It's a sign that warm weather is near, You will see the children, at work at play, But all is quiet on a rainy day. The tulips peek their heads out of the ground, And all of the animals are frisking around, The bushes and plants grow their beautiful leaves, And on rainy days, water drips from the eaves. The farmers are happy to see spring at hand, So they can grow crops on their plentiful land, The fields of wheat are beautiful sights, And the children are having fun with their kites. -George Haynes Who's Who in Sports DON PATRICK played baseball, basketball and soccer for three years.

Iireshman Activities The freshmen started out the year with getting accustomed to the high school schedule and learning to open the lockers which were new to most of us. Some of the boys had lockers last year as there weren't enough desks in the eighth grade room. Next came the initiation which was a lot of fun. We were all curious to see what Ufateu was in store for us. After the initiation we began to work out our assembly program. Wetre very proud of the way it turned out. We are very thankful to all who helped make it a success. The actors of our show bought Mr. Daniel Carnavale a cigarette lighter because he was always running out of matches durinjf rehearsals. The last thing which came about was the nominations and choosing of ll the student council. Jerry Jordan, Harry Hale, and Marcia Frick were nominated for secretary-treasurer of the student council from our class.

We are sorry to have Gerald Van Dyke and William Lyon leave us this year and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. The junior band of twenty-eight members finally shaped up as a mu- sical organization and was quite a Mbit at the spring concert. Seven- teen of our members will be pro- moted to senior band next year. We have been doing some marching on the athletic field and there is more to making a marching unit than we thought. We hope you have enjoyed our music as much as we have enjoyed playing for you. Art Department The room at the end of the lower corridor has been really humming with activity this school year. Many contests were entered. We are proud to report that Donna Dickens re- ceived a S10 honorable mention in the Wildlife Poster Contest spon- sored by the National Wildlife Fed- eration of Washington, D. C. An entry was submitted by Shir- ley Baker to the Health Poster Con- Julianne Johnston, Judi Richard Shelley, Arihur Thomas Bi-own, Bernita Ronald Baker tests sponsored by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Medical Society. The Scholastic Art Awards spon- sored by Sibley, Lindsay and Curr Co., Rochester, N. Y., received many entries and we are pleased to an- nounce that one of our eighth grade girls was awarded a scholastic key. Because Louella Pingrey received a highest regional award, her work was forwarded to Carnegie Insti- tute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for national judging. Congratulations for representing Belmont, Louellal Back to Rochester, where David Caldwell, Maxine Clark and Bill Lyon had ceramic pieces accepted for showing. Bill Lyon and Jack Winterhalter exhibited oils, Donna Dickens, a pastel, and Kay Saun- ders, a pencil sketch. Continue the grand work everyone. Another event to come is our school exhibit at the Angelica Fair where work from grades 1 to 12 will be on display. Look for the booth. 13 -IlIIlllliIIIlllllllillllilIllllIIillllVIII!illlflllllillllllllllllil'WIlllll-I1Iil-IIllI-HlllliIHillIIlllIIIIIIIHII-HIHIl!llllHllillll,iIIIlHIININI-HIIIIHIIN-NIIMINIIH-ILIHIHIHININIIIIHH-HiNI-IH'ilIilI4-UUilNIUI-iNIIillIIIIIIIIit-lllltlWillillllliiitlllllllllllll-I
