Most of these have part-time positions iri three of the leading downtown department stores. / * ■ -, Class Selected Class members are selected, by certain requirements of Miss Haynes, instructor in salesmanship. “I select them on the basis of what a store would require or its sales men and' women,” she explained. “Namely: neatness, a certain amount of good looks and scholarship. The school requires them to be over 16 and to have completed the English V course.” The class is limited to twenty and for that reason students must meet the store requirements, Miss Haynes sais .

Who Could Be Sad?

By Luedna McCloud Who could be sad these gloomy days, When the leaves are falling and the sky Is gray, And the days are short and the nights are long? God has set the whole world with light, Although these dark days don’t seem -tght,

And the whining wind sings Its lonely lays, Who could be sad those gloomy days?

Home

By Estherbelle Ruhsenberger A glow of soft rose color from the veiled lamps, A clock softly chiming the hour— Home. Dreamy music stealing through the room, Curling smoke from flickering ashes, • Home. Tranquil, I dream, half-asleep in a deep, soft chair, Warm and still— Home.

The Snowflakes

By Kathryn Goldman Did you ever stop to think Why the snowflakes come Down to us, the humans, From Heaven, their loved home? Some say that the angels Are playing with pillows up there, And one of the pillows burst And the flakes fall through the air. Falling very slowly, ' Creeping solemnly to earth, WheVe they know that they Soon will be greeted with mirth. They always make a very White and beautiful sight, Especially when they’re faUing Slowly l£. the night.
