The Sunlight and I We went walking out together, the sunlight and I, Myself upon the velvet turf and he through the azure sky, We played in the brook and we laughed at the sea, And they laughed back at us, the sunlight and me. We went walking out together, the sunlight and I, And paid no heed to a thousand souls we passed by, And we played down in the meadow andthe grove and pasture, too, And after all was done, dear love. I wandered back to you. The sunlight smiled and climbed and hid Beneath a cloudbank in the sky- So we'll watch and wait together, sweet, And bid the sun good-bye. Because while we walked together We heard a bird's love-cry, And so we made a vow, my love, The sunlight C?J and I! M. Collins '37. 'True Experience Never Ends Classmates and students, teachers and friends, Humorous experience never ends And so to you I'l1 try to repeat A funny story that can't be beat. I While I was a waitress at a nearby place The family doc said I had a case He said all I needed was a rest And BED was the place that he thought best. I made up my mind, and I said NO! To bed I was sure I would not go. A couple of pills he gave me to take He said it was for my very own sake. I went back to work to serve a lad, He thought my case was very bad. My head was thick, my nerves were tense, And what 1 said made little sense. When to the cook my order I'd taken, She thought I must have been mistaken Then what did I do but begin to bawl And was there a reason? No, none at all. They carried me out and took me home, They didn't trust me far, alone. When I struck that bed, I couldn't think, I went to sleep, quick as a wink. When I woke, fa few days afterj T here was much fun and lots of laughter, They razz me to this very day, Do I OBEY the Doc ? I'll say! Helen Faulkingham V37.

20 WINTHROP WINNER into the truck, went like sixty for Doc Gray unloaded my moto rboat, and transported you both across. EfIiciency personified, said Sylvia with a hint of her old' self showing through. She smiled weakly, You know, Pm beginning to think you make a better Sir Galahad than I do, after all. ' That's what you think. Little girls like you hadn't ought to by trying stunts like that anyway. Sylvia, if you had drowned- . His face went gray. No, rectified Sylvia, trying to be flippant, because tears burned her throat. You're a rotten Sir Galahad. You don't even offer to help a damsel in distress! At your service, m'lady! I'm trying, sighed Sylvia. To ask you to marry me. She didn't have to try Very hard. The End Comparison A frog with a white speckled waist-coat And a robe of dotted green Sat musing on a lily-pad And watched the moon serene, And watched the moon serene. And a great big bull-frog with long brown legs, From a neighboring lily-pad queried My great-eyed one, my pretty-paunched one, Don't you think it time we were married? Don't you think it time we were married? A maiden stood on the bridge above- A lovely young village queen, And she swayed to the tune of her 1over's croon And watched the moon serene. And watched the moon serene. Then he stopped the strumming of his old guitar For no idle words he parried, He caught her and kissed her, the brook whispered back Don't you think it time we were married? Don't you think it time we were married? M. Collins 137. Juniors We Juniors are quite witty At cracking jokes and such, And when it comes to sludying It d0esn't take so-much. We certainly are the leading class, And there is where we'll stay, Till we show 'em we're in earnest By doing our work each day. We Juniors deserve some credit For the work that we maintain, And in the end, we hope- It all will be our gain. M. Oakes. '37 Night Twilight is quietly creeping Over hill and dale, Soon the earth will be sleeping Shrouded with a misty veil. Songbirds have hushed their singing, Trees whisper secrets, age-old, Now God has gathered everything Safe, in his protective fold. Earth is silent with slumber, The moon steals out of the deep, Then, softly in countless numbers, The stars begin to peep. The darkness settles around us, In a ghost-like, mysterious way, To guard the sleeping universe 'Til the dawn of another day. Dorris Dow Y37. The Senior Class of '36 Time glides swiftly on, School days will soon be o'er, As a class of Seniors We will meet no more. Classmates bound together By ties of friendship true, Leaving Winthrop High behind us To enter fields anew. We must take up life's duties, Though they be great or small, Success, glory, honor, Lie before us all. Helen Cummings '36. Storm When stomi clouds gather, dashing hopes raised high, And rain falls from a blank and leaden skyg Then one feels the surge of something infinite and grand That makes Sorrow the guiding spirit of its stand, And drops a tear for every widowed, suffering heart And tears the veil of human souls apart! Giving just a single glimpse of that beyond- And then with one heart-rending, lightning Hash is gone. Marjorie Collins 137.

The Rambler We would like to take this opportu- nity to describe the history and growth of our monthly school paper, The Rambler , in order that everyone will have a better understanding of this extra-curricula activity. The paper was inaugurated this year largely through the efforts of Mr. Jor- dan. Due to his diligent work the paper has been a success. The first issue had nine members on the Editorial Board and a circulation of barely a hundred. Because of this small circulation, adver- tisements were sold to make it a finan- cial success. And it was a financial suc- cess! In each successive issue our cir- culation and Editorial Staff increased. Finally in the fourth issue, the adver- tisements were discontinued because our subscriptions had increased suiir- ciently to take care of finances. The last issue printed had increased to a cir- culation of over 200 copies, and an Edi- torial Board of 15. During the year the Rambler has made a clear profit of over 552000. We wish to take this time to thank everyone who helped to make this paper a success.
