19.11 LITERARY SUMMER The soothing hum of swarming bees, The scent of flowers in the breeze, A gayly rippling little brook, A wild Hower peeping from some nook, On yonder hill the flocks content Munch the green grass from Nature sent. Suddenly some little throat Sends forth sweet strains that seem to Boat O'er all this lovely picture till The Hutter of wings and then 'tis still,- But for the chat of him who seeks A last year's nut to fill his cheeks. Bold pigeons coo and strut about Contented are without a doubt, And the smell of new mown hay, ah sweet! With which the old barn seems to reek. Then a black and yellow butterfiy Dancing in the sun Hits by. Ah! summer, loveliest time of all ' Why must you give your place to Fall, Who turns your green leaves into brown And sends them falling to the ground. And birds, yea, hundreds at a time Go southward, 'tis a sure sign, That Fall with gleaning sickle bold Reaps but a place for Winter cold. Audrey M. Spencer 88

E dward Franklin April 17, 1931 The Annual Junior Prom was held in the West Warwick Junior High School Auditorium, which was artistically decorated under the supervision of Mr. Grinnell. The Auditorium was almost filled to its capacity, and one only had to see the happy couples dancing to the pulsating music of the Night Hawks Orchestra to realize the tremendous success of the affair. The receiving line consisted of: Mr. and Mrs. Winfield Potter, Mr. Fran- cis Mullen, Class Advisor, Henry Shepard, Class President, Mrs. Victor Laurence, Mrs. Frank Duffy, Mrs. Patrick Quinn, and Mrs. Charles Kernan. May 8, 1931 Arbor Day was observed this year with an especially pleasing program. Exercises were held in the Assembly Hall, and Eugene Hebert, Senior class president, was in charge of the dedicatory exercises. The tree was dedicated to Miss Dagny Olsson, a member of the Class of 1930, who died March, 1931. May 15, 1931 The West Warwick High School was represented at the Pawtucket Dramatic Day when members of the Senior Class presented A Patchwork Quilt, directed by Mrs. Mary I. Fogarty. June 22-27, 1931 It is unfortunate that the CHRONICLE goes to press before the Commence- ment activities take place, but from past experiences of the Class of 1931, we all know that they will make this year's Class Day, Senior Ball, and Class Banquet the biggest and best in the history of West Warwick High School. 87

-- .a A SMILE Life is a pathway of struggles Many trials have we to face And if we are to o'ercome them We must do it pace by pace. The path that we tread won't be easy But as we go on day by day Each new piece of work becomes mastered And we soon find ourselves on the way. Success is the goal we all strive for And will get there after a while But remember whate'er you say or do Let it always be with a smile. Barbara olwell, '31 C MAY'S FULFILLMENTS Promises that months of Spring have sought, Sealed by Him who kindly reigns above. Works that only God hath ever wrought, And Spring, the harbinger of love. The birds, the bees, the flowers and all Are glorified by heavenly rays, Answer Mother Nature's welcomed call, Bring us joy and herald balmy days. Those who watch and also those who wait, Welcome May in glad triumphant song. They forget all malice and all hateg Vision right where once they saw the wrong. Allen Webster Joslin, '32 89
