SWEET J OSEPHINE The children were filing out of class While cleaning in the hall so Wide, As through the halls a boy did pass, The janitor a small cat spied A boy Who bore lmid shouts and jeers Beside an open locker doore A cat upon which fell his tears- Didlst ever hear the like before? Sweet Josephine! Poor Josephine! The cat was small, and so was he The janitor grabbed it by the neck The boy was just a 7B. And threw it out the door, by heck! What was the cause that made them jeer? The small boy clutched it with a cry Listen-my friends and you shall hear And said, Shels mine-aIll tell you Why lBout Josephine! My Josephine! You see I found her starved and scared, I searched my pockets, and I shared With her, the lunch I bought that day, And in my locker stored her away. Dear Josephinel SIDNEY VARSHOFSKY, ROLAND FISCHER. IF I WERE A QUEEN If I were a Queen of a foreign land, Ild eat of candy, cherry pie, I'd wear a gorgeous golden crown. Ice cream, and chocolate cake, Then sit upon a mighty throne, And a small page I'd have nearby, And wear a royal silken gown. To get my stomach ache. With flowers, I'd deck my shining hair, But as you see, Ilm just a girl With sweet perfume Id 611 the air. With not so much as one small curl t Diamonds I'd wear upon my hands, Illl have to read, and spell, and sew And round my neck, would hang pearl And do as others do, you know. strands FLORENCE SCARBOROUGH, 7A-2. SPRING The earth has thrown 0E her mantle of snow, And the Robin struts proudly around, to show His bright red breast and soft brown wings. While his mate sits at home on her eggs, he sings. The buds on the apple trees are sprouting, And that spring is here, the crocus is shouting. The fox peeps out of his lair to see The world as joyous as can be. And the shaggy brown Bruin now long and lean, Looks out from his cave on the wondrous scene. The lively brook runs gaily along, And as it babbles it murmurs a song. - The happy bluebird sings gaily for all to hear The happy tidings that Spring is here. CELIA GRELLER, 8A2. 52
