Being present at this close of a century has made us more keenly aware of the heritage which has been given to us and of our obligation to foster the established traditions with the love, diligence, and courage of those who pre- ceded us. We may see in this Veritas which heralds the opening of a new century, Dominican as it stands today. How- ever, there is an element in the school which cannot be photographed or written down for the eye to seeg the very spirit of joyful generosity which prompted the found- ing of the school seems to be personified on our own campus, and this spirit is known and loved hy all who claim Dominican as their Alma Mater. Just as it is not possible to see the spiritual growth of Dominican, so neither is it possible to realize just how much we have gained 'through the sacrifice of those who have gone before us. However, the privilege of being present at the opening of another hundred years affords an incentive to absorb still more of the spirit which has stood as a beacon to the advancement of all things fine in Christian living.

Above are the directresses and presidents of such groups. The Confraternity and Sodality are both organizations which are primarily con- cerned With the religious life ofthe students. One ofthe main objectives of these two or- ganizations is to make Christian principles an integral. part of student life. Art and dramatics provide an excellent example of groups cooperating and working together to make successful dramatic productions such as Living Pictures and The Snow Queen. The Veritas brings 'together girls who use their combined talents in literary Work, hus- iness, and general organization to produce a year hook exemplary of the school life. Optima, the Honor Society of Dominican, affords an incentive to strive toward greater academic achievement. These groups not only set a pattern to engage the interests of each student but unite the whole school in their interdependency of spirit.

The student body is divided into two teams. The Roundheads are led by Diane Thys and the Cavaliers by Jane Ann Mason. Everyone remembers the anticipation of the girls at the First Rally as the two captains drew the names of the new girls and assigned them to the team they would Hght f or and support the rest of their time at Dominican. Romping through the grass above are Katherine Henderson, Diane Henny, Diane Thys, ,lane Ann Mason, .lack-Lynn Long, and Rosy Strachwitz, the Senior sport enthusiasts and the leaders of the C.A.A. V lt falls to Katherine Henderson, the President of the club, to work patiently, planning the annual activities, parties, and competitive games for the year. Diane Henny has the important but complicated task ol' keeping the accurate accounts of all the points given to different teams and individuals. ,lack-Lynn Long sets a shining example in sports as she teaches and manages the games of the Senior Class throughout the year. Rosy Stracbwitz proves herself to he a very skillful hockey player, and she organizes and en- courages the various teams as they drive on to victory. 'llhrough the sports at Dominican, spurred on by these and other competent leaders, we learn not only the basic sport techniques but also the fundamentals in teamwork and sportsmanship.

These girls are the mainstays of the newspaper staff, for it is due largely to their ingenuity that puzzles, colorful illustrations, and articles of lasting interest, whether serious or humor- ous, have made TIME OUT so much a part of the Dominican student's life. The unique ideas that come from these busy girls stand as an example to many, for these girls are never at a loss to provide a new impetus to the writing spirit of the would-be journalists. Led by the editor, Barbara Bedford, they have contributed highly to each issue. Their hard work has helped make TIME OUT successful as well as a Htime out'7 for catching up on school girl chatter and ideas. Cecile Korte '52 5 .

Class meetings become more numerousg recreation periods find girls marking prices on various articlesg class artists spend their time and talent making decorationsg class officers organize lists of salesgirls. Yes, the annual charity bazaar preparations are under way! The bazaar itself begins at noon and closes about five. In this short time the students and many of their parents do their Christmas shopping from booth to booth. At the Freshmen HCircus Circle one might buy a colored Panda Bear, a Raggedy Ann and Andy, or some unusual mechanical toy. The beautifully handmade rosaries at the Sophomore booth always attract attention and buyers. The bazaar shoppers are never too busy to overlook the Juniors' array of delicious temptations! All diets are forgotten on that day. To mention the Senior booth is to mention the treasure chest of surprises, for they display everything else imaginable not found at the other three booths. A ' The day passes quickly, but many times throughout the year, letters of gratitude from some orphanage or unfortunate group whom our bazaar has benefitted tell us that somewhere, because of our efforts, there are happy hearts and faces.

