HANTIOLEER HRHYMETTES' CORNER OLD RICHMOND SCHOOL CONTROVERSY On the first of September we all came to school and most everyone said we're going to see :his thing through. We sat here on strike for many weeks, While the county school boards sat flat on their seats. And along came election day with everyone busy in some sort of way. We were campaigning for those who could help us win. And it sure did help, because they all got in. Then one day the good news came-Old Richmond will be opened and all will be the same, so we all went back the very next day. Everyone was proud, happy and gay. It went before the State Board of Education and Sanford Martin gave his explanation. He said, No, we won't pay the teachers' fare . And the man did this without a thought or care. Then we had a private school from then on, and everything went fine until the bills came along. Then Chairman Kreeger came around one day and said something has to be done about the teachers' pay. The County Board came to Old Richmond, one night and they said, We are behind you in this fight. They told us to do one thing, in a nice sort of way, and that we were to go to Rural Hall or Old Town the next day. The next day twelve of us went to Rural Hall, and we enjoyed the trip, students and all. They've always been our rivalry 'in games of ball. It's not the players nor students, it's just the name Rural Hall. The rest of our students went to Old Town, but I guess it helped us to visit around. When we came back they were noisy and loud, because Old Richmond was back and all were proud. Old Richmond School was almost gone until the board members put us in the Old Town zone.. Now there were some that didn't like it so good but most everyone saw the point and understood. We're back at Old Richriiond, the red and the blue, and we are to stay until they build a new school. Although things have been in aamess, we are going to try to do our best. SPRINGS When spring is here with birds so gay We all feel happy every day. And when the flowers begin to bloom, It drives away the winter gloom. The trees start budding leaves of green, And everything is looking keen. GERALD ZENE BROWN LOVE LORN As reverent as a silent prayer, As silent as the spirit there, As perfect as a present new, As radiant as the shining dew, So is my love for you- TANYA NAYLOR CHARLES PETREE SPRING The days are getting longer, And the weather not so coldg The flowers and trees are budding I think winter is getting old. The robins and the other birds Are coming back to sing, As I see all this splendor I think it must be spring. JOHN ROBERTSON
