- Sitting in the soft green grass with you by my side, watching the ducks as they swim silently by. The wind blowing softly bringing whispers to my ears, telling me love ' s secrets and things I want to hear. I sit here quietly watching the cool water trying to calm, you ask me why I ' m silent, I say it ' s in a song. We ' re all alone and wondering how life will treat us now, but as our hands clutched tighter I was begin- ning to see just how. I ' m really glad to have met you. my troubles have disappeared, but if and when I have them, I ' ll long for you to be near. This all may sound so mushy but I think you ' ll understand, how it is when you like someone and hope they give a damn. KimPebernat 12 Photo by John Merz 1 1 I Lie In a hammock Hie. Feeling refreshing breezes brushing by Wisps of wind On a warm day That cool me — calm me While I Lie. Staring mindlessly at light blue above My mind mingles — My body blends — My soul swings into the air! And I ascend to the sky! But still I Lie. Listen! Stillness surrounds me. All around An absence of sound . . . Silence. A silence different from The lifeless silence Before a storm . . . When the Earth holds her breath. Different from the silence before BIG BLACK BILLOWING clouds blow in — To breathe life back. Silence. Soothing silence. At ease . . . Relaxed . . . I sleep. Mike Paxson 1 1 Just the Same I sit here in this stale smell of smoke I watch the drinkers get drunk I hear some of them yell or laugh and what for? Maybe to impress friends or to hide sorrow. Maybe pain Some do it to be doing something Oh! You ask me What I ' m doing here I reply: Just the same. Lisa Ambrose 12 Love cannot be expressed through written words, material things, diamond rings, but it must be whis- pered softly from the heart. Laura Park 12 Photo by John Merz 1 1 For I am a flower Pull on me and you will uproot me and kill me Leave me alone and for sure I will die But . . . . . . shower me with love and affection and I will grow for you. Lisa Ambrose 12 Love means many things gum machines icecream flings beauty queens jumping beans faded jeans many things love means. Laura Park 12 Creative Arts — 13

The next four pages are dedicated to the creative minds of our student body. The photographs and cre- ative writing that were sub- mitted reflect the thoughts and ideas of the students at this particular point in their life. These are al l works that will be well worth looking back on 50 years from now. Student Life Editor Jamie L. Davis Creative Arts We have everything we could want: food, clothing, shelter, love, each other . . . But we want more and yet we have nothing We are never at peace with ourselves or the world around us For the wanting just gets in the way of enjoying what we already have. Steven Wellman 11 How I want you How I need you How I love you How I feel you Please come to me and help me to see, that I may come to you and help you through all the pain and sorrow so that we may see tomorrow not just yesterday or all that is past since that ' s not where our love will last.

The Child Fades ' - » ii ' , The Child My bedroom seems to be a secret playroom tor my toys while I ' m away. I see that my Winnie-the-pooh has been reading my favorite childhood book and that my clowns have wiped the tears off of their cheeks. My coloring book has another page colored in it and the crayons are sprawled all over my floor. My roller skates have been fas- tened to my first doll ' s feet and she has fallen out of them. I begin to put things back in order and I walk into my closet and a child lies asleep. Cathy Nickels 11 Memories, Glimpses of the past, Places, friends, events that never last. The times we spend together Will live in our minds forever, For our memories, what we do and say, Make our lives what they are today. Curt Syndram 11 : :
