We, the Class of 1947, believe that no man is more hopelessly misled than hc who thinks the world will lay its best gifts on his doorstep, and that without effort on his part he will receive wealth and honor. So to believe is to live in a fool's para' dise. The most worthwhile things in life, such as friendship, integrity, and success, come to the man who searches, the man who pursues, the man who is never quite satis' lied with his present level of achievement. lt is one thing to seek, it is another thing, however, to secure what one finds. Simply stsated, to secure is to move in and possess that which we find. Many men reach the',top, but not knowing how to live in the rarilied atmosphere of the heights, they fail at the moment of success. The wise possess things, the unwise are possessed by them. It was old King Midas who loved gold so passionately that he wished every- thing he touched might be transformed into the precious metal. Only when his lovely little daughter became a gold statue at his touch, did King Midas fully realize how completely he was a slave to his possessions. Actually to preserve and fortify what we have sought is to be happy, but to be enslaved by what we have sought is the most dismal failure. Seeking, securing, sharing--these three, but the greatest of these is sharing. What is good always becomes better when it is shared. Happiness deserts us when we lock it up within ourselves. Love turns to dust and ashes when a man heaps it upon him' self and himself alone. The game is won when men share the struggle. If tomorrow is a better day, it will be so because high school young people everywhere have learned to share in a common cause-the building of a new world.

Eolucoitions Chctllenge to American Youth The success of American democracy is so closely related to education that one wonders why at any time people would lose sight of its value and significance in our way of life. Yet, in spite of the dependence of our form of government upon the processes of education, we ind ourselves in a period of educational depression which has assumed the proportions of a crisis. Two great aspects of this crisis seem to center around the apparent lack of concern on the part of the general public as to-what is happening to our schools, and the large number of teachers who have left the pro- fession in recent years never to return, together with the small number of persons preparing to become teachers. That schools cost too much , that our educational program is good enough , and that what was acceptable schooling for my grandfather is all right for the pres' ent generation are remarks often made by those who fail to understand the prob' lem or to measure the consequences if it is not solved successfully. People look at statistics of increasing school costs and decreasing enrollments and wonder where it will all end. They seldom look beyond their own communities to measure the extent of the cost. In our nation as a whole less than two per cent of our national income is spent on educationfa small investment for so great an undertaking. If local ref sources are being taxed to the limit, then state and national governments must bear their fair share, for the value and influence of education are as great as the nation itself. Educational programs can never be just good enough . They must always be adjusted to the needs of our youth. The same people who argue that the schools of grandfather's day are all right for the present generation would rebel if one sug- gested that they be satisfied with a 1911 model automobile instead of the smooth run' ning, beautiful, and efficient machine of today. It was expected that during the war years many of our teachers would leave the profession for industry or service with the armed forces. About 350,000 of the nearly 1,000,000 teachers in the United States left their school rooms in recent years leaving many classrooms without replacements. NVhat we did not realize, perhaps, was that many of these young people would fail to return to teaching at all. Add to this situ' ation the fact that our teacher training institutions are currently graduating only a handful of persons prepared to enter our classrooms and it is not difficult to see that our schools are in a serious plight. ,I Education needs the best thinking, the keen interest, and the continuous attenf tion of all persons, but most of all it seems to me, it requires the active concern of those closest to it, that is, parents of children in school, and those young people who will graduate from our High Schools in June. High School graduates can do much to safeguard the future of education by actively concerning themselves with the wel' fare of our schools now, not ten years in the future, when thoughts and ideas con- cerning education are apt to be out of adjustment with the problems then being faced. Teaching is a great profession. Teachers work with minds and personalities, and the impressions they leave, for good or ill, are never quite erased. The influence of a great teacher is never forgotten and may change the course of many lives, while the consequences of ineffective teaching are tragic to contemplate. Truly, teaching is a profession which demands the best. If the basis of our democracy is to be safeguarded, our High School graduates should maintain an active and purposeful interest in education even though their for- mal schooling may have ended. More young people must enroll in our teacher train' ing institutions lest our classrooms go empty and our youth untaught. This is the challenge of education to American youth. EVERETT L.

Our goal is known and settled, our eyes are on the peak, The heights we see and long for may we not cease to seek. Keep us, O Alma Mater, from pitfalls and false ways, Bind our hearts fast to virtue with wisdom's saving rays. May we for our high purpose the toilsome climb endure And with steadfast devotion our triumph make secure. Help us, O Alma Mater, to share the good we've gained With those who dwell in darkness, whose hope and faith hav May we be strong to strengthen God's purpose everywhere, And ne'er forsake our effort, to seek, secure, and share. e waned 3111 illlrmnriam In loving memory of our classmate, Paul Edmund Gervais, we, the Chelmsford High School Class of 1947, dedicate this page of our Year Book. Paul was an active member of our class, devoted to all our interests, and a tireless worker in inconspicuous positions. He sought no acknowledgment and consistently avoided the limelight. In school he was a serious minded and thorough pupil, and as manager of the football team, he served in his usual faithful, conscientious manner. Outside of school he devoted much of his time to 4fH work, and he had an unusual number of awards for his achievements. Whzitever he did was well done, with a. smile and a pleasantness that were unfailing. Paul's going was not like the sudden blinking out of a bright light that glares in a small spot and casts heavy shadows, but rather it was like the fading of a soft and luminous glow that radiates into each remote corner. Only gradually have we realized the loss of the warmth and glow of his personality, and the memory of his quiet cheer' fulness grows in vividness. With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair lt needs must be, since he lingers there. Year Book Steffi Memories are priceless. Wheii alone, away from friends and familiar surround' ings, they come and holster our spirits. This hook is offered hy us that all who read it may realize how much these years at high school really have meant to us. The real value of these years will be more appreciated as time goes hy. This Year Book will, in some measure, add a fond and friendly completeness to our fading memories.

IJ. d,,gs.f Whcit Sports Mecm To An American Boy Most people consider sports from the point of view of the spectator, but sports are not just games packed with excitement for the entertainment of the onlooker. Has it ever occurred to you to analyze the respects in which a boy gains as a ref sult of participating in sports? He gains responsibility, teamwork, sportsmanship, and physical exercise. Responsibility teaches a boy to carry out orders. It teaches him to hold down his position despite the outcome. It teaches him accountability for his own actions, for in the game he sees the immediate results of his own doings. Teamwork puts a boy in a position where he is no longer on the lookout for him' self alone but where he develops the care and will to cofoperate with others. Sportsmanship teaches a boy to control himself while losing. It trains him to accept defeat or setback with the poise of a winner, and to accept success with generosity to the loser. f Physical exercise produces a strong, healthy body. It remedies flaws in structure and function, and puts into condition muscles that are not exercised otherwise. Sports will never fade from the American scene as long as such rewards are forth' coming. A boy often wonders to himself what a dull place this would be without them. just what would the American boy do and become in his America without sports?

