THE SHIPBUILDER BACK HOME FOR KEEPS When out of the battle the soldier comes, From the bugle blare and the roll of drums, Don't think for a minute that he isn't glad, To be home with his sweetheart, his Mom and Dad, He's been gone for many long years, But he doesn't want sympathy or tears, All he wants is to see everyone, And a chance to have a little fun. No more fear of being killed, All his dreams have been fulfilled. No more tanks and no more jeeps, He's a civilian now, back home for keeps. HELEN TORREY '46 Roses Blooming brightly Beside the garden wall Fill the air with fragrant perfume Sweetly. FRANCES MacFARLANE '49 THE STORM The wind whistled through the eavcsg and It whirled light objects about with ease. The skies were dark, but they gave no warning, Of the coming disaster which would strike in the morning. The bridge washed out and the river swelled, All was desolation where people once dwelled. A man remembers this kind of storm, That strikes quickly and does not warn. DONALD MURRAY '49 A GIFT OF LOVE Love is what I have to bring, A Godly, yet, a human need. Life without love, that's not to live. Ah! mine is quite a gift indeed. GLADYS E. LEE '49 These be Three lovely things: The summer rain .... the rose With blushing petal .... a small child At play. RUTH CHIPMAN '49 FRIENDSHIP Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made, And the things in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves, But because of the people who care. It's giving and doing for someone else, On these life's splendor depends, And the joy of this world when you've summed it all up, Is found in the making of friends. SHIRLEY HOWES '46 WINTER VACATION When school lets out in winter, you know, We eagerly greet the ice and snow. For there we find our greatest sport, And vacation week is all too short. First skiis on snow, then skates on ice, And the roaring fire that feels so nice For the weather is cold and the winds do blow, But no one cares - we love the snow. We get very tired and sleep so well, But are quick to answer the very first yell Of friends who come to the window and door, To call us out for sports once more. But it's not all sport, there's work to be done. Such as shoveling to do, and errands to run. The first thing we know our week is o'er, Then back to school we go once more. KENNETH TORREY, '49 KEEP CHEERING SOMEONE ON Don't mind about your triumphs, Don't worry over fame, Don't fret about succeeding, Let the future guard you name. All the best in life's the simplest, Love will last when wealth is gone, Just be glad that you are living, And keep cheering someone on. MARILYN LAMBERT '46 WAITING AT THE WINDOW These are my two drops of rain Waiting on the window pane. Both of them have different names, One is John and one is James. James has just begun to ooze, He's the one I hope will lose. John is waiting to begin, He's the one I Want to win. James is going slowly ong Something seems to stick to John. John is rushing down the pane, James is going slow again. James has met a bit of smear, John is getting very near. Is he going fast enough? CJames has found a piece of fluff.J John has hurried quickly by. CJames is talking to a fly.J John is there. Oh, John has won! Look! I told you! Here's the sun! JEAN HANSON, Grade 8 fifteen

Hayes. INTER-CLASS PLAYS This year, the Inter-Class Plays were given in November. Each play was extremely well done but the seniors carried off the honors with The Command Performance. At last we have reached our goal - the winning of the Cup. Don Simpson, Lois Bell and Louise Jackman lent mysticism to the play in their splendid oriental costumes. George Wyman, as an American idler, was the real hero in the final tense moments, when he gave his life to spare all the others. The Maharajah .......,......,......,...,,.......,,....,.......

The Sophomores gave a hilarious comedy. The Quack Doctor. It was most unusual to see a man climb into his own coffin. This year the school had the largest crowd ever. There were over four hundred people present, The Seniors have hall' of the proceeds to use for Commencement purposes, while the other hall goes to the General School funds for athletics, movies, and other school purposes. sixteen
