December, this, year's, has commenced.
Windows with icy beads condensed
'Lend to us their frosty light
As we view each and every snowy night,
Prom there, upon our lofty solitary mount
We'll dream where last fall worked the fervid catamount
Our thoughts fresh and rushing* as that icy brook
Will write new chapters in life's greatest book.
By the hearth, in warm embracing company
We cradle close within, our hearts nature's pure serenity.
How soft ancl gently falls each downy flake
How calm and tranquil lies the crystal lake.
These lovely peaceful scenes transcend our dream
And here and there whispers some symphonic themo ■
As near, does pass the kind caressing- wind
And there in the wood, a graceful bough does bend, !

bringing you good
wishes galore I

Obstacles Met by A Foreign Student
U By JOSE VIR1ZI
t-,. -
;,A foreign student must cross
[many .barriers ill order to receive
an education in an alien country.
To cross these obstacles, he must
have an abundance of initiative
and patience,,' both of which grow
weak at times. The desire for a
g-ood education is the motivating
force which, causes a foreign stu-
dent to face1 these obstacles, and
by facing' them, ho is able to dis-
cover a solution to them. Others
can' help him overcome these ob-
stacles, or they can be a liiii-
dei'ence.
The language barrier is the
hardest obstacle which the stu-
dent must face. Languages vary
so greatly in sentence structure
that the student's own language
can become an obstacle, and this
can, cause confusion in b.oth lang-
uages. The student finds it dif-
ficult to pronounce his words, pro-
perly." His poor pronunciation
makes it difficult for others, to
comprehend his speech, and this
causes, the. student to feel inferior.
Customs also prove to be an
obstacle to the foreign student.
Each country has different ideas
Wishes the Tarleton Texans a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New

on dating, clothing, and manners,
and the student quite! often finds
himself in embarrassing situa-
tions. These situations which, em-
barrass the student might not af-
fect him, if the natives would not
laugh at his mistakes. The; ob-
stacles of customs can be over-
come with the assistance of newly
found friends who take an inter-
est in the foreign student, but the
student can also be hindered by
narrow-minded people.
The foreign student could easily
return to his own country when
these obstacles arise; howeiver, he
would rather meet the challenge.
A great deal of his happiness and
success depends upon the attitude
of others. Once he is accepted as
one of the group, he is able to
face the daily situations. Gradu-
ally the student becomes accus-
tomed • to his new environment
and each now obstacle becomes
easier than the last.

Pregnant phrase
And poignant praise, j
Ah yes! all these |
The dead will raise!
Though buried long,
Though buried deep,
These wards shall rear
Them from their sleep!

By CHRIS BEUTELMAN
A thing of death it was
As any man could see; ;
And to my growing horror : >
It was coming after me. j > ; <
It chased me in the graveyard, < i
Amidst each dusty tomb;. >
To die among those already dead j i
Was now to be my doom. 1 !
I cringed in fear as it approached,
But no escape for me;
For that hideous mass that came so close
Was my own inhumanity.
It was a chain of horrors ; i '
That I had forged in life; ,
It was the unholy partner
That I had made my wife. > :
My prejudice, fear, hypocrisy,
Had now at last caught up with me;
I wished that I could've changed my fate,
James
By FLORA V. IIORTON
His life was like a flaming star, j
Lighting our lives for one brief hour.
He was a rebel, a little aloof,
Yet the many friends he had are proof
Of his ability to find friendship.
He acted as if he didn't care a flip
About society, defying the world.
Ho tarried his rebellion like a flag- unfurned,
Proud to be different, to not conform.
People who saw him would often form
A bad opinion of his sloppy clothes, uncombed hair,
But they had to admit he had the flair
To project an image on the movie screen
Bettor thaji anyone they had ever seen.
Now his voice is silent, thai; once, was so tender,
But his spirit remaihs like'a, glowing ember.
