QifQiiWFiiiTTF'viH' The Big Doings of Grade Seven This is the first year the students of the Sev- enth Grade have played basketball. This sea- son the boys of Grades Seven and Eight have played six games, won four, and lost two. The girls have played only one game. It was with Pembroke. Although Pembroke was victorious, we do not feel too bad about it as it was our first game. We hope we won't become known as the Brooklyn Dodgers. Much to the dislike of the pupils of Grade Seven we were put back to the old routine of all subjects in one room except for one science period a week and all sewing and physical edu- cation periods. On Wednesday the pupils of Grades Seven and Eight have an extra period for club activit- ies. The girls have a Dramatic Club under the supervision of Miss Mayo. CI wonder how many Ethel Barrymores or Helen Hayes will come out of this.J The boys have a period under Mr. Knowlton's supervision. Science, which was quite dull, has turned into an interesting subject due to the interesting talks and explanations by our new teacher and principal, Mr. Rogean. Oh, yes, I almost forgot! We must not let our class hero go unsung. Elmer Goldman saved the life of Billy Vanyes. On Friday, Feb- ruary 27, Billy Vanyes, while skating, fell through the ice at Jacob's Pond. Elmer quick- ly pulled him out and rushed him home, where he put Billy to bed and got him a hot drink, saving him from possible pneumonia. JACQUELINE FELLINI, Grade 7 HF if Z all Sk Uncle Sam Who is Uncle Sam? Do you know who he is? He is our country, our flag, the stars and stripes represent him. He is our government. We, the people, elect men to run our government, a pres- ident, a vice president, and other officials. There is a congress which makes laws and says whether we will have war or not. We are the children of Uncle Sam. We have soldiers fight- ing for Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam has many fac- tories making things for defense. Now do you know who Uncle Sam is? James McHugh, Gr. 6 ak wk Pk Pk ik The Painted Desert The Painted Desert is in the state of Arizona. It is a desert with sands that are many colors. How did the sands get that way? It happened like this. The desert was once a normal desert. After a year or two the sands became all colors. The sun was so hot it caused all the sand to turn to different colors. One of the animals of the desert is the deadly rattlesnake. Its name is the side-winder that goes sidewards instead of straight ahead. David Turner, Gr. 5 Listen, my children, and you shall hear The fate of Grade 7 in yonder year Bennet and Le Conte, that vaudeville show, Are playing at Carnegie hall, you know. Janie has caught him in a net, Who? Why Warren Ekstrom is courting her yet. Connie Goddard a spinster remains 'Tho her heart for Billy Pearson pains. Elmer Goldman, that man of knowledge, Has started that joint called Elmer's College. Eva Jackson, that popular blonde, Has crashed the movies and way beyond.

She's down in the south by the coral reef. Jackie Fellini, Miss Know-it-all, Has married that dark-haired James Shortall. Agnes Higgins still loves to sew, While husband Bobby sells mistletoe. Little Joseph, first name's Dick, Is in the hospital very sick. Natalie Wilder is his nurse, So he got better and didn't get worse. Geraldine Henderson is the bowling queen.

The Shipbuilder A Prophecy BY CAROL LEONARD TIME - 1952 PLACE - Bus driving through New York. I reached in my cluttered purse and pulled out a well-worn dollar. I handed it to the driver. Was I surprised to see George Joseph. He gave me fifty cents back even though the price was a dollar. The bus was crowded so I took the only vacant seat. There was Betty 'Snowdale riding home to to her hubby, David Hills. She showed me her newspaper. On the Hrst page was written, Constance Bailey gets scholarship to Professor Frye's College. After a while I asked Betty what the commo- tion was. She said it was just Helen Simpson Calias Torreyj trying to handle Donald Junior and Senior. The bus swerved around and a small but live- ly man fell on my lap. It was none other than George Wyman. He said it was his stop and he had to hurry right home to Lillian, so he gave me his card and got off my lap. A well matched couple got on when George got off. Carol Newcomb! Ah excuse me, MRS. ROBERT COULTER and hubby. Oh, I wish those twins would let my hat alone. Their pretty nurse leaned over. Nancy Has- kins! I asked her who she was working for and she said The Bennetts. Who are they? I asked. Of course I knew it was Clarence and the former Betty Hayes. The bus jerked and I saw a young man with an encyclopedia walking across the street. It was Builder. I mean Mr. Builder. We started the bus once more and a tall girl caught my eye. Who was with - why, Pauline, where did you pick up Prescott and Horace? The bus stopped, so we all got out. I said goodbye to Betty and bumped into a blonde man! How could I help it? It was William Hubbard. I called a cabby and jumped in. Why Wil- liam Jackman, what are you doing here? I asked him to drive me to the nearest theatre. He had his radio going so I heard this flash - Jitterbug Oldmstead has just revealed middle name - Bonner. I paid the fee and went in the theatre. The ticket taker looked familiar and I soon found it was Louise DesJardins. I strutted in and found a seat by a small couple, Dottie and Ernest Wessman. On the stage, came a singer. She called her- self Shirley Howes. On either side of her was a girl. They called themselves Lili and Lulu. I knew when I saw them it was Kay and Bell. A dark-haired man turned around. I'm Clar- ence, he said. Jones, of course. With him was Louise Jackman. The news began and I saw Makowski and Vayens, the two great fighters, on the screen. After the main feature I went out into a little drugstore. The waitress brought some water which I gulped down, without noticing it was Marilyn Lambert. I gave my greetings and or- dered a coke. Arthur West, the jerk, I mean soda jerker, made it for me. He put too much lemon in it, but that was all right. Beside me were some newly-weds, Hall and Merita Goddard. West put on the radio which said Leslie runs fifty yard dash in four seconds flat! Who's that coming out of the phone booth? Oh, Norma! How's Junior and Bill Kenyon? Well, here's Charlie. So goodbye. ill if III lk i To All Americans By Elizabeth Jean Ross, Gr. 9 Lift your heads high, Americans! Be proud of your native land. Thank God for your fore-fathers' courage and faith And honor their hero band. Yes, honor them, Americans, Your glorious birthright, too. Make them glad that they lived and struggled and died For the freedom they gave to you. Lift your heads high, Americans! Resolve in your hearts today, To fight, and to work with all that you've got, And save freedom's dying ray. Work hard NOW, Americans, And with God's help, youlll win, And keep working hard after war has gone byg Don't stop when once you begin- Lift your heads high, Americans! And make your country the best in the world! if ll i ll ll There Is No Frigate Like ci Book It seemed as if I stood on a snow capped mountain looking out over a world unfolded before me. Below, nestled among the rolling green hills of New England, were the tiny vil- lages. Next to this scene of peace and content were the dirt and heartbreak of a London slum. To the west a determined man, clad in deerskin and holding an old rifle in his strong hands stood by a flooded river. Behind him was a covered wagon containing his family and all their world- ly belongings. Turning my eyes to the north I saw, high on a Swiss alp, a small girl and a boy outlined against a crimson sunset. It seemed that I stood there, watching the world go by. though I had not left the warm fireside - for I held in my hand a key to people's hearts, to cities, and to the world. I held a book. J.
