ALUIVINA By KARLA MORITZ Slowly, silently she made her way across the deserted room. The dis- arranged desks were covered with odds and ends, here a few text- books, there paprs and boxes. Sit- ting behind one of these desks, she continued to gaze around the class- room. The sparks of memory shone in her green eyes as the memories of those days flooded her thoughts. The lone figure sat musing the fate of those friends who had once shared this classroom with her. None of them seemed to be as struck as hard as she with the loneli- ness of the room. They all could come into the room without missing the shouts and whispers that had been uttered there. Didn't they miss the kindergarten drawings and the seasonal decorations that had al- ways adorned the concrete walls be- fore? The girl stood and walked to the bookcases covering one wall. This motley collection of math, English, and religion was all that remained of nine years of homework. These were the books she had read so often, those that had gained for her the title of school bookworm. Now she crossed to the windows overlooking the broad front lawn. She ran a finger over the splintering wood, then rubbed the dust be- tween her fingers. She stared blank- ly at the room that had once nur- tured and protected the children who in turn had chipped its paint and scratched the tile floor. Slowly and silently she made her way across the deserted room. When she walked through the door- way, two tears were falling slowly and silently down her cheek. l-4 1,45- avfg pf ,, ,M o A , X , lm.
