Art, writing noted pa Something happened to me in this year of 87, something that will affect me and stay with me 'til my last day. The loss of a loved one sounds like a preacher and doesn't seem to have the full effect, until it is yourself that is experiencing the situ- ation. Someone you've lived with and obeyed all your life, and looked up to in every situation. When you go on a trip he's the person you miss, when you need help with a problem he's the per- son you go to for reference....! got a phone call the other day, they asked if my father was Home, I said.. 'Yes ...and silently hung up the phone. by Pat Becher Tree The tree was strong and very mighty as was its shadow upon the dirt. When rain was scarce the tree would mumble. “Oh great sky please save my thirsty bark. The sky would answer with a storm to turn the dirt and dust to mud. Today the tree's shadow I cannot see for a lumber- jack came to fulfill his dream. The tree I miss most everyday and now I have only one thing to say. I miss you tree! by Jill Siekmeier It's In There Somewhere I cannot find my poem with papers strewn around. Where is that piece of paper on which my assignment can be found? I slipped it into my notebook, into that messed up stack. Now my notebook's got it and will not give it back. So if you really want it, to find it will take all day. Or if you're in a hurry — forget it and give me an A. by Jason Liebis 10 Student Life

Lost Love A smile painted on the face the sorrow in the eye. The untold secret locked inside a pain that wouldn't die. A shadow on the every move a soul that was not free, A terror burning in the heart forever it would be. A life torn apart by the ultimate test. A long-lost love that would not rest. A person tortured by the feelings in the heart. A person's life slowly coming apart. by Nicole Shada Columbus Sales Pavillion It's a quiet summer night. I can smell the new fallen rain. In the darkness I hear nothing but the sound of a passing train. I now hear them wailing at that stopping place to Hell. They do not know what awaits. For them, it's just as well. I remember reading of Hitler and all the millions he did kill. I do not like to think of it. The reality gives me a chill. We say that it is necessary to kill so we can survive. But what gave us the right to say who dies and who stays alive? And so we go on living, working for our mutual gain. I go inside and fall asleep for I am feeling no pain. by Jason Liebig Never Look Back I felt the large hand as it grasped and crushed my shoulder. And as I turned ever so slowly to search for bottom in the depths of his eyes, they became cool and icy blue that instantly froze. I felt a shiver run down my spine and a tear run down my cheek. From that moment on I never looked over my shoulder. by Beth Rickard Art writing 11
