APRIL 1- 5 School Spirit week 5 Second Literary program Spring Fling II I.S.C.F. conducts Easter Service 11 Feature Film, “Savage Sam” 24-26 Drama “The Incident At Carson Corners” From the first of haunted fury formed; Greating a host of devils and stormed The Gates of Gold in quest of sanctity. Here to seek the glory of an entity; To fill the breasts of loyal angels there With the Son of the Morning and tear An innumerable multitude to command Of evil incarnate — in a less holy land. Thus with livid hate infest the soul Of man and create an endless goal Of peace in the light of a lasting night. Encourage in whispering shadows to fight The curse of revelation in a morning star. The everlasting duty of the precious to mar The Pride of Eve and debauch her reason Of that infernal war and highest treason. Propagated in wicked design to ridicule; Slander man and make him forever a fool. To committing incest and whoredom ensnare And beguiling the mighty a yoke to bear. Thus to a closet of darkness, void of rest Bound in chains of the First and the Last. O Lucifer how you are fallen! To make His work hated; sullen. Once a seraphic being of glory, Now creating a meaningless story. Wherever you find a House of Prayer You come and build a chapel there. David Neufeld DEPRESSION In the dim future, I can see, Drawing nearer, surrounding me, Storm clouds black! Lightning crashes within my brain. I feel its throb like cutting pain! It goes on, And on, And on. Within me rages a tempest wild. I hear it screaming like a child, Who is hurt. I have to run. Run far and fast. Leave all behind. Find peace at last, From this storm, Which strikes At me. The air is close; heavy with storm. Like the vast skies, my thoughts are torn, And scattered. The shrieking winds whirl round my head, And now .... memories that once were dead Live again To haunt Me! And as I vainly struggle on, I turn, and see the past has gone. I look up. The clouds begin to break, revealing A silver lining! And then, new meaning Floods my soul. I kneel in awe and silent prayer, Thankful that Someone does care For me. — Mildred Elias 77
