The members of the French National Honor Society for 1985-86 honored were: Suzanne Siedel, Grade 12, Ruth Kerwin, Grade 11, Nicole Cunningham and BY Pat Musante Two local people have com- bined talents to produce a book which will be published this summer. MR. BEE AND MRS. BUTTERFLY TRAV- EL was created and written by Maurice Fortier (Forkey) and the art work was done by Gregg Emery. The 26 page book, recently copyrighted, is geared for children but can be enjoyed on another level by adults. Its Dediction reads: \Inevery adult, there is a child; In every child, there is a dream; May you enjoy thoughts of the wild, As you travel through Life's dream.\ Each page contains a lyrical poem employing heavy use of imagery and a corresponding illustration of that image. \The poetry was written rather quickly\ said Mr. For- tie.\ I have written poetry since I can remember and it seems to come easily to me. However, it took me three years to create the images I wanted for jhe illustrations. I knew what I wanted, in my mind, but I can't draw.\ Mr. Forkey worked with six student artists including some on the college level, but, he added, \they just didn't seem to work out. I know it is diffi- cult to illustrate from someone else's conceptions. Then I found Gregg.' Gregg Emery is the son of George and Ellyn Emery of Bombay. His is an eighth grader at Salmon River Cen- tral School and presently takes Advanced Art instruction under Mr. Arnie Sauthier. For each illustration, Mr. Forkey would write detailed descriptions of what he wanted. After working on the illustration, the young artist would submit it for approval. MR. BEE AND MRS, BUTTERFLY TRAVEL, soon to be published, was created and written by Maurice Fortier (It.) and the art work was done by Gregg Emery of Bombay. Many were redrawn several times until Mr. Forkey was satisfied. \Gregg has a true ability to absorb, grasp con- cepts and to translate feelings. I never thought of Qurj|ge dif- ference. It soon became a pro- fessional relationship. He is very talented and has got the character and personality to go with it... which you don't often find. He's also very patient.\ Mr. Forkey said. While Mr. Forkey also teaches remediaLreading (French and English) at Sal- mon River, he noted that the book was not a school project. \Mr. Perkins (SRCS high school principal) certainly encouraged this endeavor, but it was a private project.\ he stated. The illustrations were completed in three months. Mr. Forkey will publish a book of poetry this summer which is comprised of a selec- tion of a hundred poems from more than a thousand he has written. \I was always afraid that people would laugh at my poetry when I was younger, however, when I attended university, some people seemed to think I had ability and encouraged me. I am from a literary family and am look- ing forwrd to earning a living with writing,\ he commented. He is also planning a novel. Fourteen year old Gregg Emery is also working on a mural in the SRCS Band Room depicting several famous composers. At this point in his young life, he is leaning toward a career as a cartoonist. The interesting feature of this book is that it can be read on many levels. Many writers of children's books merely send the material to publishers who employ their own illustra- tors. In MR. BEE AND MISS BUTTERFLY TRAV- EL, the words and illustra- tions are creatively related. The reader experiences two artistic mediums on the very imaginative pages.
