MAKE USE OF YOUR STUDY PaRIODS |
All of us have study periods, home-
room periods, or library poriods, in
which we are supocsed to prepare assign~
ments and study }
Do we make use of those periods,
which are given us so that our hime as-
signmerts can be finished in school,
thereby letting us have more of our free
time to ourselves?
Many ninth graders do not have any
free periods, with the exception of home
room, That is as good a place as any to
study, so why not buckle right down and
make use of precious time?
There are only about two more
months of school remaining, so let's get
as much out of school and school study
periods as possibie.
SEATING IN ASSEMBLY

JUWIOR HIGH POETS HONORED
Four junior high students have the
honor of seeing their poems published in
the May issue of the New York State Eiu-
cation magazine. The Crimson and White
takes the liberty to reprint some of
these poems, These poems were written
last year in seventh grade,
CLOUD SHIPS
As I lie in the meadow upon the grass,
Over the hill come
Proud Shiys with all sails set
Then I wish as I lie there,
Oh! how I wish that I could be
The captain of those milk-white ships
With the blue, blue sky as the sea.

THE PEEPERS
In the spring,
The peepers! voices ring
nd souetimes you dream
Of little baby chicks
Hiding in their mother!s wing
ia their voices ring
Like peepers,

RIP VAN WINKLS
A fellow naiied Rip Van Winkle
Who was exceedingly lazy,
Had a wife whose constant nagging
Nearly drove him crazy.
His children ran in the streets
Without good clothing or care
While he loafod with his dog named Wolf
Whose adventures he did share,
One day he took ,to the hills
To escape Dame Winkle's tongue
With Wolf trotting slow at his side
And his gun on his shoulder hung.
On the way to the Catskills! top
They met a aueer little man
Who carri
And wore an
He led Rip to a hollow deep
Where other dwarfs such as he
Were playing a game of nine pins
That went on noisily.
The temptation to look in the jug
Was too mch for unfortunate Rip,
So in it he stuck his nose
fund took a lot more than a sip.
Soon he began to grow sleepy
While hi ad vent 'round and ‘round;
His eyes began to close slowly,
And he fell asleep on the ground.
e@ awoke
slept a night,
Ss gone,
Bee
In twenty yoars
So he went baci: to the town
Where he couldn't believe his eyes,
For the change of twenty years
Was a very big surprise.

DID YOU SEE GUNGA DIN?
Almost everyone in Milne has read
Rudyard Kipling's poem, Gunga Din. Snme
smart director in Hollywood decided to
make a picture based on the poem, and in
my humble opinion, he did a very fine
job.
Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.,
and Victor Mclaughlin played the varts
of the three buddies of the Bengal lan-
cers, Sam Jaffe takes the part of the
water carrier, Gunga Din, and does one
fine job. The picture is cramed full
of excitement and action.
The last scene shows the ruriel of
Gunga Din, and although most of the aud-
ience was in tears, it really was a very
icent scene, So, all in all, I
A Din is one of the top-
ranking pictures of the year.
