IS THE RECORD Ethelyn Simmons so gentle and sober, Like her to us there is no other. Neil Witham is quick and spry, He plays with the others on the sly. Jennie Wuori has a round rosy face, If you walk much with her she'll hasten your pace. Harriet Philpot dislikes to blush, But when she recites she can't help it much. Carroll Strickland is too a good boy, He seems so happy and full of joy. Beulah Blanchard is sovery quiet, Never in this world would she cause a riot. Ted Berry is lively and smart, Hels just the one to play his part. As for me I'm quite the other way, So for the juniors this is all I can say. In the Senior class there are Ellen and Wilma, What is said of one, may be said of the other. Next is Nelda. I guess she'll pass, She has the brain and not the brass. Roland Kennedy so straight and tall, Can see the scenes above us all. Isabelle French is neither short nor tall, But she chews gum as well as us all. Hubert Foster has a talent, Which he will cultivate if he doesn't keep silent. Lena Packard can sing like a lark, In trying to beat her you can't make a mark. Taimi Vainio will never tire, To help them all out of mud and mire. Muiiray McMullen is the best of them all, In demand of a good boy to him I'll call. With Hildred Salford I'll close for the Seniors, For I fear this is tiresome to all the readers. B. A. K. '30. THE LITTLE BROOK Softly, softly flows the little brook, O'er each stone and around each nook. Gurgling and splashing the water shines bright. In the sun at day and by the moon at night. Gently murmuring and singing its song, The brook flows onward all day long. Boldly, boldly flows this little brook, Not fearing to be caught in a grassy nook. O'er the rocks and cascades it flows, Forming small ripples as a gentle wind blows. Though leaves and weeds glide down with the water, The little brook still keeps on its chatter. Hurrying ever onward to the sea, Wandering through the gloom from woods unseen, Through the shady forests and through the meadows green, Shallow and still it flows like the river of a dream: This brook goes forward, backward never, Only onward, onward it flows forever. E. F. 'U. 31. LIFE'S DREAM As I wandered over woodland, Through the fields and by the nook. I seemed to feel a wish to linger, By a little babbling brook. The golden sun was sinking And the brook was all aglow. Sparkling, dancing in the sunlight The same tofday as years ago. And I sat there pondering over, What time and tide perchance might bring. 'Tis only in the heart to show, That life shall be a wondrous thing. The magic sunbeams long had lingered, But now they sank behind the hill, And the birds had ceased to twitter And my dreams now, all seemed nil. L. B. P '29.
