Springtime Green There is something in the springtime Of a special joy to me. It's found on every bush, On every shrub and tree. On every sprouting blade of grass, On every fragile fern, This wondrous thing is everywhere And each year will return. It is the shade of springtime, That wondrous shade of green, Which at no other time of year, Is so profusely seen. It has a special beauty, A beauty all its own, A beauty clean and delicate, A soft, refreshing tone. I think, perhaps, in Heaven, Where nothingis bad or wrong, This lovely, dewy shade of green Is present all year long. -Charlene Haas Class VIII Story Once upon a time there was a fairy. She knew a boy. She loved him dearly, but he hated her because she sometimes went out with other boys. He did not like that at all. He hated that very much. One day he said, I can't take this any longer. Oh! Do you mean that? Sure I mean that. The fairy was very sad. She said I won't go out with other boys. OK, I will marry you, and they lived happily ever after. -Rhodena Dalsemer Class II 39

Alice Has Another Dream Alice was walking through Wonderland's biggest park when she heard a voice shouting, Help! help! She ran to where the sound came from and saw a card doubled in half in a lake. When she undoubled it she saw it was the Eight of Hearts, the Queen's head guardian. When Alice asked the card why he was in the water he said because he had been spying on some bad people who liked it when the Queen was mad. She had killed many people but now that she was sane they wanted to take over the throne. Suddenly the card jumped to his feet because he saw something move in the bushes. Then without warning a bad man leaped out and caught Alice. He took her to his and the gang's hide-out. Because Alice was a little girl she could not fight this big man. She was watched almost every second. Meanwhile, the card ran back to the palace and warned everyone. Two whole decks of cards started marching to the menis hide-out. In the meantime Alice listened very carefully while the men discussed their plot. just as the men had gone off to town to buy something, the cards came to the hide-out. Now that everyone knew what the men looked like, one pack of cards went to town, the other pack waited at the hide-out. Unknown to the cards, the men were sneaking up on the Queen, who was in the palace. Luckily the guards realized just in time that some one was creeping into the castle. The guards recognized the men and they told the Queen that these were the bad men. After a little while they caught all the bad men, and put them in prison. The Queen of Hearts said, Alice, you are a very brave girl, because Alice had not been frightened through the whole thing. -Carol Mason Class V Once there was a little white poodle, he had no home.

XVhen the heart heat quicker, And hope was young, And truth was the song on u ininstrelis tongue. Though the forests were deep and wild and clark. The lnnntsinun's arrow found its mark, And the greatest l1lllltSIl1ll.1l was king of ull. But whether in hut or kingly hull, YVith erouehing hounds hy 11 leaping hlzlze, lfieree men listened with dreauuing gaze, NVhile'niy harp sung on of love und war, Of gods und heroes who lived hefore. O, the lords of that time were mud and free, But tender were they to poetry. --limmi Mr1ffc'sic'l1 Class Yll 40
