' if nnzor Gems fWitl9 apologier to Ben Franklin, Bad marks are always blamed on the teacher! But, who gets blamed for the good marks? Study today is worth an A tomorrow. One friendly smile deserves another. -'Nancy Romine Ink eradicator can't wipe out the spoken word! An enemy today may be your assessor tommorrow! Tomorrow is yesterday while you're thinking about it. -Bill Key Respect your teachersg they will respect you Work now brings a fruitful harvest later! -Allan Iybarn He who thinks a high mark will do anything, will do anything for a high mark! Nothing is so small that it does not deserve recognition. Be careful when you make a remark relating to character for a good remark will not erase a bad one! -Leonard Willett One way to Mrs. Etelman's heart is through the Mattakeesettl -Ernert Warbburn Never throw your jawbone into gear, 'til your brain is turning over. - Yvonne Grijitlu You can't stay inside and know what's going on outside. -Carol Early Definitions? Homework - Overtime! StudyHall - Rest Period! -William Webb union Composites COLD DRIZZLY RAIN It comes in torrents, In the night fell a cold rain over the house. Is the weather forecast? The rain and wind went through everything that cold stormy day. Rain streamed down the window pane, blurring all objects outside On a cold wet day in February without snow, without ice! THE BLOODY BEAST The bloody beast - our dear teacher - The bloody beast moved toward me with great s peed And then the bloody beast lay on the floor stiff! For as the trap was set, the bull drove his horns into the bloody beast! 'l52l

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Some say Christmas shopping is fun But all I do is run, run, run! A tie for Dad, a shirt forjim, But what'll I ever get for Slim? I'd like to get nylons for Sal, And something cute for my best pal, But trallic's terrifhc and I'm so blue For what will I get for my friend Sue? And as I watch people walk by Without a smile or laugh, I sigh, For even Christmas fails to brighten Tired folks so sick of fighten'. JUSTINE WEST, '52 CHRISTMAS NIGHT Christmas - a quiet night - The tree is all alight! For the boy, a ball, For the girl, a doll. Miseltoe hangs above the door Gifts are spread o'er the floor As everyone starts singing, The doorbell begins ringing, People come from everywhere THE SEASONS In the winter when it snows, Santa comes with all his toys, For the little girls and boysg Skating is the favorite sport, Snowballs too, and big snow forts. Springtime is the beauty season, Birds appear without a reasong Leaves then too, begin a showing, Higher in the sky the sun is glowing Warmer days now do appear, Ice and snow we no more fear. Summertime is here at last, Comes our boat with its little mast, Picnics, swimming, days of fun, Under the hot August sun. Fishing, hiking and even Camp, Leave us with their friendly stamp. In the autumn the trees do shed. Their leaves of gold, brown, and red. Gardens now give up their loot, And the orchards yield their fruit. Back to school the children go, And days of learning begin to grow. Bringing presents here and there PHYLLIS LIBBY 53 And then they sing to everyone Noel, Noel 'til the dawn brings the sun! JEAN DRAKE, '52 CHRISTMAS TIME Christmas seems to bring a glow That you can really feel, Cheerful as a friendly And every bit as r May this glow reach just as it has befo And cast its warmth re al ut to everyone C, out us To day and ever more!
