PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
Bv Karen Brown, 10,

8. j. Bowen School,
OF all the seasons Of the year
I like the springtime best;
That's when the buds come on the
trees
And birds sit on their nest.
I like the summer, winter, fall,
But springs my favorite time of all,
For that's when Nature does her best
To get into her prettiest dress.

The 18th of April, '75-"It was
young flood, the ship was winding
and the moon rising" wrote Paul
Revere of his crossing the Charles
on his way to Lexington. Then
"a hurry of hooves in q village
street"-and Longfellow's legend
swallowed a man. A solid man, q
family man "a children, master
artisan, trusted citizen. And withal
he was an ingenious Yankee who
fashioned false teeth "of real use in
speaking and eating" He printed
money, made ammunition for the
Revolution, fine church bells, and
at IS the first sheet copper In the
United States for Old 1ronsideS.
But it was his silverwork he loved
and we have many pieces from

For each sweet day makes us sing

to take the job. Certainly 1t would
be a great humiliation to take it
under such circumstances.
In effect, he would have been told
by Congress that he was not deemed
fit for the Office and could not be
trusted wisely to handle large sums
of money. This coming from a body
over which he has presided for four
years would be pretty tough for a
