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.

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.
