THE PETERSHAM COUNTRY FAIR If you were in Petersham on the bright Sunday of September 17, you would have seen a rather unusual sight. About five hundred people crowded through the Petersham High School grounds and gym. What better reason could they have had except to attend the old time country fair that was sponsored by the Petersham War Service Committee in connection with the scrap drive? A cattle show, pet show, games, exhibits of garden produce, canning, flowers, as well as Petersham handicrafts on display made up some of the attractions of this fair. During the afternoon the Petcrsham band augmented by players from LBarre, Athol, and Orange furnished a musical background. One of the other features of the afternoon was a base- ball game between New Braintree and Petersham. Years ago Petersham used to have annual fairs, and by com- ments overheard, as well as a petition signed by over three hundred people, everyone was pleased to see this old custom revived. Even before the end of the day people were planning for the next years nPetersham Country Fair.N N Laura Knowles '46' Winter Korning Never would nature fill you full of scorn If you could see unbroken snows With the first pink tinge of dayn And tiny flakes that the wind blows. As far as your eye can glean, Reaching, unbroken from wall to fence, The snow white, pure and serene. All this at nature's expense. From your window, you see below No traces of human being, Just waves and waves of drifted snow A sight quite worth the seeing! The wonders of all nature comes to you And glorious thoughts, but as a rule Your thoughts are more practical too, For joyfully you know that TODAY THERE IS NO SCHOOL. Laura Knowles '46'
