THE ECHO 25 TWO AND ONE HALF On the wide porch there stands a child; His face is clean but “Oh” so mild. His eyes are bright just like the sun. He’s always ready to have some fun. His sweater sags on every side, But he is just his mother’s pride. His age is just two and one half; He’s always ready to create a laugh. His cheeks are “Oh” so rosy red; Tousled red hair crowns his head. Little one of freckles and tan, You surely are a little man. Rita Levangie, ’29. A SONG A little bit of color Woven in and out, A tiny breeze, sighing trees, Gathered round about, A butterfly ’gainst the blue, Sailing clouds on high, A noisy brook, shady nooks, Sunbeams dancing by, The merry ring of voices, Shouts of children gay, A happy song — are helps along This life’s rough highway. Myron Holbrook, ’30. VACATION The last two months of school are here With all their bustle, joy, and cheer, For soon we know from Sumner High We’ll go for August and July. Some at the beach will happy be, While others go to the country, Or if one has a brand new car, He takes it, and he travels far. But when we’ve had our months of fun, Back to Sumner High we’ll come, With its new gym and assembly hall The “coming back” will be best of all. Alma Cummings, ’29. If an S and an I and an 0 and a U, With an X at the end, spell Su; And an E and a Y and an E spell I, Pray what is a speller to do ? Then, if also an S and an I and a G and an H E D spell cide, There’s nothing much left for a speller to do But to go and commit siouxeyesighed. Mr. M.: Now, Harvey, tell me, what is a vacuum ? Harvey (thinking hard): I have it in my head, but I can’t express it. Miss Megley (to tardy pupil): Why were you late? Pupil: The bell rang before I got here.

24 THE ECHO upon she became very excited and hurried into the yard to hunt for more. Carefully examining- the legs, of the chair, Dick and his wife found more gems. On the following day he took them to a well known jeweler and found that they would keep him in wealth for the rest of his life. When he told it to Mary, she wept for joy and promised Dick that she would never scold him for any future bargains that he might buy. Penelope Hutchinson, ’30. Poetry SPRING The sun is shining high up in the sky, The earth’s green buds are blooming in the sod, The flocks of little birds go flitting by, While all of Spring’s great blessings come from God. The daffodils and crocuses are seen; The pussy-willow buds are coming out; The grass is coming up so very green. ’Tis God’s own Spring that’s here, with- out a doubt. The cold March winds will soon be gone away, The April rains will come from skies so blue. Then after April come the joys of May And with her, flowers of every shade and hue. And everywhere all nature seems to sing,— On earth, in skies, and flowers. At last, ’tis Spring. Alma Cummings, ’29. CASTLES As I stand gazing out to sea, I see big ships not meant for me. But as I look into the air, I see my castles everywhere. For that is where I’d like to be, Instead of gazing out to sea. But now I see the sun’s bright ray, Working well the close of day. And I must trace my steps toward home, So’s not to let my thoughts to roam. For dreams are only little things; With them no pleasure ever brings. Hazel McKay, ’28. THE STORM Far in the distance now we see, Flying along in groups of three. White seagulls, billowing far o’erhead Fleeing the storm which they so dread. Black clouds on the horizon do appear, Increasing their cries of warning and fear. The sun is covered, and soon the sea Will be tossing around most angrily. The lightning flashes across the sky, The great winds whistle, moan, and sigh; Then, like a cloudburst comes the rain, Refreshing all the world again. Adelaide Hadfield, ’29. NONSENSE RHYMES There was a boy named Thorndyke Who secretly wished for a Van Dyke. One day his longings came true In a “Dyke” of beautiful blue. But alas and alack! This beautiful view Was only an inkspot or two. Penelope Hutchinson.
