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

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?

26 THE ABRAM BREEZE THE BUSIEST THING Oh, the busiest thing we have in our school Though it has nothing to do with our books Is the long green table which stands in the hall. The white lines are not just for looks. As soon as the recess You surely will want to watch out For some are trying to get the paddlesg They go through the door with a shout. bell does ring They still like to play though the class bell has rung. They act worse than beasts in a stable. You've guessed itg the busiest thing we have Is our green and white ping pong table. Joan Trask '53 CHAMPS We the girls at Kingfield High Demand a chance to speakg For we think our winning games Is more than a lucky streak. TheBangeleygirls have tried three times To put us in our place, But we just struggled with all our might And played at a terrific pace. Ernestine Dunham '53 THE THING Oh, the man that was walking down the beach Should have gone the other way Then he wouldn't have found that fatal box That has changed his life since that bright day. He couldn't even give it away To a solitary persong None would take the dreadful thingy To you let this poem be a lesson. The only one who finally took it, And this is on the level, Was a man who lives in a scorching place, A red eyed, horned Devil. So if you want to go to heaven When you're strolling around the sand The only thing you should pick up Is some honest and handsome man. Eleanor Parson '53 ATHOME I like to stay home at night? It gives to me such delight To think I have a home, And can dream of the unknown While I sit by my fireside bright. Joan Trask '53 ,nl 470K-iv
