The fine old trees are really prettyg There are lots of small ones toog Old Timers call it Maple City, And travelers smile as they pass through.. We live upon a quiet street And if, by Cll2l1li't', we later roam, We'll oft return, our friends to meet For we all like to eall this home. Bob Malcolm, '45 Nontzdlq, beautiful capital of the Fire- lands and f-ity of pioneer traditions, lies at the crossroads ot the nation at war. Main Mrffct, whieli marks the course of transeontinental highways along which in earlier days rumbled ox-earts and trolley cars, now serves as llllO1'OUgl1fi1T6 for a, gigan- tic motor transport company earriying the name of Novrwalk throughout the Midwest. l The Winter of 1 the Blg Snow K6 ' ducatwn Is Intellectual Travel This seene of Norwalk Higlfs open door with the sehool lllH'2,l'lill1S grouped at the entrance might mislead one to think that the boy-girl ratio is entirely out of ba,lanee. Not so. The sehool you r begun with two more boys enrolled than girls in a total of 364. However as eighteenth birtlldriys rolled around, Uncle Sam summoned the eligibles to fields ol' wider service and the list of boys dwindled. With so iimiiy of our good friends going into the service, we of the student body have become more and more war-eoriseious. Spare hours have been used to relieve labor Sl101'llEl,gGS in factories and in stores. Appeals for 'Iiuncls have inet with our hearty response. Almost 311,000 worth of war bonds and Sl'2lll'lDS was purchased in the first Semester alone. The contribution to the Red Press was 34200. and 0 was given to the drive agziirist infantile paralysis. As we go clay by day on our seemingly careless way to and from sehool, we are not unlnind- ful of our responsibility to all those who represent us on the battle line. fl' rw ,Q X -. .- .,,- I E f'1. i f.'!

After fifteen days of practice the team got off to a slow start against Shelby, but even then Shelby only managed a 13-6 Victory. Then the boys got rolling against a well-conditioned, well-coached Mansfield Madison team and won 13-7. The following week the team traveled to Berea to take another close call defeating the Berea team 7-6. They returned home to lose to Bellevue by the heart breaking score of 13-12. Willard's Railroaders were trounced to the tune of 27-0. Then came the climax of the season, the big Homecoming. Nor- walk redeemed herself after a crushing defeat of the previous year at Port Clinton. The moaners from that town journeyed to Norwalk to battle to a 14-14 tie with Norwalk ruffians. In the last out-of-town game at Oberlin, the Norwalk boys staged a second-half rally, and with a beautiful pass reception by Dale Mc- Pherson defeated Oberlin 14-7. The final game proved a scoring spree, for Norwalk overpowered Fremont St. Joseph by a 50-6 score. The season was hard foughtg practices were hard and long, but the players and crowd enjoyed the games. FOUR-YEAR. MEN Dale MacPherson- Red always ready. Ralph J anotta-mighty good at any backfield position. Tom Lendrum- Scotch's motto for football and other sports is Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Dick Sommers- Gus never says die. Gale Livengood-Let's go, you guys! Bud Fell- Hippo is usually at the bottom of the pile. Dick Folk- Hap will show 'em a thing or two. Tom Burras-the bigger they come, the harder they fall. Fred Hoyt- Fritz puts football before Spanish. Kenny Beck-plenty tough when he has to be. Bob Charville-he waits behind the line. Bill Terry- Gopher,' really tops. Charles Sweet- Chuck fast and sure. Don Reilly- Twink1etoes could run the ball anywhere. COACH WALLS Even before school started in September, students, faculty, and town fans caught the spirit and enthusiasm of the new coach, Grant Walls, who shows his love of football in every- thing he does and says. At first some of the players thought his rules were a bit im- practical, but he soon proved that training paid. The boys definitely gained inspiration and confidence and played an en- tirely new kind of game.

