Best Poems from Our School Year • SUN AND CLOUDS Boys and girls come out and play, The jolly sun is out today. Come one. come all. It s too nice to stay When we can play the day away. The sun is gone; only clouds to see The wind is whipping, wild and free. Come one, come all. Such fun to be Chasing snowflakes gay as they flash past me. —Barbara Fleming, Grade 7. • MY OPIONION ABOUT THE NEW LOOK My opinion is that this so called ‘‘new look” Should be thrown in the river with rod line and hook. I walk down the street and every one stares! Oh Brother! That “new look” just gives me night mares! Now the hem is twelve inches away from the floor. Why didn’t they just add on twelve inches more? One woman wore it and they all had to copy. But not me: it looks too slovenly sloppy! Let’s rebel and revolt; may we be given strength To insist that they keep the hem at knee length. Since we don’t understand it. at least this girl begs That they don't try to pull the wool over her legs. —Betty Lou Goodill, Grade 9 I am thankful for A mountain blue ’gainst a distant sky. A deep valley, a rolling plain; Trees by a lake and birds that fly; A golden field of grain. I am thankful for The cold, clean softness of the snows; A blue flower; a bud in spring; The zephyr breeze that gently blows; For all that nature has to bring. —Julia Ann Lyman, Grade 12 • “BLESSINGS” Sometimes we think our troubles are many And our burdens too much to endure. Then, if we’d stop and reflect on our blessings We’d be much more contented, I’m sure. We could look to the west, to the towering Big Horns Reflecting the gold of the sun’s early rise Or to glistening peaks, standing so stately ’Gainst the star studded vastness of midnight blue skies. Just to live in your home in the valley you love And to worship and work as you please Long ago our forefathers—the Pilgrims, Died for such freedoms as these. So, when you are weary and tired of it all Think o’er these blessings named through And you'll find you can change this dreary old world From a dark to a more rosy hue. 19 —Julia Mae Cable. Grade 10
