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. John Webb '44 -..LdQ?j-...-. lIllHlS Senior Play On Thursday, December 19, the Senior Class presented the play, Fixin' Aunt Fanny , at the Newport Playhouse. The play was coached by Miss Buzzell.
