A SENIOR RING Not a piece of jewelry made of gold or silver, But made of memories of Kingswood life: The strong and everlasting friendships between students. The mixed emotion at Junior-Senior Banquet Eager and proud to be Seniors but sad because the big sisters” are leaving, The flowing enthusiasm over the success of a class project, A victory in hockey on a crisp, colorful autumn day, The anxiety and tension until a college acceptance, The happiness but also disappointment at elections, Problems becoming trivial under the patient guidance of the faculty, The satisfaction of achievement after persisting in studies, And an exultant feeling while walking from the church with a diploma in hand. These elements combine to make a Senior ring, Not of gold or silver, but of memories of Kingswood life. . . . Gale Hummel CALENDAR The seventh of July it said. The paper hanging on die wall, The calendar that marked the days With curves and lines in little squares. It rained the seventh of July. I lost my temper. I read a book. I broke a dish. I cried. Then evening came. I saw a rainbow arch. I heard a wren. And when I went to bed, I lay and thought. Were all those things the seventh of July? Or was it the curves in the little square? . . . Kristine Gilmartin A RIDDLE Although I am not well liked, I am popular at Kingswood School, for every girl has at least two of me. I accompany each girl through her daily school schedule, but when the weekend comes, I am gleefully tossed aside. In fact it is not a rare occasion to have me misplaced to the despair of a forgetful student, who must find me before eight- thirty on Monday morning. I am not treated with the best of care, and, therefore, my life span is short. However, while it lasts, it is exciting ind eventful. I hear and observe a great deal and learn more than you can imagine about females. With the closing of the year, comes the end of my life or a trip to the bargain box. I have been a part of Kings- wood's life for many years, and am destined to remain a part of school routine for many years in the future. I will never go out of style. I AM A TIED SHOE . . .
