Antoinette King, Constance Weymouth, Beverly Gerald, represented our class on I have a secret place that I go to when I am troubled, sad or have a desire to get away from people. This secret place is set in the earth. It looks as though it were a sunken kingdom. It is surrounded by a round wall of crystal stones with patches of moss. The door is similiar to the wall. I'm the only person who has a key and knows the way. When I am inside, it gives me a feeling of being in dreamland. I sink in as I step on the short, soft green carpet of grass. As I look around I see the queen, like flowers all over the ground. The wall is covered with red balls of roses climbing upward. The wishing well in the middle of the garden is also covered with roses. The well is of crystal and encircled by a bench of the same crystal. As I sit on the bench I can put my hand in the clear, cool water. One day after a shower of rain a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. The rain- bow plus the red, hot sun was reflected in the crystal well. A last lonely drop of rain fell whirling the rainbow and the sun around and around. Would you want to leave a place like this? the cheering squad. Helen York ‘57 Linda Welch Grade 8
