Poems By Falling Spring
Pupils
The Cardinal’s Song
The cardinal’s song is a song
that is old,
He sits in a tree as bold as
can be,
His song is so sweet,
Hear him say “careet,”
He prophets the weather to
tell whether you may raise wheat,
And then he finds himself a
nice little seat,
And starts his singing of
“careet, careet.”
When the cardinal is wanting
a mate,
He sits in the sumac until it
is late, late,
He sings with a chip,
‘Til you think he would rip,
Then by the brook you hear a
faint chook.
And with sticks and mud from
the brook,
They make the a nest that is
too fine to look,
When the little ones fly
away,
He goes back to the sumac,
And makes merry away

Wishes and Doubts
One’s greatest wish during
these bad days,
Is a world without a war.
But when there’s Hitler and
that Jap sap,
We’ll have to fight much
more.
It doesn’t hurt us any to
wish,
For some heroes brave and
strong;
So don’t we wish with all our
heart,
Superman could come along.
He shall never leave his
funny book,
(I thought he was such a
man),
But I’m beginning to have my
doubts,
Can he do what’s thought he
can?
-By Sue Jennings,
Sophomore.

Play
Presented By Sophomore, Junior And Senior Classes
Last Friday, members of the
sophomore, junior and senior classes presented three pays. A small admission was charged each child who
came, and we had a very nice crowd.
The first play was “Dr.
Cureme’s Busy Day,” with Bobby Dressler as the doctor who wanted to get rich in
a hurry. Other characters were Julia
Bennett, Mary Keyser, Helen Lowry and Nellie DePriest. Each one did his part well.
The next play was “Hiring a
school ma’am. Five matronly ladies
decided to hire the teachers instead of the men. The ladies were Hazel Kern, Ruby Humphries,
Helen Powers, Lucille Peters, and Irene Rucker.
She finally decided she didn’t want the job. All are to be congratulated on their parts.
The third play was a longer
play called “Too Many Wives.” Poor
uncle, played by Willie Alderman was in a jam when he found his young nephew (Katherine
Lantz), had four wives- Blanche Martin, the maid – Helen Johnson, a friend –
Mary Blanche Hartless, a cousin, and his real “Honey Beau” Jane Kern. The story ended happily but poor Jack sure
wasn’t sure. Everyone did a very good
piece of acting.
Everyone seemed to enjoy
taking part in the plays. The auditorium
was darkened and the footlights used, which made the plays seem to be given at
night. Miss Armstrong and Mrs. Pentz
coached the plays.

Do You Need Help?
Ration Book No. 3 is being
sent to most of the families now, and you are supposed to be filling them out
yourselves. If any of you folks need
help, the teachers at our school will be glad to help you. We are not assigned the job but will be glad
to help if you find you need help.
Complete instructions have been tacked on our bulletin board in the hall
so maybe some of the older boys and girls can answer your questions by looking
on the board. Remember they are not to
be mailed until June 1st and not later than June 10th.History of Seniors

shoes. The other girls who are in the
Glee club have been practicing songs for the commencement and for the
baccalaureate sermon.Boys’ Sprots
The boys took some exercises the other day which made them all stiff. The boys did push-ups and lie down on your back and rise up and touch your toes, which were done over 200 times. Push-ups were over 100.

Imagine?

Kellison not going down to Frye’s Tea Room?
Mary Blanche Hartless robbing the cradle? Randall Johnson being the most
truthful person in “air age” class? Why Ellen thinks Hubert Fuller is

Freshman-Sophomore News
The
members of the general science and biology classes went on a “mountain hike” on
May 6th. It was a hot day and
the mountains were steep.
Each
freshman and sophomore made a book of wild flowers. Many of these were attractive. If you cannot identify any wild flower you
see ask one of them what kind it is.
One
of the three plays, “Dr. Cureme’s Busy Day,” was presented by the sophomore
class on May 14th. The
following students had parts: Bobby
Dressler, Mary Keyser, Nellie DePriest, Julia Bennett, Helen Lowry.
Junior-Senior News
Helen
Powers entertained the seniors and friends with a lawn party and dance
Wednesday, May 19. This was a very
enjoyable affair for all present. The
night was very bad but everyone went and had a grand time. One good thing was that it happened the night
before the ban was put on gas.
Last
Friday night the juniors and seniors had a wiener roast at the Cascades. The guests included members of the sophomore,
freshman, seventh and sixth grades, too.
Most everyone walked up the Cascades and “ran” down. Everyone seemed to have a very enjoyable
time. This “gala” affair, too, happened
before the ban on pleasure driving took place.
Miss Armstrong and Mrs. Pentz went along. Both report a nice time and a
nice group of boys and girls.
The
juniors will not get their rings in May as reported. They hope to get them in September. End
