june195'1 GWYNNONIA 51 IP? ICD IIE 'IPS Ku ., E KC COD IR IN IIE IR Tim I THE WOODLAND OF GWYNNS FALLS The hills around dear Gwynns Falls I-ligh Are clothed in beauty rare. Each little flower sends out a cry To greet the woods, once bare. The summer birds with plumage gay, Are coming back with joyg Each one a little sunshine ray To cheer each girl and boy. The rippling streamlet sings its song, As it winds its daily way O'er rocks and stones in happy throng This blessed springtime day. Each dale around our Gwynns Falls High Tells a cheerful story, How Mother Spring in passing by I-las brought them back their glory. O lovely Nature, that surrounds The school of Gwynns Falls High, How grateful are we to have found Thar Spring can never die. CHARLOTTE Nl. OREM THE CALL OF SPRING Beyond the schoolroom window pane, The trees have donned their prettiest green, In answer to Spring's happy call, And flowers bloom along the mall. The world is gay with many guests, In purple, gold, and white theyire dressed. They seem to beckon far and near, And shout aloud that Spring is here. Now does it not seem wrong to you, When skies are clear and blue, That I must study instead of play Through all the happy Springtime day? DORIS MAE ROBERTS, 9A3 THIS LITTLE BOOK In a little book , Bound all round in red, I write, and write, and write, And use up all my lead. Suppose, I will tell you, Each teacher spends some time Dictating every day To fill this book of mine. Then homeward bound we go, With hearts and minds all gay, Until we open up .our books, With burdens for the day. I wonder if the teachers don't Feel sorry for us kids, Working our poor brains to death To do what teacher bids. After what I've cold you, You need not even loolcg For I am sure that you can guess It is my homework book. CATHERINE OHLE A DREAM p To fly through the sky in a silver plane Is my long-concealed desire. To dart through storms of cooling rain And be lost in the sunset's hte. To follow the path of the Sun God, Ra, As he drives his chariot of gold, But my chariot will be a silver plane, My companion the eagle bold. I love to sit in the twilight And listen to pattering rain, And dream of the day, so far away, Wlien I'1I fly in a silver plane. NORINE OsBoN, 9A1.

I , ALICE IN BALTIMORE Alice fell twice. The first time, she recovered. The second time she fell in Baltimore, and she has never recovered from that. When she came to, she found herself on the lawn of Gwynns Falls Junior I-Iigh School. Watch- ing some teachers a distance away, she realized that it was the faculty having a tea party on the lawn as a result of the advice of the Mad Hatter, who said tea was good for the grass. Approaching the new Vocational Office, she saw breakfast being served to the late comers. All late slips had been previously torn up. Alice passed the auditorium where the freshmen were having their morning tea and toast, and by walking backwards down the hall by the out- door courts, she came, of course, to the music room. She paused in the doorway and pushed the hair from her eyes so that she could hear the three part song Miss Bennett was teaching a boy's technical class. The girls were singing The An- vil Chorusu in close harmony with The King's I-Iorsesn, which was carried by the boys singing the second part. The bass tones of 'QThe Bells of St. lVlary's,' ran through the melody of the other two parts and rounded out the whole. Alice stood en- trancedl Not even the White Knight of Ivanhoe could sing like thatl Slowly, she raced down the hall. Looking into a certain French class she noticed the strict atten- tion given to the ten-minute talk period. The time has come , the teacher said, to talk of beaucoup des clvo.ves. I-Ier attention was drawn to several conscientious seniors suffering from in- flamation of the jaw, due to ,their daily efforts to talk steadily for ten minutes. The teachers appeared to be worried at the perfect silence at the lockers. All were urging the children to enjoy themselves and not be so quick about getting away. It was declared that it shOuld be a strictly social affair. It was also reported that a certain child was sent home for disobeying the rule of going to the lockers only during class hours. In an English classroom Alice was very much interested in a poem called 'fLochinvar has Come out of the East , until her glance was attracted by a horse barking outside. In Latin the teacher was discussing the arrival Of Caesar who was vis- iting Duce Mussolini in Baltimore. In the next class she noticed the teacher wearing a fur coat because the weather was so warm. They were discussing the cold, dismal region of West Africa. A notice was brought into this classroom saying Mr. Mack requested the presence of the pupils in the auditorium. The request was urgent. He ordered boys and girls to scatter locker keys everywhere. He said they were like money and were all the better for being in circulation. During his talk peanuts were being served to the accompaniment of the Peanut Song, because of the music of crackling shells and the sweet aroma of the tid-bit itself. Ar the end of the talk Alice was presented with a dog that neighed. She carried it on her head and went out. As she passed through the front hall next to the tower, she saw the moonlight shining down on the shop roofs. Silence com- plete reigned in the shops. Alice picked up her diploma and started out the door. On the steps stood the White Queen with a Blue Book in her hand. Tell me, she said, looking worried, do you know what a noun is?', Off with her head! said Alice and walked away. Teacher fholding up an octagonal shapej: Now class, what is this?
