..,. TO A SCHOOL DESK Dear desk, so marred and scarred, You bear the marks of pencils hard. Your head of straight brown hair Is filled with names of children fair, Your legs are full of scratches And the paint's in need of patches. On you no honors are bestowed Though often you have carried a load. No longer, dear desk, will we be Sitting thoughtfully on your knee. The time has come for us to leave And the future for us is hard to preceive But in our mem'ries dear Your frame will always be quite clear. -JEAN Posry ON GROWING UP Growing up is very hard As you can plainly see It seems that everything we do Is always wrong as can be. But then there comes a later time When we don'L fall up the stairs And we don't stumble over tables and chairs. And create a lot of stares. So you see we're finally growing up And oh! What a wonderful feeling, We feel so very puffed up and proud Youid think we'd hit the ceiling. -Kirrv BYERS PREPARATION People must have numerous traits Love, charity and other things. People must have all of these, If they want to get their harp and wings. -DONALD MYLIN CLAMOUR GIRL-1944 Grimy face, Wet with sweat, Hair plastered down, 'Tis no more her bright crown. Broken nails, Dirty slacks, To job she'll stay, Glamour girl of today. -ANN BRADSHAW Me-.Ia-JL! A Parma THE STUDY HALL CLOCK The clock hangs upon the wall. The hands go round so slowly, For students in study hall, Who do not like to study. This same clock upon the wall Makes time go plenty fast, For those who study hard The periods soon are past. -Cum!-: WITMER TO OUR TEACHERS Our high school career Has come to an end, And now we go forth To a different trend. For the boys Their future's already been The majority will serve With Uncle Sam. planned, Girls will be nurses Or housewives or teachers Some will be farmers, A few may be preachers. Makes no difference Where our paths may wend, Always a tribute To our teachers weill send. -NANCY MILLER GAMIN Tattered clothing, Dirty face. Front tooth missing, Slingshot ace. Hookey playerg Duty he'll shirk. Always hungry. Hates to work. Likes to bother Sister's beaux. Soap and water Are his foes. -ADA Ross SAILORS Sailors Home. Girls Roam. Sailors Out, Girls Pout. -MELVIN Hass T231
