YOUNC-ER SISTERS What good are younger sisters when You're down and out or need a friend? When work around is to be done, . They're out of sight at the count of one They always know the latest news, Your clothes and makefup they abuse. The two I have are pests, you see, I'm glad I have just two, not three. Theresa Vcnnard '47 ABSENTEEISM When you have been absent from school, Your reception is definitely cool. To get out of a session, You must bring a confession. I'm sorry, old chap, it's the rule! Norman Johnson '47 LINES BY A DRUMMER When 1 go out each Wednesday night With Abrahamson's band, My mother has to wait and put My snare drum in my hand. When all the people have gone home The leader counts our gains, But I just sit down and rest because I've just beat out my brains. 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. But no one can say it isn't my best, And after all, I gotta have rest, There'll be many a trial as life's road I roam- But the hardest of all is writing a poem. 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. I don't like washing wood work And ironing makes me tired, And if I were a house maid, I suppose I'd just get fired. I despise the vacuum cleaner, I say, I'll do no chores! 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! Robert Dinnigan '47

CHELMSFORD HIGH Sc.HooL WINTER SKATING Blades afringing! Hearts aglow! Bonfires gleam on ice and snow. Voices singing! Echoes clear! Merry laughter full of cheer. It's Winter! EVELYN FLAVELL JUDY I love to look at Judy She is so fair and blond, Of her eager eyes and teasing ways I'm growing very fond. In fact I just love Judy, She is my dearest friend. 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