This association is under the supervision and control of the School Committee as are other Committees and Organizations within the scope of the School System. The policies of the Athletic Association of the Chelmsford Schools, however, is es' tablished, subject to review and approval by the School Committee, by a Board of Directors. This Board of Directors includes the following: A student leader at the High School, one member of the School Committee, the High School Principal, two Elementary School Principals fto be selected by the School Committeej, the Super' intendent of Schools, the Coach of each sport while that sport is in season, and the Faculty Manager of each sport while that sport is in season. Mr. Hicks served as chairman of the board, Mr. Pappalardo, as secretary, and Hector McDonald as the High School Representative.

Lack of veteran material was the main reason for the unfavorable scores, the only returning players from the 1945 championship team being Hoyle, Lovett, McDonald, and Morrell. The season opened with a dedication of the new football field and also by a loss to Punchard 12 to 0, Another strong team from Andover, johnson, handed Chelmsford a 19 to 7 setback. Then came the first title game against Tewksbury, a handffought contest which was lost 20 to 7. Dracut followed, and determined as the boys were to secure a win, the game resulted in a 0 to 0 tie. Next came a powerful Maynard eleven, who, anxious to avenge the 13 to 6 heating suffered in 1946, piled up a 41 to 14 score. Though outscored, the boys were not outspirited. Spurred on by this defeat, they were anxious to make a come hack against Pinkerton Academy, but a rally in the last quarter failed, and again they lost 12 to 6. The next game, the only night game of the season, was a hearthreaker. Even though the Chelmsford team gained 241 yards to Hudf son's 20, they came out on the short end of a 6 to O count. The boys battered Hudson all over the park, and this was without question a moral victory for them. Concord, the team that easily won the Class D state title, handed out a 52 to 6 beating. Chelmsford had the honor, however, of being one of the only two teams to score on Concord all year. The traditional Thanksgiving Day game was also lost to Howe 12 to 6. The boys played a good game throughout, but again the breaks were not with them. In spite of all setbacks, Chelmsford High School is proud indeed to see their two valiant captains, Hoyle and Lovett, make the all Suburban team this year. The departing seniors will always remember Coach Pappalardo and Assistant Coach Hicks whose efforts were tireless and whose faith in their team prevailed throughout a trying season. Even if we have not built winning scores this year at Chelmsford, we feel we have built a spirit and earned an experience which will win for us later. Lettermen graduating this year who played well throughout the season were CofCaptains Bump Lovett and Bob Hoyle, Don Burne, Tom Chagnon, Swish johnson, Hector McDonald, Gimp Morrell, Buddy Peterson, and George Pontefract. Special credit is due to our very efficient managers, Robert McDonald and james Whitworth. cis. Y' 5 e ls! d l YJ! NJ Nl A is 'Yu XNA Xi W J N: lx i x 'X K Q B 'X xx N, Q Y. H Q. NN I 1947 YEAR Book Boys' Basketball Immediately after the Thanksgiving vacation candidates were called out for has' kethall. Witli only one week to prepare for the first game, Coach Hicks had to work fast to cut the squad and get the hoys into playing condition. The season opened with a one point victory over Maynard. Then followed a Hve game losing streak hroken when the team hit its stride and emerged victorious in more than its share of the remaining scheduled games. At the Fitchhurg tournament the C.H.S. hoys, appearing in the finals, were de' feated hy a strong Templeton eluh. Although the long awaited trophy went to the winners, the hoys of C.H.S. did receive a runnersfup cup. Special mention should he given to Coach Hicks and to Mi', lvers, faculty man' ager, for their splendid .ioh of helping the hoys. Credit is also due to the junior Varsity hoys for holding their own against teams which were out of their class. They ended a successful season with five wins and four losws. Doug Peterson regretfully leaves his honored position as captain to his worthy successor, Clarence Muff Hefler.

However, what the boys lacked in equipment and experience, they made up for in spirit. The team, hampered by bad weather and the lack of experienced play' ers, started the season by facing some of the strongest teams in the circuit and conf sequently found itself on the losing end of a number of games. Captain Arthur Morrell, leadfoff batter and an extremely dangerous base run' ner, led the team by his good example. Chelmsford was fortunate in having four capable pitchers, Paul Dumont, Robert Dinnigan, Bob Hicks and Douglas MacElroy. Dinnigan was used in relief roles and he did well in this capacity, while Hicks, Mac' Elroy and Dumont carried the brunt of the work, shifting hack and forth between the mound and the outfield. On first base was veteran Bob Lovett, back on the job after an operation, while second base featured a new face in the uniform of Chelmsford High baseball, Gordon Axon. The man with a grin, Eddie Bishop, capably handled the short stop position and on the hot corner was speedy Tom Cantara with the rifle-like arm. Peterson and Reid held down the other outfield spots and shone well on the Held. Capable catcher John Campbell proved most helpful with his accurate throw' ing and powerful hitting.

I CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS I've gone to high school four long years And over marks shed bitter tears, I've crawled out of bed in the early morn And wondered how it could be dawn. 1've jogged about on rattling busses, And had my share of silly fusses. I've worked and studied very hard, Trying to get a passing card. I've gone to parties, joined in the fun, No happier person under the sun. Of course the social life was gay, Or maybe I was born that way. I've made good friends as the years have flown, And much true happiness I've known. I guess folks are right when they recall School days as the very best of all! Snmuir REID '47 THE SENIOR BARN DANCE The girls came in trousers rolled up to their knees, 'The boys in one corner stood buzzing like bees. The music began in those fast, jivy paces, ...... All felt at ease and joy shone on their faces. The faculty hurried in all out of breathg The clothes they had on would scare you to death. Mr. Burns was a sight in blouse and short pants, And the fun all began when he started to dance. The men in patched shirts and old worn-out shoes, Looked happily around a partner to choose. None danced in their shoes, we had a new rule, Only dancing in stockings allowed in the school. The ladies wore stockings as black as could be, And lo and behold! where those knees we could see? They wore strawfhats and kerchiefs, and bows in their hair, And all the odd things that we'd not dare wear. lntermission with cider and donuts to eat, Then back to gay dancing in our stocking feet. You'd have laughed 'til you cried, had you seen this sight At the Barn Dance the Seniors held that night.

