Tuesday Evening Before
Capacity House.
Eleanore Fogg, Melba Bradshaw
and Carlisle Jones in.
Important Roles.
One of the most picturesque and
ambitious plays ever attempted by a
Senior class was presented Tuesday
night in the High School Auditorium,
"If I Were King," by Justin McCart
ley, an idealistic tale of old France
with its courtiers, fair ladies with
trains, poetry, tavern brawls and shin
ing armor was given by a Senior cast
before a thousand people. Gorgeous
theatrical costumes coupled with the
sincere work of the "principals" and
the even more interesting "mob" made
it. a successful production.
The story centers around "Francois
Villon," the impetuous poet, who
sings his way into the favor of the
King by telling what he would do "if
Villon were King of France." Her
man Thomas, carrying the burden of
the play, made an intensely human
rhymster and swung the play along
with a sincerity and dash that, was
remarkable.
Eleanore Fogg played the "Fair
Katharine," with graceful poise and
assurance; Melba Bradshaw was such
a convincing high-spirited "Huguette"
that the audience hated to see her
die, though she did that even better
than she lived. Four years of stage
experience with the University Play
ers are responsible for the .dramatic
strength of Carlisle Jones' work as the
crafty "Louis XI."
