REFLECTOR A SMILE A smile is such a small thing, yet very big. It only takes a minute to smile and it may make the memory last forever. A smile costs nothing and gives a lot. It makes those to whom you have given a smile feel better without making those who smile any poorer. No one is so rich that he can get along without smiles. A smile brings happiness in the home and adds to your friendships. It helps in business and also helps those. who are sad, discouraged, and in trouble. A smile cannot be begged. It is something that no one else will enjoy unless it is given away naturally. Some people are too tired to smile. Give them a smile, for no one needs a smile as much as the one who has no more smiles to give. -BEVERLY VINCENT 'Q ASKING HER TO GO-THE FIRST TIME It's a hard thing--asking her to go. It wouldn't be so bad, if there weren't always a first time. My, this is going to be terrible. I'l1 just go up and ask her to go with me. But how should I go about it? What if she would say NOP She'd tell every- body and that would embarrass me so. I'll just wait a couple months before I go. But still I have to ask her sometime. There's the first time for everything, they say. I'll just go up to her and say, Would you go with me if I'd ask you? That way if ishe'd gay Nov she couldnit go around telling everybody that I asked her and she refused me. But you have to be nice around a girl, I suppose. You have to be different around a girl than a boy. I'm going up to her and I'm going to say, May I.take you home tonight? Here goes! Did I hear her right? I guess I did. She said Yes . O boy, that's over. Now what am I going to say to her while I'm taking her home. Oh why did I ever get in this mess? Oh I wish I'd never asked her. Oh me! Oh my! -PAUL DALE MYERS u There was a girl from Clay Hi, There was a boy named joe Who was always breathing a sigh Who always leaned on his hoe 'Till one day at last He fell in the dirt She sighed furious and fast And tore his shirt And up came her pie with a fly. And now he has a broken toe. -PHYLLIS CAGLEY -Bon SI-IIVELY There was a teaeher named Flossie There was a little boy named Bill People say she was rather hossy Doctor said he should take a pill She took her whip Up the pill Came And gave it a flip His dinner the same Now she's riding away on her h'ossie . And now Billy needs a re-fill. -GERVASE ANDERSON --WORKED our BY 8TH GRADE 36
