The roads washed outg the schools closed downg The debris that gathered limited the water supply in towng The rivers were ragingg the ice went outg People left their homes as their goods iloated about. Hundreds were homeless and out of jobsg Typhoid shots were given to the mobs. But soon things changed from bad to fair And the sun is shining everywhere. Nancy Howard '54 22 conducted by Mrs. Wing.

Her head held high She leads her brood Around the yard In search of food. They scatter about And scratch the ground. What a nice, juicy Worm She has just found! They tug and they pull Till they're nearly doneg They tug and they pull ,Til the Worm is Won. Beverly Boynton ,53
