The Language Arts Fair is
over. All of the rooms were
very nice.
Last week we had our tests.
Most of them were very good.
Friday 23 of us made a perfect
score on our arithmetic weekly
test. We were very proud of
। this record and hope that the
. other six will get on board next
; week.
In English class yesterday we
wrote some original poems. We
hope you will enjoy these:

The Rainbow
By Bill Everitt
I went outside to look awhile
When it suddenly started to
rain.
! I ran in the house and sat on
the couch
Till it almost drove me in
sane.
It rained seven days, six nights
and a week
And I had to stay inside.
But the big, bright, yellow sun
came out
And my eyes wandered far
and wide.
When I’d looked around for a
while
I said “Nothing seems to be
dry”
Till up in the clouds I spotted
the rainbow.
Dangling up in the sky.
It’s colors weren’t tarnished or
beaten.
But seemed so cheerful and
gay,
Just sitting and smiling and
singing
On a wet and mournful day.
Said I, “What makes you so
light and gay,
And oh so brave and bold?”
Then the rainbow answered me,
■ “It might be my pot of gold”.
When I went in the house and
came outside
The rainbow had gone away.
; So I said to myself, “He’ll come
again.
Whenever there’s a rainy
day”.
Susie Bell's Two Big Toes
By Linda Scarborough
When I was young I met a lady
Her name was Susie Bell
She had an adventurous excit
ing life
Os which one I will teLL
She was so poor that she had
no house
She only had a few clothes,
I The queerest thing about Susie
Bell
Was that she had two big toes.
. were guests Sunday evening of
(Mr. and Mrs. Earl Starr.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Her two big toes were as big as
a cow
And she became worried a- !
bout them,
For every time she walked out
side
They got caught in a limb.
One day a fairy came to her
house
She told her she could have
one wish,
Susie wished that her toes were
smaller
And now her toes are as small
as a fish.
Robin Hood
By Gail Norman
Robin Hood and his merry
Were once a long time ago.
Riding through the dusty glen
On the way to the picture
show.
The wind blew hard,
And the trees bowed down.
I sometimes believe
That they touched the ground.
But Robin Hood and his merry
men,
Were happy as they rode
through the glen.
Until they came to a fork in
the road
Where everyone picked up a
load.
The load was heavy, the men
grew sad
And they decided to rest.
But Robin Hood who was very
bad
Went to kill them with zest.
Robin killed all but one.
Which was a very bad thing.
For the one which Robin didn’t
kill
Killed Robin and began to
sing.
That’s the end of my tale, dear
folks
You who have listened so
well.
Come listen again some day.
And again I will tell my tale.

In Hawaii some people wear

In Hawaii it is very warm
But they can still have a storm.

To beautiful, sunny Hawaii,
Where pineapples grow, and

And dancers sway to and fro.

Lino
By Mrs. H D. Lancaster
It was our privilege to visit
the Livingston School one day
last week, where we met some
of the fine staff of teachers, who
showed us samples of their
work, their equipment and
facilities with which to work.
We were also shown through
the ultra-modern, gleaming
kitchen and dining area. To say
that we were much impressed
with the clean, orderly manner
in which the lunch room was
kept, as well as its up-to-date
furnishings, would be putting it
mildly.
The County has caused to be
proud of these two new seats
of learning, Livingston and
Heard-Mixon Schools. The chil
dren who attend them are our
most precious heritage, they
deserve the best.
Our good neighbor, Mrs. Rob
ert Cook, was sick last week,
but happily she is on the road
to recovery at this time. Some
of those who visited her were
Mrs. Lizzie Steadham and
Arthur. Margaret Yancey. Mrs.
Ruby Satterfield and Mrs. H. D.
Lancaster.
Bige Dodd reportedly will be
returning home for a few days,
after which he is scheduled to
go back to Georgia Baptist Hos
pital tor further observation
and treatment.
Loved ones and neighbors
were overjoyed that Kay Cofer,
who has been hospitalized at
Alto for some months, was able
to return home for a few days.
It is hoped he can be home for
good before too long.
Rev. and Mrs. Charles Moody,
accompanied by Berta Lancas
ter, enjoyed a pleasant hour
with Mrs. Dora Speer and Mr.
and Mrs. Plez Knight, on the
same afternoon they had a nice
visit with the Robert Sullivan
family, (Mr. Sullivan being sick
at the time) from there they
drove on over to see the Kay
Cofer family in Henry County
for another enjoyable hour.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Wheel
er have returned from a second
honeymoon trip spent at sunny
Miami Beach.

Our New State Hawaii

Its mountains are high,
They almost touch the sky,
It’s a vacation land,
With beaches of white sand.
Our New State Hawaii
By Terry
Hawaii will be our newest state
We no longer have just forty
eight.
It lies far across the sea.
A part of the land of Liberty.
Hawaii
By Lorie Hegwnod
Hawaii is a beautiful place,
A place we want to go.
They wear a necklace made
of flowers
For that’s where many grow.
Hawaii
By Dianne Massey-
Hawaii is beautiful
Hawaii is far away
Hawaii grows fruit
That is good for me.
Our New State Hawaii
By Don Floyd
Hawaii is a land of sun and
fun.
Hawaii is our new state,
I want to celebrate
It will be fun to sit in the sun.

CHECK THOSE GLASSES
A recent survey by the Mu
