NEWPORT, MAINE e -. e - -ggee egg. ees. eeee eeee e V725 Snowfall The snow was slowly falling down From steel gray clouds above: It rested on the earth so brown, A symbol of God's love. The valley was covered with soft white, And through this wondrous swirl, Slowly, quietly through the night God changed this lonely world. Phyllis Whittaker '44 Spring Here at last is good spring weather, No more snow for another year, Flowers and trees all bud together, Simply because good spring is here. The birds all flit to and fro, And little squirrels chatter, The old hard earth softens up, To see what is the matter. The green grass shows its pretty self 3 Soft shines the good old sung And soon appears spring's little elf, To tell that winters done. Snowflakes The snowflakes are a piece of art Unequalled yet by man: They fiutter down upon the ground, As lightly as they can. Now their construction is so fine, The particles so small, Without using the microscope, Some can't be seen at all. But in the spring when winter's done And Old Man Sun comes 'round, The snowiiakes then begin to melt And run into the ground.

241 .-77 . The Class of 'LH Who's that running up the stairs Caught by teachers unawares, Smiling as though they had no cares? That's the class of '41 Who have the pep that brings unrest When kept in class room by a test, But do most work with honest zest? That's the class of '41 Who love their school with all their might For whom they will always fight, Upholding e'er its ideals right? That's the class of '41 Who respect and honor each teacher kind, And all their efforts to make us mind, And ask forgiveness for faults you find? That's the class of '41 Henry Vance '41 Newport High School From the basements below to the hall up above, Newport High School 'tis you we all love, Your classrooms are old: I know this is true, But the faces within are always new. Fond memories of you we will ever cherish, Such a fine institution must never perish. Though soon we're to leave you to Hnd our place in the sun, We hope you'll remember the class of 'forty-one. Eddie Towne '41 I V' THE LIVE WIRE The Qld Elm Tree A sudden thought once came to me As I looked at the old Elm tree. It's branches almost touched the ground, So still, so still, not e'er a sound. I looked at it and thought in vain, I thought that I would call its name. Oh, Mr. Tree, do speak to me. He smiled and said ' 'Do you inean me? I am so lonely, Mr. Tree, Won't you please come play with me? I have some dollies and dishes you see, A table so they can all have tea. The old elm tree just smiled and said, My little child. you thought me dead? I am alive as you may see, And I will come and play with thee. Mary Brewer '44 yum V' MCh I have a little school chum Who stays with me all day, Is more than I can say. ,VP I'm not at all as dark as she, ,W 'YM Nor am I quite as small, And tho she seems to think I'm nice, I'm not so nice at all. So you can't blame me if I think She's something you should see, Because I tell you here and now She's one swell pal to me. Dedicated to M. Boylan by Beverly Stuart '42 And what she seems to think of merifp W ffl