A team which had played good, but not spectacular basketball, was really inspired when pitted against some of the best talent in the state. Contrary to expectations N.H.S. eagers piit out of-the running the 'powerful Mansfield team, which had been the only team to de- feat Canton McKinley. This was followed by a victory over Sandusky High, Which had beaten Norwalk twice during the season. Basketball Clinic An outstanding event of the year for cage lov- ers was the basketball clinic arranged by Coach Walls. High school coaches and tearns were present from Sharon and Youngstown East. The famed teani of Bowling Green University 02,1116 with its fantastic G ft., 111f2 in. center, Sid Otten. A group of tests for speed, agility and coordination were demonstrated by an individual of each team under the direction of Coach Sei- bel. Dean Seibel represented Norwalk High and did admirably well. After each coach had pre- sented his teanfs offense or defense, an exhi- bition ganie of two quarters was played, first by Sharon and then by East against Norwalk. Coaches, players, and fans a.ll benefitted by the clinic and are looking forward to another one next season. I ntramurals With all high school fellows becoming eigh- teen-year-old conscious, intrarnurals drew fifty enthusiastic signers-up for basketball games. Seven teams got off to a flying start with Mr. Wright as faculty sponsor. There were Janotta's Mustangs who came out on top at the end of play. Other teams, with these captains, finished in this order: Me- Pliersonis Zippers, Maleolm's Buckeyes, Burras' Lucky Strikes, Lendrunfs Camels, Duke's Orunibs, and Dick's Beavers. Ralph Janotta nosed out Dale McPherson for the top scoring honors in the last gaine. Both boys were outstanding in their brand of ball. This is the second year that J anotta has been high point man. Kenny Hackett, flashy guard, and Larry Gandolf, forward, were two more good reasons for the Mustangs winning first place. Other members of the Mustang team were Charles J ones, Dean Oleott and Bob Charville. John Malcohn was high man for the Buck- eyes, Franklin for the Lucky Strikes, Thorne for the Camels, Daugherty for the Crunibs, and Dick for the Beavers. All these boys played aggressive ball. -ff W, , 1 Ess I g Z .

BASKETBALL As has been the custom in the last few years at N .H.S., the basketball season opened and closed with games with Oberlin. In the open- ing game the Oberlin quintet journeyed to Norwalk and took a stinging 35-26 defeat. The Norwalk five capped the season with another victory at Oberlin 52-41. Shelby was next on the schedule and N.H.S. went to Shelby and handed out a 43-33 defeat to the expectant Shelby tive, also taking a mid- season game 49-30 from the same eagers. Sandusky was more or less an upset to the Norwalk players and fans. During the season they took two games from the Norwalk boys by scores of 38-25 and 36-29. However Norwalk delighted in throwing Sandusky out of the Dis- trict Tournament later. Only one game was played with Fremont. The Fremont five came to Norwalk and al- though the Blue and Gold men had plenty on the ball, it wasn't quite enough and they were defeated 45-42. The first game of the local tournament with Saint Paul's was quite different than in prev- ious years. The Saints nearly overthrew Nor- walk by running the game into an overtime from which Norwalk emerged victorious with a 33-27 win under their belts. In the second game N .I-LS. ran away with a 59-3-L victory. Willard, handicapped by the absence of their center in the first game, was hardly opposition to the experienced Norwalk team and lost 61-25 in the opener but came back with much vigor to lose again by a much closer score, 44-36. Port Clinton was another bad spot in the N.H.S. basketball road and Norwalk lost two games to them by scores of 38-52 and 39--L5. In the tournament play at Sandusky, Nor- walk did herself proud by defeating the power- :ful Mansfield team 45-43 in the iirst round. Next Norwalk played Sandusky and although taking two drubbings during the season, Nor- walk overpowered Sandusky 40-36 and went i11to the semi-finals against Bellevue. This game proved to be Norwalk's downfall. Al- though the score was close 37-31, the Norwalk boys didnit have quite enough. Bellevue went on through the tournament and emerged as the state champs.

