A poetry contest, sponsored by the “E” Magazine, and judged by the high school English teachers, was won by Patricia Lucas, a Freshman from register 307. “THE WONDERS OF NATURE” Nature is such a wonderful thing, You can tell by the seasons of summer and spring. The flowers that bloom and the plants that grow, Have a certain something that makes them so. Like winter and fall, when trees are bare, When the frost is on them, who put it there? And the other things that look so pure, You know who made them—Mother Nature. Each little thing that is everywhere, The fish in the sea or the birds in the air, They all have a tale of pleasant surprise, That can only be seen with inner eyes. So stop for a while, stop to think— Why Nature is in the water you drink! Look at the sky, glance at the ground Such a beautiful sight when Nature’s around.

Major E” Winners FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, GROSS COUNTRY This group of boys is the backbone of the school. Without them Emerson would be just an¬ other school, but with them we have a school represented by fine teams in all sports; football, basket¬ ball, track, cross-country, and baseball. This is really something, because a school’s fame is usually synonymous with the fame of its athletic teams. These boys aren’t only athletes, but they are leaders, scholars, and, most of all, Men. They have reached the goal which should be the goal of every boy entering high school. That goal is to win an emblem in a varsity sport. It is impossible for everyone to get a major emblem, only the cream of the crop can get them. Every boy should at least try to win one because for all he knows he is the cream of the crop. Unfortunately, not all of the boys were available when the picture was taken.
