r PRIZE SHORT STORY: 0 DATE WITH DAD The sun filtering through the Venetian blinds and shining on e face of the still figure of the girl on the bed finally caused her stir and stretch her arms. What a perfect day this is, was Ellen's first thought, and then she became fully awake the sense of disaster which had been .inting her for days returned and she once again felt trapped by i web of her own making. What a dope l am, she said aloud, though no one was around argue the point. If anyone had been there to hear, her state- nt would surely have been questioned, as Ellen was, without ubt, the most popular girl in school, with her long, dark hair, iwn eyes, and vivacious ways. Her original ideas were quickly :Jed by many and she became a style-setter for the school. Tonight is the biggest dance of the year and l haven't a date . Oh, it isn't that I haven't been asked, but I pretended that I aady had a date, hoping Dan would ask me-but he didn't. No e else will call at the last minute, so l guess this little gal will staying home tonight. Ellen went down to breakfast looking like she hadn't a friend the world. Her mother, sensing the source of her only daugh- s despair, wisely said nothing and by glance in the direction of Morrill warned him to do the same. But Ellen was not one to keep her problems to herself for g and after nibbling deiectedly at a piece of toast and taking :ste of orange iuice, she poured out her troubles to her somewhat vildered parents. This daughter of theirs continued to amaze m by the predicaments she and her friends got themselves into, this latest crisis seemed to be truly a matter of life and death Ellen. Mr. Morrill hopefully suggested that perhaps he might hint to partner at the store that Ellen would be glad to have his son, ace, escort her to the dance. Oh, Dad, you know what a drip Horace is and I wouldn't be ght dead with him, Ellen cried, almost in tears by now. Well we might have your cousin from the city come but there r time now for him to get here, her mother added. lt looks the only available male is your father, Ellen. Now, Dear, Mr. Morrill started to protest. Why, that's a wonderful idea, why didn't we think of it sooner. ir all Dad is my favorite man and everyone will think he was date all the time. Will you, Dad? And Ellen ran around the e to use all of her persuasive charms on her father. Think how :Isome you will be in your tuxedo and all the girls will be :ly crazy to dance with the best looking man there. it was with many misgivings that Mr. Morrill finally consented to wrt Ellen to the dance. But he didn't forget to bring his date eautiful orchid corsage and Ellen's enthusiasm was so con- :us that when the time came to go, he was actually looking lard to it. He wasn't disappointed because from the minute arrived, Ellen knew her idea had clicked again, and at the ' dance more than one loving dad would escort his daughter. lut it looked as if Mr. Morrill would be bringing his wife if he e again, for he overheard Dan say to Ellen during the supper ', I wanted to ask you to come tonight, but I heard you had her date. How about a movie tomorrow night? A girl who with her dad to the big dance of the year is worth knowing. CAROLYN HUGHES Junior mzs snonr sronv: D R I F T' W 0 O D Vhen we lived in Modoc County, travelers used to come to the e and ask for a bed or a meal. There was a variety of char- S that confronted us with their needs, but one mild little man ls out in mind. He came one night and asked for a meal and a place to put his horse. We granted him this and when he came back from the barn he told this story. It was during the depression years and he lHe never gave his name.J was starved off his ranch in Arizona. He had decided to come up through California on his way and it was here that his trouble started. The traveler was coming along the Ridgeroute somewhere near Bakersfield. The weather was scorching and this route was nothing more than a trail bordered by barbed wire 'Fences and forested on both sides with no trespassing signs. There was no place to get off the road, no water and no shade. His horses were tired and thirsty and he started looking for a place to camp for the fright. He came upon a service station along the way. lt had a small park with a lawn and trees and looked in general like an oasis. The Traveler rode in and proceeded to make camp. He was surprised by the service station attendant who came running at him, cursing and ordering him off the ground. l tried to argue with the attendant, but all of a sudden he had a gun, he said, There wasn't much the Traveler could do. He said he would get out and went back to his pack mare and made like he was tightening the cinch. With his back to the attendant he opened the pack and drew out his revolver. The attendant told me l'd better not stay there that night. l didn't, he said in a calm voice. But the attendant did. He's still there I guess .... By the way, how far is it to Oregon? Some of the characters who came to the ranch were pretty windy. Perhaps this fellow was too-l'll never know. DAVID BLACK Senior Ist PRIZE POEM: SILENT MAJ ESTY The silent brook trickled from beneath the rocks Through the green, wet moss on the hill. It was such a cool and inviting place- Yet it seemed so mysteriously still. Tiger lilies stood like carved statues As a breeze tried to make them sway. Ferns remained in the shadows of trees. Never seeing the light of day. There were no birds for miles around And the foilage stood with grace. But I will always have the desire to return To this solemn, maiestic place. DIANNE FARRINGTON Senior 2nd PRIZE POEM: SISKIYOU'S WONDERLAND These mountains tall, surveying all The wealth that lies below, Have snowy peaks and silvered creeks On ranges patched with snow. These lakes are blue of sparkling hue, Amid the granite crags, And from them gush in mighty rush The stream that never lags. 'Tis here that we poor mortals see This beauty here so nigh, The timbered hills and tiny rills That form in mountains high. And now the sun, when day is done, Is sinking in the west And with it plays the last few rays As seen o'er mountain crest. BETTY YOUNG Junior 47
