Her tear-filled eyes clung long- ingly to his face as the ship sailed out of the harbor-destination unknown. Finally even the ship had faded from view. As she walked slowly homeward her tears stopped flowing and in their place came a blank look that covered the complete loneliness and utter desolation in her heart. She was only one out of millions who have had this experience. As they draw farther and farther apart each one has his own thoughts. Perhaps the mother is thinking of a dis- tant battle-field. Maybe she imagines him fighting there. Oh, how she wishes he was home-safe and sound. He had said, Til we meet again. Will they meet again? Perhaps the boy is thinking of how he wished his mother wouldn't feel so badly, the things he is fighting for, and the joy he and his mother will experience when he comes home to stay. It is possible for us to help bring this couple and others like them together again: to help fulfill their wishes. Would you de- prive them of their happiness? Fail the-m? of course you wouldn't! Our boys are dying, Keep on buying War Bonds and Stamps TODAY. DOROTHY KEITH Grade 7 Spring Winter's going quickly The snow is going fast. The days are getting longer, Spring is here at last. Many birds are singing, And the sun isf shining too. They sound so very happy, And the sky is always blue. PETER VOUDOUKIS Grade 7

MAINE ASSEMBLY PROGRAM The Junior High School presented an as- sembly on the facts of the State of Maine in the High School gymnasium on March 15. lt was quite different than any other ever given before. It contained all the facts and knowledge about Maine and was highly in- teresting as Well as entertaining. On display was the flag of Maine loaned by the State House in Augusta through the influence of our Representative Emery Leathers. The Junior High School received from Gov. Hildreth a letter of praise and his deep regrets that he couldn't attend. The program as it was presented to us is as follows: Announcer '..,..... ....,,.....

The lVo0ds in Winter I walked in the woods in the winter, Where the trees were white with snow, And the branches that out-stretched in summer With their glistening load bent low. There was silence all around me, Not a creature moved nor stirred, Not the pad of a scurrying rabbit, Nor the cry of a startled bird. The trees-they sparkled like diamonds Wherever the sunlight fell. OH the beauties that lay about me I have not words to tell. As I slowly' journeyed homeward, The picture didn't depart, The peace and beauty I saw there, Have entered into my heart. E. GALEN LEATHERS Grade 8 Springtime in Maine The cool spring breeze is blowing In the Eastern part of Maine. The flowers send forth their fragrance Over hill, and field, and plain. The May flowers are all in bloom Beside the stream near hry, The frogs are croaking happily As day is drawing nigh. You can hear the cattle lowing And the birds are singing too. How lovely is Maine's spring time, When nature is so new! Once more when the daylight is dying And the lengthening shadows fall, We hear the cry of the Whip-o-will As he sings goodnight to all. ROSALIE YOUNG Grade 8
