Poem Study The Sixth grade has been study ing poems about nature and Spring- We hgye memorized “The Daffodils” by William Wordsworth, “Trees” by Joyce; Kihner and “Song from Pippa Passes” by Rob ert Browning. After this studv we made some original poems. Here are three of the best: Spring I like to hear the birds that sing: I like to watch the leaves that swing; ^ I like to watch the butterflies Fluttering in the clear, blue skies. Tis Spring, Spring, Spring! Klugh Connor, 6th grade. Fishing Fishing can be lots of fun If you catch many Or if you catch none; It’s fun to dig the squirming worms, To wade in water that ripples and turns; Then to go home for supper and rest; It all is fun, the very best! John Langley, 6th grade. Spring Birds flying in the air, Bees humming everywhere, Flowers and trees and everyt'.ing Well, what do you know, It must be Spring!

Fifteen years is a long time in anybody’s life— and especially is this true of the bus industry, which has an entire lif*c span of little more than a quarter of a century, tl * 15 years of vital, uninterrupted service—15 years of steady wages for Greyhound employees V{ho have helped build this prosperous-commu nity—15 years of intimate, friendly association .... is a history in which we take pride. It shows that Greyhound truly shares in the life and interests of the people it serves. More Buses, More Service Needed and on the way Today people are on the move as never before! With every bus working regularly, with everyone at Greyhound doing his utmost, travelers still are sometimes inconvenienced. Hundreds of new buses are on order. When they are delivered, you can expect finer, and more frequent service, additional com fort . . better travel in all respects than America has ever known.
