And think of how thankful we shouold be, For between us and war is the deep blue sea. Fred Ruderman, RA2 I PEAC E, NOT WAR Will these frightful wars never cease? Will these people never taste the blessedness of peace? Always to have bloodshed, poverty, and war, Will their doors be closed to peace forevermore? Think of the mothers who patiently Wait at the end of the lane Wondering if their boys Will ever come back again. Oh why don't these money-mad rulers stop to think Of all the suffering they cause, And then change their rule to one of peace and kindness Thus preventing such a terrible loss? Audrey Thaler, 8Bl 0 P E A C E P-eace is a thing of gladness, E-re and after the sadness. A-peaceful nation! C-ould anything be better for creation? E-very white dove stands for peace, beauty and love. Sylvia Goldsmith, 9Bl 0 A SOLDIER A soldier marches by, There is courage in his eye, He scans the tented line, And never gives a warning sign. He thinks upon his doom, O'er his face a shade of gloom He kneels upon the sod And hears the solemn word of God. Arnold Nodiff, 7Bl

mmmm THE INQUIRING REPORTER mmmm Our inquiring reporter spent a pleasant afternoon going around the school asking a question most vital to the interests of the stu- dents of Boody. We will give briefly the answers of five intelligent students. The reporter asked: Should teachers give homework? Ming-Tog Jones, 7Al?I-Homework? What a silly ideal Teach- ers get red in the face scolding the children whose homework is done wrong. Children get red in the face explaining to the parents who do their homework! Parents get red in the face when they realize they can't do their children's homework. It would save a good deal of wear and tear on the faces of all of us if no homework is given. L. M. Entery, 9Al?l. Who cares if teachers do give homework? lt's no good the way we do it. So what's the use? Give all you want. I don't do it right anyway. Chubby Foote, 7Bl?l. I say teachers by all means should give homework. I believe if you learn I plus I equals 2 in school, why not learn 2 plus 2 equals 5 at home? ln other words, do it right or wrong, but by all means, do your homework. I Arty Fischel, 8Bl?I. No! The teachers know the right answers. Al Bumin, 9Bl?l. No! It takes up too much of my time because I have to play baseball and mind my brother's uncle's sister's brother's baby. Whewl l'm glad that's off my chest. Pearl Buttons, 7Bl?l. No. I don't like homework because I like to listen to the radio, and after that I have no time. I like to stay up late and have fun. With homework, I might stay up late, but I would- n't have fun. 0 VOICE OF THE PUPILS Dear Editor, For years David A. Boody Junior High School has remained with- out a baseball, football, or basketball team. We have in this school boys and girls who are very skillful in outdoor and indoor sports. I think teams should be organized. Yours truly, Joseph Miracco 51
