Last week we all tried to
write a good “sound” poem. We
want to share some of our
best ones with you.
Mother's Washing Machine
by Fran Tuck
Slish-slosh, slish-slosh,
Around and around goes the
i wash
Splash-splash upon the door
i Suds will fly forever more.
, On and on goes the steady beat
Sometimes water falls at my
feet
I could sit and watch all day—
but
"It’s time to stop,’’ Mother
soon will say.
I No more splashes upon the door,
Suds can’t fly forever more
Slish-shosh-slish-slosh
Slower, slower goes the wash.
A Galloping Horse
by Cindy Corley
Clippity, cloppity, slip, clip,
clop.
Over hill, over dale
iClop, clip, clop.
Running fast, running slow
Without a care at all.
i Running by with all his might
To obey his master’s call.
A Thunderstorm
by Eddie Nolan
Rumble, rumble goes the thun
der
Rumble, rumble loud and
clear,
Rumble, rumble. I go under
Rumble, rumble, out I peer.
Zot, zot goes the lightning,
Zot, zot, bright and fast,
Zot, zot, goes the lightning,
Zot, zot, over at last.
The Waves on the Beach
by Patti Dyer
Splish! Splash! Splish! Splash!
All over the sand it goes.
Splish! Splash! Splish! Splash!
Standing on its watery toes.
It sounds like the sound
Os the blowing of the wind.
But never does this windy
Sound come to an end.
A Fire Engine Goes By
by Lee Piper
Clang, clang, clang
Something fast goes by,
Who-e-e, who-e-e, who-e-e

Sixth Grade
Mrs. Knight’s Class
These have been such busy
spring days for us we haven’t
had time to get spring fever
this year. In science we be
came so interested in the pre
historic age that we decided to
have an exhibit table and a
bulletin board about it. For
the table we brought moss of
various kinds, rocks, several
kinds of soil, a homemade val
cano, some original prehistor
ic animals of all sizes and
shapes. Out of these materials
an appointed committee fash
ioned a most realistic prehis
toric scene. On the bulletin
board behind it are some of
our original drawings of the
volcanoes, animals and scenery
of that age.
In connection with our stu
dy of erosion and conservation,
we enjoyed a visit from our
Newton County Soil Conserva
tionist, Mr. Jim Knight. Mr.
Knight showed us many inter
esting slides, many of them
taken right here in our own
county.
For National Library Week
we filled one of our bulletin
boards with book reports on
books in our own library. Each
of us had made and illustrated
With siren so high.
All the children and parents
Gather on the street.
Nobody move!
If you don’t want to be
Flat in the street.
Rug Beating Time
by Marilynn Johnson
Blimp, bloop, blip, blump
Try to get out every lump.
Blump, blump, blip, blop!
You beat and beat, never stop.
Dust and dirt everywhere
Dust and dirt in my hair.
I found out it was not fun
Long before the job was done.

Easter Chirken
by Susan Harper
I have a little Easter chicken,
It is very pretty and yellow.
It walks around and around the
chicken pen,
And says to me, “Happy
Easter and hello!”
Easter Bunny
by Martha Cain
Once I had an Easter Bunny,
He was very funny,
He liked to eat honey.
I gave him lots of money,
Easter Sunday
by Miriam Tanksley
One Sunday morning a bunny
went hiding Easter eggs
Hippty-Hippty, Hop. Hippty,
Hippy, Hop, went his tow
legs.
All at once a child came look
ing for the Easter bunny
The Easter bunny said, “It is
Easter Sunday”.
The Meaning of Easter
by Joe Heard
Easter is the day Christ arose
from the sepulchre
Angels rolled away the stone.
Jesus had said, “After three
days I will rise again”.
Easter Bunny
by Dorothy Spearman
I have a little Bunny and he
is very pretty and white,
too
He brings me a new dress and
shoes and I love him very
much.
Hope Easter Bunny brings
everyone a happy day.
Easter Bunny
by Cary Hawkina
One Sunday morning a little
bunny rabbit knocked on my
door. And he had a little basket.
He gave the basket to me. I said,
“Thank you”, and he hopped
away. So I went into my house
and I saw all kinds of eggs.

