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

THE GOSSIP 33 THE LIBRARY The librarians of Dennysville High School are Joan Antone, Barbara Brown, and Irene Dudley. They check the books in and out, besides collect- ing dues and books. This year they have accessioned the books. Phyllis Rogers was the librarian the first semester. During the year seventy- five dollars was spent on books. The beautiful covers of the books attract- ed much attention, and the students eagerly awaited for their turn to check out a book. We are indeed for- tunate to have twelve or more maga- zines and a daily paper for the school. THE PEP SQUAD The cheerleaders of the Dennys- ville High School were very active at all the games.

All the school cooperated splendidly and made a fine showing of enthusiasm at all games here. SELECTION OF RED DEVIL AS EMBLEM Everyone in the school had a choice for an emblem for the school. Many suggestions were made, and the three that had the most votes were voted for. Nearly all the votes went to the Red Devils, so the Red Devil is our school emblem.
