46 A Warning To All Nancy Gray '49 Oh! this bed is tiresome, as tiresome as can be, And remember all who read this, never try to ski. It hap ened in December, on a hill so very small, It seezed almost impossible that anyone could fall. My friend skied down so slim and slick, I thought that one just stood, And let one's self just slide along, But this I later found was wrong. So then I gave a great big push and down the hill I slid, Bet you can't guess what happened next or even what I did My skis got hooked around my head And next I knew I was here in bed. So let me warn you never to ski Or you'll break you neck just like me. 1 American Boys Dorothy Marrotte '49 There is a beautiful land That's the best in all the world. The home of the brave, The home of the free, The home of love and liberty. This year will not be, Like every other year, For our boys are fone, far and wide. So throughout the year we all will pray, For their safe returning, home to stay. we all hope too, for the war to end, And let every nation be peaceful, And helpful, obedient, and free The home of love and liberty.

47 NSpr,1ng1! , Nancy Gray '49 About a week ago I saw a robin for the first time this season. I then knew spring was here even though it was not March 20th yet. It was warm and everyone had changed from heavy winter coats to cooler summer ones. In a few more weeks heavy sweaters and skirts will be gone and cool cotton dresses will take their place. The ice on the pond has melted much to the skaters' sorrow. The snow is about gone so skiing is now impossible. We don't mind because practicing for the coming baseball season takes up our spare time. The schoolroom is much more pleasant now that the windows can be opened and the cool breeze floats in over the busy pupils. The flowers on the window sills have turned a bright green and have opened their sleepy eyes after their long winter's sleep. They are happy to see the dreary sky now clear and to find the sun is shining brightly. The birds come flying north in flocks that are beautiful to see. Animals come creeping out of their winter hideouts to lie in the warm sun. All these beauti- ful things turn the whole world upside-down and everyone is re- I freshed and has lost his weariness. He takes on new hopes and ambitions and his work is done with a renewed vigor. Everyone can look forward to spring, the rich and pool alike. As spring comes the whole world smiles. ' g why We Should Buy War Bonds Jane M. Lepisto '50 We should buy war bonds because our boys need planes, guns, tanks, and also bullets to feed their guns- The war bonds that we buy give our boys all of these things and will help bring them home sooner. ' Here is an example of a boy who is doing his job on the home front. He lives in Waterville, Kentucky. He was rejected from the army, but as I said before he is doing his part on the home front, buying war bonds and stamps. One day he was walking down the street with his girl friend. He was being followed by some soldiers of the armed for- ces. they back were They kept telling him that he should be in the service. But did not know he had been rejected. His girl dropped off in of him while he went along and she said The boy that you following is doing his bit on the home front. I want you to follow me and I will show you what he is doing. They followed her down to the post office window, they saw the boy buying war bonds. She said, Now, do you see he is helping you win this war? So let's all try to save our dimes, quarters, nickels and pennies so that we can help fight the axis, and bring our boys home sooner. ' y
