SPRING IS HERE! The sunny season, Spring, is here! Open your doors, meet it with cheer. Leave in your thoughts for hate no room, Fill minds with goodness, never with gloom. Spring is God's annual gift to the world, Rebirth is proven as each bud is unfurled. From a dear slippered Grandpa to the tinies Spring is for young and oldsters alike. FREEDOM The way in which we live is fine, The way in which we pray divine. No evil power can e'er exclude God's laws, peace, Love's solitude. Our presses free for those who inform usg t tyke, Our churches open for atheists who storm us. Each voice speaks freely, no fear nor frigh Examples of freedom and America's might.

l PAINTING PASTTIMES Bonnie Swan Mrs. Richards, our art teacher, has skillfully guided and advised the Eighth Grade artists of 1965. She has developed hidden talents and made us realize the importance of color and having things in the right pro- portion. For each Fortnightly we used our im- agination in thinking of an idea apropos to the season or holiday. For the Parent's Invitational we did scenes from different countries to correspond with the Fashion Show. The Eighth Grade girls enjoy art with Mrs. Richards very much.
