Yah! bite the fury, feel the wild- ness! Strength, like a whip-lash, flings desire ; Scoop up youth, till the old-age mildness Robs you of winds and the mountain fire! SHIRLEY MANN, IVB. Awarded prize for Poetry, 1948. PAST: PRESENT: FUTURE The past is gone; it isn ' t ours It ' s gone to join those other hours Of songs of birds and scents of flowers That passed so long ago. Now is the time ; here is our chance Each passing moment to enhance Before we go on down the dance Which ends in Evermore. The Future too is ours. Who knows How far ahead the Future goes? Perhaps the blooming of a rose. And we are known no more. MARY A. C. HEARN, VB.
