BOYS I think that I shall never see, A boy who quite appeals to me, A boy who doesn't always wear, A streak of grease upon his hair. A boy without a silly grin, And one who tucks his shirt-tail in, A boy whom cars mean nothing to, But boys like this are very few. Upon whose mind has always been, Sports and cars and sports again. Boys are liked by girls like me, But a perfect one we'll never see! Cynthia Anderson '56 Phyllis Hurley '57 R, H, S, PUPILS OF RICHMOND HIGH Richmond High School, We, the pupils of Richmond High Best by far, Are trying very hard to strive, In all our sports, We're up to par. We have the best In Glee Club and Band, We have the finest in the land. Dolores Kennedy '57 We work and play, and then We say: Farewell, Farewell, to Richmond High, ' Faye Hanson '57 HURRICANE HAZEL The wind howled and the rain came, And many a tree didn't stand the strain, The flood waters rose until at last, The people were forced to get away fast, But as quick as it came, it went away, And the people haven't forgotten to this day.

WHAT THE 4-H CLUB MEANS TO ME The 4-H Club is one of the best organizations in the world for boys and girls between ten and twenty-one years of age. It teaches them self-preservation and how to do things for future years. 4-H stands for head, heart, hands and health, and the club motto is, To make the best better, That means a lot if you just stop and think. It means that there is nothing you can't do better than the best, I have been in the regular 4-H club for five years and this will be my fourth year in the Sagadahoc Cattle Club, and believe me, there is not another or- ganization in the country that I would rather belong to. The boys can show their cattle and vegetables at the fairs and sometimes girls show cattle, Some of the best farmers in the country are women, In the 4-H club girls take cooking, home improvement and sewing and when they show their exhibits at the fair, they make the older men and women's things look like nothing, There is an organization in the 4-H club called the IFFY program, IFFY stands for the International Farm Youth Exchange, where a mem- ber of the 4-H from Richmond could exchange places with a boy or girl in France or some other colmtry for a few months, until they learned the farming methods of that cotmtry. 4-H'ers are the cream of the crop and Tomorrow's Leaders of America, Frederick Raynes '57 n THE SEASONS Autumn is when squirrels gather their nuts, build their homes and little huts, Winter is when boys and girls all like to play, and Santa comes in his little sleigh, Spring is when the old folks come out and breath the air, and the children play without care, Summer is when all the people are gay, and the farmers are out cutting their hay. Alden Dore '55 SENIORS OF R, H,S, We are the Seniors of R, H, S, , and of course we think we are the best, The halls echo with our footsteps clear, and the Freshmen cringe when we appear. Next year the Juniors will step into our place, but of course they won't do it with quite as much grace. As we said before, and it's said by the restg We, the Seniors, are still the best, Dorothy Wheeler '55

4 L Y r r If L K 4. L 1 THE SHORT LIFE OF A PUP On a dark stormy nightin the spring of '53, a litter of pups was born in a dreary cold barn. The mother and her tour pups were not discovered for quite a few days. When they were found, all you could see were four squirmy black and white balls 'of fur, with a small resemblance of pointer and spaniel. As the pups grew older, the family who owned them decided it was about time to get rid of them. I got one, a wiggling white fellow with a black face and saddle. I never saw a pup that was so easy to get over leaving his mother and to train. The first thing he learned was to ask to go out when he wanted to. At times he seemed to leam pretty well and at others, he seemed to forget everything he knew. One thing he never forgot though was to sit up and speak for his meals. I-le loved to ride in cars and wasn't the least bit afraid of them. I suppose he should have been, because that's how he was killed, six short months after he was born. Lorraine Bennett '57 NO POEM I sat right here for many hours, and used my head and all it's powers. A little poem I could not write, although I sat here all the night, Last night went out, this morning came, and Ihuug my empty head in shame. This day is gone and Ihave fear that I will not write a poem this year. Phil Dow '55 A FRESHMAN'S LAMENT' Examinations may come and go forever, but when I do these darn old tests, I never pass them, never. This morning first of all, we had English with Mr. Briggs. I got so muddled up in that, I'm sure I must have aged. Next thing was math, and so 'twas said is the easiest of all. If I had my way, it's a cinch I'd make for the study hall. After recess is civics, oh say, what will it be? Some say it is easy, but like math, it's all the same to me. Last but not least is French, at that a dumb-dora am I. It wouldn't be really hard at all, if I knew when, how and why. And if you think you need a rest, good grief, look at me I I Jane Polland '58
