On the sophomores and juniors, Miss Dewing debates, But we’re sure she thinks that we have some good traits. Miss Hodgdon hasn’t known us too long; But it didn’t take her long to learn our song. We’re crazy, and stupid—that we know; But won’t you miss us when we go? Arreta Emch ’5b SPRING FEVER - P.H.S. STYLE Wiggle, wiggle, twist and squirm Makes me think of a little worm. It’s very tiresome, I will agree, You’re bad off??? Wont- do you think ’bout me? I Open the windows a-way up high, And tnen all heave a great big sigh. We’re listless, dreamy, and ill at ease; The boys are more inclined to tease. Wo all fool .like skipping school , But linger on and only fool. We’ro waiting for the three o’clock bell, And then wo’ll rush out with a yell. That’s just F.H.S. with its Spring Fever I Suzanne Horskin ’56 SPRINGTIME Tho snow is slowly melting; The birds are coming back; A little bit more sunshine Is all that wc do lack. The flowers will soon bo blooming; Tho buds will be on the trees, Tho boys will bo playing baseball, A.nd the air will hum with boos. As wo sit in tho sc-hoolhouso And wish that it wore -Tunoj, We have to try to do our work; Commencement will bo soon. We hear tho children playing On the teeters and the swings, But wc are always dr- Ming ’Bout vacation and such things. Ramona Magnant ’57
