Student speakers from the four eighth grade classes will present talks on “Citizenship in the Home, School and Community,” “Citizen ship in the State,’” “Citizenship in the Nation," and “Citizenship in the World.” We hope all parents and relatives will attend. We want to thank the Black Mountain News staff for publish ing the Elementary News Round up and Mrs. Cunningham for re writing and sending it in on time. Rachel Rhodes, Joan McCall. Under the supervision of Mr. Gouge the seventh and eighth grade girls have helped to make the gymnasium look new. He picked three girls from Mrs. Cun ningham’s room, one from Mr. Mills’, one from Miss Lindsey’s and two from Mrs. Sorrell’s. The school got fifty dollars from the athletic fund for the paint and varnish. Black and orange paint was used for the lines. After the paint dried, the girls varnished the floor. Mr. Gouge has asked Dana Kelly and Mary Stockton to paint a sign to tell everyone not to enter the gymnasium without gym shoes. He has also given strict orders not to enter and walk on the gym nasium floor without permission. —Dana Kelly, reporter. Mrs. Mann’s Second Grade. Our grade mothers gave us a lovely Easter party.

Our class has been doing many interesting things throughout this semester. In English we have been writing poems about spring and how it makes us feel. Here are the three we chose as the best ones. Reginia Stafford, Connie Taylor, reporters. Four little clouds are in the sky, And one is about to cry, The sky is blue, the clouds are pink, And one big cloud is about to wink. The snow is on the mountain, And water is bubbling in the fountain. The peach trees are in blossom And the things I know, I have forgotten. j —Carroll Robinson. I Spring. Spring has everything to see, Flowers, butterflies, birds, and bees. Daffodils, tulips, lilies, and roses, : And most of all those pretty little I posies. Birds and bees by the dozen, There conies a robin and a bunch of cousins. So when Spring is here in fifty six, Don’t be in the house like a dried up stick. Don’t forget what I said, When you hear the birds get out of bed. Get out and enjoy it while it’s here, Cause you might not be around next year. I love the flowers and the birds, And I love to hear the birds sing. But what I like most of all, Is that wonderful word, Spring. •—Frank Inman. Spring Has Loveliness to See. I think no one could ever sing A song as lovely as the Spring. With loveliness always to sell, With loveliness for me to tell. No other season could ever bring The joy I find in the lovely Spring. With flowers blooming every where ; Plants are sprouting everywhere. Trees with leaves all turning green, More beauty than I’ve ever seen. But when Winter comes around, Snow covers the ground. And after I’ve had a long Spring rest, I think Winter is best. —Jimmy Nichols. Be phepmd, U (jutok. t/» Sfrti/Hg Mth&! (^) Urs. Burgess' Seventh Grade.
