SUNDAY MORNING It's Sunday morning, the Sabbath Day. The day is warm and clear and bright. People are on their way to church, It's a happy and glorious sight. The church bells are happily ringing, We enter the little white church. It's quiet and peaceful and still there, For many the end of a search. The choir raises its voices clear, The church is filled with song. We all feel God's presence here, A peace for which we all long. Soon the service is over, The people rise to go. They all have peace of mind now. For God has willed it so. A THUNDERSTORM The sky was darkg the air was still, A summer's storm was near. By Camille Sicard The lightning ilashedg the thunder roared, The storm is really here. Wind is risingg rain is falling, A flash and then a crash. Streams are formingg trees are swaying, Raindrops fallingg we hear them splash. The rain lets upg the wind dies down, The sun begins to shine. The rainbow comes, showing beauty Of the country thatis yours and mine. MAKING THE BEST OF SCHOOL Sometimes to school we hate to go, To face assignments and essaysg But surely all of us must know, It will mean much in later days. There is to do, the work each day No matter rain, the snow, and sun. Doing our best, it surely pays The world to face when school is done. Do think of this on every day: Do not despair, be gay and smile As off to school you iind your way. School can't be such a bitter trial! 27 C arlene Dunn

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The Mclndoes Lassies for the sixth straight time won the Hilldale League Championship. This season was more impressive than the rest because of their record. They piled up a 12-O mark in League play and had an overall 17-0 record. The Lassies lose three of their big gunners this year. They are Norene Lang, Ruth Grifiin, and Edith Hammond, but still they have a great team left. The Lassies' three guards-Verda Emery, Edith Hammond, and Norene Lang- deserve much credit for such a great year, because of their tremendous defensive ability. They held the other teams to a low 27.2 average per game. The high scorers for the girls were Ruth Griffin with 290 points and Mona Hunt with 246 points. The rest of the scoring is as follows: B. Emery, 175, L. Blake, 313 J. Hunt, 203 P. Ward, 19, S. Conant, 11, I. Mitchell, 8, E. Hammond, 45 N. Lang, 4, and E. Mitchell, 3. CHEERLEADERS' REPORT This year we didn't have as many cheerleaders as last year but we got along very well. The cheerleaders were Patricia Mitchell, Sophomore, Christine Theroux, Audrey DeRusha, and Phyllis Paradie, Juniors, and Camille Sicard, Senior. We decided to change our uniforms a bit. We got yellow knee socks and yellow blouses. New blue vests were added and our skirts were shortened. We haven't done anything to earn money but we expect to in the future. The cheerleaders attended the Cheerleaders, Tournament on February 11 at Woodsville, where we had a lot of fun. That's all for this year. I wish next year's cheerleaders the best of luck and happiness. Camille Sicard, Capt. Left to right: Patricia Mitchell, Camille Sicard, Christine Theroux, Audrey De Rusha, Phyllis Paradie. 29
