Genevra Lorish. TWO LITTLE CAT-TAILS Said one little cat-tail to his brother, “I’m sick of this marsh and our cross old grandmother, Let’s you and me go to some beautiral lake; I'm just longing a trip to take. At night when all the marsh was still, Tom Cat-tail said to his brother Bill, “T agree with you my smart little brother, We'll make our departure now under cover.” But alas! what a disappointment the trip did prove, For Tommy and Billy couldn’t move! Genevra Lorish. LITTLE WOMEN Reckless, topsy turvy Jo, Whose slang would start Meg lecturing so, Her heart was set on writing books, And not a thought about her looks, Our laughable, lovable, funny old Jo. Peaceful, quiet, loving Meg, Often called by sisters, Peg — With lovely eyes and golden tresses, She dearly loved gay, pretty dresses. Dear little Beth in her tranquil way She very much loved to sing and play, She was very shy, kind, and poor, dnd always did just as she should. Amy’s pug nose was her worst trial, When she tried to be good it was well worth the while. Most all that she wanted was fame For her drawings and paintings were not at all plain. Laurie, Marmee, and Mr. Laurence, too, Helped make the book interesting all the way through. Janet Louise Forbes. Page 11

SACHS ALICE IN WONDERLAND Alice went to “Wonderland” And what she saw was just too grand: There were the King and Queen of Heatts, And the Knave who stole the tarts; The Duchess was glum and fat, With her baby on her lap, Who always sang, “Wow, Wow,” And turned into a pig, right now; There was also the Cheshire cat, You never knew where he was at; And Tweedledum and Tweedledee Who were as fat as fat can be; IF I WERE A BIRD If I were a bird, I’d fly away, Fly up in the sky so blue, Id fly all day and when evening came, I'd rest in the shiny dew. I'd fly ali over the country-side And drink from the murmuring stream, And in the evening, when the shadows fall, Fd see the dew like diamonds gleam. And then I'd go high up in the air Up into the sky I'd soar, And then I'd open my mouth and sing And be happy ever-more. ‘ Lois Hainsfurther. The Mock-Turtle who was crying and sad, And the Hatter who sulked and was al- ways mad; The Griffin was always lazy and slow, The White Rabbit who was hurrying to go To the court of the King and Queen For the trial that was just to begin; And last of all but not the least, Was the March Hare, an upsetting beast, These are the Folk of Wonderland Don’t you think they’re just too grand? Lois ]. Hainsfurther. A THANKSGIVING SONG On a day long, long ago A sound of singing rang over the snow, For they were giving thanks to God For what they had grown on His sod. Their small log cabins have been replaced By skyscrapers high and tall, But in thankfulness we still face Our Father, Lord of all. So through the years we've set aside A day our thanks to give To show we have produced Upon the earth on which we live. Marjorie Griffin. Page 13
