ART OF COMPUISING Once upon a day so deary, While I was in English four To my ears came this, Now dearie, You will write or be no more. While I pondered, Weak and weary Over Wozds I had before, I had a thought it came ao clearly, And then did vanish evermore. First my mind would think of English Then I'd glance up at the doorg In came teacher with a swish And the thought would be of yore Can it be that I'm too stupid, Or is teacher just too mean- I don't want to write of Cupid Like the poets I have seen. Like a flash a thought came to me Like a bird on silver wing, Of the sheep herding in the valley, Of a maiden about to sing. To me it seemed so light and lovely, So beautiful, I wanted to shout, The only thing that bothered me How was I going to get it out? -Marjorie Simpson A-CLASS This senior class in Fairfield High Will never be outdoneg I've never seen a bit of work Out of a single one. And what a class, this senior class Of nineteen-forty-two. They've never done a bit of work, I'll bet they never do. They sleep around, then go to class And think up an excuse, And even in our English class They say, Oh, what's the u:e ? This senior class will always rate All through their life, the bestg For energy enough they ll have- They've had their share of rest. -Max Simmons. , Jimmy ICurry: I just shot a dog. Hazel Harris: Was he mad? Jimmy: Well, he wasn't ver Y pleased.
