‘Twas the Night Before Finals

National Poetry Month may be over, but as we said, poetry is everywhere, even when you’re not looking for it!

While searching the student newspapers for information about how students handled finals week in the past, we came upon the poem below. So apparently, one way to get through finals was to take a break with a little creativity and write a poem!

From The Westerner, May 1960

Fortunately for this student, the only distraction was the television screen. Wonder how they would have fared with all of the screens and information and distractions we face now!
