Trees Sergeant Joyce Kilmer I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

Clos Prophecy Sam McCord On October 3, 2006, I was asked to re- tire as supervisor at Goodwin Hall. I had saved one million dollars during the last 45 years. I decided to fly to Mars. When I arrived, I was surprised to see Larry Helms who was president of the Red Planet. He said that Barbara An- drews was on one of the moons of Mars, so I flew there to visit her and was shocked to see her hair colored green and her skin purple. Barbara owned a dance school there. She advised me not to go to Jupiter to see Mary Pegram because she said Mary was no taller than Thumbelina. I refused to believe Bar- bara. I arrived on Jupiter and when I came to Mary’s home, she flew to my hand. I had to use Mrs. Bigham’s old-fashioned magnifying glass to see her. After visiting with Mary, I went to one of Jupiter’s biggest moons to surprise two bachelor kings, Tim Hickman and Wayne Fox. They lived in a beautiful castle with many diamonds imbedded in the walls. They advised me to go to Sat- urn, the home of Ruth Caudle. Tim said that she was huge, even taller than the old tower of Main Building. I was ter- rified and refused to visit her. After leaving the castle, I boarded a plane to Pluto to visit that planet’s only linotype operator, Bob Scarboro. As the plane passed by Saturn, Ruth saw it and caught it. She wanted to kill me. I showed her my toy mouse and snake which I had kept as mementos of days at school. They scared her and she let me continue my journey. When I met Bob Scearboro, I found out that he was still crazy about sports. He had been wonder- ing about Barney Williamson. I told him that Barney had broken Babe Ruth’s record by making 120 home runs in 77 games in Seward’s Icebox in Alaska. Bob was so surprised that the Yankees had moved to Alaska. He thought the Yan- kees would have frozen to death. I told him that Earth has another new sun to provide heat for all sections. Away to Neptune I then flew for an educational visit. I was surprised that Louise Ballew’s husband, Mr. Zersyar- fer] operated a rocket machine for Nep- tune. Louise was one of the four girls in my graduating class who had children. She had one hundred! She asked Zers- yarfer] to take me over to Uranus to visit Mrs. Mary Frances Zimmerman. I was surprised to see that Mary Frances was taller than her husband. They were happy and had four muscular sons. Mrs. Zimmerman fed them “inanimate steaks”. ‘I flew to Saturn again to say hello to Ruth Caudle and asked her to forgive me for scaring her. She forgave me im- mediately. She introduced me to her husband, Smr. Satterr. I couldn’t shake his hand because he was as tall as the Empire State Building. I was afraid to walk around Saturn because the people were so tall. It was sweet of Smr. Sat- terr to hold me in his hand. The people on Saturn were mostly square-shaped. Then I flew to Jupiter in a satellite be- longing to Mr. Clinlmley Dour, the hus- band of Ellamary Caligan. ENamary had five sets of female twins. All of them looked like ENamary when she was in her girlhood. The three of us spent a night with Mary Alice Webb Pempsy- tharath. Mr. and Mrs. Pempsytharath owned Web Manufacturing Company. They made huge webs from Mary Alice’s hair. Then I flew to Mars again to visit Larry’s new wife, Sism Yduj Doow. Both of them looked happy. The people on Mars were happy to have Yduj as their “First Lady” in “Greenish House”. Yduj asked me to stay with them one more week and I accepted her invitation. I enjoyed the visit with Larry and his new wife. I was surprised to see Mildred Lewis of Venus, Judy Harris of Mercu- ry, and Bertha Pierce of Uranus there. We talked about our days at N.C. S. D. Finally I decided to fly home again. I flew to Hawaii and, as I got out of my plane, I stared at the most famous and most beautiful girl in the world. Guess who she was? She was Lucille Waldrup. She looked the same but had many wolves chasing her. Then I flew to N. C. S. D. to visit Mr. Ben E. Hoffmeyer, retired superintend- ent of N. C. S. D. I told him about the class of 62. He was shocked to hear that Mary was one inch tall and that Ruth was taller than the tower of Main Build- ing. I enjoyed my tour and visiting the members of my graduating class, but I was sorry I did not see Barney Williamson.