The annual spring concert, held in April, developed the unusual theme of songs from many lands and peoples. Various Qi American hallads were featured, as well as sacred and other secular selections. One il of the highlights of this concert was the playing of Brahms Hungarian Dance by the guest violinist, Guy Staveley.

Walter Wilkins '47 THE WINTER SEASON Winter comes but once a year, Bringing children fun and cheer. In their homes the fires are bright, Burning logs brighten the night. The world is covered white with snow, Icicles sparkle all aglow, Children slide down every hill, And laugh and shout at such a thrill. Rain is frozen. on the panes, Trees are glazed with freezing rains, Winds are blowing far and near, Telling us that winter's here! Isabelle Gonsalves '47 A POEM I bet I stay up half the night, Trying to think of a poem to write. I've just begun, and I'm already stuck- I certainly have the darndest luck. I've thought and thought 'til my brain's gone numbg Maybe it's because I'm just plain dumb. My father has called me to hit the hay, When I pass in my paper, it's the devil I'll pay.

Donald Vayo '47 HOUSEWORK I hate to Hll the oil jug, I hate to sweep the floor, I hate to do the dishes, And dusting is a bore.

But when HE calls, says mother, AfAfA-huh, no out of doors! V Barbara Dufresne '47 OUR DOG One day last summer my sister came home From delivering the Sunday papers, With a little black dog who made us all laugh When he started in cutting up capers. He followed my sister upstairs and down, And he stayed right close by her heels, And when she went out and left him be' hind, He whined the most plaintive appeals. He's just a small dog with a woebegone face And a handicap, sad as can be- He can't wag his tail as other dogs do, There's no tail where his tail ought to be!

And I find I love her more each day With a love that has no end. She is the perfect girlfriend, She's never cross or cold, She bears with me in all my moods, This puppy-three months old. ROBERT MORRISON '47 AMBITION 'Twas the day of report cards And all through the school All the boys were like angels, Even Hoyle didn't fool. Their faces were sober, For A's they did thirst, And yet they just sat there Expecting the worst. Of course they had studied, Their parents all knew it, But somehow or other, Their report cards didn't show it. But soon it was over And home they all went, Wishing on studies More time had been spent. Next day they resolved- And you'l1 be amazed- They're going to work hard For nothing but A's. MARJORIE WHITE '47 OUR PARTY LINE Our telephone is the busiest yet, I lift the receiver but only get, Well, Kate, I finally bought that hat, And yaftafta, yafta-ta, chat, chat, chat. I read the funnies and try again, To learn that somebody lost his pen. Although I listen with naughty glee, The chatter fails to interest me. The receiver I put back on the hook, And I settle down with my favorite book, When all of a sudden the telephone rings., And extra special news it brings. It's my boyfriend asking for a date! He apologizes for calling so late, But believe it or not, I hear him say, I've been trying to get your line all day. I never had time to make that call, But what does it matter after all? The important call is the one that came throughg , Why should I grieve that I didn't get you! ELAINE SOIITTER '47 THE DIFFERENCE I have a driveway, as you can see That's twice as long as it should be It's lovely when the weather's fair And fragrant blossoms scent the air. But when the snow is three feet high, I get my shovel with a sigh. Shovel, shovel, from twelve to three- It almost is the end of me. WINIFRED HUNT '47 1947 YEAR Boolc REVELATION My pencil walks a mile a day Aftraveling up and down, It runs along a paper road And through a paper town. It leaves a trail where 'ere it goes Where you may follow me And learn my very inmost thoughts And personality. Evelyn Flavell '47 THE WILDERNESS TRAPPER I know an old trapper, so lean and hard, Who lives in the forest on beans and lard. He works like a beaver, and small is his pay As he follows his trapline day after day. Along high ridges where snows are deep, Down through the valleys where little brooks seep, His traps are all set for marten and lynx, Those little furred creatures of wooded pine brinks. The Indianfdevil, so ruthless and strong, Follows his traps and does him great wrong. It destroys his fine furs, all valued so high, It never gets caught, and refuses to die. Yet in spite of these troubles, no man can say The wilderness trapper is never seen gay. For he loves the dark forests, tundras, and streams, And he lives every day in his boyhood dreams. Horus WILKINS, JR. '47 SKIING One bright and sunny morning I thought that I would try To learn a little skiing, Enough to get me by. I started out so bravely, As happy as could be- I did not know the troubles Which were in store for me! My skis were brightly polished And as shining as the sung They were a Christmas present From an aunt in Washington. I found a hill quite gentle And not too very high, But just right for a beginner, So I thought that I would try. I put my skis on swiftly And I started down the hill. It never once occurred to me That I might take a spill! The hill which looked so gentle Wasn't really gentle at all, And halfway to the bottom Appeared a large stonewall. My skis they would not mind me, They wouldn't even stop, My poles were little better, So I left them with a drop. I missed the ball completely, Though how you couldn't guess, But the skis which wouldn't mind me Saved me from that stony mess. They threw me to the ground, you see, Before that horrid wall, And I wasn't even hurt a bit From that pridefshattering fall. I picked myself up slowly And vowed that never again Would I risk my neck at skiing, But stay safely in my den. MAUREEN DANE '47 A DREAM In my dreams I always see A car both black and long, With silver fenders, white wall tires, As sweet as any song. A car with looks and lots of speed, With all the latest frills, ' With engine great and powerful To climb the highest hills. But when I waken from my trance, I always look around To see if this dream car of mine Is really on the ground. But I find only empty space Where my new car should be And wish I were asleep again To dream of it, you see! Gnoaca MERRILI. '47 CHELMSEORD HIGH SCHOOL ADVICE To seek and to find Is what you should do, And make up your mind To secure the thing too. It takes study and work, It takes patience and time, It's a task you can't shirk Till you say, It is mine. Don't forget in sheer zest For your treasure so new To say to the rest Come, you have some too! SHIRLEY CROWELL '47 AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU'RE YOU? Did you ever wish that you might be A dog, a bird, or a tiny bee, To live in a kennel, a nest, or a hive, Getting just barely enough to survive? You think a dog is a lucky creature, To have only nature as his teacher? just think of Rusty, who roams the street, Alone and homeless, old bones his treat. A poor little bird, so you may think, Gets more than her fill to eat and drink, But she works like a beaver to feed her young, And after work, her songs are sung. Through the gardens and fields the tiny bees hover, Searching for sweets in blossoms and clover, They have a lifetime job, you see, Making honey for you and me. Do you still think it fun to be one of these, And not have to learn your A B C's? Well, consider the facts from near and far, And know you're lucky to be just as you are. SHIRLEY HARVEY '47 SCHOOL Would you trade your school for a stack of gold? Would you give up the fun and the jokes you've told? Would you miss the glimpse you've been led to see Of the man or woman you ought to be? Would you go through life with a dim out' look, Forgetting your friends, the kids with the books? Would all the wealth in the world repay For what you have gained in the school of today? MARGARET KYDD '47 BABY SITTING Every time I care for children I have a lot of fun. Even though there are only three, I'm always on the run. First I give young Joe a drink, Then run to quiet Gail, And then the baby's bottle warm Before she starts to wail. At last when they are all in bed, And I've settled down with a book, Then I hear noises in their room And decide I had better look. just as I thought. joe's up again! Oh, joe! get back to bed. And please don't wake the baby up Until she must be fed. I really love this kind of work Though it sometimes wears me down And mother needs someone on hand So she can go to town.

