CECILIANS Have you ever tried for the Cecilians, Dramatic club at Naps? If you haven't, it's quite worth the effort, You may be selected, perhaps. First you search the world for a subject That the judges will accept. Then you study and practice the poem Till you think you've become adept. The night before you are quite restless You dream you cannot say a word. And your knees are shaking so loudly That no other sound can be heard. Day comes. T'here's Mother to wake you. Can you say it? she will anxiously ask. You rush through it without an error And think, That wasn't a task. So blithely you go through the school day. You shed all your lessons like dust. At recess you regale your classmates With the speech--you feel that you must. Then comes the actual moment Your number has been called at last.- The walk to the platform is endless, But at least the waiting is past. The first verse you say seems quite easy, The second you're doubtful and pauseg Beginning the third you recover And finish-hear the applause!! You rush from the room all aquiver Thankful indeed to be through. But oh, what a wonderful feeling When you find out they really chose you. ELEANOR HUIE PIN-UP BOY Have you ever watched a Napsite Opening her locker door? Have you seen her eager eyes light up, The moment just before? Have you wondered why she sighed As she took a peep inside? Wondered why she looked so foolish, Wondered what it was she spied? If you'll look into her locker, You won't wonder any more. ' There's a picture of Van Johnson Pasted on her locker door! DoLLv DAVIS CHEMISTRY LAB. I know that I shall never forget The smell of gas from out the jet Or how in vain my partner tries To wipe the acid from her eyes. Mid shouts of triumph and disaster Experiments continue faster 'Til at last the weary class Is o'er come by some queer gas. FRANCES JORDAN CHAPEL ANNOUNCEMENTS The announcements made in Chapel Sometimes provoke your smiles All made by different girls In many different styles. There's the girl who drawls out slowly, Yawl, weive lots ta' do, ya' know She sounds like a southern character You see in a picture show. The girl that leaps up wildly And rattles off things so fast You hear the first of their sentence, But what was that part at the last? There's the girl that hangs her head And mumbles things way down low, You can't understand what she says And you hope that you're not 'sposed to know. Every one makes mistakes we see, For perfection's hard to reach. But let's all start in chapel today To try to improve our speech. JANE MACRAE BIG PUSH ON NAPS FRONT ' C00 THE CAFETERIA Ever hear of Bessie Fordam in the class of .'4S? She took her time to get in line, and now she isn't alive. Now I should like to tell you, although it's an admission, The other girls got all the lunchg Bess died of malnutrition. So, welcome, little new girls. Let me give you some advice. It takes a lot of muscle, to get a little rice. The gal that runs the fastest, when the lunch gong peals away Is the one that gets the vitamins, to run the race next day. BETTY IVEY EXAMS The morning after The night before We feared to enter The study hall door. But we finally went in To await the doom That we knew would come In that fateful room. After hours of working To make a good mark, We welcomed the freedom As light after dark! The horrified looks we were wearing were spent And the smiles that we bore were smiles of content. FLORENCE Cnoox SENIOR READER-HERE'S 'TO YOU! There is a little paper Simple as can be, But getting up those columns Sometimes islagony. There's always hurly burly The day we go to press. Features'readg not so newsy, When written under stress. Our journalistic efforts Seem weak when we are through, But we give you--Senior Reader Naps' paper-Here's to you! ANNE O,SULLIVAN 4
