THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO P39540 The Benefits of Belonging to a Junior Garden Club Nancy Howell, an intelligent child, thirteeen years of age, was arriving in the Central Station of Oak Park, Ill. She was greeted by a friend, Bette Russell, whom she loved dearly. Nancy had visited Bette once before, and this second visit she dreaded because of the dark, lonely house with its dull furniture and dark-toned walls. The yard was also a run down place, with rubbish and weeds which could have been removed and made at least presentable. As Nancy and Betty reached the house, Nancy was greeeted with a surprise. The yard was a lovely place surrounded by a hedge. A stone walk leading up to a freshly painted house gave beauty to the scene. As Nancy saw these won- derful changes she wondered if Bette had joined the Junior Garden Club. Cer- tainly such a change as this couldn't have occurred in any other wayl As she entered the house another surprise greeted her. lt was not the same dark, dull house she had left two years ago, but a lovely home with light streaming in the windows which beforehand had been covered by bushes. It was decorated with flowers which also brightened the room. Later that evening the girls were alone and Nancy asked Bette if she had joined a Junior Garden Club. Bette replied that she had joined and had learned many valuable things which she had used to improve her home and its sur- roundings. DOROTHY MURPHY fFirst prize theme, Eighth Grade Garden Club contest.j MY GARDEN In my garden pink and white, The little flowers grow: Nodding and swaying in the breeze, Standing in a row. Daisies, Roses, Daffodils, Lilies, and Sweet Pea Talk and dance among themselves, And always smile at me. The sun flower tall and stately, Flutters in the breeze, And once l was very certain, I heard the catnip sneeze. And, when I walk among them, It seems to me they say, Won't you come and talk with me? Won't you come and play? 1: MAXINE RICHARDSON CFirst prize poem, Eighth Grade Garden Club contest.j