Nancy Alden, who won the State Championship in western equitation last fall, brought new enthusiasm to the already lively and active Riding Club. When the above picture was taken, Darlene Haberman was appearing in San Francisco at the Northern California Horse Show where she placed second among many senior competitors. Last fall Darlene brought home several blue ribbons from the Grand National Exposition. The example and enthusiasm of Nancy and Darlene have encouraged such senior riders as Barbara, Joan, Louise, and Eula to prepare for Dominican's spring gymkhana in Forest Meadows. Riding is lone of the,all-year sports at Dominican. From the youngest rider in the Lower School to the most experienced'senio1i'Upper School rider, the beauty of the Marin countryside is an added incentive to 'Ltake up the trailsu afforded by the Marin Stables. The young riders 1'ide,,,not.only for the sheer delight of riding, but also with the hope of winning ribbons for the Roundheadsior Cavaliers in the Spring Horse Show-an event which often determines the Winner of the silver interclub athletic cup.

The time had flown by so fast that she could still picture her first day clearly. Shyly, but with determination, she had climbed the stairs to the second floor. Suddenly a wave of enthusiastic juniors washed her up to the shore of the famous third floor. As she reached her destination, room fifty, she was greeted by an unusual conglomeration of noises-Rosemary's ukelele, Donna's shrill MB Hat, and Nancy Anderson's only expression, 'cOh Agony!,, As she started down the hall she noticed that the door knob was missing from Sally McClure's door. This seemed quite alarm- ing, but soon Nancy Patterson came angling down the hall with the missing link and fitted it back in the door. The activities of the whole year seemed to race back before her. She remembered the bazaar and the outstanding teamwork displayed by the juniors. The huge Dutch windmill surrounded by bright red, gold, and green tulips created the KAbo11ej IILIILOI Class 0 tcers P1 esiclent, Anne Adamsg Vice-President, Adrienne Smithg Secretary, Suzanne Chapman Treasurer Donna Graber.

Soon after, the juniors came splashing in to Win the annual inter-class swimming meet. Then she remembered the Christmas party and the endless nights they had spent carefully wrapping gifts and rhyming lines for the student body verses. But all the hard work disappeared as she recalled the delight of the audience as the dolls came to life at the North Pole and performed for Santa Claus and his little guest Judy. The memory of the song festival shone forth as she pictured the happy faces of the juniors as they sang their Way to victory and became the winners of a beautiful golden placque. Musingly she smiled as she remembered the enthusiasm of the girls as they did a repeat performance of 'cl Shall Not Be Moved, with pantomime. Yes, the year had passed by quickly, but it had seemed all too short. Even though she had heard so much about the senior year she wondered if it could compare with the happiness and success of her junior year.

'6To beauty through song is the ambition of each member as she contributes her singing to the other beautiful portions of the Mass to complete a perfect sacrifice. That their prayer may be more acceptable, Schola works endlessly with their reliable leader, Donna Graber, to acquire beautiful tone, expression, and rhythm in all they si11g. They enjoy their work tremendously, as they know the joy and pleasure they are bringing to the hearts and minds of others who also are seeking to enhance devotion with beauty through music. - Irene Gallwey 752 THE C0 Fltllllll l'I'Y The Confraternity is an organization consisting of those girls at Dominican who have dedicated themselves to the Blessed Sacrament and who have realized those tremendous graces which come only from the daily assistance at Mass and the reception of the Sacraments. The Confraternity members have gratefully accepted the privilege of having a chapel right under their roof and they have discovered the enormous aids to be gained from that close union which exists between them and their Hidden Lord. The graces and privileges granted to all faithful members of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament are not only safeguards and resources for them to fall back on in later years, but they are sure sources of strength and courage for all members in their daily tasks as students. These girls have accepted the challenge of an early, grey dawn and have preferred Christ to their Warm beds and a little extra sleep. Rosy Strachwitz '51 .