Perhaps he had only a freshly cut birch sapling with a string and a pin, or, if a little more fortunate, Dad's cast'off rod and reel, but he went fishing, and that's the main thing, for he has become a par' ticipant in one of America's greatest out' door sports. He has become, literally, one of the thousands of sportsmen who take to the streams and ponds when the open sea' son arrives, in quest of the wily trout, bass, pickerel, and bullhead. He has been initiatf ed into the worldfold order of those who know, as they think, where the prize specimens of their favorite species are hid' ing, and who hold that knowledge a secret from the world. There is something about this sport that can be matched by no other. It comes part- ly from the feeling of being out early in the morning as the sun is just raising its scarlet head above the huge, solemn pines. It comes partly from the sound of the lit' tle wandering brook that gurgles its way among the mossy rocks down to the deep, dark pools below. It comes partly from the tang of the frosty atmosphere and the thrill of a fighting brookie thrashing about on an end of a seven foot leader, his splendid body leaping and whipping the blackish waters of the pool. Yes, there certainly is a thrill in fishing that can not be equalized by anything else in this world. But the actual fishing is not the only fun that comes from this Hne sport, nor is its enjoyment merely seasonal. There is the fun of poring over tackle on a cold winter's night by the fireside. There is the gloating over a finely varnished bamboo rod, a ma' roon-colored automatic reel, and a hundred varifcolored flies. And can one fail to men' tion the pleasure that is in the pages of simple sporting magazines, where the search for new and better tackle is never ending. To me the pleasantest invitation in the world is, Let's go fishing! Horus WILKINS JR. '47 SCI-IGOLDAYS Do you recall your first day in school, when you entered the first grade classroom with your mother by your side? Do you remember how everyone laughed and talked, and how selffconscious you felt as you walked into the room? The boys had on new knickers, with white shirts that weren't too white when they returned home because of a fight in the school yard with a new friend or spilled milk at lunch time. The girls had on new dresses and wore long pigtails tied with big bows which were no advantage because boys just loved to tease girls by pulling their pigtails or putting them in nearby ink wells. The next few days of school were not as difiicult as the first because you were getting used to the routine, and maybe you liked the teacher a lot better than you did the first day. Maybe you even liked her enough to bring her an apple at one time or another. The days and the years soon passed, and the boys went from knickers to long trouf sers and started to use hair tonic on their hair. And the girls went from long pigtails to curls, and into skirts and sweaters. Then you graduated from grammar school and started high school, the best years of your life. More years have passed and soon you will graduate from high school, and some day you will recall all the silly and nice things you did in high school. Not yet, but some day, today will be a lovely memory and you'll say, Remember when-? and you will sigh, remembering. LILLIAN Ramon '47 MY FAVORITE SUBJECT What is my favorite period? Now lct me see, what subjects do I have? There's English? No, I'm afraid that isn't my favof rite. Mathematics? Hmm, I don't know, I'm not very fond of math, Well, that leaves me with economics, ofiice practice, history, and typing. Come to think about it, none of them seem to appeal to me at all! I wonder why I took them. Maybe there wasn't anything else, but that's be' side the point. Gee, I'm not getting very far! I can't seem to think right now that I like any' thing but study period. In study I can do anything I want to-well, almost anything. I can do homework if I have any left over, or if I am sick of school work, which with 1947 YEAR Book all those subjects I usually am, I can read a book or just daydream. Oh! daydream' ing, that's the life for me. I love it, but it doesn't get me aywhere. I guess I have to take courses, and they are all equal in my estimation. Now, that leaves me with no theme to write about! ToNY CHANCEY '47 WHAT LICENSE? Our hero starts to drive a car at a ten' der age. When I say he starts to drive, I mean he goes through the motions in a comfortably parked car. Soon he can, by successfully stripping the gears, start, stop, and turn around quite well in a ten acre lot. How he got the car into the lot, I real' ly don't know. Suddenly he reaches the stage where he learns to drive into one side of the garage and right out through the other. You see, he makes his own doors. He goes through curves instead of around them, being a direct sort of a chap by dis- position. Having discovered that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, our skillful driver proudly exhibits a slip of pink paper, which is known as a driver's license. This license, issued by the Secref tary of Safety Last Council, I. M. Reck' less, entitles him to drive around, over, or under any car, bus: street car, auto, or freight train, and to frighten old women and children at will. The holder of this permit holds the right of way, is not al' lowed to drive less than 80 miles per hour through traflic, and is expected to disobey all signals, particularly policemen's whistles. He is entitled to all the road at all times, to make wrong turns at will, and to ignore entirely red stop lights, stop signs and tick' ets given by the special policemen. Our skillful driver figures that his license is good until death ---- and usually it is! ALICE MCHUGH '47 MOTHERS LITTLE MAN Perhaps at some time in your life you have been deceived by outward appearance. Perhaps more than once you have been fooled by inexperienee. Well, whatever blows the Fates have dealt you, remember that I too have been victimized. I'Iere's what happened to me back in the dark thirf ties. It was a typical spring day, bright and sun' ny. Birds were singing and apple blossoms were in full bloom. You might wonder how even the Fates could be insidious on such a day, but wait and see! Alas, what misery! what woe befell me! I was suddenly cast from the carefree, joy' ous state of boyhood into the burdensome, woeful status of maturity. The reason for this calamity? Long trousers! I had reached the masterful age of ten, and Mother- very decent of herwthought her little boy would look manly in long pants. So the short pants, familiar, comfortable, worn aff fairs, were laid aside, and on came the trousers with suspenders and all the rig' ging. My first effort to get properly inside of my new raiment was disastrous. You see, I had very inexpertly inserted both feet in a single aperture, and, unable to proceed eff fectively, I picked myself off the floor fre' qucntly. But getting into the contraption was only one misery, wearing it was a se' ries. Like an elephant trying to climb a ladder, very often I had accidents. Mother had not had too much luck at