After lunch students find going easier Morning has passed and provided a small glowing ember for us to kindle into a flame. The kindling wood with which to build this fire often seems to be determination and hard work. Afternoon gently persuades us to exert effort in order to achieve our goals. Before this ember existed, we made our excuses; we could delay our duty ■— it was morning. No longer is there an excuse. So what if you didn’t have your Cheerios this morning. You've had lunch now. After lunch, teachers readily offer knowledge at all costs. Students complete projects they’ve worked so hard on. Perhaps morning has provided us with a purpose — to make the afternoon a success, even if it’s only the kind of success you feel deep in your heart. 6

Dusk reigns; conquers the light of day The daylight is now about to surrender herself to nighttime. Many activities embrace us at this time of leisure. There are ball games, after school jobs, homework, TV, and hobbies, all for us to devour. Evening is doing what you enjoy doing most. A small child watches Sesame Street; a teenager might work after school for that always welcome spending money. Evening symbolizes a small child in his long pajamas giving in to sleep. Evening is the trust that after the darkness the daylight will always return. This twilight brings not an ending, but instead, beginnings for us to cherish. 8
