Creative Writing This section of the yearbook is devoted to the literary efforts of the students. Mr. I. W. Fetherlin and Mr. I. M. Thompson, instructors in English. have collected the essays and poetry written by the students to be included this year. This section also provides the opportunity for the members of the art classes to create designs for the yearbook cover and title pages. Iohn Podzamsky's silk screen was chosen for the cover by Mr. C. Dean Chiprnan, head of the art department. Five title pages were designed and drawn using the silk screen process by members of the art classes. They are "Clubs," Iohn Podza- THE ONE GREAT TEACHER Lord help me to study And lncrease my knowledge That l may further my studies And work on through college Education will offer The tendency to see Thy splendid creation Thou hast set before rn By You my Creator My life s path ts planned Please make me worthy Of thy helping hand Help me to remember To dispel all my fear msky: Activities," lane Ianisch: "Sports," Iohn Margolf: "Commencement," Ieanne Owens: and "Creative Writing," Vonnell Mastri. lohn Podza- msky, a junior, designed and drew the cover for the Christmas program. The spring program's cover was designed and executed by two sen- iors, Roy Becker and Paul King. Much of the poems and prose in this section have been accepted in the National Anthology of Poetry. Some of the students have had two or more of their works accepted which makes them eligible for the Creative Writing Club.

Trees are budding leaves appear All relotce for spring is here Flowers open to the sun Closing up when day ls done Birds in treetops songs they sing Now and then fly off on wing Skies boast blue white clouds float by Soon the ground begins to dry Blades of grass begin to show In contrast with the melting snow Well wom sleds are put away Baseball and swimming here to stay School kids stopping for a chat Wlll tell you they are happy that Winters gone Join ln the cheer All are glad for Spring is here' Karen Wood 59 The magic golden of the stars is slowly slipping away and the pink blush of morning is stealing over the hills It gathers crescendo until the still waters are crimson with its light A shadow floats over the forest a heron on its way to a secluded swamp All is still unul a sudden movement in the mist It is a timid doe and her wide-eyed fawn coming to lap the cool water before the heat of day sets m Then they are gone as quickly as they came and there as silence once more The sun rises and the creatures of the day come out to frolic in the sun Squirrels chatter blueiays squawk and a lumbenng bear leads her cubs to the blueberry patch Every where ls warmth and light Dawn has come to the forest Dawna Oberg 59 A THOUGHT Lord, as l sit at my desk tonight, My mind is all in a muddle: In this crazy mixed up world. I wonder just how great is your might. The moment I think of you- The wonders you have done: The miracles you have performed- My wonder of you begins to ensue. And yet as I think without fear. l see a light brightening the way: This is your light which so great, Enlightens my mind so clear.

Barbara Moore '59 THE PASSING OF AUTUMN The smoke from the bumrnq autumn leaves Fills the atr with pungent fumes As it makes its way stealthily through the clouds Forming pattems like lacemakers looms It covers the earth with a volume of grayness As long as the leaves still fall Now the trees stand barren devoid of their foliage With open arms to the fall IDEALS OF THE PIONEERS They fought for every mch of land They fought wtth gun and sweat and hand They built their homes and toiled on Till all the light of day was gone They worked each day the broad expanse Yet they were glad to have the chance The chance to live and work and pray The chance to see a harvest mown And on that day theyd proudly say This house this land rt ts my own X!
