Grade 6 (as of Sept. 2015) Using a Pen and Writing:
World’s Greatest Need
A little more kindness and a little less greed:
A little more giving and a little less need:
A little more smile and a little less frown:
A little less kicking a man when he’s down:
A little more “we” and a little less “I”:
A few more laughs and a little less cry:
A few more flowers on the pathway of life:
And few on graves at the end of the strife.
Page 72
22. Grade 7 (as of Sept. 2015) Using a Pen and Writing:
Indian Summer
Along the line of smoky hills
The crimson forest stands,
And all the day the blue-jay calls
Throughout the autumn lands.
Now by the brook the maple leans,
With all his glory spread;
And all the sumachs on the hills
Have turned their green to red.
See Class T-2 for Amateur Photography,
Junior Division
Now, by great marshes, wrapt in mist,
Or past some river’s mouth,
Throughout the long still autumn day
Wild birds are flying south.
23. Grade 8 (as of Sept. 2015) Using a Pen and Writing:
The Song Of The Ski
Norse am I when the first snow falls:
Norse am I till the ice departs.
The fare for which my spirit calls
Its blood from a hundred viking-hearts
The curved wind wraps me like a cloak:
The pines blow out their ghostly smoke.
I’m high on the hill and ready to go A wingless bird in a world of snow:
Yet I’ll ride the air
With a dauntless dare
That only a child of the north can know.
