SCHGGL DAYS fuss and fret at our lessons, the rules we give loud groans, We worry and anger our teachers, At studying we are drones. We At Then when our school days are over And we turn for backward looks, We'll find that the happiest days of our life Were spent in school with our books! Sylvia Andrews '49 TO A FRIEND Tiny little buds which bloom through all the springs of time, Fragile little blossoms signify your heart and mine. Trained against the towering wall, the best of sun to reach, One was younger, more unwise, but they were beauties each. Grew they many hours together,both young flowers,true and strong, 'Til the finer one, impatient, did her hapless playmate wrong. Shadowed out the nourishing sunlight of her guidance, love and care And so the flowers of friendship die if truth they do not share., Joyce Morey '50 A LITTLE GIRLN I saw a little girl, She was cute as she could be, Sho had two big brown eyes, That spirklci merrily. She had an inpish grin, That brought dimples into view, She strutted proudly when she walked Because her shoes were new. Jane Day '52 wThis poem recently won honorable mention in the Maine Poetry Fellowship Contest, which was open to Maine high school pupils.

M Puri N E Maine is called the pine-tree state, ,Sv 4-Y A vacationland for ally .f5Qo1 It's an ideal place for winter sports, -'esws 1, ' fig.. -1 . , f f For hunting in the fall. ,J rifhf' -,H if ,r f' c?Ai5UN Its angry rushing rivers fm? UIX And shady woodland streams, l:'V it Are a call to every sportsmen, From Maine to New Orleans. In magnificent silent forests, with lowers, birds and vinesg There's a stillness broken only, By the sound of whispering pines. Along its rugged coastline, The graceful seagulls soarg While white foam flies in fury, And waves beat on the shore. It doesn't matter if you walk, Or come by bus or train The welcome mat is always out, In the grand old state of Najne. Vance Eacon '49 PQEMS Ten verses are too many, Five verses are too few, First, he says write one poem Then he says write two. Some say a teacher worries, Other's say, NAn easy life.n But to those who say, nwrite poetryn, I wish ----------------- a nagging wife.
