4 KEITH JUNIOR HIGH DSK BLAIR COUNTY P.T.A. MEETS Saturday, April the twenty-second, the Blair County Parent-Teachers Association met at D. S. Keith. The morning session began at 9:30 o'cIock and was in charge of Mrs. W. K. Stultz. The devotions were led by Rev. Harrity, and the assembly joined in singing several numbers. Greet- ings were extended, and the remainder of the program consisted of discussions and reports. Themeeting was adjourned at 12:30 for luncheon which was served in the Keith cafeteria. The afternoon session began at 1:30 with Superintendent R. E. Laramy pre- siding. The combined Parent-Teachers chorus was presented under the direc- tion of H. W. Lindaman. Following this, there was a discussion and then the Martinsburg Mothers Singers entertained with two numbers. After another dis- cussion, the convention became a ques- tion box. Parents and teachers were privileged to ask questions and they were discussed and answered by volunteer participants. The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 o'cloek. Dorothy Gorman, 9 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN WELFARE PARADE On April 24 seventy-five Keith students participated in a parade organized to raise funds for medical attention for children whose parents can not afford it. This welfare work is sponsored by the Blair County Poor Board. ' There are approximately one thousand boys and girls in this city who need glasses but whose parents cannot afford to get them. Their affliction, which in some cases might lead to blindness, will now be taken care of by the fund. Keith Junior High School feels it an honor to lend its aid to such a worthy cause. Catherine Crawford, 9 ADJUTANT RALPH MILLER ADDRESSES KEITH ASSEMBLY On Friday, March 20, 1934, the pupils of D. S. Keith were entertained by Adjutant Ralph Miller, the Division Secretary .of the Salvation Army. His topic of discussion was Character. His talk was so witty and clever that it made excellent entertainment. Some of the facts he mentioned were educational as well as witty. He stressed especially his point that the youth of today should read worthwhile books, rather than some of the modern worthless literature. Dorothy Faris, 9 STUDENTS MAKE VARIETIES SETTINGS The sets which added greatly to the beauty of the Varieties of 1934 were made and painted by the members of Mr. Smay's and Mr. Horton's craft clubs and a selected group of two hundred art students. The scenes were made and painted in the Craft Shop of the Keith School. The scenes included: The Hungarian arch overlooking a lake, the Venetian scene viewing St. Mark's and the Ducal Palace, the modern Manhattan scene, the Garden scene from the Blue Danube, the ragged and the satin slipper from the Pantomime. The stage sets are: the eagle shown with the Russian chorus, the horse and dogs from the hunting chorus, the jewel cas- ket, and the bows and arrows. The gauze scene from the Blue Danube was so large it was necessary to be made in the boiler room. The gauze was painted by a selected group of art students. Sidney Friedman, 9 VOCATIONAL TALKS GIVEN T0 THE N INTH GRADE During the school year ninth grade students indicated by questionnaires their choice of professional vocational courses to be taken in high school.

6 KEITH JUNIOR HIGH DSK HEMPRESS OF THE NIGHT Not quite emerged from the compact cocoon Just keep on struggling, and you'll be out soon. Beautiful Empress of the Night - You give my heart delight To see your wings of pale blue green With their glittering golden sheen. Go, lovely creature, from the old walnu tree. Oh you rare beauty! now you are free. I have been lucky to see such a sight The emerging and flight- of a. Luna iMoth. Dorothy 'Zediker, 9 A POETICAL TAIL In days of old When nights were cold, And I was but a kid I spied a tail, Just off the trail And this is what I did, I grabbed that tail, And with a rail I smashed his lid, I smashed his trunk, ! l ! ? ? Y ' Gee whiz, it was a skunk! Andrew Ritter, 9 1 FULFILLMENT An old tin can, In the dump it lay All dented and rusty and worm, People passed it day by day With naught but a look of scorn. Time was When the little tin can was new, All shiny and spic an' span 3 Its life was full, its sorrows few- It was a friend of man. But alas, one day the cook came along To prepare the midday meal. She took her can-opener, sharp and strong, And opened up the seal. The contents were to nourish man That life, he might sustain. But oh, with a toss, the little tin can Was thrown out into the rain. Along came a red-headed, freckled-faced boy- On fishing he was bentg He said, Oh, what luck! what joy! And into his pocket it went. With fat, juicy worms, he filled the can, To lure the Wiley trout- And thus again it served man Ere its short life went out. And now in the river mud it lies, And o'er a cool stream Hows, Hidden, unseen by human eyes It serves as a home for the minnows. SPRING FEVER I get a lazy feeling About this time of year Now that the flowers bloom again And all the birds are here It might be that I'm just happy At the end of winter drear But it's not-it's just spring fever. I have no interest now in school About this time of year It happens every year like this When days grow bright and clear It might be that I'm sorry That the end of it's so near But I'm not-it's iust spring fever. Beth Swope, 9 DAWN Dawn comes, Dawn goes, Then 'tis day, Day comes, Day goes, Then 'tis eve, Eve comes, Eve goes, Then 'tis night, And as purple shadows fall, 'Tis gone- Again the dawn. Betty Crilly, 9 THE STORM Darkening skies Widening eyes, Rain and mud, Storm and flood, Lightening and thunder, Horror and wonder, Bending trees, Changing breeze, Now howling winds The storm begins! TWILIGHT I I'm glad when the long day is over, And evening at last is here, For of all the hours of the day Twilight to me is most dear. For then all worlds completed The evening is stealing on, The sun sinks down behind the hills More radiant than at dawn. Fhere is time to recollect the day Fo separate the right from wrong, Be sorry for your weakness And vow to be more strong. Twilight at times is happy Again it is cloudy and sad Fwilight is the hour of quietness When to be living you're glad. The shadows begin to deepen The twilight hour is at end i But that hour may do much for you For trouble and sorrow it mends. Beth Swope, 9 BLACKNESS I look at you, and yet you seem, To hold no sympathy for me. You are so dark, and dank, and cold, No eheerfulness for me you hold I dread you when in caves I peer, For seeing nothing makes me fear. I hate you on a dark, hot night, When you do blacken everything that's light. I illuminate my spacious room, To bar you out, with all your gloom. You seem so -large, and vast to me And I shall always fearful be To you I'1l always turn my back For the simple reason that you're- black! William Hughes, 9 SPRING Spring To some Is happiness, To others Just restlessness, To still others - 'Worlds of complaint That somber pictures paint Spring To many Sunshine Bright as heaven's dome, Radiates from heart and home Live the- Happiness and sunshine For, by cheer and smile Life will be worthwhile.
