Red Poppy ECSTASY By ELCEE BAILEY Waking once in early morn, Gazing toward the rising sun, Watching stars like years gone by, Disappearing one by one- I beheld a mystic vision, A panoramic view of lifeg A fabric wove in fantasy- Happiness threaded with strife! The past wound back thru countless years, Multi-colored as a paisley shawlg The future like spring rosebuds, Whose perfume seems sweeter in fall. More vivid still was the present, Which, like a summer day, More precious seems with winter gone And fall yet on the way. And as I gazed in wonderment Upon the scene so fair, The faintest music seemed to come And fill the dreamyairg A single chime rang out quite clear, And I, in greatest ecstasy, Listened to its joyful note And deemed it youth's own prophecy! wfqewfiliiw'wf.:ss,::e3s-Jnnfasrssaafxlsvvg-Af G

By WINIFRED HUBBARD ARLY in September of 1925, a crowd of freshmen lately from Junior High, flooded Girls High. Fat and thin, long and short, scared and blase-but all obviously freshmen. After a few weeks of grind, we lost a bit of our former shrinking and trepidation and began to accustom ourselves to the ways and habits of Girls High. As soon as we had been initiated to the mysteries of the Christmas play, of Cum Laudefl the various clubs, High Times, and Miss Woolf's exams, life looked rosier. And then the freshmen proved their presence by winning the basketball tournament-an almost unheard-of- occurrence for Girls High. And almost before we knew it, our first year at G. H. S. was over. September 1926 sees an entirely different crowd, although most of the faces and figures are the same. The freshmen of 1925, for the most part 'timid and unassertive, have miraculously blossomed into the 1926 juniors, self- possessed and very much at ease. Everything is now an old story-they know it all! Freshman days are spoken of as a period of the dark past, and fresh- man sisters are unfortunate beings to be patronized and utaught the ropes ! That year we dominated the Christmas play, the operetta-even the senior play had a junior lead and many juniors in the cast. And again we won the basket- ball tournament. September 1927 finds us back again for our last year at Girls High. Our feelings are mingled, but there is no denying the thrills of senior teas, rings and pins, senior music, the Christmas entertainment-and the HALCYON. There are still before us the thrills of our last senior play, our last operetta, our last basketball tournament-our first ITALCYON and our very first G. H. S. graduation. After that-who knows? ,, .a p.ii...1af ' ' 33 s' iyggffqf' Y gi Hgwwgm,
