Spring, Ho! Spring. Whither do you go, Spring? If you would but say, Spring, I would go there, too. Sally Miller What I Like Best I like the spring and fall, I like the cold and heat. But the very best of all, I like good things to eat. Sally Miller The View from the Lee Mansion As you stand on the porch of General Robert E. Lee’s house you look out over the Arlington Memorial Bridge which spans the shining Potomac and forms an entry-way to the Lincoln Memorial. If you happen to glance down, you see the classic marble Arlington Memorial Amphitheater in front of which looms up the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. You feel a lump in your throat as you stare at a sentinel who constantly marches back and forth. When you turn, you see the mast of the ““Maine.”” You stand there and think what an awe-stricken man Robert Lee would be if he could see this. As you prepare to leave, the soldiers and sailors of the ee Cemetery seem to rise up against the setting sun and pay homage to this pier place. Gloria Frank Eleven

One time my brother said to me, “Why don’t you play ball,” said he, Ya’ Sissy “Why don’t you play football times Instead of church with all its chimes? “Instead of dolls and houses and things, Why not play pirate, brave an’ bold And bride and horses that have wings? Ya’ Sissy!” id Gols ic Ten Instead, it’s only dolls you hold! Nancy Ann Pence Telephones If there weren’t any things like telephones, I wonder what we would do. We'd walk a mile to see a friend When we got there, say ‘“‘adieu.’ , If there weren’t any things like telephones, We couldn’t call New York. We'd have to go on a bumpy train, That jolts out of your hand your fork. But we have this thing in this age now; So why worry about it and fret? I’ve never seen a well-built home That hadn’t a telephone, yet. Katharine Anderson If I Were a Tree If I were a tree, Great and strong, Pd hold up my branches All day long. I'd like the spring, When my leaves would be green. Pd not like the winter, For Jack Frost is mean. Only [Pm not a tree. What shall I be? Ariel Tatman LG A busy year, 1936, All full of tragedies, laughter and tricks. Roosevelt has just been elected again, He'll go down in history with other famous men. Great Britain, you know, has just had three kings. It. hopes for no more deaths, abdications or such things. Spain has been having a civil war, And few people know exactly what it’s for. Italy and Germany have been getting arms ready, They'll have an army and navy that’s steady. We greet 37 with hope and with fear, But just at the moment, Happy New Year!

| | } | | The Bluebird I am always on the wing As I fly, I like to sing. Many a beautiful sight [ve seen, Up above the tree-tops green. When spring comes I choose my mate, And together we go to meet our fate; Thick and thin and thin and thick, Together we will always stick. So we build our cozy nest Of sticks and string and all things best, Then come the babies soft and small, Happy and healthy, dear ones all. Zoe Ann Macaulay The Brave Puppy One fine autumn morning when a nice breeze was blowing, the three Smith children decided to spend the day out in Jimmy’s motor boat. Jimmy had just gotten it and was anxious to try it out. The children were soon ready to go, Jimmy, Dickie and Alice, and their new police puppy, Sport. “Now, children,” said Mr. Smith, ‘“‘be sure to get home early, and come right home if it starts to storm.” “We will,’ promised the three children and set off in their boat. 2 It was about noon when Dickie said, “I think we’d better land on South Island and eat lunch ’cause we have to get home early.” “All right,” agreed Jimmy, and he steered to the island. After their lunch was eaten and they had packed their basket, they lay down to rest. Scon after they were all asleep, when Alice felt a drop of water on her nose. She woke with a start and called, ‘““Boys, wake up, it’s starting to rain.” The boys jumped up and got the boat ready, and they all piled in. Half way home the motor went wrong, and the wind started to blow with such force that the boat rocked and swayed. Then the wind blew them the other way until they found themselves at the point of being cast on the other side of the island. When the boat was in shallow water, the two boys got out and pulled the boat up on shore. “How’'ll we get home?” asked Alice. “We aren’t good swimmers.’ “Let’s try sending Sport home,” replied Jimmy. “T’ll tie a note to his collar and he’ll take it to Dad. Then Dad will come and get us.” He took Sport in his arms and tied the note to his collar. “Go home,” he said, and put him in the water. The puppy set out, paddling with all his might, and was soon lost to view. In half an hour, the three saw a boat coming toward them. In it was their father, mother, and the puppy, very wet and very proud that he helped save them and earned a place in the family. Sally Miller Twelve