GOLF Coach Walls has introduced golf as an interscholastic sport this year. There was a good response to his Hrst call with more than a dozen players trying for places on the team. The following eight players were llllillly selected: Bill Pat- rick, John Motsch, Ned Gerken, Dick Furlong, Tom Lendrum, Bill Terry, Fritz Terry, and Don Ott. - Matches have been arranged with Sandusky, Mansfield, Toledo Libbv, Akron V' St. Vincent, Elyria, and Galion. Several other matches are pending and the team hopes to compete in the district meet. The local Elks lodge has very kindly made arrangements to let the boys use their golf course for practice and matches. TENNIS ,J Norwalk Tennis Team candidates including letter man Dean Seibel Cr were limited to the following: Livengood, Motsch, Patrick, Nelson, Fur- V long and Charville. The tennis team will have a rather difficult 1'ecord X to maintain as the previous high school teams have amassed the total of K thirty-five straight victories. N orwalk's teams have lost only three matches since the sport was begun in 1929. J The meets this year will be confined at this writing to the District Meet on May 18, and a couple of meets with Galion and Fremont. Hopes L are high for scheduling more meets as the season progresses. 'X C. A. P. Norwalk this year has been given a Civil Air Patrol Cadet Detached Flight under the Sandusky Squadron. In early November the oiiicers on Lt. Harold S. Bowen's staff decided that the Sandusky Squadron should expand to take in Norwalk, which was rapidly becoming inter- ested in the organization. Robert Adkins, Franklin E. Wilcox, Edward R. Day, Bob Nelson, Keith Fish of Norwalk were at this time members of the CAP in Sandusky. .mM55:g,33 : When the first meeting was held in Norwalk with a large attend- ance of eighty, the oiiicers for the Norwalk Staff were appointed and given non-commissioned rank. 2nd Lt.

The players were the new and old members of the Girls Athletic Association who were beginning the ycar's activities with a bon- fire picnic. The wind was blowing hard, but it was a, warm evening and the club got off to a flying start. G.A.A. is tl1e organization associated with sports for girls. Very cheerfully did the club accept its responsibility of providing a year's program of wholesome activities for the girls. Besides this the club has enthusiastically sup- ported all school projects. One effort was a, G.A.A. assembly which students and faculty will long remember. Ut really wasn't too badj . Santa Claus made a rollicking appearance for the club at a Christmas pot-luck dinner at the home of Patricia Ensminger. To become a member of G.A.A. a girl is re- quired to earn 300 points in a variety of sports: ping-pong, hiking, biking, bowling, volley-ball, basketball, and baseball. Numcrals are to be awarded for 'T00 points and letters for 1100 points. W r ft 5' - 0 MY PAL My pal and I, . Go han' in han' We go to school And home again.

Some musicians have been greatly aided this year by being privileged to study with Mr. Carl Lenz, well-known violinist of Norwalk. Mr, Lenz taught in Norwalk High for one day each week throughout the year. The orchestra completed a very successful season having pre- sented the music for the junior-senior and Shoestring plays, the Christ- mas Assembly, and the Sunday concerts. One of the outstanding num- bers of the year was the piano concerto played with Barbara Bowen, freshman, as soloist. This was well received at the school concert given April 6. In addition to these the orchestra took part in the Orchestra Festival at Bucyrus on April 20, where the group ranked high among similar organizations in the Northern Ohio League. Five other school orchestras took part in this meet coming from Bellevue, Willard, Galion, Crestline, and Upper Sandusky. Pep Band Pep band started off the basketball season in A num- ber 1 style. They played for every home game except those during Christmas vaca- tion. Several new pieces were ac- quired during the season but the sports fans still thrilled to the old Beer Barrel Polka.

Demonstrations are presented to the girls. Miss Mabel Fernald and Miss Betty Newton have been guest speakers.

She had asked them whether they were in favor of re- viving the old K.T.F. Club, the organization for commercial students, which had been dis- continued two years previous to the beginning of the last school year. Since everyone seemed to like the idea of a new and better K.T.F., it was decided that those eligible would include any senior who had had at least one year of shorthand and was taking a second year of typing. Because so very few boys take the commercial course, the niembership was restricted to girls. The club's purpose is a study of Fitting Yourself for Businessf, the general theme tak- en from a book of that name by Elizabeth Gregg MeGibbon, about which the program of every meeting was planned. In the course of the year, group discussions were led by different members, various persons who had business ex- perience spoke before the club, and the girls visited several oflices to inspect business ina- chines. Meetings were held on the third Monday and the first Wednesday of each month, the former usually taking the form of a supper at the home of one of the members, the latter often being a noon luncheon. These were always very much enjoyed by everyone. An important side project of the club has been the raising of funds to purchase award pins for deserving commercial students at the end of the year. This has been accomplished partly through dues, partly through profit on a dance sponsored by the K.T.F. organization. GIRL RESERVE part of the'Young Woman?