the hit or miss method of guessing sizes and had vastly overestimated my proportions. Durf ing the course of the day I was constantly treading the hem. I walked on my trousers, not in them, and unconsciously beautifully polished Mother's waxed floors. Moreover, I could have dispensed with my shirt, as the pantaloons-doubtless they were tail- ored by a tentfmaker-covered me nicely as far as my armpits. Neither time nor words did I waste in expressing my resentment, and joy of joys, again I was free! No ball and chain, no fetters, no tripping, no flopping. But hapf piness is short lived and woe is merely post' poned. The time comes to each mother's son when he must inure himself to the dictates of the civilized world, disagreeable though they may be. Eventually I yielded to the inf evitable. I slowly accustomed myself to the conventional men's wear, and now, as you can see, I am a slave to the dictum of fash' ion. HECTOR MCDONALD '47 CHELMsEORD HIGH SCHOOL ON TAKING CARE OF CHILDREN Buzz! The telephone is ringing. I dash to answer it, thinking of what I will do this afternoon. Hello? Oh! Yes. NO, I'm not doing anything this afternoon. Certainly. I'd love to take care of Janie and Tommy. All right. Bye. Bang goes the receiver and gone are my plans for the afternoon. As I ring the doorbell of the darlings' home, bang, a cap pistol goes Off in my ear. That's Tommy, Mummy's little man. So playful. Finally my hat and coat are off, and here comes Janie to kiss me with cook' ie smeared all over her. That's Daddy's lit' tle sugar plum. Mummy leaves with instructions as to what to feed the darlings for supper. Janie, trying to be so helpful, decides to give her kitty some milk. Result, one quart Of milk on the kitchen floor. At last, the children are in bed for the afternoon. Thank goodness. Peace for an hour or two. The dishes are done and put away in record time and I am comfortably on the couch with a good book. My good' ness! What's that thump on the stairs? To my surprise there appears Tommy sliding down the stairs on the laundry bag. Mummy's little man once again in bed, I start down the stairs. Janie decides she wants a drink. As nothing can induce her to go back to bed, I get her dressed. I hear Tommy cough, so I go in to see him and am met by a room full of feathers. Mummy's little darling got a pair of scisf sors and cut up a pillow. Now the three of us are Outdoors, swing' ing. Soon the clock strikes five and time for supper. Janie doesn't like potatoes so she decides to throw them at Tommy. The food is gone, the dishes done, and there's Mummy. Were the children good? she asks. Oh, yes, I reply. Wow derful. Now I'm home recuperating from my af- ternoon's fun. MAUREEN DANE '47 WHY PARENTS GET GRAY When I recall my childhood days of so long ago, I chuckle to myself to think of some of the amusing incidents that oc' curred. One recollection in particular en' tertains me. I was about five years old. My mother called me for supper. As I sat down, I did not fail to notice a delicious chocolate pudf ding, and my mouth watered. Father prof ceeded to fill my plate with carrots, steak, potato, and spinach. I began to pick at the steak, I ate none of the carrots and just a small amount Of spinach. Mother said, Brown, you haven't touched those carrots, and you know you must eat them before you can have your dessert. I squirmed and mumbled sulkily, I dOn't like carrots. My father interrupted firmly with, Well, you are going to eat them just the same. I retorted saucily, I don't tell you what to eat, do I? At that moment a large hand reached me. I jumped from the table and ran to my room, slamming every door as I went. In seclusion I made my future plans. I'd show them. I'd run away and then they would be sorry, and when they had huntf ed for years and cOuldn't find me, my fa' ther would die of a broken heart. I dragged out my suitcase and began to pack. After Hnishing this, I went down and told my parents the drastic decision that they had driven me to. Then I put on my coat, took my suitcase, and left with great dignity. Five minutes later found mc standing on our front porch. I couldn't de- cide where to go! I stood there for ten min' utes more. I went back into the house, and my mother asked me if I was staying. I said, No, I just want a glass of water. After taking five minutes to drink my water, a magazine with colored pictures caught my eye. I asked if anyone would mind if I looked it Over. My father gave my mother a peculiar look and said it would be perfectly all right. SO I settled down in a big chair and poured over the pretty pictures for nearly an hour, until my eyes began to droop and my head to nod. At nine O'clOck mother announced casually that it was time to retire. Her daughter went out On the porch, got her suitcase, hastily scurried to bed, and I don't think Mother ever heard any more from me about running away--or about refus- ing vegetables either! FLORENCE MORRELL '47 1947 YEAR BOOK CONCERNING PIANO LESSONS Maybe some of you intellectual and clever people from Chelmsford High would like to take up music for a hobby or some other reason. Well, l'll tell you a few of the things I know about it that might enf courage you a bit. In the first place it helps to have a pi- ano, or need I mention that. It's usually better for you if half the notes don't play, so you can blame something for the poor lessons you will present each and every week during your period of instruction. In the second place the teacher is very important, vital in fact. Be sure you get a good one, the fatter the better, for the fat ones fall asleep more often and don't hear as many mistakes. If hy good luck you are successful in engaging such a one, make sure the piano bench is extra sturdy please, as I once had a teacher who had a tough time with ours. He sat down a wee bit too hard, but I needn't go on about that-it's beside the point anyway. Just draw your own conclusions. In the event that you're allergic to fat people, go to the other extreme and get a young, handsome, and slender young man, unmarried naturally. Then one day while you are resting after a strenuous workfout with the Warsaw Concerto, he might ask you what you're doing Saturday night. Usually this won't happen, for you'll prob- ably never get beyond the scales in D, but you can dream anyway. After you procure a teacher, he sure to arrange a good day for your lesson, prefer' ably one a year hence, for scales are ter' ribly complicated to learn. I can still ref member all the times I had to untie my fingers. They knot so easily! But the best part of the piano lessons is practicing. I can still recall my happy child' hood when I used to spend my happiest hours at the piano. There's nothing quite so nice as practicing when the day is simpf ly beautiful and all your friends want you to come out. It's astonishing that you real' ly want to practice! What else can you do when your mother is standing over you with a firm expression about the mouth and a fierce glint in her eyes? Probably by now you are ready to push right home and announce that you would simply adore taking piano lessons. If things