THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS SCHOOL Squeaky doors and squeaky desks, These and more are students' pests, In 216 the floor it squeaks, lt's been like this for many weeks, In 314, a desk goes down, And with it goes a crashing sound In chemistry lab, smoke arises, And goes thru school in assorted sizes, In 303 where a student nods We find desks full of paper wads. In I22, the room's too small, It needs an expansion wall. And 206-the chairs they break! That's why we say, Oh, for Pet'e's sake. And in the library, where the magazines are We find that students love to mar Picture and books, Despite the looks of Mrs. Becker. In 3I3, when the hand goes by, We let out our biggest sigh and close the windows. Then, there's the locker without a door On which to paste Dorothy Lamour There we find all papers on the floor, Then we declare another war. So it ends I wish to say That this is true, it's not iust hay.-B. K. Brooklyn Epitaphs Gee Kid! Spring's here Wit de boids and flowers And de little green grass On de cold damp eart! Gee ain't it nice out tho' Wit spring here M- And de sun sun's shinin bright Gee it makes ya feel all good and clean inside. Yea-spring's here r Ain't it swell tho' Gee Kid! Gee!

Say Mert Did I tell you Spring was here? Well, it ain't. Gee, kid Me mudder called me this mornin' Gee, I looked out the winder Snow! Gobs of it on the ground All perty and white and gooey Gee, Spring ain't here at all. Say Mert, Can I borrow your sled?-B. H. Page 29 ONE MEMORABLE NIGHT Excitement was in the air and young hearts danced lightly, l'here was to be a dance and it was formal too. The smell of flowers hovered in the air Mixed with cologne and perfumes rare. Delicate colors of different hues were blended expertly By spotlights here and there along the dark corners Each girl vainly tried to outdo all others No dress was prettier than hers. The music softly romanticized young hearts and set the pace Of dancing feet swirling around and around And soft looks sent a message of thrill from eye to eye, While outside soft whispers penetrated the stillness of the sky. But soon it was over and Goodnight Ladies stilled the night Each starry eyed maiden was ushered to her door The long awaited night was over and gone But not to be forgotten at dawn.-B. H. COLDS Colds are gruesome things Whether in head or throat An easy way to catch one- Go without a coat. One day it's rather warm out So out come summer clothes The next day brings a snow-storm Plus a bad cold in the nose. The sniffles come, the sneezes go You end up flat in bed With your head plugged up, you start to cough And your nose gets sore and red. With doctor's care the cold will go And leave you minus the sneeze Good health'll be yours come summer days Until the next winter's freeze.-B. H. MUSIC I find rest in music In its depth and sweetness In its rapturous strains. My soul is uplifted Unto soaring heights By the beauty it contains. Whether it be loud Or be it soft and simple, Its beauty enthralls. I am carried away By its glorious tones As each note calls. My whole being Thrills to heavenly music And I am glad. But my soul is awakened From rapture to realization Upon this world, and I am sad.-B. H.

ART DEPARTMENT The art classes have been busy this year doing many interesting things. This particular department serves three groups, the seventh grade, eighth grade, and senior high school. The seventh and eighth grade meet once a week. The senior high group meets daily. The seventh grade studies the construction and decoration of portfolios, and appreciation of famous pictures and their stories. Their part on the home front is the drawing of war posters and designs. This group has done excellent work during the school year. For the first semester the eighth grade studied craft work and carving. War poster designs and art appre- ciation were their proiects for the last semester. The senior high group has varied activities. Pencil sketching, portfolios, posters for school functions, block prints, war bond posters, sketching of human figures, molding clay, pen and ink work for the Tappan Tatler, tempra and oil drawings, and helping on certain pro- ductions in dramatics and music by decorating the stage, are some of the many projects which make the classes so interesting.
