Little baby birds chirp saftly In their nest under the eaves While the ir mother keeps them warm. I sit in my slant-roofed corner, In my old distorted rocker, Reading my books and dreaming. Brave sailor lads steer their ships the rain and fog before me Through Bearing down on a pirate host. A iight and the lads are victors a friendly rainy day Give me And adventure books in the attic. .Howard Wright - '58 ..,g- KTVTENITFC- TIME When the sun drops below the horizon And the moon lights the sky, The stars in heaven are twinkling And we hear the whipporwill cry. The perfume from thousands of flowers Floats out on the gentle breeze. The lovers out in the garden Are laughing with joy and glee. Alone! down in the meadow, With his heart full of joy and cheer, The mocking bird is singing For us poor mortals to hear. Raymond Carroll - '58 WINTER Who is he so brave and bold As to defy the winter's cold? While the wintry winds howl and blast And snow and sleet is driven past? Who is he to stand and say, Come, winter, come and go my way. Bo he man or bird or beast He'll ne'er turn back the elements in the least. But when the springtime comes at last And the warm South wind comes blowing past. Then shall they rise and say Come, spring, come and go my way. Donald Weekley - '58 g 9, 5

Then you should have attended 'assembly at Tyler high Friday, December 7. Lights slowly brighten, two beautiful life-size portraits come into view -- one of a lovely young girl of Martha Washington's timeg the other of an equally attractive young lady of more modern times. In the distance a clock strikes twelve -- the midnight hour at which all things are possible, And--is it possible that those painted figures move? They do! Slowly,sleepily, they yawn. Then with fully awakened vigor each speaks. Startled by the voice of another, each peers from her frame and hastily draws back. Then, hesitantly, 'each figure steps down from her place and comes forward. Thus 'begins HA Midnight Fantasyn, a one-act play star- ring Mary Spencer and Mary Ry- ,mer. fCNews-feature,December l3,l934J mggjjmm . .... mmgninrxxg
