SHE'S GONE WITH THE WIND Red lights all over. Flashing red lights. The great white building in the distance was growing closer as the red lights proceeded forward. The ambulance soon drew up to the gleaming hospital. As they came up the blood filled the stretcher when the mangled body in it was removed. This young man was so close to death and so far from life. So very far. The ambulance riders had been giving him blood and oxygen the whole trip. They operated! He lived through the night and woke up to a beautiful, calm, Sunday morning. Doctors and nurses were milling around. None stopped. Finally a doctor came in saying, Son, you're lucky ! Awful lucky you lived. You should be alright now. Just take it easy. He then left. Soon a beautiful young lady came in the room. She smiled a beautiful smile and placed her hand upon his head. She then left as mysteriously as she had come. After that a gigantic wind came up. The day ended, the moon came up and the man slept. The next day he was healed, felt good, and was permitted to leave. He then asked about the lady that had come in and found she didn't work in the hospital. He left, sore but alive. Another wreck; another victim. One dead and one very close to it. The ambulance hurries to the nearest hospital hoping to keep this victim alive to live another day. This seemed next to impossible. Again this mysterious lady came. The man was healed. The wind blew very hard. The lady was gone. All across the nation in one hospital after another a person was healed. The headline in the newspaper read, Mystery Woman Does It Again. In a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, a young lady was about to die. The doctors thought there was no cure for her. This mysterious Joan of Arc came to her bedside and did her best to save her life. She died. A strong wind like that of a hurricane came. This saintlike figure was seen crying while stopping out the door. The wind picked her up and she was never heard of again. She's gone with the wind. —Warren Woods 8th Grade Spring, 1971

IF WE COULD LEARN FROM ANIMALS (A Child's Story) Once upon a time as all good stories must begin, there lived a lively green turtle by the name of Homer. Homer lived along in a small, nice house on the edge of Flanagun Land. Now Flanagun Land was a beautiful place with tall green grass and red velvet trees, and purple silk rocks and snazzy blue pools of nice, clean water. One day devilish Homer went for a crawl in Flanagun Land. As he crawled along he suddenly spotted a yellow polka-dotted squirrel sitting in the green grass eating nuts. He cautiously ventured over to the squirrel and softly asked, What are you doing on such a fine, splendid morning? The squirrel answered, Just sitting here eating nuts and soaking up some beautiful sunshine. Would you like a nut? Homer thought for a minute and said, Well, I never tried nuts before but I guess I will just this once, thank you. So the yellow polka-dotted squirrel named Fred gave him a nut and they became good friends. Little by little their group got bigger. First, they met Malsy, the pink mouse, then Bronson, the big red owl and then lastly, they met Zip-zap, the cute orange rabbit. They all got to be good friends and lived very happily. In Flanagun Land there were no fights or wars and everyone cared for each other. They lived by the motto: What Flanagun Land needs is Love. Don't you wish the world was like that? —Valerie Gandolfo Fall, 1971 UNTITLED Stoppit! No! Don't! Help! The cockroach scrambled across the tile. Please don't squish me Mister. The large black boot smashed the life from him. Five minutes later back in the cozy insulation the Johnsons were informed of their eldest son's death. Mr. Johnson called a family assembly. They had seven children, their eldest 18 months, the youngest one month; all boys. Mrs. Johnson was in a sobbing coma. She would be crying but cockroaches don't have tear ducts. In her three full years she had 12 litters; all of her offspring had been killed. This would be her last litter since she was so old. She could hear Father talking to the children. He was only two years old and this was his eighth litter. She could hear footsteps coming toward them. The screw at the top of the light socket they used for a window was un- screwing from the bottom. The huge man-face was looking at her. Then the insecticide nozzle stuck in the hole. She was knocked down by the air pressure. She could not get up. Before she died she could hear the screams of horror from the children. —Dwight Bennett 8th Grade Spring, 1971

HAIKU 20 A BABY BIRD The helpless creature That is brought into the world To struggle or die. —Mark Sell 7th Grade Spring, 1971 MOUNTAINS The great mass of earth That reaches toward the sky; Man will always climb. —Mark Sell 7th Grade Spring, 1971 SUMMER DAY The sun in shining; Bright flower buds are nodding; Joyous is our day. —Lorraine Farr 7th Grade Spring, 1971 THE GIANT Big, graceful redwood Standing in a gentle breeze; Frightened by a match! RAIN Rain upon the leaves Soon to fall toward the ground; Then the tree shall thrive. —Lane Maestretti 7th Grade Fall, 1971 The word haiku means game verse. Haiku is part of a longer verse form called the tanka which goes back to very early Japanese history. It serves as a good introduc- tion to the country and its people. Haiku consists of three lines; the first and third lines have five syllables and the second line has seven syllables (5-7-5). None of the lines have to rhyme. Good Haiku, according to critics, presents two vivid images, one usually indicating a general or long enduring condition and the other a momentary perception. The meaning of the two images should not be explained in any way. The reader should make his own hypothesis.
