32 THE SKETCH Poetry Thanksgiving All around the barn yard gate Gobbling turkeys wait their fate, And pumpkin pies are ready to serve, With roasted apple peach preserve. Now on the table all things are sprelad From turkeys, pies, and ginger bread To cranberry sauce and oyster dressing, With bowed heads all, let's give our blessing. To the pilgrims who made a merry day And asked the Indians to come their way, We give thanks, for noble living, For peace, and joy, and our first Thanksgiving. -MARY Spring LOU WHITE, 7A4 The 1vinter's snow and wind are gone, And now we'll hear the birds' sweet song. Spring is here, spring is here. The loveliest season in the year. For then the birds begin to nest, Oh! Yes itis spring that I like best. -MARY CELESTE KIGHTLINGER Lessons Lessons are most disgusting things They bother you all the day When you get home from school at And want to go out and play, You mother says, Get your lessons And then she goes away, Leaving you with all those books And there you have to stay. Lessons, lessons, lessons. They bother you all the day When you listen to the radio Or want to go away, Someone says, Do your lessons first. And so you have to stay. I'm always just so awfully glad, When they're finally through. night Hrstf' ra I think they're such disgusting things, Don't you? MARY EVEL YN PARSONS, 8A1

THE SKETCI-I Myself and Me Pm the best pal that I ever hlad I like to he with meg I like to sit and tell myself Things confidentially. I often sit and ask me If I shouldn't or I should, And I find that my advice to me Is always pretty good. I never got acquainted with Myself till here of lateg And I find myself a hully chum, I treat me simply grelat. I talk with me and walk with me, And show me right and wrong. I never knew how well myself And I could get along. I never try to cheat meg Pm as trustful as can he No matter what may come or go, I'm on the square with me. It's great to know yourself and have A pal that's all your owng To he such company for yourself, You're never left alone.
