Dear Santa Claus:
I am a handsome little boy with
curly hair and a smile for everyone.
I would like to have a pair of gum

a bid to the Canadian Club.
Yours for a pass in B T U,

A. AND M. COLLEGE WOMAN
WRITES POEM ON FLAG
The following poem was written
by Mrs. E. J. Fermiei’, the wife of
Professor E. J. Fermier, Head of the
Department of Mechanical Engineer
ing and Director of the Engineering
Experiment Station. Mrs. Fermier
is a graduate of Smith College and
has a number of poems to her credit.
This poem on the flag of the College
will appeal to every A. and M. Col
lege man not only because of the
literary merit of the poem, but be
cause of the sentimental attachment
that every student of this college
feels for the flag of his country that
waves daily above the trees and
buildings of our campus.
The Flag on the A. and M. Campus.
Oh children! When I
When sounds retreat,
stand,
I mind me of the man
look upon that flag,
d all attention
ty boys who stood
Athletic, handsome, glad and gay and free.
One other day in spring.
So young they were in youth’s high ecstacy I
Shall their proud passing leave no mark on
me ?
Oh children 1 When I look upon that flag
That floats upon the spring breeze joy
ously,
I mind me of the many boys who weep
Dragging their wounded length in agony
To die beneath its folds.
Can I go on each day in flippant ease
Conceited, careless, while die such as these?
Oh children I When I gaze upon that flag
That flies each day, where I may look,
and you,
I mind me of the people far away.
Exiled for some great duty to mankind
That they must surely do.
Have I no wish in all my worthless heart
In this great Plan of Life to have a part ?
Oh Flag! I will not greet thee day by day.
Blind to the blood and tears that made
thee great;
I will not live,^» lump of common clay,
stomach
With
plate
fed, and eye a glutton's
While others starve.
So many, nobler, purer far than I
Burrow like rats, to feed on grass and die.
Oh Flag! This is the Day, this is the Hour!
No other like to this was in all time.
When we, the sons of freedom have com
mand.
And stand erect before a waiting world,
A world that longs for light!
Oh grant us strength of heart, of soul, of
mind.
To “carry on”, for freedom and Mankind!
(Mrs. E. J. Fermier),
February 21, 1922.
