MAZURSKY’S, Inc. ! SCHOOL POETRY: The following poems were siibmitted to The People-Sentinel by Prof. L. E. Whittle, of the Healing Springs school, and are the composition of two mem bers of the 7th grade of that institu tion: Constant Work. I can recall those precious spots upon that hill, ‘ And particularly the one on the back pbrch, where Mother stood. I can hear her voice a-calling,'calling still, M Come bring me a turn c£ wood.” Oh, how we did like to play, And Mother always wanted us to work, We’d creep like snails, as if we had ail day, ^ We’d always try to shirk. Mother wag after us all the time— That is, two girls and a lad— ' We wouldn't move for a nickle or a dime; It would make us terribly mad. After we fetched the wood all in, And went back to our swing, you see Mother would work us till it was a sin, Especially May and me. I’ve thought of it afterwards, .prany a time, . How we did when we were young, That fs the reason Fm making this rhyme, — Telling of the switch. How it stung! Hark! I can hear her still Calling from a distant hill: “Come here, May, it’s no time for play— I’ve get to bake a cake; tend to the baby; When it is dene youTL tget some, maybe.” When it is done PH fill my craw; I’ll thank the one who made it; That will be my Ma. —Evelyn Whittle. COLUMBUS. Fourteen hundred and ninety-two; Columbus sailed across the blue. In those day g the people so wise; Did not known how this woridl lies. They thought it was flat and in the ^4tea/* * IimiUttf Ct vLlovy And to cross the ocean was a risk. But Columbug was a brave, wise man; For he believed there was another land. He traveled everywhere, far and wide; Without finance or a guide. Secured help in a far oft landi; And with a few, a little hand, Sailed away acress the water; Left the shore and the people in their laughter. But something seemed to say, “Do not fear;” There’s a shore not far over there. So for three weary months rode the foam; With troubled hearts as they thought of home. I .O' they Ate last they reached our beautiful land; Without any casualties in the little band. They knelt down and gave thanks to God; Where white man’s foot had never Ring out his name in Glory; As you read the beautiful story, Of his adventure across the sea; He discovered a home for you and for me. —^Miriam Odom.
