SPRING As I Was walking along the road, I saw a big spotted toad. I saw a bird trying to get a worm. It was so funny to see him squirm. The honey bees were gathering honey. To hear them buzz was oh so funny, The spring day was so sunny- And our ice cream was so runny. I went to the woods to see some rabbits, And to watch them and their habits. I saw a squirrel chattering on a branch, It looked as if he were doing a dance. I saw a butterfly pass me by. He looked as beautiful as the sky. I saw a humming bird humming away. He hummed as though he wanted to play. The cloudless sky was a beautiful blue, And the beautiful bird above me flew. I was startled by the day- That's just about all I can say. MALCOLM COLLINS '62 THE NIGHT, AND THEN- Outside the night was gray, Most objects dimmed from sight, And inside people snoring, Waiting for daylight. In the west the moon was shining, Its light fading from its face, Hanging there majestically, On thousands of miles of space. Also in the vast heavens, Brightly shining, were the stars, And in among those planets- Mercury, Venus and Mars. Then suddenly Without warning, The stars lost all their light, And with them the moon and planets Were lost in the beam so bright. It was the sun, in all its glory That shut out the stars from view, The very sun that keeps us warm And our hearts from feeling blue. A DAY WITH SPARKY Once upon a time on a hot, misty summer day, in July in a little town near the Mississippi River was born a little yellow cocker spaniel named Sparky. Everyday, Sparky would run along the river banks at the heels of a gang of boys. Going in caves and trying to steady him- self on rafts with them was natural. This was a special day for Sparky because it was his second birthday. He woke up to a bright sunshiny day with branches blowing in the breeze. All Sparky could do was hurry. He finished his break- fast and took off in a cloud of dust toward the river to see the old Captain of the river- boat. The Captain picked him up and took him in the cabin for a bone and a doughnut, since it was his birthday. Sparky gobbled up his doughnut and then headed for town. He pranced along the street looking in windows and then, to his great surprise, there was Sugar ia little poodleb, the girl of his dreams. Sparky sprang and jumped like a kitten. Suglar came up wiggling all over and winked at im. He trailed along after her and then Billy, the bulldog, stepped in front of him. Before Sparky knew what had happened he lay sprawled out on the ground. He could hardly move. Women! Sparky didn't Want any- more to do with them. He crawled all the Way home and went to bed.
