His grey head sank onto his breast, He knew his wife was thinking, too, nOn such a night he went away.n But morning brought another day, And tho' the night still haunted them with memories The sun shone of another night, sparkling on the grass Despite some clouds still hanging low, As if there never could have been That door held wide to sheets of rain. A boy, so young, white-lipped with rage Had stepped into a storm-lashed world. Behind him closed more doors than one. She dropped her broom, ran to the door. A knock had come that she knew well.

XIIA First in Senior Poetry Competition THE TWENTY THIRD PSALM Miss Clark is my teacher, I shall not want for work. She disturbs my laziness: she leads me in the paths of geometry, for she is the teacher. She maketh me expose mine ignorance before the class: she assigneth hard lessons. She prepareth a figure on the board from a proposition: she anointeth mine head with wordsgher knowledge passeth understanding. lea, though I walk to the board with the hope of success, I fear some evil, for her text book, it bothers me. Surely planes and lines shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in Geometry ll forever.
