T 11 h Mirror PEACE PLACE vs. WAR White doves, On trees in bloom, Are breathing songs of peace, While vultures ravenous on ground Feed on war. Robert Wheeler -------o------ A CRY A future full of mystery and uncertainty— Darkness—and what does it hold for youth? Signs of war. And youth. Like infants afraid of the dark, Cry aloud in fear. Could we if we would Give them peace? Helen Foust TRENCHES Dawn lights The zero hour. The sergeant’s whistle blows; “Over the top,” he cries. They hear; They die! De Witt Bell ------o------ NIGHT RAID Lights Out! The sounds of planes— People fly for cover! Falling bombs roar down from above— Night Raid! [16J Dc Witt Bell

The Mirror CYCLE CLOUDS The clouds. At birth of morn and start of night. Arc then in their liveliest hues Bedight. Andrew Hollingsworth ------1)----- MUSIC Music—soft sweet sounds. Like flowing notes from heaven. Fall upon our ears at morning. The day’s at peace. Ray Dunmver ------o------ POETRY Poetry is like a song Of beautiful words, With a melody That sways to the rhythm of love. Claremont Bowers ------o------ DREAMS Sleep, sleep In the wee hours of the morn. And dream dreams of the early day In your Arcadia. Lycurgus Tsimpides ------o------ THE CYCLE The haze slowly changes from sunset to star; The sun returns from whence it came; The evening with rose and silver hue, Awakes in morning light and flame. [15] Carolyn Scott

1 he Mirror SILENCE Silence! With not a sound To fall and catch the ear; Silence—for what?—for whom? Not for dreadful boom, boom Of War. Glenn Williams o FLAUNTING COLOR In peace The crosses stand. Marking with Haunting color, The graves of men Who died in war. A. T. Brown NO ARMISTICE Dead and dying are scattered over the desolate field, torn by merciless shells of war. Proud uniforms ruined by mud and slime of the battle are deeply stained with the blood of mankind. Great guns boom and machine guns rattle. What is the use of this waste and terror? Can wc not find some means for e nding war? Let there he no armistice in our fight for peace 1 Lellwyn Maxwell [17J
