Fantasie Impromptu This is my impression of Chopin’s Fantasie-Imprompty,” Opus 66. The shore, sea, and trees mentioned are at Point Lobos, which I visited last summer, and which left a deep imprint on my mind. Z ephyrns flurried through the trees , And swished the tops with hands so lithe, Then twirled to wrinkle the face of the seas; Kissed Thetis ’ foaming lips so blithe. Now Corns, jealous, lashed the deep, And whined through cypress; flogged the reef, While Neptune roared and rose to leap — T o smite the foe in wrathful grief. But now bright Venus soothes the winds; T o Bather Aeolus home they waft. And peace to shore and sea reminds Them not of winds’ disputes so daft. Margaret Cartwright, Low Ten. Tenth Grade Prize. ACKNOWLEDGMENT To the hundreds of students who submitted poetry and stories for the Gleaner, we express our deep appreciation. Not one article or poem was unworthy of publication, but alas! we have not space for all. The interest of Seventh and Eighth Grades was unusual. We are able to give but four grade prizes but will each contestant consider himself Honorably Mentioned”? The Editors. The Honor Society Banquet Listen my children and you shall hear, Of the greatest event throughout the year. November seventeenth, nineteen thirty-seven All who attended are still in heaven. The decorations were simply grand, Everyone lent a helping hand (? ) Then ive dined to our own Jazz Band, Which is the best in all tloe land. T o Mrs. Kilkenny we give all our love, And President Paul was sweet as a dove. After tloe program down we all pranced, T o tJoe cafeteria, where we danced. And so through the night we froliced and feasted But by eleven, ive all had ceased. And thus my children you all have learned, How our wonderful evening finally turned ( out ) . Louise Murphy, Mary Stewart, High Nine.

The Bells T he hells of the church Are soft and low, As they are swinging T o and fro. T he humming of Their constant heat Goes through the windows And into the street. T he night is filled with silence, But the bells go echoing on — Humming, heating, tingling, Until the break of dawn. Some people filled with sorrow — Some people filled with joy — All kneel down in silence ; Even a little hoy. The bells ring in the Christmas, With love, and joy, and cheer, rf Happiness and peace on earth, Throughout the coming year.” Beverly Poole, Low Eight. Eighth Grade Prize.
