Jennie's Calendar, 1917

Deep in my heart a spirit dwells     That cheers me on my way: His laughing face and merry spells enliven     all my day. His hopeful smile, his happy thought,     His mien so full of fun All care and worry put to rout as clouds     before the sun. Oh, little guest, I prithee hold     Thy kingdom strong for truth, Thou treasure richer far than gold,     The Spirit of My Youth!

R. C. Phillips. '18