Through daily Rosary, and through monthly meetings, the Sodality strives to instill in every student a deeper knowledge of Our Lady and her Son. Under the leadership of Margaret Huneke, this year the Sodality has promoted the theme of individual responsibility in Christian leadership. Special emphasis has been placed on the student vocation, in order to give everyone a fuller appreciation of the purpose of schooling. However, the Sodality does not confine its work to the student vocation. There is great importance attached to building for later life, as We must take with us those ideals which are the finest, and most Worthy of the Mother of Cod.

I ' CHRI TMA TABLEAUX I wonder who will be the Blessed Virgin this year? Do you think l7ll be anything? I'm sure you'll be an angel. No, this conversation is not about Paradise and the places we will gain when we finally get there, but it is the type of conversation one would expect to hear at Dominican during the several weeks before Christmas vacation. No matter how uncomprehensible it might seem 'to a stranger, it is all related to the same subject Wfhe Christmas Tableauxf' An annual at school, the scenes of the Tableaux are taken from the paintings of the famous Dominican artist, Fra Angelico. As the simple but beautiful story is un- folded before one's eyes, it is hard to realize that each scene has been rehearsed time and time again, for every action is as natural and graceful as if it Were being performed on that first Christmas night, two thousand years ago. The Christmas choral, Whose beautiful singing adds much to the atmosphere, the nar- rators who quote passages from the Bible before each scene, the cast itself, the carolers, and finally the loyal and hard-working production staff, all help make the Tableaux the beautiful performance it is, bring- ing Christmas joy and peace into the hearts of all who come to see it. Athenais de lVlortemart '52 l'ltllIlllll'I'I0 TAFF Naturally, when such beautiful productions as Living Pictures and Tableaux are presented to friends and mothers and fathers who assemble in Angelico each year to view these annual productions, various questions are heard such as, Mlrlow is it possible to present something so smoothly and free of errors?,, and 4cWhe1'e did they ever acquire such beautiful scenery and props?,' The answers to these questions are to be found in the hands of the responsible teams called stage crew and production staff . As the curtain opens for Living Pictures and the spellbound audience views a reproduction of -a famous artist, it is no wonder that the similarity is obvious. Weeks of patient work and skill have been poured in with the paint to contribute to the splendid effects which have created the wonderful reputation for Living Pictures. Wlieli the time comes for the Christmas Tableaux and the annual play, all eyes and hopes turn toward stage crew, as their task is just as important as that of the actors or the set-designers. They must see that the lights, props, and sound effects are perfectly placed and timed. The key to the success of each and every production is the minute-timing and teamwork of the whole production staff.

One of the most beautiful of Dominican traditions is the annual Living Pictures, a cultural program, sponsored by the Art Club. The theme this year was the family, providing opportunity for a varied and interesting collection. Uutstanding was the vividly portrayed NMother and Chi1d,', by Pablo Picasso, representative of the contemporary school. This painting is one of Picassois warmest, most sympathetic paintings. i The preparation for Living Pictures involves a great deal of work on the part of the students. The painting of numerous complicated backdrops was begun many weeks before the production and involved quite a bit of Work, since each backdrop had to be as similar to the original painting as possible. Nevertheless, the diligent stage crew persevered through all the Work and problems of the lighting and the hanging of backdrops, with bright and smiling faces. The long hours of preparation, affording immeasurable experience and enjoyment, are well Worth the satisfaction of an admirable performance.

