SCHOOL AGAIN Wlhen vacation time is ended And the school year has begun It means that all of us youngsters Must leave all our fun And go to work in earnest For I'm 'sure you will agree That if we are a success in life There's work for you and me. There are some who're really trying To climb the ladder of success But in spite of this the most of us Are calling them fresh , However, if they keep on trying As we see they're started out, By the time that School has ended They'll know what it's about. The Sophomores are a funny group They're neither first nor last, But they are very happy to know The freshman year is past. And that they now are venturing Toward the Junior Class And after they've left the sophomore year, They have nothing else to fear. The Juniors are a busy bunch, For they have much to do. They have to bolster up their bank And give the senior's banquet, too. And when the term is ended They leave 'school with a cheer, For all successfully have Reached their senior year. We wonder as we gaze around Upon the senior class Why the happy days of High School ln spite of all-must pall. With tears and sighs and fond farewells We bid our friends adieu As they hand us our diplomas We know that we are through. Teachers, classmates and dear friends 'Tis true that we must part, And out into this cruel world Each graduate will start. We hope our friends good wishes As we go on our way And that we will grow better With the passing of each day.

I r I' PEACE The problem foremost in the minds of the world today is how to live in peace. In this country cf ours where we are without sounds cf cannons and the droning cf airplanes, we hardly realize what it could mean. We go cn and cn talking of war when we should be talk.ng only of PEACE. The Americas, both North and South, are in the positicn to teach and lead the way of peace. Ours is the most wonderful, and most blessed natcn in the world. No place else is there freedom of speech and press. We can know both sides of every question if we wish, or many sides if there are more than two. We have many problems within cur nation which need all of the attention of our people- but, since the modern devices of transportation and communication bring us so close to the rest of the world it is necessary fcr us to take notice of what is going on, as it affects us much more than most people understand. We have our Congress! Men chosen to rep- resent the people! Wie should give them our assurance of loyal support and trust, as history repeats a house divided against itself cannot stand ! Let us, the youth of the nation, talk peace! Think peace! And encourage peace! Students of Parma High let's help to find a way out that the world may enjoy the good things of this earth as is our heritage. Let the United States lead the way to ever- lasting peace. Once the Prince of Peace said, f'Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the Children of God. Olive Campbell. --P.H.S.-i THE PROBLEM Said the artist: Ill give you five dollars if you'll let me paint you. The old mountaineer shifted his tobacco from one cheek to the other and back again. It's easy moneyf' said the artist. Thar hain't no question ,oout thet, the mountaineer replied, I was jus' a-wonderin' how I'd git the paint often myself afterwards! -lP.H.S.-l THE REAL THING Lady, if you will give us a nickle my little brother'll imitate a hen. You mean he can cackle like a hen?l' Naw, replied the boy in disgust. He wouldn't do a cheap imitation like that, he'1l eat a woimf' ?-P.H.S.--- DEFINED Mrs. Dunbar: Donald, why are you so late this morning? Donald Johnston: 'fMy mother had to wash my peninsula. Mrs. Dunbar: Your what? Donald: My peninsula! Didn't you tell me yesterday that a peninsula was a neck of dirt? 22 A WALK IN THE WOODS One mtrning I was suddenly awakened from deep slumber in my HAMMCCK by the loud cltnglng of the CAMPBELL. I jumped out and yelled, f'Dcn't worry, lVLcm, I a CUMMINGS. I woudn't miss that good fried HERRING and HC NEY and biscuits for anything. Having eaten my breakfast, I decided to go for a welk in the WOODS. As I GAHLEY walked along, I heard some birds who were very good WHISTLERS. ImaginQng me to be one cf thcm made me think that there's really nothing MOORE exciting cn sea NOR-LAND than flying in the air. Soon I came upon a little stream that was filled with MOSS and water-CRESS. After walking several more yards I came upon a place that was once used as a CORRELL but was now inhabited by millions of grass-HOP- PERS. Meandering cn a ways I came upon a little store. I was glad to stop here for I could get a cool drink from the little FOUNTAIN. I asked the little man with LAFLIN wrinkles around his eyes, who owned the store and found that he did. I asked him where he was born and he said, UOSBORNE in SCO'ITland.l' I asked him the PRICE of a package of gum and he said a NICHOL a package, so I decided not to get cne. Later I met a BISHOP who was also out for a breath of air. Presently I came upon a little GREENBANK that was clustered with YOUNG ROSES. I picked a few to put on my BURAU and then ambled on again. Even though my legs are STOUT, I had GROEN tired, so I decided to cut through some I-IEDGES and a STUBBLEFIELD and make my way home shorter. Wfhen Mom saw how tired I was, she said, UGEE I'll GRANT youire pretty tired. W'ouldn't you like a HEIMBURGERT, Yes, I quickly repliedg and put some of that GOOeyING WHITE stuff on it. Put it between some GRA- HAM bread, too Mom. Ida Norland. 1-P.H.s.-1 WHAT WAS IT? It was during mess and the orderly officer, glaring down the long table, demanded if there were any complaints about the food. Private Jones rose slowly and extended his cup: Taste this, Sirl' The officer took a sip, hesitated a moment, and said scathingly: Very excellent soup, I call it. Yes, sir, agreed Jones, but the corporal says it's tea, and the cook served it as coffee, and just now I found a toothbrush in it! P.H.S.-l ACTION WANTED Two senior girls were discussing men. Asked Jessie, Which would you desires most in a husband-brains, wealth or appear- ance?,' Appearance, replied Mary Jane, and the sooner, the better!