To- day with its shortage of workers has called busy staff members a- way from their posts. In spite of the aclversities, the staff has published five regular issues of the Signal besides a. splendid an- nual which it is hoped will not be the last. In acquiring sufficient funds for the iirst leather-bound annual, the art staff produced a booklet of cartoons called Monkey Shines? In preparing the year- book the art staff composed of Ami Van Betschoten and George Kinkel has been ably assisted by Marie Mackin, Karl Kinkel, Ralph Ritzenthaler, Robert Smith, Bob Greer, and Hollis Ensminger. These boys mounted the pictures under the direction of M r. Franz.

Betty OiNeill and Rosemary Seitz are the two gigglers from St. Mar-v's. Maryrose Cooper never talked until she was three but she has certainly made up for it since.

To the juniors we leave the hope that they will get along in American history as well as we did' to the sophomores we leave two more years of drudgery-may they be peacefulg to the freshmen we leave the example of our great achievements to help them through the trying years to comeg and we leave the faculty with a sigh of relief, Amen. Along with these general legacies we leave the following special bequests: Helen Youse hands down her short skirts to Helen Wilde, while Adeline Lierenz's tall dignity goes to Maxine Ingmire. Margie Bell is to re- ceive great basketball ability from Mary Jane Nickoli. Cora Martin may have Jane Knol1's grace in calisthenics. Gale Livengood hands over the key to his motor- cycle to Mr. Wright-better go slow and sit tight! Hereafter Mary Lou Thomas's soft velvet eyes are to be the property of Betty Sellinger. Rose- marie Hoyt's poise will be good for any of the rowdy freshmen. Speaking of hand-me-downs, Charles Sweet passes on his basketball skill to young brother Don, and Bill Geer's brother Bob may have Bill's sense of humor. Dick Sommer-'s title Big Beautiful Boy is henceforth to apply to Burr Furlong. Betty Ho- man thinks her cute figure should go to Miss Hildebrant, and Martha Frey bestows her secre- tarial speed upon Margaret O'Donnell. Earl Thorne's height will be useful to Bobby Klein.

For beautifying the landscape Maryrose Cooper bestows her blonde tresses upon Lila Miller, Mil- dred Latting's upswept hairdo is for Maxine Bar- tholomew, Emma Grace Godfrey's Indian jewelry will decorate Jean Bedell, and Mary Bedel1's beauty is to be divided among future girls of N. I-I. S. Carol Bedell wills her executive ability to Marilyn Switzer, while Tom Lendrum bequeaths his masterly oratory to Tom Cruse. Beverly Goven hands down C?J her height to Evelyn Seitz. The brute strength of Tom Burras is left with Karl Kinkel. And now, switching from physical to mental, ye students will find Doris Jefferson bestowing her powers of mind on Effie Dent, and Van Benschoten willing her procrastination to anyone who thinks they can spin 'ern as she can. But now let us hie ourselves back to those super people: Ralph Janotta desires his football and basketball zest to go to Richard Fletcher CManagerD. Ed Da.y's physique will be Tad Bower's while three pretty maids, Dorothy Heim, Jo La.Conte, and Corinne Zuercher will realize their Amazonian abilities in Ruth Tirnmon. fOontinued on later page? -Exilim' 'Q fc Z5 HALL.. canoe, CDF Brace?

