Our Birthday Club t 4 Winners in the poem contest this week arc: Mary Louise Klein, Salt Lake, 100 points; Morris Brlnkcrboff. Hbntingtoh, 50 points; Marguerite Caine, Cestlegate. 25 points. Morris had the right idea when he wrote: "I am sending you two poems. You may choose one or both I might as weir stand a chance to win as many points as I pan, even If I am behind right now. I notice one boy has 300 points, and it is going to take some hurrying to beat that." Even If you have not yet won a single point, come on and try. You can never tell who will be the high man in June. The one who trice over and over again, the one who never says "die," Is the one who is going to come out on top. SCHOOL WORK. "Now you must do your lesson," Mother mu3t often say; That's one thing that takes time-Y- es, even more than play." Why study what we Just forget?" The children always fret. The one whose lessons seem real hard . Will have to conquer now, Or else be afraid of his poor card. And bring a frown to mother's brow; It even hurts a healthy boy When hie report cards must annoy. But when you've studied very hard. And you receive a right good card. It makes you very proud to say "I earned this by hard work each day." So study while you're young and free, And pleasure in your life shall be. MARY LOUI3E KLEIN. 8eventh Orade. o A PATH. If you want a path to travel. Why don't you come to me?
