' -54 BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD Hiking down a New England road one warm summer day, Sam Walter Foss stopped to rest in the shade of a great tree. Near him on ths-opposite side of the tree, he spied a plain board fence, thickly overgrown with a profusion of leafy bushes that gave a cooling effect. There was a sign on the fence: THERE IS A SPRING INSIDE THE FENCE. DRINK IF YOU ARE THIRSTY. Foss climbed over, found the spring and drank deeply of the refreshing water. Beside the spring there stood a rugged bench, which bore another sign: SIT DOWN AND REST IF YOU ARE Beside the bench was a card reading: IF YOU HELP These invitations eagerly a old man watching a kindly-faced Seeing the embarrassment of the nYou see, water is going to waste, and Wu wo could get thirsty travellers friend, my wife TIRED. basket of apples, on which was a LIKE APPLES, YOURSELF. ooepted, Foss presently saw him with friendly interest. visitor, the old man explained nd I own this place, and the thought it would be nice if to stop and drink some of it. Then, this is a pleasant spot to rest in, and we had this old bench up in the attic whore it was doing nobody any good, so I fetched it down here. Right now we've got more apples than we can use, and we felt it would be a satisfaction to us to share them with others, So I put up the signs and,H ho added, with a twinkle in his eye, as Foss was burying his teeth in a large juicy apple, Uthey seem to be doing some little good.W This was the inspiration for Sam Walter Foss to write the familiar lines: Let me live in a house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by-- The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the cynic's bang Lot me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man.

.55.. THE GIRL'S CLUB On April 15, 1958, a large group of girls met in the study hall under the direction of Wanda Templin to form a girl's club. We decided to call our group the WClarksburg Checkers Club.W I The purpose of the club is to provide for an improvement of leisure time, for a development of hobbies, and the promo- tion of sportsmanship and good citizenship. Mr.'Green was elected as counselor, and the following officers were elected: President, Joan Graham, Vice President, Maribel Speakmang Sec- retary-Treasurer, June Faye. V A council of seven was appointed to make the constitution and by-laws of the club. This council is composed of Maxine Carter, Norabelle Adams, Mary Ellen Dawson, Nell Martin, Carol Trego, Jean Eycke, and Edna Sommers. We decided that the club would be open on Thursdays from 7:50 to 10100 P. M. and that dues would be five cents a week. Through the efforts of the members of the club, the Nlit- tle white housen west of the high-school building, is being transformed into a club room. With the money paid for dues, we hope to buy a ping-pong table and other equipment. THE WAY TO A FRIEND Have you ever wondered how a friend could be foundg A friend who'd be with you when the rest turned you down. Then I have a secret that you must all know, It's a treasure that fortunes can't buy. For I know a place where we all can go, with a smile, a tear, or a sigh. There's a house by the corner with the light shining dimg That shines to you, Wwelcome, my friends, come in.W There's a way to a friend that never will fail, To one who always is true, It's a beautiful path, but an old-fashioned tale, Which tells of my friendship with you. 4
