Current Events In Rhyme EDITORS NOTE! Under the heading Current some phase of literature, world affairs, music serious vein. We hope you like it. 1 World Affairs In the League of Nations Ethiopia put her trust, But this step proved to be a bust, For to Italy all the diplomats said was My, My, My, such crust! Consequently, they say, The League is doomed, After all, we shouldn't have assumed That anything could stop the cannons' boom. The pessimists believe it's a matter of days Before the world is again filled with the haze Of cannon smoke and dying men's groans. However, we of this generation believe That the enlightened public will this danger relieve. For, after studying the situation from every angle, They've found the price for letting nations wrangle Is paid in a figure written in blood, Is paid at the cost of all that we love- Liberty, happiness, fellow-men, life, They'll win in this land over international strife. Music Music has lived down through the ages, And has gone through various stages. Chants and victories have been sung, Folk songs - love songs to someone. Grand Opera enraptures some a lot, While to others it is just a flop. Romance has blossomed 'neath the stars To the strains of Two Guitars. And the Lone Prairie by Hill-Billies, Pleases some and gives others the Willies . So the music goes round and round In every home, in every town. Some like it hot, some like it slow, And now Swing is all the go. So sweet music, hot music, here's to you, Your harmonies ring the whole world through. Events in Rhyme, we have attempted to develop and drama in poetry, either in a humorous or a Drama On gay Broadway this season, People of any tastes could find a reason To spend at least a week to see Those shows of the hit variety. There were VVinterset, and Dead End, But that's only naming a few, And, earlier in the season, There was the Taming of the Shrew. When this Shakespearean play shut down, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine began to frown Over the script of Idiot's Delight, Which was based on the slogan, Might Doesn't Make Right! Then there came that eventful day When they announced the Pulitzer Play. It was Robert Sherman's A'Idiot's Delight, And the war against war reached a new height. ' Literature Through the wide world we can roam, Even though we stay at home. Adventure, romance, heroes, crooks, All of these are told in books. VVe can almost feel the rain When we read Hurricane Seven League Boots takes us far away, And into other lands we stray. Honey In the Horn, the Pulitzer prize, Passes now before our eyes. And then, if we wish to stay right here, Johnny Q. Public Speaks in our ear. Thus the world and its allure Comes to us in literature.

The schools are growing larger and the ex- hibits are getting better each year. This year the high school exhibit was held in the gymnasium April 30 and May 1. Each teacher was assigned a booth for his or her work. There were many interesting exhibits in- cluding the different awards won by L. H. S. in the past year. The science exhibit, history, commercial, dramatics, mathematics, athletics, and language exhibits were outstanding. Exhibit A memoriam for our beloved teacher, the late Mrs. Effie Van Wyk, was a part of the English exhibit. It took the form of books and flowers that she would have liked to have seen in our library. A fashion show was presented twice each evening by the members of the Home Econom- ics Class. Puppet shows were staged by the Art Club. There was music by the Liverpool High School orchestra throughout each evening. The exhibits inspire the students to do better work and it is hoped that they will be contin- ued in the future. l.....- Library News ' HEN you read a book, recommend it to your friends. VVith this slogan in mind, the student library staff of Liverpool High has increased the library circulation over fifty percent, and with such a diversified new selection of new books, who wouldn't be tempt- ed to read? Books of all types have been added. Anne Morrow Lindberg's North to the Or- ient , Men Against the Clouds , 'fAll Sails Set , Wind in the Rigging , a very interest- ing biography of VVill Rogers, George Arliss' Autobiography, are a few that would appeal to almost any reader. As a student memorial for Effie Van Wyk late head of the English Department, several new books have been purchased and are in cir- circulation. Life with Father , Seven Leag- ue Boots , It Can't Happen Here , If I Had Four Apples , The Hurricane , 100,- 000,000 Guinea Pigs , and 'fThe Magnificent Obsession comprise this selection. Much credit is to be given to Elizabeth Michaels, Ruth Crawford, Mary Adams and Carolyn Thoman for their assistance in keep- ing the book-shelves and the books themselves in good-looking condition. Betty Pease is to be complimented upon her very tasteful decora- tion of the bulletin boards, and Dorothy Crowell upon her able assistance, which is too valuable to be classified. Under the supervision of Mrs. Webb, who is the school librarian, our library is very highly rated, very well kept, and very complete. The students, as a whole, do much to promote the success of the library. The national library slogan could well be changed to meet the needs of our Liverpool- ians. Instead of a place to grow and a place to grow in, it should be changed to- A place to go, a place to talk, a place to get help, and a place to get good books.