shouldn't turn out as well as I have said, by all means don't blame me. The only thing to do is quit and take up something else, the violin, perhaps. I'm sorry I can't tell you about that, but you won't mind, l'm sure. My only advice is tuck it under your chin. VIRGINIA BILLINGTON '47 HOW TO COME IN LATE AT NIGHT Of course your boy friend's car can be heard for miles down the street. Let it rum' ble to a stop with aloud screech on the sidewalk in front of your house. Shout uproarious goodbyes to the crowd just to let everyone know what a good time you have had, and make sure you bang the car door. By this time every light in every house on the street is lighted. Be sure to drag your feet up the sidewalk, making plenty of clatter. Open the front door noisily, and if it is stuck, just kick it a few times and slam it shut when you get in' side. - It is next in order for you to storm into the kitchen. It's only 2:30 A.M. by the clock, and since the evening is young, you open the refrigerator door, and rattle the dishes and milk bottles freely. You eat your little snack and clump up the stairs to bed. The end of a perfect evening is also the end of all your perfect evenings. Mother awoke-how could she?--Ato find you were two hours late! MAR,IoRIE WIIITE '47 PURPOSE The purpose of life is growth. A seed is so strong it can split boulders and push up concrete walks, but like all living things it thrives best under certain conditions. The first requirement for flourishing seed is good soil, in which there must be includf ed all the essentials of growth. In this nourishing soil the seed is placed. If it is planted too deeply, it rotsg if it is planted too close to the surface, it will be burned by the sun. It must be placed at just the right depth. Once the seed is sown, it starts to grow. Now it must have care. It must have water, sunshine, and air to combine with the elements in the soil to make food acceptable to its growth. When the plant CHELMSEORD HIGH SCFHOOL has grown so it has a few leaves, the ob' jectionable weeds must be removed, for they tend to choke its growth. Finally, aff ter much care and trouble, the seed blosf soms and bears fruit. As with the plant, so it is with people. The home into which we are born is like the soil in which the seed is planted. Books, teaching, and all patient instruction are our water, sunshine, and air. Eventually, if we grow well, life blossoms for us into some' thing fruitful and fine. This is the end of life, and to this end our efforts are bent. GEIIRCIE MERRILL '47 BUSSES Convenience and comfort, is a famous slogan of bus companies. Sure, that is a good idea, I decided. Con' venience and comfort, why not? Since it was necessary that I go to Lowell, I def cided to take the bus instead of arguing for the family car. So I started down to the bus stop, wondering how long I would have to wait for comfort and convenience to come along. I waited, and waited, and waited. Finally after twentyffive minutes of standing, first, on one foot and then on the other, the bus jolted into view. I was tired from standing, and my feet ached, and I thought to myself what a welcome relief a nicely upholstered seat would be! Imagine my surprise and chagrin when I turned around after paying my fare, to discover that there were no vacant seats! I lurched to the back of the vehicle and clung desperately to one of the hangers that dangle so deliriously from the roof of every bus. We went our uneven way, around dizzy corners and over holes and bumps. It seemed as if we dropped off a cliff every time we hit a frost heave. We stopped at every door step to pick up passengers. We started, we stopped, we started, we stopped all the way until we got into the city, and every time we stopped, we stopped with a jerk, and every time we started the bus was more crowded than before. I was pushed, trampled upon, kicked, and elbowed all the way. When at long last I reached my des' tination, a lot of pushing and shoving, which I now secretly enjoyed, won for me an exit. No, I won't try to explain how it was coming home, for that would be too much, but if this is what the bus companies refer to as comfort and convenience I would much prefer to walk, thank you. LESTER FLETCHER '47 THE DENTIST AND I After sitting in the dentist's office for more than half an hour, my turn has final' ly come! I now find myself seated in a large, roomy, black leather chair above which hangs a huge light extending from the ceilf ing. Placed on a white tray in front of the chair are the various odd looking instruf ments to be used in the approaching or- deal in which I am to play a major part. There at the left is the instrument that the dentist holds dearest to his heart. This is called a drill, and what a bore that thing is! Suddenly I wish I had taken an aspirin, two aspirins, morphine-anything! I have never been able to account for the pictures every dentist has tacked up on his wall. Why he selects humorous subjects and enjoys looking at decayed and def formed teeth is too much for me to under' stand and personally I have never found anything either soothing or encouraging in displays of Xfray irregularities, or in exhif bitions of false teeth. Here comes that man in the white coat now and he seems to be in quite a hurry. I must be cool, and collected, and I am to keep my eyes closed. Peeking out under halffclosed eyelids, I see the long needle he has made ready for me. You just can't imagine how this makes me feel! The man apparently gets a big kick out of punching holes in people's gums with it! I seem to be the only one who feels reluctant about the whole affair. Well, what a relief, that's over with! Now for the drill! I can see where I'll be here for hours. There's something about the noise of the fiendish contraption that fascinates its operator. Too bad he isn't privileged to try it on himself once in a while. I am really growing quite vicious. I truly wish the dentist were in my place, and I in his. I The fellow even proves to be quite a chemist! He is now putting some silver 1947 YEAR Book crystals into a small machine that grinds the crystals into powder. As you can see, there's no end to his abilities! Now that he has his substance prepared, he proceeds deliberately and forcibly to fill the man-sized cave that he has dug out of my back molar, and I mean forcibly! The job is now complete, except for some nasty tasting mouth wash. Boy, what an experience! ' And to think that after my going through all this, the man has the nerve to ask me for money in return for his services! And more than all else, he says cheerfully as I leave, I'll see you next Thursday at 10 A M IVIATILDA CAPuANo '47 MY GREAT FEAR People talk about fears. Most people have many apprehensions, and most of them are quite silly. My fear is my one and only, and it is far from being silly. Every two months we get our report cards, and there is never a sadder day at my house than that. Well, anyway, last marking period I got my card, and what I saw! Not one, not two, but three of the most beautiful F's you ever laid eyes on! That's one thing the teachers can do, make beautiful