24 THE WAMPUM . O, ENGLISH! DREAD ENGLISH O, English! dread English! my fear- ful test is doneg My brain has weathered every wrack, but has the mark been won? The end is near, the bell I hear, the scholars all exulting, While pencils scrape the last few lines on questions grim and scaring. But O test! test! test! 0 the cold drops of perspiration! While on the desk my paper lies, My iinal inspiration. A. F. C. '19, OUR TEAM The baseball team of Pembroke High Went up of a sudden into the sky. But Crowell, our captain of well-known fame, Hauled it down from that dangerous plane. Left by Johnson, Graham, and Burkett, dear, We thought we,d have a pretty tough year. But Whitney came from Everett far And rode to school in Bill .Howardis car. We,ve moved the players all around, And now theylre stepping on natural ground. So cheer for Pembroke H-igh once more, And welll be victorious as of yore. C. L. J. 317. A REVERIE If I had the wings of a bird I'd Hy Over the trees to Pembroke High, For the old home town my heart's a- yearning, Back in the place where I got my learn- mg. For in that town I know there's joy, 'Twas there I played When, a barefoot boy - I tucked my book-s underneath my arm And journeyed to school past the Pem- 'broke Farm! And when I reached the schoolhouse there, And saw the girls so pretty and fair, At their beauty I would ever thrill, That is the reason I never was ill. And as I think of my comrades still,- Crowell, Perham, Whitney, and Bill,- D'o they think, I wonder of, the fun we had, When each was a foolish, mischievous lad? If only the Lord would give to me, The little wings of the busy bee, O'er the towns I would quickly soar And land inside the High School door. A. H. D. ,18. THE LOST POEM I had a poem all eomposedg 'Twas jolly and sublime, Not only perfect in its style, But excellent in rhyme. I showed it to an aged aunt, One balmy summer morn, Now mind you, she ,was old and lame, With many an aching corn. She jumped and ran, then hung her head, And next she had a tit, And then she laughed, aye, loud and long, At last, I'd made a hit. She laughed so hard, her ears dropped off, But still she laughed away, She laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed, She laughed the whole long day.

T'HE WAMPUM 25 For many a day she did the same, A limb dropped off each week, So when the first month had gone by My poor aunt was a freak. They captured me, the town police, Then put me in the jail 3 I pined away, I lost my health, Grew wretched, poor, and frail. My aunt soon died, and willed to me The oaken bucket old, I took the bail and got away, The rest of it I sold. This poem has gone, gone from my mind, It fills me full of grief. For thereis one more I'd like to kill, Our editor-in-chief. W. F. S. '17, LOCALS V The class of 1917 held a very suc- cessful fair Friday evening, February 9th, in the Assembly Hall. A short entertainment was given, consisting of selections by the School Chorus, the Boys' Glee Club, and the orchestra. Dancing followed until twelve accom- panied by Young's orchestra. The fol- lowing pupils had charge of the tables: Candy table in the form of a lily pond, Alice Gerow, Ethelyn Hill, and Doro- thy Jonesg fancy articles, Agnes Chris- tie, Mildred Dunn, and Isabel Turner, fish pond, Arthur Donnell and Wilfred Perhamg peanut grab, Thomas Macy, ice cream, Walter Crowell, Willard Snow, and Charles Johnson. A dis- tinctive feature of the event was fortune telling by Mrs. Macy. This department was enjoyed immensely and was well patronized. Both tables and hall were prettily decorat- ed in red, white and green. We wish to thank all those who helped us in making this fair socially as well as financially a success. In October Mr. Coe gave a talk on books, showing which ones are the most helpful to us and why. In February he. gave a lecture on the laws of mem- orizing.

Oral themes were given by two students of the English classes. A good number of the towns- people were present, as well as repre- sentatives from the Relief Corps and Grand Army. The Alumni Association held a Pop Concert on March 16th. A large crowd was present to enjoy the music and dancing. In 1916 at the Business Meeting of the High School Association, it was suggested that two pupils of the High School. one from the Junior and one from the Senior class, be appointed to serve on the executive committee. The motion was carried, and Mil- dred Dunn and Walter Crowell were chosen. 'The Pembroke High School Associa- tion held its fifteenth Annual Reunion and Banquet on Saturday, May 5th.