So, think hard, then act quick
ly! It will make you feel good
to get your rocks, bricks, and
stones hauled off, but your heart
will swell with pride to know
that you have had a part. They
are not asking you for money,
but for something you do not
really need. However, I do
not think we would turn down
any nice check that came in to
make it possible for youngsters
to have a play ground, where
they will build fine young bod
ies, healthy and well. A real
recreation center, and what a
privilege to have a small part
. . . Let’s make it a big part if
we can. You know the Office
Boy’s mind runs wild some
times, but I’m just wonder
ing how many old chimnies are
standing where a house has
burned. . . or just fallen down
. . . and its made of stones or
brick. . . they have not told me
they could use these but you
just tell that committee headed
by George Jefferson what you
have. . . It may be lumber you
do not need. Then see how won
derful you will feel. I’m bet
ting on you doing just that too!
Mental Health Week is being
observed in a beautiful way
down at Newton County Li
brary. Well you just go and
see how! You will find there
Bill Folds, Plastic Flower Con
tainers, all kinds of leather
work, on display there. Why
are they so interesting? Because
of the wonderful Therapy
classes at our State Hospital at
Milledgeville. The patients make
all these things. They are get
ting well by learning this work,
and think what they may do
when they come back home. If
you have never seen the dis
play at the hospital you should,
and they sell them at the hos
pital. . . very cheap. . .because
they are not in business. . . .
they just take the money and
put it back into materials for
the patients to work with. The
ladies make beautiful crochet
ed bootees for babies; baby
blankets, crocheted pieces, beau
tiful pillow cases and many
other things. It’s a wonderful
place to do your gift shopping
... it is most reasonable and
beautiful work. Besides you
will be helping them to help
themselves when you spend
your money there.
Our hearts go out to many
Church Bells
And Easter
Yes, Virginia, there is an
Easter bunny . . . but some
times, he’s a bell.
According to one European
legend, church bells, which do
not ring from Good Friday to
Easter, fly to Rome. On their
way back, they drop eggs for
children to find.
Bell have always been
closely associated with religi
ous observances, reports World
Book Encyclopedia. Long be
fore Christ, high priests of the
Israelites wore bells as a pro
tection against evil spirits.
Since the 500’s Christians have
used bells to summon worship
ers.
During the Middle Ages, bells
were considered spirit ual
things. They received the bless
ing of a bishop and were wash
ed with holy water— a cus
tom popularly known as the
baptism of the bell. The bishop
prayed that the bell would sum
mon the faithful to worship,
drive away storms and fright
en evil spirits.
Bells had other uses, too.
such as announcing the curfew
or calling attention to the no
tices of town criers. They
warned of fires and called sol
diers together.
In fact, the power of bells
to rally people was so great
that a conqueror frequently
melted down the bells of a
town.
his own cover, and these were
quite colorful.
Last Monday night we pre
sented the program at the PTA
meeting and we had a lot of
fun doing it. We had learned
the songs of many states, so
we went on a musical tour of
America. Included were several
folk songs and a square dance.
IWe enjoyed it, and we hope
I the audience did, too.

families who have lost loved
ones this week, and pray God’s ;
richest blessings upon you.
Troubles are instruments with j
which God fashions us for bet- ;
ter things, if we but look to Him
for help.
To all in the hospitals we say
a prayer that the peace and
understanding, and comfort of
a loving God will soon make
you well. The beauty of our
hospital is a real joy when we
are ill, but the loving kindness
of nurses, nurses aides and
workers out there makes you
realize that they are dedicat
ed to their work in making
you well again. The service
rendered there, and the loving
hearts, hands and minds that
work out your diets so well that
the food is so good you just
have to get well. . . and sorter
hate to come home and eat your
own cooking.
Annual Parents’ Day at

when they give a field exhibi
tion. There will be a Tennis
Match at 2:30.
Have you seen Kroger’s new
store, next to the Covington
News! It is beautiful and I can
hardly work for looking out at
my window. However, all is

set to Covington and Newton
County.
Last and best. . .do not for

Sunday Morning: Newton Coun
ty High School Auditorium.
YOU are not only invited but
urged to come.
May I say to each of you a
Happy Easter with your loved
ones, and may the Christ Jesus
God gave us, walk right into our
hearts to stay. . . He will
brighten all life for us if we
but open the doors of our heart
so that He can come in a n d
make life a real happiness.
This broom knows nothing
about Easter. . . for here it