F's. They're always so-o-o neat and so-o-o well written. All I could think of was what my parents were going to say when they saw my card. I knew that they wouldn't appreciate the teacher's hard work to make those F's as I did! Wheii I got home, my father said, Hand it over, so that I did, unwillingly of course. One look was all that was need- ed. If you haven't guessed what my great fear is by this time, I'll tell you. Oh, you guessed? Yes, that's right. It's my father's right hand. LURRAINE Boucrisa '47 I LATE ARRIVAL lt was the night of the Senior dance. I had left my partner of the evening at her doorstep, after having observed all the formalities to which young gentlemen are heirs. I had danced all my duty dances, held her coat, helped her over two inch steps, stuffed my pockets with the customary lip- stick - handkerchief - rouge - powder puff - mascara - comb collection, fed her refresh- ments, and paid the proper number of usual compliments. It had been a wonderful eve- ning, and I drove through the town in an agreeable and hazy state of reminiscence. I was definitely pleased with myself. Sud- denly and without warning I was awakened from my happy retrospect by a single mel- ancholy note of the village church bell. One o'clock! and, in the midst of my recol- lections, growing to such dimensions that it overshadowed all else, loomed the memo- ry of my own voice saying, Yes, Dad. I'll surely have the car home by twelve. Although I had already exceeded the al- lotted time by an hour, I stepped on the accelerator. Luckily the house looked as peaceful as Grant's Tomb as I coasted noiselessly through the yard and in breath- less silence slid the car into the garage. Then, as luck would have it, alighting, I planted my large foot squarely on the cat's tail. Why felines always stick out their tails directly in the way of my advancing size tens, I never could guess. Fortunately, in spite of all, the house remained quiet and dark. My key slipped cautiously into the lock, and slowly and gently I pushed open the door. Oh! How I wished I had oiled those hinges the previous week as I had said I would! Climbing up the creaking stairs in stocking feet and with shoes in hand, and quaking at every stealthy step, I passed the closed door of Father's room and sneaked furtively into my own. No lights cast brightness on the familiar objects of my sanctum. In total darkness I dropped my clothes to the floor and crawled between the cold sheets, leaving even the windows undisturbed. Boy! that bed felt good, but I lay there wondering if I had succeeded in my burglar-like entrance, until, unknowing- ly, I fell into a deep, fitful sleep in which l was chased up and down innumerable stairways in my stocking feet by an out- raged bob-tailed cat! Now I know how Mickey the Dip or Mike McGurk feels when he has com- mitted some crime which goes undetected. Mother beamed at me the next morning. Father said pleasantly, Have a good time son? but at about that time son was feel- ing pretty small and saying with fervor to his innermost soul, Never again! ROBERT MORRISON '47 9 CHELMsFoRn HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS FOR GIRLS The most terrible thing that could ever happen to a girl is a course in physics, un- less she is one of the rugged modern indif vidualists. Learning the principles of the lever, the laws of motion, and the operation of a generator and a motor are, in my es' timation, not only nonessential, but imposf sible for a lady of the gentler type. Take me, for instance. I am definitely of the gentler sort. Why rack my brain a whole semester trying to realize that H: .2412Rt? Why should I understand fif I couldlj the four strokes of a gasoline en' gine? And what care I about measuring ref sistance with the Wheatstone bridge? Be that as it may, I signed up for the course, and in the natural order of events it comes time to do the assignment. I open my book and make a very determined effort to study. The diagrams swim before me, and technif cal words, such as armature, centrifugal, coulomb, eddy current, electvophoms, Fraunhofer lines, manometric flames, ophf thalmoscope, stereopticous, and synchrof nous motors so confuse and scare me that my few simple wits leave me in a complete mental void. As the book docsn't help me, I resolve to try the notes I took down in class, only to find I noted all the lesser facts and none of the important ones, and anyway I can't read what I do have. In desperation I go out to the garage to try to match the parts of the car with the diagram in the book. l crawl under the car, and when I gaze at it from the vantage point of a cold cement floor, there are so many nuts, bolts, screws, springs, gears, and so much grease withal on the eontrap' tion, I forget all about matching anything in my bewilderment. The nightmare of bolts pursues me to the very end of the day when I try to sleep, and my brain ref frolves as fast as the generator I'm supposed 'to know all about. In spite of all this, don't let me discourf age you, girls. But remember when you make out your program for next year, just skip over physics, that is, unless of course, it is your most secret and most cherished ambition to become a professional grease monkey! MARY MULCAHY '47 SPEAKING IN JUNIOR ASSEMBLY Nervous excitement can be caused in many ways. To me the surest way is speak' ing before an audience. Let me recall my experience in junior Assembly. The moment arrived. I had been an' nounced, and I bravely walked to the rosf trum. I was now before the audience and I gave the name of my topic. I spoke in a clear voice. Good work, Jimmie, I thought to myself. Then it was time to start my oration. I saw eyes staring at me from below like a thousand gleaming daggers. I swallowed. My voice faltered and my knees began to shake. Somehow the most crucial point of my speech arrived. My nervousness increased. If I put my mind upon keeping my knees from knocking, my voice stammered and falteredg if I concentrated upon my voice, I found my self shaking like a tuning fork. My clothes felt like a clinging wet towel. I found myself eagerly but alas, too soon- saying the last few lines of my speech. Realizing my mistake, I started back over the regular course, hurrying until I again arrived at the longed for conclusion. I tried to put that ending over in the effective manner in which I had been coached, but it didn't work. ' After the horror was over and I had ref treated to my scat, I concluded that no ex- perience life could offer could ever be worse, and having endured such misery, no trial could ever be unbearable! To this day I have never altered that conclusion. JAMES WHITWORTII '47 BLUE SKIES Oh, glad we see blue skies break through The clouds so dull and gray, ' The clouds that just this morn we thought Would darken all our day. So through the clouds that fret the mind, The ray of hope shines bright, The sun of happiness breaks through And blue skies bless our sight. ARTHUR EDWARDS '47 1947 YEAR BOOK SKIPPIN G SCHOOL Everyone knows we break a rule, Whenever we fail to go to school. But Oh! what fun it is to bum A ride with an entreating thumb, To