Single? What a pityl Your eyes are like diamonds, Your features fine, God bless you my darling, I wish you were mine. Charlotte Kantrowitz, RDl C FRIENDS There is a breed of people Thet everyone should know. When you're rich, they gather round you, When you're poor, how fast they gol They'll eat your cake and candy, And then they'll ask for more, But if you're poor and go to them, They'll kick you out the door. But there are some who make real pals, Though these are rare indeed, People who help you all they can, When you're a friend in need. Now let's try an experiment To see if you are true. Lend me a quarter? What? You won't? You're not my friend! We're through. Burton Lehrenbaum, RCl C THE COMIC STRIP The Comic Strip, the Comic Strip, Let's through it all just take a trip. I've so many favorites. Shall l name a few, And tell something about them? That l will do. There's Bringing Up Father, with Maggie and Jiggs, And Smitty, always thinking up new rigs, And the Bumpstead Family, Blondie, Dogwood and Dumpling Oh, the Comic Strip, the Comic Strip, For it l'm always jumping.

But he knows how long her minutes are, So he goes outside and buys some beer. And now you know how life goes on In our house every night. You'd think my fother'd get disgusted, But no, you're far from right. My father comes home in the night time, To get food is his first aim, And when he's finished eating, He goes inside and joins the game. Burton Lehrenbaum, RCI C THE BULL FIGHTER Way back in I89O, in the great town of Cadiz, A man was chosen to fight a bull, Gee Whiz! The day had come, and one o'clock was very nigh, He felt so nervous and afraid that he thought that he would die. He marched into the arena looking oh so proud and big, He felt so happy then and there that he could have danced a jig. The bull came out and charged at him, He didn't know what to do. He shook his cape at the big, bad bull and jumped right out of his shoes. Some of the ladies threw flowers and the bull sat in repose, Because no one knew he was allergic to a rose. Irene Nires, 8B4 0 LEAP YEAR PROPPOSAL My Dear Respected Friend, I send you this your love to stir. 'Tis you I have chosen most of all, On whom to make my Leap Year call. I have given you the foremost' chance, You may freely make advance. Of your heart 'n' hand I make no jest, And hope you grant my fond request, If your love does not decline. In wedlock band do join with mine. You are witty, you are wise. 37

mm BOODY DOINGS CONSTITUTION CLUB When I entered the room, I found the pupils and Mrs. Rochelle busy at work. The subject naturally is The Constitution. The pu- pils must know the Constitution thoroughly. Questions were being put to the pupils, such as, What relation exists between our Presi- dent and our Army and Navy? The pupils answer eagerly. I should think that any pupil would want to learn to be a better citizen and a better leader. Such is the aim of the Constitution Club. Florence Resnick, DR2 O CONTEMPORARY VERSE CLU B The purpose of this club is to acquaint the members with the rich field of modern contemporary verse. Selections from the works of Guiterman, Kipling, Van Dyke, Noyes, Guest, and many others are read at meetings. An attempt is made to understand and develop an appreciation for poetry. Each meeting is devoted to a particular poet. Style of writing and subject matter are considered. It is hoped that each member will be inspired to read and appreciate poetry. Mr. Schwartz is the faculty adviser of the club. Sylvia Tomaselli, 9A3 Q THE GAME CLUB Miss Corry is in charge of the Game Club. The children of this club seem very happy. The teacher gives the children their games. She allows talking during game time. They have all kinds of games: checkers, puzzles, parchesi, games of authors and many others. - Joe Martello, 8B6 I SHEET METAL SHOP AND CLUB Mr. Crosley is the teacher. He is now teaching in an entirely dif- ferent way. This term the boys have to make a drawing of the job before they can actually do it. Other new things he is teaching are different metals and their alloys. The boys make all kinds of knick- nacks such as an ash tray, cone wall vase, house-bank and the spe- cial job of The World's Fair Project. The jobs that are best done nu.-.I-ri.-nv r - - . .. ..
