THE SA « There has never been before A class like that of forty-four. Our lessons we complained about. And left our classes with a pout. Beatrice Guptill Now that school is ending, And graduation’s drawing near. We pause to think of its meaning And the outcome of the year. It’s hard to leave our schoolmates And the teachers we have known, Hut now we'll do our duty To pay for interest they have shown. Jean Gay For a young fellow named “Haves” You always will have to wait. Okay in all other ways. Hut always a half hour late. William (’yrs GAGE VILLE—fc MILES There was a young fellow named Gray; He met a young girl named Gay. He has a long walk. Hut lie doesn't talk; He’ll do it any old day. Thomas Kiniry SUMMER The buds are on the trees. The grass is getting green. And even all around us Signs of summer we have seen. The snow that kept us shivering Has left for another year. And now we all rejoice, For summer’ll soon be here. Francis Coffey Happy, happy, happy day. When school gets out we're out to stay Till college starts, and back we go, To four more years of work and woe. Harbara Hanson SONG OF SPRING (With apologies to “Oklahoma.’) Oh! what a beautiful morning! Oh! what a beautiful day! I've got the funniest feeling; From school will I keep away. The fishing is fine in the river. The sky up above is blue. The heat of the day grows warmer. Brother, school is no place for you! We’ll not study our English this morning. We don’t give a hoot what they say. We got the funniest feeling Everything’s going our way. Nicholas ('apron M P L E It 2D When you get old and aged And life is beginning to bore. Just relax ami take it easy And think of ’44. Walter Smith Streeter likes dames; He takes them to games. And takes ’em to Boston, too. You see him with blondes; (He takes them to Proms.) And each time lie's with someone new. Shirley Rowell I’ve often sat wondering, and as I gazed, 1 thought how this world of ours, half crazed By war, suffering, famine, and hate. Is waiting and wishing to see that date When men shall no more bear their arms Hut return to their wives, sweethearts, homes and farms When no more will people in delusion roam. Or shrink and run from the airplanes’ drone. And everyone come back to live in peace. Enrico Grippo Have you ever seen a tree in winter With its branches so barren and bleak Or listened some dark cold night As the limbs of its body would creak? Have you ever noticed a tree in winter As some small meek bird would hover Sitting cold, and hungry and cheerless Looking for food, for warmth, or cover? And have you noticed a tree in winter With its branches so bulen with snow You know as you gaze from your window That only God could make a picture just so? Enrico Ghippo When I was a freshman I always would say Hoy! I’ll feel good on that very last day. Hut now I’m a senior. I’ll have to admit I’d rather be back where the freshman sit. T H ER ES V N A R K F. WIC VIRGINIA Y for Vivacity she always puts forth. I for her Interest in a town slightly north. m R is for Romance; (We might add “In Springfield.”) G for her Gayety she can't keep concealed. I is Intriguing—she is, you’ll confess. N is for Neatness in coiffure and dress. I means Industry in study and practice. A for her talent that makes her an Actress. Now here are eight means of identification For a classmate who’ll share 44’s graduation. Pearl Apostolos
