WAKING UP When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill, And wakens the birds on our window sill, Our hearts are Hlled with gladness, as dawn slowly comes, To begin our day At S. A. PATRICIA LITCHFIELD, '56 MAY In May little flowers lift up their heads, To bask in the welcome sun overhead, Little birds sing their sweet little song Happily and cheerily all day long, Thankful to God for letting them share The beautiful month set aside with care To honor and praise the Queen of Queens- The Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother.

The sun now shines on all the trees To give new life to their green leaves. The blossoms of the apple trees Perfume with sweetness every breeze. But why does spring from day to day More beauty add to her display? To answer this what does she say? For Mary's month, the month of May. NANCY CONNEEN, '54 SEASONS First comes winter Cold and bleak, Next comes spring-time Soft and meek. Then comes summer Bright and gay, And autumn next in full arrayg But most of all I like these three- Summer, spring and fall for me. CARLENE PICARD, '54
