Best Girl Citizen For the past twelve years members of the senior class in high schools all over the country have been asked to select the girl in their class that possesses to an outstanding degree the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. This year the name of the Best Girl Citizen was announced to the school on March 17th, and most appropriately so, for the Class of '48 has conferred this honor upon Elinore Shea. Since she entered Plymouth High School in the middle of the sopho- more year, Elinore has taken an active part in school activities. She has served on various committees, and has been an active member of the Glee Club. She was a representative to the S. A. S. in her junior year and during her junior and senior years was a member of the Press Club. As a senior, Elinore was on the Library Staff, and on- the Senior Features Com- mittee for the Pilgrim. She has served most efficiently as Class Secretary for the past two years, and this year she has held the position of home- room secretary and oHice assistant. The Class of 1948 is proud to present Elinore Shea as our Best Girl Citizen.

Senior Poetry Page HAY FEVER BLUES During spring, the people sing Of verdant grass and trees. I don't sing: I sneege! The season after, the people's laughter Rings out on the summer's breeze. I don't laughg I sneeze! Throughout the fall, vivid colors enthrall The people taking their ease. I don't gazeg I sneeze! Winter is here, with weather severe And because of colds people sneeze, I don't sneezeg I wheeze! MALCOLM LAWDAY SAILING A fresh, keen breeze Speeds past me, Swelling The white, rustling sails. High in azure heavens White gulls go wheeling by, O'er stinging spray tossed high In a world of water, wind, and sky. Now my little boat turns playful Healing in the dancing waves- Boisterduh--gay! Forgotten are my worldly troubles, Trifiing worries, too. Life is good- Life is clean-F In my wonderful realm Of the sea. LILLIAN SHARKEY SONG OF RAIN Drenching, chilling, Muted, thrilling, Rain always sings a lilting strain. The rhythm on roof or window sill May be a sobbing or laughing refrain, Ever depending On memory wending Through paths omniscient rain has known. For every perfume love distills More fragrant under rain has grown. WALTER CORREA A WALK IN THE SNOW I walk in the snow tonight In windless peaceg The moon spreads silver light On paths of fleece, And beauty speaks. I walk in the purest snow In soundless space: My footsteps still and slow At tranquil pace 'Neath patterns of lace. COSTANCE JENNEY CREATOR The greatest artists of all time Have never reproduced The beauty of one sunset. The music of the wind among the trees And in the great sea's roar Is seldom found In man-made reeds and strings. The One who made the perfect earth- The green and blue of nature, Who made all light, Made us, And planned That we should turn to Him For beauty and eternal things. MARJORIE RUSSELL DISGUISE Buy a new table, put it out in the rain, Scratch the finish and spoil the staing Dig out the corners held tight by glue. Then get a drill, add a worm-hole or two: Beat it or bang it, make sure that it's bent, Make it sag in the middle like a water- logged tent. Now leave it to blister and crack in the sun There now, the mastepiece is about done. Just place upon it the sign thousands seekg For sale, one genuine, authentic Cantiquei. ARLENE CHRISTIE
