The Night Ship sails on the dream seas, Away to the land of dreams, And gets, in return for its cargo, A bag of very sweet dreams. MARIE LYoNs, 5B3.

The sky is grey, all through the day, And the children are kept from outdoor play. The sun is hid in the sky of grey. That's how it is, on a rainy day. EVELYN IVIARKUS, 6A3.

Noah's Ark Animals, animals, in Noah's Ark! The cats that meow, the dogs that bark, The cows that moo, the pigs that oof, And the horses tramping, hoof by hoof, The chickens and fowls, The lion that growls, g All these were animals in Noah's Ark.

Z The Dutch lJoll's apron was spic and span They all looked nice but Peter Pan, Ile was dressed in his old rag- ged suit, While Orpheus played his miniature lute. 3 A great big bear was seated there Looking at all with a very wild stare, The engines were running around and around Filling the air with Page E ight a- 'joyous sound.

Cartier In 1534, a Frenchman sailed to Labrador, .A year later he sailed up the St. Lawrence, Which he thought, Was the river that he sought, Ile stopped at an Indian village, The Indians said, If you go any farther, l'm sure you'll fall dead. But Cartier would not sail, back to France, So the only thing was to advance, Ile sailed a little farther on his trail, And stopped at another village That had Hfty houses. as strong as a wall And this village he named lVlontreal, Ilere, a severe winter he spent, Bad nights came and bad nights went, Soon that horrible winter was over, And spring came again with its beautiful clover, And back to France Cartier did come, And he was honored by everyone.

PUBLIC SCHOOL I73, MANIIATTAN-JUNE, l930 My Dilemma A scratchy pen is the worst thing I know, Especially, when the ink won't flow. And when it flows, it flows too fast, And on the paper makes holes, at last. The pen stops and starts and jumps and scratches, And so my writing shows in patches, I cry and scream and tear my hair, And hnally give up in deep despair. Pnvtus REUBEN, 4Al. -X- 'X' if -5. 'Yesterday Where we live and play today, Forest trees used to sway, There were no skyscrapers that are so tallg just trees and log cabins that was all. BERNARD Sci-xusTER, 4Al. -JP -Y -'C -X Rest Period We come from lunch at quarter to one, We move our seats one by one, We give out blankets and draw the shade And lie down when the cots are made Here we stay from one to two, Helping little bodies their strength to renew. A composite poem composed by the Members of Open Air Class. Washington Heights In the old days of Washington Heights, When we did not see bright lights, When birds were fluttering, And old men muttering, And farmers brought in the hay, On a sunshiny day, Now look at Washington Heights this way MILTON KAMINSKY, 4Al 'X' M' K- -56 Washington Heights Washington Heights, Washington Heights The scene of some of our greatest tights, 'Twas here 'neath an open sky, That American men did hght and die. SINCLAIR KORMAN, 4Al 92 -X -39 -X- My Queer Dream As I was sitting upon the ground, I heard a most mysterious sound, But quick as I was, there was no one in sight But only the moon that was shining so bright I was seated again upon the ground, And again I heard that horrible sound, Suddenly I heard a great big noise, And what do you think? It was Mama and the boys. Wake up! Wake up! they called to me, You've stayed in bed 'till almost three! MILDRED HANANIA, 6133 0 O I O 49 Page Ten