Presented in play form, it has an even more charming effect. Elizabeth Buckley, President of the Dramatics Club and story teller for uThe Snow Queen, told in sparkling narrative the fan- tastic tale of Kay and Gerda. The part of Kay, the sunny little boy whose heart was turned to ice, Was convincingly portrayed by Jane Ann Mason. Kay's gentle companion, Gerda, the sole believer in the quest for her playmate's redemption, was enacted by Ann Graber. The supporting characters, from the regal Snow Queen down to the smallest of the snow Hakes, made their many contributions towards heightening the enjoyment of the simple story, which although only a fanciful tale, an imaginary journey through time on the wings of youth, was not without its moral, namely, that only through innocence, sympathy, and love can the wickedness of this world be overcome. To our director, Marian Hayes Cain, fell the perplexing task of organizing the three groups-actors, dancers, and musicians- into a 'smoothly moving scheme. The musical score, composed by Dr. Giulio Silva, is a whimsical fantasy for orchestra, choral, and solos. The fine art of rhythmical movement and coordination taught through the medium of modern dance, under the direction of Ceorgiana Wielaensoli, found beautiful expression in such dances as that of the Snow Flakes, and very entertaining expression in such dances as those of the Ice Blocks and the Wicked Sprites. The scenery was designed and executed by art students from the classes of Frances Moyer. Thus with the cooperative combination of drama, music, art, and dancing students, the successful produc- tion of uThe Snow Queenn was realized.

Every Saturday at one o'clock, the girls who enjoy special choral work gather together for singing. Under thedirection of Dr. Giulio Silva, we are instructed in the various types of songs both for performance in the Angelico Auditorium, and for our own pleasure. The choral plays an important part in many school functions wherein music is required for the program. For instance, in the production of wllhe Snow Queen, the choral, in gaily colored costumes, lent even more charm to a delightful presentation. ln a more serious vein, choral Works 'to prepare selections for the spring recital. Their repertory includes such things as gay waltzes and moving chorals. Selections from HThe Stahat Materf' hy Pergolesi, was the high point of last April's program, in which the entire student body participated. All these things contribute to the enjoyment of audience and performers as well, and thus choral presentations are eagerly awaited from year to year.

Wliethei' the girl may be a serious student of music or an appreciative listener makes no difference, for the host of music lovers is not an exclusive group reserved to advanced artistsg it includes all Who Want to learn about music. The leading sponsor of musical events and music in general is the Music Club which presents its weekly recorded concerts to the students. Not only these recorded concerts but the delightful trips to Friday afternoon concerts in San Francisco are made available to the students. Witliiii the Music Club itself, the lively discussions at bi-weekly meetings give evidence of the genuine interest in the group. Many members show their enthusiasm by participation in various competi- tions, which bring decided satisfaction to many when the results are announced. The Music Club has as its aim the correlation of the arts, so that not only music is studied but also the relationship of music to the rest of culture is observed through a study of the history of music. Lighter projects, such as a program in honor of St. Patrick's Day, are also launched, and their success is due to the enthusiastic cooperation of each and every member.

