A LITTLE, CLASS IN BURBANK GREW Our little class in Burbank grew, Our little class of Lo w Sevens, who Were filled by teachers with knowledge true, And so we grew. And so our class is very blue, As we sit back and now review Our good times here, and bad times, too, And say adieu, --Lois Johnston With apologies to Eugene Field THE TERRIBLE THREE Tony knew it had to be done ; it was a job the gang had been waiting for. There they were, staring at hirn, knowing at any mo- ment he would hit with all his mig ht. He felt the beads of sweat standing on his forehead, as he gently switched his club, waiting for the right moment to ar- rive, Tony saw the terri- ble three waiting for him to strike the fatal blow. Then he saw it coming to- ward him; he moved slight- ly, and wanted to back out, but he saw the gang tensely waiting, and it was useless to admit he was such a cow- ard. It was almost upon Tony, he knew then was the right moment. He struck blindly, for until then cowardice had filled his heart. It was a perfect connection and the ball went over the fence f or a home run; the terrible three , Chris man, Nagata and Yool, on first, sec- ond and third, stood amazed while Tony ran by each of them to home -plate. --Lowell Gomez GOODBY BURBANK Burbank Junior High School, We must now bid you adieu; Words cannot express how much, We ' ll all be missing you.
