You go out on the town, Bang! A tire goes down. Then under the car you have to crawlg The fact you've dressed up means nothing at all. Inventors some day, I hope, will discover A tire that will wear forever and ever. Howard Simonton, '55 CIVICS CLASS C is for civics, the book must be read, I is for italics, important it's said. V is for veto, the President's right. I is Ike, the man we all like. C is for constitution, sturdy and strong. S is for Senators, in the upper house they belong. C is for cabinet, the President has one, L is for Legislature, where work must be done. A is for amendments and all their might, S is for students, bold and bright. S is for Sutherland, our guiding light.

Boating can be lots of fun With engine, oars or sail, On quiet ponds or deep blue sea Or even in a gale. Sailing ships and fishing smacks, Row boats, yachts and dories Are lots of fun for anyone, And theme of many stories. Stuart Farnham, '57 WINTER FUN Winter is for fun With rubber boots that Weigh a ton. The man of the house shovels the snow, Dodging snowballs high and low. Gently the snowflakes fall, Making drifts six feet tall. Watch the kids play and jump, While I thaw out the frozen pump. Lowell Jones, '56