I PEAK Illllt DEMUCHACY This is the end of the seventh inning in the greatest game in history, the age-old battle between Democracy and Totalitarianism, the two greatest teams of this era. For many years these two forces have been struggling for supremacy, let us stop and watch awhile. The Totalitarian coach takes his place on the sidelines, grimly eyeing his own team, made up of men who are not hound to him by ties of loyalty and trust but hy fear and by the promise of future gain. These players were chosen hy him not only because of their ability but also because of their the 561,001 c0,,,,ge,5, training to play the game as he directs. The principle that the end justifies the means has been deeply instilled in them and they know better than to oppose or question in any way his methods or decisions. He has worked unceasingly to raise them to the level of the major league teams, stamping out the smaller teams as they climbed the ladder of fame and power, and now they are prepared to wipe out the greatest team of them all, Democracy. As far as he is concerned the men out on the field who are at this moment fighting his battle are not men, but instruments necessary to achieve the desired end. Each base represents an ideal in his creed: first base, extravagant promises which he has no intention of keeping, second base, aggression, third, the propaganda and deceit necessary to achieve personal victories, and home, his final goal, power and world supremacy. l And so he views his team with satisfaction. They will win, of that he is sure, for each player is skilled and thoroughly trained. ' Let us now look at Democracy's team. Their coach strides up to his place, giving each member of his team a reassuring smile as he passes. Their answering glance reveals confidence in his judgment and deep respect, for their coach has attained his position not by bribery, graft, or farce but rather by the popular vote of the team. There is also determination on each face-determination that this minor league team which has lately become such a threat to their status will not win despite the odds. Democracyis coach also views his team with satisfaction, but unlike his opponent, he considers the wishes of his men, important elements in the making of a strong team, and each has a voice in determining the plays in this game. Rather than dictating each move, he acts as an advisor who regulates the strategy and places his ideas for the team to approve. For Democracy's team each base is a11 ideal for which they are fighting. First base stands for the justice to which every man has a right, second base is the right of man to voice his opinions freely without fear of punishment, third base represents honesty, honesty with one's self and with others, and finally, home stands for f reedom-freedom of speech and of worship, freedom from want and from fear. We stopped as onlookers to view this game, but now as the eighth inning is about to begin, we realize that Democracy is our team and we realize that it is our duty to remain and cheer for it whole- heartedly, since it is fighting for right. We have made some runs, but we have also made many errors. It is through these errors that the Totalitarians have scored. Are we going to allow the evil forces of Totalitarianism to emerge, victorious, because of our errors?

We have a definite obligation to ourselves, our families, our neighbors, and our God, to acquire those virtues which make for better and nobler people. ln each class, whether it be religion, science, history, language, literature, or athletics, those virtues which are necessary for everyday and future life are emphasized. ln the various programs which the students give-for instance, Living Pictures-many different talents are used, and the culture that is an integral part of Dominican is interwoven in the performance. Girls with artistic inclinations paint the backdrops, others narrate, some play in the orchestrag others are members of the production staff, and some portray the famous works of art. ln searching for careers some of us will Hnd ourselves able to use the gifts of nature to help mankind and raise the standard of living. Through the chemistry, biology, or higher mathematics we are learning today, perhaps someday we can do something to make the world a safer and happier place. The rest of the world does not seem so remote because we have girls from Europe, Asia, and South America, and learning to live together despite language and custom handicaps, helps us to understand our place in world politics. Acknowledgment of the worth of the culture and knowledge of other countries leads to what we hope will be a peaceful world.

The Staff spent many evenings Writing and rewriting their masterpieces, while the deadline crept, unnoticed, upon the Weariless writers. The repolishing of articles has taught the girls the patience and humility required of a Writer. After weeks of very hard work, the book was completed. The business staff had written the list of sponsors and patrons, all their letters of thanks to our generous patrons, and added and subtracted all of the necessary figures. Both literary and business stafl' gave a sigh of relief when the book was finished. Possibly no one appreciates the yearbook quite as much as those who have been on the staff.

TUBE T CUUNCIL Our Student Council is the backbone of the school, symbolic of the trust and responsibility we are taught to accept. The members are the officers of the leading clubs in school, and each is a loyal, enthusiastic Dominican student. The clubs they represent are an integral part of school life. The Confraternity and Sodality oliicers represent the religious part of our Dominican life. The captains of the two athletic clubs, the Roundheads and Cavaliers, and President of G. A. A. show another phase of school life, while the class presidents represent their respective classes. These girls and the other Student Body olhcers are the leaders in the school, living examples of the all-round, cooperative, future leader of tomorrow. , Anne Adams 752 ' -4-1 Y-:3 .

