This, dear friends, concludes the poety program, broadcasted from Station S.S.S. We hope you have enjoyed our poems. Thank you for your kind attention. Stand by. Station S.S.S. will continue on the air throughout the evening. A boy who swims may say he's swumg But milk is skimmed and seldom skumg And nails you trim, they are not trum. When words you speak, these words are spokeng But a nose to tweaked, and can't be twokeng And what you seek is seldom soken. If we forget, then we've forgotteng But things we Wet are never wotteng And houses let cannot be lotten.

Pa turns a knob, and says, Shh, be still! I just know now that I have Brazil. We sit in suspense and silent fear, That a Chinese word he will not hear. K 1 A shriek! A groan! Like an agonized thingy Then somebody else starts to sing. Next, kiddies, is little Dorothy Good, Who has come all the way from Hollywood. F R Tick-tickety-tick, comes in the U.

THE ARROW-HEAD lwinning Third Place in Poetry Contestl There is a place in Southern California That Indians hold reveredg It is a mountain tall and grand, Where an arrow-head is seared.