Patient's Name: Graduating Class of '45, Symptoms and Developments: The Republicans have finally succeeded in landing on top. Tom Lendrum is now residing in the White House. He is promoting a bill making class cutting legal. Bob Frey set out to see the world, but settled in Hong Kong with his Elena. Mim Liebhart, having slaved long and hard, is now a retired lady of leisure. Mary Bedell, Dorothy Heim, Beverly Gover, Jane Knoll, Virginia Meyers, Rosemarie Hoyt, Shirley 0'Dell, Frances Wilcox and Regina Schaechterle are now women in white. They soothe the fevered brow and the patient's tern- perature goes up, and up, and up! Donna Munson and Gale Livengood have now found it necessary to add a trailer to the motor- cycle. Patricia Ensminger is the editor of Time, and in her spare time she writes mystery novels. Madame Shurmer and Monsieur Cruse are great scientists. Ueanne Amie is searching for a for- mula to exterminate blondes.J Clarence Bellamy is doing his best to remain a bachelor. Betty MacDonald is still slaving at the A.8zP. Ed Day, the wonder boy, strange to relate, lost his interest in flying and women. He has suc- ceeded in becoming a captain- of the Salvation Army. Talked his way into office. Joan Cage is now a great mathematician and her scientific knowledge rivals that of Darwin. Bud Berezin, formerly of Alcatraz, is now president of the Chase National Bank. Virginia Humiston has just come back from a five years' residence in Montevideo, Uruguay, but she still doesn't know any Spanish except Amor. Bud Fell, now own- er of the Norwalk Truck Line, still has to keep the Wolves from her door. Georgean Martin is now an Air Stewardess on Bob Charville's Trans-American, Trans-Atlantic, and Trans-Pacific Line. Jack Kreinbihl and Dean Seibel are now stunt riders for MacDonald's Mer- ry Makers. Carol Bedell is a social worker among the Hin- dus in India. John McQui1'e is a missionary in this same district-some coincidence, eh? Don Reilly is now coach at N, H. S. and his team is composed chiefly of Pfeiffer-Sweet boys. Doris Jefferson has taken Lena Horne's place and she fills it very well. Dick Sommers, tall, dark, and handsome, is now the undercover lover of thousands of sub-debs. Col-iime Zuercher and Keith Fish, happily married for nine years, own the corner drug store in the old Glass Block. Keeny is the pharmacist and Keith is the soda jerk. Fritzie Hoyt, aviation mechanic at Nor- walk's Nifty Navigation School, is still wondering what American history was all about. But aren't we all? You stop, look and wonder-what can that be in Vogue? Oh, that is one of Van Benschoten's ultra-modern sketches. Barbara and Mary Lou Thomas are still madly in love. Bill Tex-ry's chief occupation is playing billiards. His tech- nique is definitely improving. Juanita Crouser and Velores Currier are sec- retaries-but how can the boss be expected to keep his mind on his business? Duke Van Horn is spending most of his time up the river these days. It seems there was a small matter of bigamy. Kenny Beck is down in Georgia operat- ing a grocery store. Earl Thorne has just com- pleted the greatest engineering achievement of all times-floating parking lots for helicopters. lConcluded on later page! if I Q . .I Balcony Jah, Q X 1 ' Q :7 rr! -f Vrif-tin? fe f - 'ai-' ' - - anrcon Y '-4 we i s-is d ' L Al A i will ! 2 DEYENTIDN 4 ,V-1' N.

Lindenau 82 Benedict Ave. Norwalk, Ohio STUDY HALL All study hall period I watch the clock, Comb my hair and tug at my sock. Should I do my homework? No, I guess I'll uotg I'1l just tell the teacher, Fm sorry I forgot. Pick fuzz of my sweater, polish off my nails. Then I study a little, fjust so I won't failj. Write a couple letters, then I day dream, School is sure a cinch, or so it would seem. Gossip a little, who goes with who and why. Crack my gum some and heave a big sigh. Sharpen my pencil, read a comic book, Whisper a little, and out the window look. Then I sit and wonder if today I'll get a letter. I didn't get one yesterday so I sure had better. It really was an accident, my books falling on the floor, But the teacher got mad, says donit annoy him any more. Why don't I ever listen when the announcements are read? Cause after itis all over I wonder what he's said. Then I look at the pictures a-hanging on the wall. Stretch my neck a mile to see out in the hall. The band keeps a-playing the same old tune, Finally the bell. At last it's noon! Helen Youse, U15 elf WINTER I love the winter, I love the snow When the squash and cabbage will not grow, When there's nothing to pick and nothing to clean And We've already eaten that last string bean. Let others sing of the virgin spring, Itis much too verdant if anything. The balmy spring that sets things humming, That starts things Growing and kce is them coming, O D C l You pick them off and they grow some more Till gatheringuthe harvest becomes a bore. The lovely winter goes all too fast With its smooth bare fields and its vegetables glasscd, Its branches stark and its acres fallow, Where spring lies buried, but all too shallow. Thus endeth my poem for English class But in my honest opinion, spring canit come too fast. J. T. Longfellowv Lendrum, '-L5 sic OVER TOKYO They are oif on another mission Up in the star-lit sky, And you know, as well as I do, That some are going to die. They are on a raid over Tokyo To show them what it's like To be bombed by the super forts In the darkness of the night. Chuck Leibold, '48 Compliments of The Fisher Auto Top Co. Congratulations to the Class of 1945 from The Home Savings gl Dance Committee Activities A certain new zip has been injected into high school dances this year through the industriousness of five stu- dents who compose the Social Com- mittee. This group, perhaps better known as the Dance Committee, func- tions indirectly under Student Council. Members are Bob Frey, chairman, Anne Van Benschoten, Tom Cruse, Donna Munson, and Grace Squires. Novelties introduced to offset gen- eral boredom have included refresh- ments, decorations, different seating arrangements, mixer dances, a mas- ter of ceremonies, special lighting, and other features. The high spot of the committees activities was the Undertakers' Ball, a unique dance carried out in a supposedly somber, but really hilarious, motif. By charging a slight admission and selling refreshments, enough money was made to establish a special fund- the Dance Fund-which has remained and will serve as a basis for bigger and better dances next year. An advisory committee of faculty members has proved of great help to the student committee, by giving val- uable suggestions and lending general moral support. The following teach- ers gave of their time: Miss Mary Hasselkus, Miss Shirley Brown, Mr. Grant Walls, Mr. Cornell Monda. Loan Co.

