THE Gossip . Round their cups the humming bird's wing, Flashes like a jeweled thing, Sounding his low, fitful tune, Revelling in the sweets of June. Charles Hobart '49 It t It if Third Honorable Mention SCHOOL TESTS Tests aren't very easy Tests aren't very hard, But when we come to do them, We're always on our guard. We don't like English, We don't like Civics We've got to do them, So we'1l use our common sense. First there's a quiz,, Then there's a test, Then there's this and that, Oh dear! Never any rest. Now I'll end my story About these crazy tests And when We do them We'll all do our best. Gloria McDonald '49 it 1 ll 1 Fourth Honorable Mention THE WHITE HOUSE Listen to my poem And I will tell, Of that beautiful White House Which we know so Well. And if my poem You do not like, Tuck it away Somewhere out of sight. The house is of A brillant White, The trees all around W Are a pretty sight. ,J A The trees are of A pretty green, The most beautiful Ever seen. The dome of the White House Stands silent and white, It seems to us Like a guiding light. The pool out back Is a pretty blue, The people that swim there Are friendly and true. The flag hangs high Above the door, To guide the soldiers Coming home once more. The chairs are either White or yellowg Each is filled with A pretty smart fellow. The lawn is so, Prettily mowed, 9 The flowers are So evenly sowed. When the flowers Are in bloom, l They smell to me Like lilac perfume. The grounds all around Are like fairy landg In Washington, D. C. The White House stands. Joan Antone '48

30 THE GOSSIP Jane was too frightened to move and the fire-engine hit her. As luck would have it the truck knocked her out of the way and left' the limp body lying on the side walk. By that time quite a crowd was gathered there and people were yell- ing and pushing, but after a while the cops had Jane out of the crowd and into an ambulance. She was rushed to a hospital and examined immediately. She had a large cut on her right leg and was badly shaken up, but there were no serious injuries. When she regained consciousness, the first thing she asked about was the little girl whose life she had saved. The doctor told her she was fine and told her to look in the bed beside her. To her surprise she saw the little girl with a bandage around her head. She looked very white and sick. Then the doctor told Jane what a brave little girl she was to have saved the child. Jane's heart swelled with pride to think she had endangered her life to save a small child who wasn't large enough to Rik after herself. Janet Leighton '48 Sk Dk Pk 41 First Prize-Poetry THIS YOUNG GENERATION A whole lot -of trouble's been taken, it seems And paper's been wasted by sheets and by reams, And folks have protested with shouts and with screams, What shall we do with our young genera- tion? 'he newspapers cry it, No one will deny it, But will someone tell why it Is so, as we are the young generation? Our elders forget that they were young once, They're now dutiful, helpful, daughters and sons, But, were they always so stiff in their fun, As they'd have us, their young generation? But aside from all of this fuss, They are really glad to have us, And do you know it could be worse, Then being this young generationn? June Kilby '46 llllliil First Honorable Mention as 4: fr 4- THE ECHO Hello? Hello? Listen to the echo. Near at hand it seems. Might be by the river's stream. Hello? Hello? Listen to the echo. The echo I cannot find. It is ahead, might be behind. I've looked by the brook and lane.. But it only disappeared again. Hello? Hello? Listen to the echo. I'll find it some day soon, For I'll call from dawn 'till noon. Hello? Hello? Listen to the echo. Martha Sanford '46 ir t l It Second Honorable Mention 'I'I-IE FIELDS IN JUNE Can a lovelier spot be found, Anywhere the wide earth round, Than the fields beside the way. On this beautiful June day. Lightly as the breezes pass, Sways the tall green grass, As the blue waves on the sea, When the winds are blowing free. Covered o'er with pretty flowers, Children of the summer hoursg Never fairies' jewels shone Round the fairy monarch's throne.
