SPEECH 1 When I get up in front'of the class, To make an oral speech, ' My knees become all wabbly, And my nerves begin to screech. And then I try to convince myself That they are just as I, ' And though they all make an oral speech, Prefer to curl up and die. But here I am in front of the class, . N My face is just like a beet, ' X And as I just have to make this speech, I'll make it short and sweet. ' Now I must face the audience, All in their own places, ' And all up and down in solid rows, Are faces, faces, faces. Now's my title, and then I begin, The sentence sounds no good, ' ' And though I try to hold them, 'tis vain, For the words come in a flood. I stumble through from start to finish, ' My face is hot and burningg Now I can go back to my own desk For which my heart is yearning. I reach my desk so shamed and forlorn-- Where are those scornful leers? Why doesn't the teacher send me from class? For whom are all those cheers? They're all saying, NThat is just greatu, Wwhat a soeech sho madein ' Nell! I 'just sit down in great amaze, ,,, To let my color fade. , --Patricia Reames, '58 ' 2'- . 2 1 es--as-4:-4:-mes-4+.-se-es-s+-es-4:-ae.-w-as--u'-ez-+5-.'e-41-Je-4s-n-at -3- 44- 41- if a 4, 4 43 114 -

I had it nicely strung up when WHDOSH it fell down again. There was Little Junior cutting rocks with my knife. He had also cut the rope of the tent. When I had finally got it put up and had started the fire, NZZZZZZZZHW, fmfty thousand mosqritoee start- ed in on me. I bet they raised welts the size of eggs. I was growing extremely miserable when I looked over and saw Junior -Little Junior, littte no Lara. Ha was absut twice his normal slzc and growing every minute from mosquito bites. I sat down and laughed and laugh- ed. It was sn funny seeing that little pest getting pestored. It was the next up math the funniest there anduHW0W-up I morning that he got oven. I woke fGGllHg in my neck. I reached up jumped. There was a snake the size of a hoe handle around my neck. As I dashed out of the fell in a tub of mud. After I had tent, I txinped and spent about three hours washing myself, I got out only to find my clnthef all tied into knots. I spent the next half-hour untieing them. After this slight mdshap we decided to go fishing. I trudged slowly and painfully tcwards the pier, Junior sittlng astradle of my neck, kicki1g me ln the ribs, tnrowing rocks at every thing in slght, which included two deputy game wardens. When we had finally talked the game warden out of arresting us for destroying pub- lic yxopsrty, we got into the boat and rwwed out to the middle of the lake to fish. 'Just as we were getting comfortably situated, Junior, who wusfstnrcjng on the front of the boat jumping up'and down, fell in My companion rushed to save him, but I told him to let the little Wbratn stay in and cool off for awhile. About a minute later, as I thought he was growing weak, I ' reached over to help him in. He then climbed aboard, an when I tried to get aboard he stamped on my fingers. Finally my compaion held him and I climbed aboard. This, another one of those small events, ended'our fishing trip. I rowcd ashore, packed, and went home vowing never again to go fishing unless by myself. --Harry Frederick, '38 113 -Q -q n -Q n . A d 4.4545-M4649'3+'X-if-45M6555-11--32'3!

They wrs just runty and no-'count at tall. One day he sez to me he sez, 'Abner, I guess as how yew hed better to take keer o' the gynrden this yeer. They jest sin't no sense in me e tryin' ag1n.'W Nwel, naow, yew know, son, I knowed wut wus the metter with them vegytables. It weren't their fault they eudn't grow. The soil jest wesn't no good. I made up my mind that I'd fix it up swell. I got e lot of stuff together end mixed it up real well and spread it all over the ground. And yew know -------------- W WEh? Oh, no, I cein't remember wut wus in that stuff I mixed up. Yew see I'm purty old and my mem'ry is kind of dull-like. Wal, as I was e sayin', I planted a lot of vegyteble seeds of all kinds. Within two days them vegy- tables were as big as they gen'e1ly is in six weeks. Purty soon they were so big that I begun to get worried. I busted two shovel handles e tryin' to dig me some per- taters. Finally I borried the steam-shovel from the ce- ment-plant and dug all my vegytebles that growed under the ground. I didn't know wut to do with 'em, so I cut 'em inter pieces with an cross-cut saw and gave ever'body in town some. My lettuce and cabbages were so big thet they hed to be cut with a scythe. I had to sew each leaf off sepfrftely and then out them into smaller pieces so they cud be used. And say! my strawberries, they was so big thft they looked like greet big apples. Them there things were only pert of wut I growed that year. I don't went yew to be too astounded neow, so I'l1 tell yew fbout my other vegytebles sum other time. Nwhat? 0h,no,sir, I certinly d1dn't raise any gay- arden like that agin.n Wwhy, Wal naow yew know, son, I'm kinder ashamed to tell yew this. I was 17 that year and nat'al1y strong and healthy, but yew know it plumb tired me out so much a packin' water to them vegytebles that I ain't never been able to do a lick o' hard work since, and me a 101 years old last Setidy.N --Helen Dorman, '37 ..
