SUMMERTIME A Group-poem of the English 4 Class of Parker High School, Clarence, N. Y. Teacher Miss Katherine P. Cornish Summertime Vacation from school. No homework. Hot days. Locusts singing. Swimming in the creek. Swimming at the pit with all my friends. Swimming with the hot sun heating down on you. Swimming. Suntan and sunburn. (Painful, sometimes.) Summertime— Time to rest the brain and use the muscles. Making hay, reaping grain, drawing in wheat. Who will cut the grass? Working at home and getting very hot and bothered” over it. Canning time, washing on the line. Pulling weeds from the garden with sand in my shoes. Summertime— Nice weather, longer days, more time for en- joyment. Vacation trips. Camping. Fishing. Baseball. Badminton. Tennis. Crystal Beach. Summertime Summer comes after Spring. June, July, August. Third cycle of the year. Going to church on a sunny Sunday morning. Long afternoons in which to read and sleep in the hammock. Sitting on the front porch in the evening. Warm dark nights with crickets chirping. Summertime— Beautiful scenery. Greenness of world. Blue water standing very still. Blue water and white caps. The humming, peaceful sounds that fill the warm breeze. Birds, wild flowers found in the woods. Cumu- lus clouds. Skies afire sunrises and sunsets. Summertime— Thunderstorms. 1 like to see the rain fall, to watch it pour. Then I shudder when the thunder roars. If at night, I bury my head beneath my pillow and quilts. If during the day, I keep myself busy so as not to worry about the thunder. Thunderstorms. Rainbows after. Summertime What to wear? Few clothes. Girls in bright-colored playsuits. Boys with brush cuts. Sun glasses. Shorts. White trousers. Evening tux and long dresses. An up hair-do. Summertime— Ice cold lemonade. Iced tea. Ice cream sodas. Fresh strawberry shortcake, orchards of apples, pears. Marshmallows and wiener roasts in the neigh- bor's cornfield. I wonder if the cherries arc ripe on the tree down the lane? Pepsi-Cola. Summertime— Summer makes me just glad to be alive. Vacation from schtxil and little to do but relax and take it easy. My brother's birthday. A party in the front yard. Long talks with Mommie when no one but her is around to hear what I say. I'm home when the mail comes. Summertime— Gershwin's song. Convertible windows wide open. Nights in the park. Time for weddings. Happiness. Love. Fourth of July. Picnics. Firecrackers. Going to Silver Lake with our Epworth League and the fellowship we enjoy there. Summer—best time of year! T wenty
