The MICROPHONE 19 JUNIOR HIGH ENTERTAINMENT On March 29, the Junior High School presented an enjoyable evening entertain- ment in the High School auditorium, consist- ing of a pageant and short play besides other special features. The eighth grade gave Come, Let's Eat, a short sketch on the manners of young moderns, while the seventh grade presented Long May Our Flag Wave, which consist- ed of several musical numbers. All Junior High pupils had an opportunity to actively participate in the patriotic pageant. A satirical sketch on the high school faculty, given by seven boys, merited much applause. Credit for the success of this entertain- ment is due to Mrs. Nickerson and Mrs. Herrick, the directors. Spring Running water, Melting snow, Leaf buds starting, March winds blow. Birds are flying Through the air, Signs of spring, Everywhere. MARILYN KELLEY Grade 7 Spring Spring is here again, And I am very glad, There are so many things to do For each and every lad. I like to ride my pony, And go in swimming too. I think it is a lot of fun Come now, don't you? BASIL ROBERTSON Grade 8 I Wisll Gee, I wish it were summer again, To smell the beautiful flowers, To hear the murmur of honey bees, And feel the refreshing showers., But it's just a long cold winter With nothing to do all day, But sit in school and obey the rule When I'd rather be pitching hay.

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

Then summer comes when Spring is over, And we'll see many fields of clover- After that, Fall will be calling, And the leaves will then be falling- Then comes Winter, last of all, And with it comes, the snow piles tall. BEVERLY LIBBY Grade 7 I Cun't Make Up a Poem I can't make up a poem, Although I often tryg It comes so very hard to me I sit right down and cry. But my teacher says I must Think and take my time. I know so very many words, Why can't I make them rhyme? BEVERLY WQH ITE Grade 8 FUTURE FARMER MEETINGS The Future Farmer Chapter of Hermon High has been quite active this year in sponsoring farm meetings for the benefit of the people of Hermon. These meetings have been designed for the purpose of acquainting the farmers with our agricul- tural specialists and giving them a chance to personally ask questions that they wish about any phase of agriculture for which that specialist is well qualified to answer. We started our monthly meetings in Oc- tober and have had one every month except December. Our plan has been to feature a different phase of agriculture each month and in that way to eventually cover all phases of agriculture. The movies offer education as well as entertainment nature to add variety to the program. We hope our farm programs have proved of successful value to the people of the town.