sit in some fine Cadillac, Against soft cushionsvrest your back, To leave the high school in a blurr NO bells, no noise, just the en'gine's purr! To be on your way to Fenway Park, And on a school day steal a lark, To think of study period four As some vague, dreamlike distant bore. To laugh, to be jolly, and have fun With nary a thought of the time to come. What care we for a mere detention Or even our parents' severest attention! Oh, what fun to break the rule To do the thing we shouldn't in school, It's playing with life as with a toy, It's part of the business of being a boy. ROBERT SWEET '47 ON WITH THE NEW My little car is growing old. Its mudguard's bent, its engine's cold. Many good times we've had together, In all sorts of seasons and all sorts of weather. But the '46 model sure looks nice, Although I'll pay a fancy price. So goodfbye little car with the squeaky brakes, I've bought a new car that's got what it takes. DONALD SIMM '47 REVENGE From Monday until Saturday- Five whole days in school! And all I come here for is so I wOn't grow up a fool. They make me work hard every night, They make me slave each day. I sure would get revenge on them. If I could have my way! The teacherslmake me work from spite And follow every rule, So just in spite to them I think I will become a fool! LINCOLN DEXTER SNOWFLAKES Pretty snowflakes falling down Spread a carpet on the ground. Out come shovels, mittens too, Lots of work for me and you. Blisters, aches, and groans of pain Call SlOan's from the shelf again, But though it brings me work and woe, I still can't help but like the snow. Evelyn Desmarais '47 NAIL POLISHING To keep nails shaped and polished Takes the patience of a saint. First you nicely file them down And then apply the paint. You try to close the bottle, Your finger slips and then- Oh! the trouble that you have To do that nail again! At last you put the cover on And reach to get the cotton. And that's the time you chance to see The nail you have forgotten. The bottle must be opened To paint that fatal nail. You make a very vague attempt And hope it dOesn't fail. Sometimes I really wonder Why I paint my nails at all, For when I'm done, I'm sure they look No better after all. Mary Mulcahy '47 CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL 'TEEN AGE We are now sixteen, that glorious age, When ambition soars high and far, So we grab the wheel, and gaily begin To ruin the family car. The latest beginner is all set to go, You must move over, Pa, And grit your teeth and endure the abuse That's handed the family car. We're off to the registry, awful place, With two dollars borrowed from Ma, And we'll scare pedestrians out of their wits, Showing off in the family car. ' RALPH Banc '47 THE MUTT There stretched before the fire Is a little ball of fluff That seems to have no eyes or nose, just like a powder puff. But if you care to listen, I'll tell you what I know, She's the little mutt at our house, Whose fur is white as snow. She's supposed to be a sheep dogg It's really a disgrace, For she couldn't even see the sheep For the hair that's in her face. We take her everywhere with us, On rides, and walks, and yet, She doesn't take to swimming, For fear that' she'll get wet. She makes a splendid watchdog With her loud and fearful bark, I pity any burglar Who meets her in the dark. She's won no bright blue ribbons And has no pedigree, Yet one thing I'm cock sure of -- She is the dog for me. VIRGINIA BILLINGTON '47 TO MY ENGLISH TEACHER I try to think of better Things to write about, But it's hard to think of topics When my mind is much in doubt. I could say that school's a bother, But that would doubtless bore, Because it's been repeated So many times before. I muse, I think, I ponder, But thoughtfulness won't aid me' Since I've been taking English A worried girl you've made me. 9 I concentrate and worry But ideas just won't come, I've practically decided That I am just plain dumb. I keep repeating things 'Til they're practically antique, Things I forgot this morning I only learned last week. I mull in my mind choice tid-bits, To try to find a theme, But it's absolutely useless, I'm walking in a dream. So though I know 'twill flunk me There's just one thing to do- Repeat that dear old standfby, I don't know what to do. MARILYN Piano MY BROTHERS SAX My brother owns a saxophone, A brand new acquisition, He thinks that shortly now I'Ie'll be a real musician. At night he goes up to his room And squats upon a chair, His sax he hangs around his neck And fills his lungs with air. The sounds he gets from that old sax The very ears offend, The boomps and toots jar every nerve And set the hair on end. E '47 just when my dad can stand no more, The solos quickly stop. It's well it ended as it did- I was about to pop! MILDRED FLYNN '47 1947 YEAR Booic WINTER We see winter come, And our hearts are lowg We dread the cold, And we hate the snow. Its stormy days Bring joy to none, And all of us long For spring to come. The sun is low, The streets are dark, And snow lies deep On the trees in the park. But soon our hearts Will begin to ring- We'll be so gay To welcome the spring! Tillie Capuano '47 LEARN BY MY EXPERIENCE When I arrive at eighteen past eight, I look at the clock and know I am late. To the principal's office for a slip I head, But as I step forth, my shoes feel like lead. I know what he will say, as I've heard it before, And my stomach feels sick as I reach the door. I sit on one of those stiff, hard chairs, And I say to myself a couple of prayers. Through the closed door I hear a sound, It seems that someone is moving around. The waiting seems like a million years, 'Til at the door Mr. Burns appears. He throws the questions left and right, But the bark is always worse than the bite. He says, All right, but this afternoon You'll report for a session in detention room. I'm lgack in my room and have faced my E-IIC, But I guess I had better stop being late! Donald Vayo '47 i SODA JERK l'm the redfheaded lad whom you will find Behind Frost's soda fountain. I can fix up a drink that's tasty and sweet, Or a sundae as big as a mountain. I can whisk up a frappe in the wink of an eye, Or an icy milk shake in a jiffy. I can set up a soda all bubbling with foam And a split that's exceedingly spiffy. I wash up the wishes and polish each glass, And the fountain I shine up with care. I sweep up the floor and dust every shelf, And tidy the place here and there. When no one's looking, I wait on myself, And the sundae I make is a treat. You may take it from me, I'm telling the truth, The job that I have is real sweet. Robert Dinnigan '47 HUNTING . When I go hunting, You can safely bet, Someone will ask me, How'd you get wet? I'm a brave, bold sportsman, But I always seem To wet my big feet In some little stream. I'm a treat for the eyes On a woodland flat In my snappy clothes And my nice brown hat. If you want to find me, You'll have to look hard, 'Cause I can get lost, In the littlest yard! When I'm hunting for birds, I look up at the sky- Once a twig hit me, Right in the eye. But when I go hunting- This isn't funny- I never even see A little bunny.