Cecile Korte '52 SEA POWER Breathe deeply of the breath of the sea the changeable and restless water, persistently shifting and crumbling massive rock into sand, as if by some unseen hand. Yes, that sea rolls in and clutches all the massive cliffs and lands it touches. One day the land is firm and solid, a fiury of storm-itis erumpling a1Id soft. Endlessly Time works with the sea restlessly, greedily snatches, what was once grazing land Neptune catches. Many a cliff is now his sea bed, ' but still the remaining cliffs challenge the restless resentful strength. Breathe deeply of the sea and learn of its inexpressible power, its unshakeable persistence. Breathe deeply and remember the lesson of persistence, against which that no rock lasts.

Although the day seemed gloomy, dead, No sunlight climbing over sky, There were blue violets in the grass Where beauty raised its gentle head. - So with the world, there may be grief, There may be darkness, may be doubt, But somewhere there is quiet love, To sing of solace and relief.

This interest and mutual enthusiasm causes the members to work together in close cooperation with their instructor, the well-known poet, Kate Renie Archer. Because of this, the classes in poetry are enjoyable and profitable. Remarkable results have- been brought about, and the name of the student poetry group of Dominican has often been heard in connection with awards for talent. The poems of Cecile Korte, Dorothy Cooke, Mary Ann Tulley, Anne Adams, and Katherine Henderson were published with special mention in the National Anthology of High School Poetry, while those of Marilyn Daniels, Roberta Guy, and Claire Jones were also accepted for publication in the same anthology. Besides receiving the thrill of seeing their Work in print, some of the girls heard their own compositions read at the annual Poets, Banquet sponsored by the Oakland Tribune. Carole Botelho won both first and second place in the students' division of that contest, -Stephanie de Meneses Won fourth, Claire Jones fifth, and Cecile Korte sixth. Many of the honorable mentions were also awarded to members of this club.

' Claire J ones- '51 lllllll l ll Besides other activities, the Book Crafters sponsored Book Week at Dominican. The main purpose of this year's Book Week was to present to the students an array of great books and thereby to encourage discernment in reading. The main bulletin board, attractively decorated, showed the names of such great books as Summa Theological, written by St. Thomas Aquinas, and Basic V eracities, by Peguy. In the library one could learn many things concerning library usage by just looking at the displays and posters. To climax this interesting week, Laverne Gay, the author of two well-known historical novels, The Unspeahables and The Wine of Satan, came to talk to us about her work and the need for good Christian authors in the world today. Through all this We find that Book Week not only increased our knowledge of great books and library usage but made us realize how great an opportunity there is in the field of writing for spreading the ideals of Christian living. i Athenais de Mortemart '52 fflbovej Laverne Gay, Author, with Louise Lazarus and loan Thompson., Presi- dent and Secretary of the Book Club.

Sportsmanship and school spirit were emphasized to the team as much as skill. The whole Tennis Club urged the team on to success as inter-school matches were held. No one will ever forget either the perseverance and patience or the enjoyment in the work displayed by each member of the Tennis Club. This year the first doubles team was fortunate in bringing home the cup of the Northern California Inter-school Tennis Tournament for the 1951 season. Irene Gallwey '52 Ifflbovej The Tenrzis Team.

