H. c. I.scRoLL 3-7 When Peace again has flooded the earth And the war has ceased to be, We shall all have a new freedom of birth And of Peace and Democracy. N. Cummings '46 LIMERICKS There was an old woman from Dover Who was in a car that turned overg She cracked her head And then it was said That she was laid in a grave at Hanover. H. Hanson '46 There was a man from Berling As a paper-hanger he did begin. He started a war- I dofn't know what for Now he will hang for his sin. . P. Archer '46 A man from the town of Berlin, ' Was wiping the sweat off his ching Our bombers flew by, And let the bombs fly, Our boys watched the old man dig in. The Japs thought they were bright, When they started the U. S. to fight: But cfne of these days, We will hear the Japs say, Our future is not like a light. A. Amero '46 There was a yo-ung woman from Dover Who used to roam through the cloverg One day she sat dc-wn On what she thought was the ground But there was a bee there and he drove her. There was a young man from Bangor He always got everything that he sang for, One day he sang reveille And in walked sweet Beverly He said, You must be the maid that I rang for. P. Seamans '46 There was a young man from Texas He was really very reckless, He fired with his gun Then began to run For he had hit a woman's necklace. P. Page '46 There was a young lady from Ricker, Who thcught Higgins would lick her, She buckled right in, And won out with a grin, And she found she could do her work quicker. M. Locke '46 There once was a girl from Garland, Who wished she could live on an island: With all of her might She tried to be right But slill wanted to live on this island. M. Madden '46 I once had a parrot named Polly, Who went for a ride on a trolley. When she got there And was asked for her fare, She said, I ain't got any, by gully. B. Fish '46 Well we remember that night in June The lake bathed in silver by the light of the moon, On the lake in a boat Which we thought would float, But it sank from our s-ight all too soon.

36 H. C. I, SCROLL T ':'E:E'- 5 -:ni 4 5-4 ' i- BELIEF Longer is the twilight hour, I believe in the brooks, and the trees, and Longer time to play, the fields, Pretty grows the pink May flower And all that the earth has in store I believe in the rights that God gave man, Some thousands of years before. , The right to live in the holy land, Where the straight, narrow path is the guide. 'I'he right to wait for the coming day When all mortals shall be at His side. But before we depart from this earthly scene, Where we all are judged by above, Let's. fulfill our tasks of righteous work, And be subject to His love. B. Conners '46 SPRING And all the birds have begun to sing. The grass is finally turning green, And the men of the households are putting on screens. X X After the winter, then comes the spring, Spring is also the time of year. That little chicks begin to appear. Tho hens are put outdoors in their pens And the cattle are pastured cfnce again. The boys and girls, they fall in love, When the moon or sun shines brightly above I wonder why the spring of the year Brings everyone so much cheer? M. Stanhope '46 SPRING ON THE FARM Once again the birds are singing, Old dread winter's cold is past, While our hearts with joy are ringing, As we conquer each new task. Lambs are capering, cattle lowing, As they smell the fresh spring air, O'er the hills the green is showing, Mother Nature does her share. Hors-es restlessly are tramping, Anxious for the trace and bit, You can tell by their stamping, For the spring's work they are fit. Farmers all are getting restless, Anxious for the time to seed, Then to trust in God and Nature, To provide their every need. M. Locke '46 SPRING HAS COME The birds are twittering, The grass is green. 'Tis the prettiest spring I've ever seen. T0 STAY Sap is running Freely from the trees. Bees start humming And sharp blows the breeze. Spring has come to stay. M. Mace '46 SPRING Snow cannot be seeng The grass is turning greeng That's one of the signs of Spring. The birds are singingg 'I'he church bells are ringingg That's a sign of Spring. Flowers soon will reappear, Filling every heart with cheer. These are signs of Spring. Ted Farrell '46 SPRING Spring is the busiest time of the year, But it is the time we all hold dear. Perhaps we have play rehearsal every night, Or maybe on the baseball field we iight. But in the spring, pleasure is mixed with work, And around each corner the sun does lurk. Maybe after school we can take a bike ride, It's fun in this way like a bird to glide. The birds merrily singing each morning bright, Greet us before the day is quite light. And all through the day we are happy and glad, As we see strolling each lassie and lad. E. Chase '46 A BASEBALL GAME IL's a red hot day in May And the sun is shining brightg It's a perfect baseball day, But the game isn't going right. Il.'s the last of the ninth inning, The score is seven to six: The other team is winning And we are in a fix. Now the bases are all loaded And there are but two awayg But Masse hits a homer And therefore saves the day. Bill MacDonald '46 i.-..i.. -i T0 OUR BOYS Uncle Sam has called our boys And they have gone away. They've put away their childish And answered the call today. toys Many have gone from H. C. I. To fight for freedom and right. They are protecting us CYou and IJ And fighting with all their might.

Senior girls welcome underclass- men with a party. 21 The annual Freshman reception is held in the chapel. There was a short program, followed by the usual handshaking and re- freshments. 23 A corn roast is held at the pond with baked beans and plenty of fun. They say Mr. Keith had five helpings of beans. 27 The first issue of the Scrawl is pub- lished. Our new teacher, Mr. Fotter arrived with his family to assume his teaching duties. October 1 There still seems to be some resemblance between the Freshmen and the grass, but both are fading. 5 Higgins symphony gathers for its first rehearsal. 7 Higgins runs over the Coburn eleven with the rousing score of 24 to 0. 9 Girl Reserve initiation was held in the chapel with a candle light ceremony. 14 Miss Hillman and Mrs. Grindle organized a softball game. Preliminaries for the Fresh- men prize speaking contest petrified the Freshmen. 25 We noticed everyone did some last minute cramming. 27 Mid-term exams. 28 Higgins put up a good fight with their opponents M.

Hope there are no broken bones. 19 The boys came through with their first victory of the season in the Dover game. 20 Today, a few of the Sophomores were rather dense. Perhaps it was because of the speaking preliminaries. 23 Students were all suffering under the mid-year exams. 24: Still suffering. 30 We are certainly enjoying f?J typical Alaskan weather.
