BOREAS 19 l SENIOR PLAY CAST OF THE CLASS OF 1944 Seated rl. to r.l: G. McMakin, H. Pierce, F. Tibbetts, M. VanDyk. Standing: C. Lane, G. Goff, E. Lidstone, M. Beane. CLASS OF '44 What Tibbie wants it's plain to see, Is someone who's just six foot three. Martha wants only to talk of Randy- To the rest of us he's never handy. A quiet corner where he can be alone Is what Erwin wants for his very Own. Elisabeth writes essays against chewing gum, Yet when you look up, she's sure to have some. Do we wonder what Mildred is going to do? Well she'1l always be writing to the boys in blue. We wonder if Hazel will always have luck She thinks she will, if she only has Puck . We question the fact of Florence's being a crank Evidently not, if one should ask Frank. It falls on Floriman to tease the girls Tickling, pinching, even pulling their curls. To please Geraldine the thing to do Is just to make the whole school new. The seniors all say Christine's aim is to be Manager of clerks at the A. 8: P.

I+ 18 BOREAS rels and rabbits were gathering their winter's supply of nuts. As I slowly walked away from the stream, I came into a back field, part- ly grown up with small fir and pine. I heard the chitter of a squirrel, and a nimble deer leaped across the open- ing into the darkness of the woods. Following her were twin fawns look- ing for protection, There were various kinds of birds gathering to chatter about their jour- ney south. Later I came out on the main high- way and I happened to notice a sign Game Reserve . I was then satisfied to know why the animals were so friendly and tame. This was a pleasant walk, especially since the leaves had on their variega- ted fall coats and the seven sleep- ers, bear, snake, frog, raccoon, skunk, chipmunk and woodchuck, were get- ting their food for winter. Mildred Beane '44 lk Ik Ik FF ON TOP OF THE WORLD Suddenly I found myself walking on top of a cloud. I couldn't imagine where I was at firstg but after a while I found out, and it gave me a feeling of satisfaction to think that I, James Ingraham, had broken all the laws of science by actually walking on a cloud. The air, at first, seemed very thin, but it did not take me long to adjust myself to this condition. I walked a- long with comparative ease, hopping from one cloud to another. After stretching my legs in this fashion, I sat down on a large billowy cloud. It felt just like a feather mattress, and I couldn't help thinking that maybe this cloud was made up of some of those feathers I had lost in my last pil- low fight. As I sat there thinking, or trying to think, I saw a brilliant glow on the not-so-distant horizon. I rose slowly from the cloud and as I did, I realized that this glow was the most brilliant rainbow that I had ever seen, but even this strange and wonderful sight did not stir my blood so much as the yellowish glow at the end of it. I stood amazed as the thought of what the yellowish glow really was. It startled me so that I began to run to- ward it. It didn't seem far. I ran, and, as I ran, my feet seemed to take wings. I passed big clouds and small clouds, fat clouds and thin clouds. And then as I came from the midst of an especi- ally large cloud, I stopped in amaze- ment, for there in front of me sat all my fairy dreams, that fabulous pot of gold. With a mighty jump I leaped to- ward it, but just then something hit me. I looked up and saw my younger brother and heard my mother calling, Come to breakfast. James Ingraham '47
