FRESH THE WIND I turned my face toward the fresh cast wind. Sunlight danced on the water. I looked with pleasure at the sailboats tugging at their anchors. What an exciting day for a sailing race! A group of girls were already waiting eagerly for the drawing of boats. To my good fortune, I drew boat number two. Site had always seemed to love brisk weather. The Sailing Master called out die course: “Buoys to starboard. We rigged with great care, making all halyards fast and our mainsail taut. Much depended on this so that our boat would respond and perform efficiently. Up and down the dock was excited chatter. Need a cotter pin? Anybody have an extra baton?” “This boat has seaweed on the centcr- Isoard trunk.” Suddenly, as though to stop the confusion, the ten- minute gun sounded. Everyone quieted down, one by one pushing away from the dock. As Pat, my crew, and I tacked back and forth across the starting line, we realized how shifting and unpredictable the wind was becoming. This is going to be a tough race, with this wind and so many ex- perienced skippers out against us,” I remarked. “We’ll have to be careful. It would be easy to go over in this wind.” Pat answered. The five-minute gun sounded. We concentrated on the way we should tack down to the Cedar Island marker. We tried to time our- selves to be first over the line. Just as the lifeguard counted off the final seconds, our sail began to luff. The agony of those seconds seemed too great. The cannon boomed as I counted down the time. Our prow pointed into the wind. All six boats were parallel as we skimmed toward the buoy. It was anybody’s race. “It's going to be a mess around the marker; everyone’s trying to round it at the same place,” Pat observed. “I’m going to pull in close and try to slip on the inside. Any ad- vantage gained here might mean the race. We’ve got to win!” Suddenly the buoy was looming straight ahead. I didn’t want to hit it as I would be disqualified. I swung out too widely. “Buoy room!” Peggy, my constant rival, called blithely. Pat moaned loudly. “Now you’ve done it. We’ll be completely off course.” Desperately I tried to keep calm. Anything I did now mattered immensely. Actually, there was nothing to do but give way to Peggy. She slithered through, taking a slight lead over all the other boats. Unknowingly, Peggy had picked up some seaweed going around the buoy. Slowly, but surely, I gained on her. When our boats were finally side by side, I felt exhilarated, but also compelled to tell her of her fouled tiller. On the second leg, I held my head, which had increased by about twenty yards. Pat and I relaxed. The warmth of the sun and the sparkle of the water decreased our tension. “What a beautiful day to be alive. 'I here isn’t any other place I would rather be,” I exclaimed, as the boat worked purposefully through the water. Looking over my shoulder, I saw with great dismay that Peggy was coming up fast. I realized that in our relaxation we had drifted slightly off our course. Pat was worried. “You know how Peggy can sail. You had better get a move on.” Now back on course, our boats were so close they almost touched I had the advantage, as my boat was windward of hers. Thankful for that, I gave my full attention to what I was doing. We rounded the last buoy together. My boat was pointing perfectly. We were gaining. “Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a freak puff of wind!” Suddenly it came! 1 shot ahead to a sizable lead. Gose to the finish line I became confident. “Don't put anything past Peggy,” Pat warned. “Oh, she can’t beat us now,” I joyfully answered. “Rats!” I had tacked too close to shore. My small advantage had been cut in half. Peggy seemed to have her own wind and was coming up fast. “I want to win. I want to win!” I thought desperately. I had just about crossed the finish line when Peggy was suddenly beside me. “Boat to the lee, keep clear.” She nosed past me and the cannon boomed. She had won, not I. I put my head down to hide disappointed tears. Grimly, I held them back and called. “Nice race, Peg!” She waved and said, “Half of it's yours, Julie. Thanks for tipping me off on the seaweed.” “That cannon will sound for me next race,” I promised myself. And it did. . . . Julie Fitzgerald STUDY HALL Oh, bang, Oh, slam Of heavy books galore. Oh, weary eye, Oh, me, oh, my, Where does this hard work end? Oh, pencil worn, Oh, mind forlorn With knowledge crowding in. Oh, book. Oh, pen, Oh, written page, Although I know what I must learn I’d like to put you all aside. Oh, lake, Oh, grass. Oh, clouds and winds and sky! . . . Jacqueline Zuelzet
