18 M. F. H. WEST POLAND EXPRESS How hard it is to come to school To ride so far each day, To make believe we study VVhen our thoughts are tar away. Sometimes we stay in bed too late And this makes Alden cross Then ,lennie does some talking To let him know whois boss. But still we're quite :1 jolly gang: That needs no further stress l-et's give three rousing cheers, then- For our faithful VVest Poland Express . Rebecca Johnson. WHERE WISDOM FAILS There was :1 man in our town, And he was wondrous wise, He could unscramble scrambled eggs And uncuss custard pies. He could unhutton butter too. But yet, with all his skill, There was one thing he could not do- Unpay a paid gas hill. Marion Pulsifer. EPITAPH Here lies Cole with all his fame .He failed in French and died of shame. James Sheridan PILOT SPRING The spring has come again, alackl With aching arm and tired back, The sound of ball against the bat, And then again Wl1ose ball was that? NNhile someone knocks one to the trees, Amid a chorus of Oh gee's. A righty draws a 'tlefty's glove, And tells the fact to the skies above, Hroans at a badly fumbled catch, And tries :i long low Hy to snatch. The sound of spiked feet running free, You're out! the umpire's melody. One hears the yell, A foot too wide! And, Umpire, that was a mile inside! Again, Umpire, you were given an eye To watch the ball, not the bright blue sky. Another pitch comes whirling byg The inning: ends with an infield fly. And though the seasons come and go, l5asehall's the best sport still, you know, XfVe eouldn't do without the game, lt's fun to have your arm all lame, And what a yowl would quickly ring, lf Nature tailed to produce the spring. Hugh Rideout, '34 DEBATING SQUAD
