A MAN FOR THE AGES SQUEAKY Life has gone on, Through ell of its stages; Now Lincoln is A man for the ages. A symbol of courage, He lies in his grave; One could not discourage, The love that he gave. Born in Kentucky, In eighteen-o-nine; He; os a speaker, Became very fine, lie ran for the senate, To Douglas he lost; Said Abe to himself I will not be bossed. He became our leader, Number sixteen; With men of all kinds, Our hero was seen. With Douglas and Johnson, With Sherman and Grant; His motto, I can , And never, I can’t . His address was immortal. His leadership, great; His truth, always shining; His form, tall and straight. His sympathy, tender; His courage, still strong; So I am writing. To praise him in song. He was shot on Good Friday, Frou this might we learn; That he like the ITaster, Will some day return? Now open your textbook. And thumb through the pages; There you’ll road about, A man for the ages. —James Rice ’55 There was a mouse named Squeaky She said the roof was leaky. She ran up the ladder; The cat made it sadder. That was the end of peer Squeaky . --Barbera Putney ’57 ONCE TO EVERY NATION A man, his name was Lincoln, A great leader, good and true; Now drink a toast to Honest Abe , Abe Lincoln, here’s to you. —James Rice ’55 WINTER WONDERLAND The sleigh is pulled Along the snowy white road, By the poor horses On this day so cold. Women wearing fur coats. Men wearing their long-Johns Children in new ski-suits And choirs singing their song. Winter does not last long. But OH I What fun it is though} How we like the silvery moon And others do we know. —Jane Flower 56 THE MOON At night when you ore walking Down a dark and lonely road. It seems so good to be able to look up And see the shining moon. At times you think it will explode. --Jeane Farries 5$ Once to every nation, Comes a man so brave; A man who’s open-minded. Who hides not in a cave. :

SCHOOL There are too mcny people who fo to school to have fun Instead of getting what knowledge they can from it. Some people lust go to school for something to do and not to learn anything. They think they know almost everythin there is to know. Many parents have different opinions about their children1s education. Some think if a child does not get good grades and doesn't want to go to school, he should not be made to gOj Others think that a child should not leave school until he has his diploma or until ho is eighteen years of age. If a child leaves school before he is eighteen, he is not old enough to get a job, unless he is at least sixteen years of age. Many times one has to have a dirlomr before ho can get a job, so it is best to go to school until you have a diploma. --Doris Clark f$7 RICH OVER NIGHT Did you ever hoar of n farmer's becoming rich over night?