Our relatives recall the wonderful experiences they had here and wish us to enjoy it, too. Although Dominican may change exteriorly, we know that its ideals, culture, and all-around education are permanent. The legacy of Dominican training is proudly handed down in many families and is considered an essential part of their lives. Anne Adams '52 mm LUWEH SCHINIL The Eighth Grade Graduates. GRAIIUATIU A small brown salamander had hopped onto Susan Greenwayis white shoe just as she came out the door in the graduation procession. What could she do? He hung stubbornly on as she became one of the long line of girls performing one of the Lower School's oldest traditions. If she lost her balance trying to shake him too much, it would be too embarrassing. Susan trembled and shook with fear while the Guard of Honor was formed. Then, oh, how dreadful. It was time for l1er to recite '4Valedictory. How could she do it? Someone would be sure to notice the salamander, and if they laughed Susan knew she would cry. Bravely she started out with the opening words. No one laughed, and the words came stronger and clearer. She was elated when the applause came, for with it there was no laughter. Now, she could graduate without worry. Sally Bell, her best friend, was beaming radiantly as she walked back with measured step to her place in line with her diploma. Now it was Susan's turn. She felt a 'twitch at her feet and looking down, saw no salamander. She received her diploma with a beaming face, and upon seeing her mother, exclaimed, Hlsnlt it a beautiful day? , . Nathalie Kuhn, Sth grade Pass in Bootsf' One of the Youngest Horsewomelt. l THE CHERRY TREE There is a cherry blossom tree, Outside my window pane, It looks just like a picture, And the window is the frame. The picture reminds me of a story, I read one, long ago, It was about George Washington, The rest I am sure you know. I like my tree best in spring time, For then, the blossoms fly, And bloom instead with lovely red For Daddy, lVIum1ny, and I. Wendy Graupner, 6th grade ANGEL WINGS A pretty little plant, Of all strange things, Has leaves the shape Of an angeI's wings. It looks down at us From our brown book case, Where it grows and spreads In a snow-white vase. Loretta Dash, 6th grade . THE FIRST TEAR DROP There was, oh such a lovely thing, That happened just the other day, There was one bright little tear That found a hed where we always play. It hung upon a blade of grass, It glittered in the fading light, And when at last the rain was gone, It hung there all the quiet night. Diane Bregante, 6th grade g K HOW I CAME TO AMERICA When I was nine years old my mother spread the news, In two weeks we are leaving for America, the country of liberty and freedom. The two weeks passed as two years, for a child whose heart desired freedom. When the long awaited day arrived, I was full of excitement. HN ow they are off for Americaf, I could hear everyone say. Ten days passed until I finally spied the Statue of Liberty. After everything was settled we headed for Arizona. Since I arrived I have had some feeling that tells me that America is the cou11try which God, pointed out for us to live in. After staying in Arizona for two months we came to California. When I finished going to school in Santa Barbara, California, I came to Dominican, the best school in the world. I hope to stay at Dominican as long as possible. Sarolta Habsburg, 5th grade wi- QUAIL Up on our lot there live some quail With funny little plumes And a fluffy, feathery tail. All those little quail were hatched from eggs, And run quite fast on their Little tiny legs. If sometimes you should watch the little quail Hee, Please try to forgive them For not jumping on your knee. NOW, Queenie, my dog, she chases grown quail, And you see them for a second And they vanish without fail. Zoe Merret, 5th grade THE NEW SCHOOL We're going to our new school next year We can hardly wait for the day We'l1 bring along the good day cheer And Happiness all the way. We'll have reading, and writing and arithmetic And spelling on the serious side. But with this all every day the good times we'll not hide. Valorie Armstrong, 4th grade STARS P Stars are funny little things. They shine so brightly in the sky, and why, I dOn't know. But one day l'll see the stars in heaven because l shall be living on One, and I'll see the whole world. Patty Lynn Connors, 3rd grade -5-'sign-5,'fq1r.5'1' 1Sf'v?ti:'2-3' 15- '1r'I.i'l5r5.'7?f 1.

The golden road sang as the dancers came, Air was filled with the music of dancing folk. The golden ripe corn gleamed in sinking sun Verdant meadows were silent, sheep grazed on sweet gi ass The music was gay, all the world having fun, The deep blue sea silent, unrippled, like glass. As the sun lowered, moving behind a tree, The ivory moon lit up the sky, Like a lantern hung that one might see If he passes a window when twilight is nigh. And the moon rose alone, and on every flower Dew came like jewels on a Turk a banner borne, And in gentle westerly wind that cools . 1 M The evening earth, the dancers went home. Carol Lee Smith, 8th SCHOOLROOM FONT A cup of holy water upon the wall, A place for reaching fingers, one and all, A bowl of blessing set for every one Who travels out or in till day is done. A sign of the cross Soothes spirits against loss, And when you come or go, Dip your finger in softly, like so.
