Rhyme and Reason, June 1970 (Front Cover)
Editor's note: I chose to transcribe these passages from the original booklets, instead of scanning them in, to save space and allow them to be downloaded more quickly. I hope no one minds that I only copied works written by children from our grade; it would have taken much longer to get this page online if I hadn't. I have faithfully tried to preserve the original formatting, text, and typos.

The Third Edition of Rhyme and Reason is dedicated to
Miss Iris Muegel
Academy School 1929 - 1970
"Children are creative persons; they use
language as the artist the world over and in
all ages has used his medium, not as an end in
itself but as a means for the expression of
thought and feeling."
Hugh Mearns
The boys and girls of Academy Elementary School have
many opportunities to express their ideas about countless
subjects throughout the school year. Some of these thoughts
were so well written that we would like to share them with
you.
The samples of creative writing included represent all
age levels of children attending our school. We hope you
will enjoy this second edition of "Rhyme and Reason."

Daffodils are nice,

Pussy Willow
Pussy willow so soft and gray,
Your face is like a ball of furry fluff.
It has nothing to do,
Standing all by itself.

Mr. Snowman
Fat and happy
Big and jolly
A jolly old man.
Do you know that he is melting now?
Going, going gone!

Bikes
Wheeling, sqealing

Flip, flap
the pedals go.
Around and around
the wheels spin.

My Pets
I have a little dog,
And he eats like a hog!
I have a little cat,
And she caught a rat!
I have a little bunny,
And she is funny!

The Spooks
The spooks are out, look out.
They'll get you!
Black cats are out
And I'm out too,
So, Look Out,
It's Halloween!

I have a little clock that always
goes tick-tock, but when it stops it
shouts tick-tock.
That silly old little clock, tick-tock?

I see Spring.
I see a woodpecker pecking at the wood.
The days are longer in the Spring.
Birds sing, the wind blows.