The soft White covering bright and gayg But black clouds hovering, Soon turned it to gray. It lasted forever, It seemed as though, That we would never Get rid of that snow.

Yes. the hand was playing Pomp and 0li7'C7'lLI72'SlIl7lC14 and I can still remember the look on old R. P. Lfs faee when the trumpets wouldn't follow the stick. Mr. Stevenson was a.nnouneing awards and merits: I won a. scholarship that year. I wish I were back there: we really had a lot of fun. I reineniber our new c-oaeh: Walls was his name, wasn't it? We tied Port Clinton that year after they had beaten us '75-0. I hear that Port Clinton is back in the Little Big Four. They probably have some big brutes who aren't afraid of being roughed up a little. Most of all I remember graduation, It was one of the high- lights of my life and yet I regretted graduating. Those kids donit know how lueky they really are to be going to high school. l donit think they realize it until they are juniors or seniors. They ought to be divinely thankful that a. system of education has been given them. Some try to make believe they are tough guys and put on a big front but underneath they want to be just like the next guy. They put up this front be- cause they dou't have the guts to get up and do things theinselves. Yes, I remember those high sehool. days, the happiest years oil' my life. ale High chool Graduates The war has once more proved the real value of good business training.

I'm way behind where I ought to be . . . This should have been done long ago by me. I labor all period to make up the work I've let slide since we studied the Turk. Next period is chorus where we all enjoy singing. Third Period-Chorus The bell has rung . . . We're ready to slng. She passes the music . . . I don't know a thing . . The first one we try is terribly hard . . . We sing much too loud and have no retard . . We go to the next one and lt's just as bad . . No one can get it, and to listen-Egad! But finally we come to a song that's O.K. We all like it better . . . less sad and more gay, And so we sing for the entire hour . . . Some notes sound sweet but others quite sour. Fourth Period-History Back from lunch to the afternoon session, But I'm in no mood for a history lesson . . . Class comes to order . . . We all take our seats . . . Today's assignment was to learn Caesar's feats. Mr. Walls starts the class and asks a question of me Who conquered the Gauls is the questlon, says he I stop to think . . . Oh, gosh! Oh, gee! I knew the man . . . now who could it be? The assignment's of Caesar. Could that be the man? He was a Roman so maybe he can . . . Caesar , I say, in my feeble way . . . The answer is right . . . 'Tis my lucky day . . . There'll be lots more questions, but others he'll ask. So thus far this period I have done my task. Thus passes hist'ry and there goes the bell. It's a welcome sound as we all know well. Fifth Period-Advanced Algebra Fifth period has started and class has begun . . . Mr. Chandler gives problems and mine's the last one. Wow! it is the hardest, and of course I don't know The right way to do it, so how can I show The answer and work when I go to the board? To tell him I've not got it, I cannot afford. So I'll go up and try it, and hope for luck. 'Cause if I don't get it, then I'm really stuck. I go to the board and fuss and fume, But work it out and escape the doom. The others had problems and theirs are done We check our papers, and I missed one. He gives an assignmennt for the next day's class . . So we all get to work in hopes that we'll pass . . . But working's no fun so we all start to talk, Until the bell rings, when to English I'll walk. Sixth Period-English iacross the halll This is the last period, until school is out . . . The subject this period I know little about . . . We've learned how to write and I cannot tell How many words we have learned to spell . . . Putting commas and periods I cannot do well, But I keep on writing and struggling along . . . I hand in my work be it right or wrong. And so goes My Day from eight until four. I've run out of words so I'll write no more.
