Zrggll Zradzlng 'Lltrrarg STORM The day broke over a gray and dismal world yet there were signs of stlrrmg among the creatures of the island A seagull soared up mto the dlmly l1t grey sky and then changed his flight pattern ln order to dive after a small unsuspecting fish All at once there was a kmfe of thunder whlch cut through the stlllness of the dawn but withln seconds the echo died away and once again all was sllent There was a stir of expectancy that ran through all the animals both awake and asleep Agam there came the deafening roar only not quite so loud as before though just as much warnmg was ln xt The reef thunder mounted a long drawn hushed yet mighty sound that seemed to have ltS being not 1n the air above but in the very sea beneath The sea was glassy and :lie swells ro e and fell as 1f calmly blown by angels rea All at once the entire picture changed The glassy swells changed to huge battermg waves The thunder was no longer hushed but filled the air with a deafening roar that filled the whole earth with H0158 And now small animals were darting about looking for nearby shelter At one time the sky eemed to fall in the form of pelt mg ram which stung the very water upon whlch lt fell It was a storm' Not just an ordinary storm but ra1n Much needed ram that would quench the thlrst of the small desert lsland Maggie Hatch Tenth Grade OBLIGATION From the time we first understand rlght from wrong we have begun to undertake an obllgatlon Obllgatlon means a moral and physlcal responsiblhty to all things a sort of llfetrme contract w1th your famlly friends school country church and most of all God It seems sometimes as though obligations are sort of like fleas the more you scratch to get r1d of them the faster they multiply If one feels he has no obllgatlon he has no opinions agrees with everyone and IS thought a most charming person On the other hand the one who feels his obligations greatly dares to express an opinion fights for an ideal and IS consldered by many a busy body At tlmes he ends up with everyone bemg at war with hlm The polnt is with this evidence do we want obllgatlons or not? The fact IS we have them and must make every effort to fulfill each and every one of them We love God and our country and the opportunity to learn 1n our schools Educatlon may not always make us president but lt s just as important to know how to cast the rlght vote Thls knowledge however does not come from readm funny books As for family and friends I klnd of like havme them around-so I guess I ll keep my obligations Cort Qurckel Ninth Grade THE HARD LUCK FRIGATE The United States frrgate Constellation has been known as the hard luck frlgate for everywhere she went she met with bad luck From the beginning things went wrong The lumber and other supplles needed for her construction seemed to get lost on their way to the shipyard then her con struction was stopped completely and then ll was re sumed At last she was launched in 1797 She fought her only battles 1n an undeclared war with France The first against a ship of about her own strength she won easily but almost lost her pr1ze in a storm In her second battle however she faced a s lp of almost twice her stren th After a furious battle the French shlp struck her colors But at this moment the Constellatlon s mam mast fell overboard Seelng the opportunity the French ship rehorsted her colors and e caped She was then sent to fight the Barbary pirates but was damaged rn a storm and forced to return to port Durlng the War of 1812 she was blockaded 1n the Nor folk Navy Yard by the Brltlsh ln 184-2 she went to the Far East but arrived too late to take part 1n the Oplum War After thls she was left to rot untll 1955 when she was moved up the East Coast to Baltimore where she was to become a Natlonal Shrine But even on this her last voyage she had to fight for her life Hurrrcane Connle held a race with her but this time the hard luck frrgate won She beat the storm 1nto port Bruce Blngman Ninth Grade PEACE POWER AND PROTECTION Of the manv thlngs that make up our country the three most vital are peace power and protection For this year s cover of the WIKING I have tried to brrng all three 1nto unity for we usually think of them in that way The hand symbollzes the power our great country has and 1t is an assurance that lf need be we w1ll have the power to strike back at any aggressor The lightning IS for the protection we want and of which we are assured Our protection of lightning speed and bl'1l113I1CC shows other worlds and powers our bene ficent ideals and mtentlons Of all the signs on the cover the most universally known IS the ol1ve branch the symbol for peace which IS the goal ardently sought by all We may have to fight for It but the cost for its defense IS worthwhlle If we continue to cherish these powers we shall be able to face the unknown vahantly Rolf Marsh Eleventh Grade . - - - cc - D7 1 a ' 9 O 0 . . .
