24 Did you ever see a raindrop Dropping in the fall? Did you ever Flying in Did you ever On a late Did you ever Being cha Did you ever see a seagull a windstorm? see a squirrel December morn? see a cat sed by a dog? see a woodsman Chopping at a log? Did you ever see a worker Walking to a mill? TH Did you ever see a robin Perched upon a window sill? If you haven't seen these things, You'd better go out some day And see the world wide open Like a windrow of hay. Henry Carey '51 WINTER I like to see the winter come With all its ice and snows, But what I ls when like about it best the winter goes. This may sound queer to some of you, But many'will agree That winter is the best when past Unless you like to ski. - One thing about the winter time We never are too hot. We Or weed We have to We lose So give me never have to mow the lawns the garden plot. shovel snow and plow: all that we gain anytime July When all we have is rain. Paul Cory '51 A SWHAA One day when I was by myself l thought I'd take a swim, And as the wind was blowing hard Soon a wave had hauled me in. BRAAA BREEZE But as I knew not how to swim I floated like a log, Until I saw a river- I guess it was the Androscog. Nancy Howard '54 CAMERA SHY If our pictures in this yearbook Look a little awry Don't blame us poor students For we're all camera shy. Some of the girls in the picture Give the photographer a doleful stare Just because he did not give them A chance to comb their hair. Just as he gets us placed just so We all begin to stir,- It's just the knocking of our knees That makes the camera blur. When he can't keep us still, he begins To stutter and stammerg Then we all smile and hope for the best And pity the poor man's camera. Ruth Donahue '52 KINGFIELD Our Kingfield is a tiny town With school and church and milL But best of all we like the house Of Governor King upon the hill. Oh, that is how we got our name Of Kingfield, don't you see, Because the Governor lived here Many years before you and me. Isabelle Vose. '54 V WINTER WONDER LAND Oh! Winter, winter wonder land, You cover our land with a blanket of whitm Winter, winter wonder land, My, what a wonderful sight! Oh! Winter, winter wonder land, Why do you make the north winds blow?

THE ABRAM BREEZE 23 HUMAN NATURE There is a time when winter is here And snow has covered the ground, When we long for that wonderful time of year When ground is bare and birds flutter 'round. But Come And That what do we think when our wish is complete? summer, our thoughts are reversed we think as we work through the sweltering heat surely this season is the worst. I guess it is a human trait To want what we have notg But And The we should leave it up to fate take what falls our lot. Malcolm Knapp '52 THE SKI MEET ski meet had begun, We all were having fun. Jum And Sla We ping was first on the list each landed in a mist.- lom was next on the list, all had to twist. A Kingfield boy won that test, He was the fastest and the best. When all the boys went and ate, I sat with my mate, We all had beans at first Then apple pudding for dessert. The dinner was very good So we got up and stood. Lat So er than this we could not stay each went his own way. Odlin Thompson '52 FLAG IN THE RAIN There's nothing so forlorn as a flag in the rain, Hanging all soggy and wet When some one has gone and left it in shame. He forgot to take it in before he went. A wind, if it should come up, would rip it for sure And maybe then yank it from the masq Even still without wind, it could freeze before dawn, And if it froze you know how long it would last. Oh! How I would complain, were I a flag in the rain, My stripes would all run together, I would tell my owners to show me FESPSCCQ I was meant for warm and sunny weathen Ruth Donahue '52 HISTORY? POOF! THAT'S EASY When I was young and first in school, The best thing I liked to do Was to see how many of my books I could take home from school. a terrible lot Well, I must have changed From then to now, you seep 'Cause the only books I like to take home . Are the ones I don't have to read. One night when I had my studying done My father said to me, - 'Daughter, why don't you ever bring home Your U.S. History?' 'My history, Pop? Aw, that's too easy! And besides, I haven't time.' Well, when six weeks had rolled around I wished I had taken time. My dad just looked at my rank card And then he looked at me. 'The only easy thing about history for you Is getting a big fat D.' Ruth Donahue '52 DID? Did you ever see a snowflake Sitting on the wall?

THE ABRAM BREEZE - A25 Winter, winter wonder land, You cover us with a blanket of snow. Oh! Winter, winter wonder land, Why do you send us a cover so white? Winter, winter wonder land, Why do you cause all our flowers to blight? Oh! Winter, winter wonder land, You give us so many winter sports, Winter, winter wonder land, But to keep warm we need so many coats. Jean Pushard '54 THE BASKETBALL PLAYER Johnny was a basketball player, No better could be found, He could shoot, jump, and also dribble And he could take the ball out of bound. Johnny was a basketball player The best that I have ever seen, He was quick as the lightning flash He played for the good of the team. Johnny was a basketball player Who wore the red and whiteg He always seemed to make the plays Which seemed to us just right. Martin Sillanpaa '51 H DOUBLE TROUBLE The young man called for his girl at eight While the moon was rising high. He tooted and tooted to hurry his mate But had to give up with a sigh. Finally she came at quarter of nine All dressed in the usual frills, He thought she looked fine He knew he was in for many thrills. They at last set off for the dance Where he thought they might cut a rug But when he found he had gum on his pants, It really was the end for poor Doug.' Gloria Dyeri '52 DONKEY FUN One stormy night in January Of nineteen fifty-one The Legion and the Odd Fellows Met for a bit of fun. The sport was donkey basketball They played with all their might, Some guys didn't even get the ball It was a funny sight. Taisto Maki's little mule Was gentle as the spring air,- Shethrewhim head over heels Bight into a folding chair. By the time Charles K. had tumbled off And got hold of the ball His little donkey could be seen At the other end of the hall. At the end of the game three of our girls Poochie, Jo and Gin, Raced on wooden donkeys To see which one could win. Then three of our boys did the same thing And three of the older men, too. lt was really more fun I actually think Than an afternoon at the zoo. I think every one enjoyed himself And I am no exception! And if they ever bring the donkeys back They'll get a grand reception. Ruth Donahue '52 BASKETBALL PRACTICE At practice each and every night We shoot fouls from the floor, If we do miss, Oh! what a plight For then we shoot some more. We dribble with care around the hall Until we dribble fine But we can not carry the ball ' Across the center line. Beverly Boynton '53
