l J Page One Hundred Y li R THE FIRST SNOVV FALL The angels in the heavens Shook down upon this earth A snow-white covering blanket To fill young hearts with mirth. The birds from autumn harvest, Had all Hown South to rest, To let the snowflakes whirl and fall, And cover hill and crest. --Lucius Scnmrz, Grade Eight. MY TRIP TO FAIRYLAND Once I went to Fairyland To take in every sight, I tumbled here and tumbled there, And rolled on diamonds bright. VVhile traveling on through Fairyland, I met the Fairy Queen, Beautiful, stately, this lady was, The prettiest I'd ever seen. Her dress was decked with diamonds, Pearls adorned her hair, Which fell in jet black ringlets Upon her gown so fair. Her feet looked very dainty Clothed in slippers of glass, As she stood on a carpet of roses That children had strewn for her path. -Cu,xki.o1'rn GREEK, Grade Six. THE VALUE OF SIXTY SECONDS I am a minute, And if worthily spent, My little owner Shall never repent. Do not think that I am so small, For the longest time is made of me. I make the hours, the days and months, And the years that make a century. I am used by the very smallest babe, And even the oldest man aliveg I am used by the rich and poor alike, And yet I thrive and thrive and thrive. Ruin Rizmnan, Grade Six. WHEN I GROVV UP When I grow up I'll have a car, And evening dresses, too, WVith many rutiles, tucks and bows And sashes pink and blue. I'll go to all the parties And take in every sightg I'm sure it will be awfully late When I get home at night. -Biuwcnrz Mains HAGEN, Grade Four. :X S FOURTH OF JULY On the Fourth of july We have the most fun. WVe play with fireworks Until day is done. And later at night When the moon comes out We gather in groups And laugh and shout. VVe watch sky-rockets High up in the air And the big Roman candles, Oh, how we do stare! YVe must all he careful And not get too near To the big cannon crackers VVhich fill us with fear. -Carneiuns Snmuvs, Grade Six TH E SPRING PARTY One bright and sunny day in March From southland far away Came Robin red breast and his wife All plump and fat and gay. The chipmunks got a party up, And asked a polar hear, VVhile father monkey and his son Took little cub in care. The sparrows also and their friends Were asked to share the fun, While mother fox was trying hard To get the big cake done. At last the party day arrived, The crowd were all about: They were to have a lovely time, As to that there was no doubt. The robins told in gay, gay notes Of the fun down South in all, 0h! of course, said Mrs. Robin, We went to Orange's ball. And many songs we've learned to sing, They're rather jazzy, though, I'll teach them to you when the moon, Its silvery light will throw. They chirped all through the whole long., night And had a merry time, They danced the Charleston every step, And then went in to dine. I guess you wonder how it is, The Charleston step they do, But Kid Sparrow's a Charlestoner, Sure that is nothing new. -ELEANOR SPROUL, Grade Eight. 1926 ima
