a Bzeam, Song of Joy By Margaret Malone '68 Oh, I feel good today! I feel as if I could compel the rosebush to bloom, The spiders alone can spin a material - a net - to capture my mood. I even like my nose! The sidewalk's made of cotton, The stairs are made of rubber, I could bounce, and bounce, and bounce! I feel eloquent enough to burst into Latin! I'm unconquerable! I'm in orbit! 1 Nothing can stop me now. The moon is there for my pleasure, The sun for my whimsy. The very grass is green for my liking. : Strum the chord of gladness, i The day has come The veil has lifted He talked to me! ! My Machine By Jerry Phillips '68 'I just got my new bomb out of the shop ,I;My hair was looking a mop 1I'll tell you my machine really did move 'Everyone knew I was in the groove . 11 asked my friends if they wanted , 1a ride I They found out my personality was ilike Jekyll. and Hyde ' 1By the time we got to the top of the hill They knew that I wanted to kill V All of a sudden we got to the curve a :My bad little mobile started to swerve , :Then I started screaming at Mitch My bad little bomb fell into the ditch . I got out with a bump on the head But the two sweethearts in the back seat were dead This is my story, sad but true ' Never drive while drinking brew. ,, 7, - a hope, Ayn 29, 1966 a 6elie6, tReprinted with permission of the ed- itorof the Sacred Heart Seminary Spectrum. lRequested by Ken Seguin '69.. . . . and Godsaid let there be light and there was, and again God said let there be green things growing on the earth and beasts of the sea, birds of the air, and animals and wild beasts on the land. . . . and God said let there be man to rule over all these, my creations. And there was man. Man grew. He planted crops and sub- jugated animals. Man was logical and reasonable. Man was very inventive and emotional. He w ar r e d on neighboring families, clans, tribes, cities, and even- tually nations. Man was intelligent, he didn't have to listen to anyone. Man finally got fed up with this simple 01d earth and decided to play like . that leg- endary fairy-tale god. Man got out his toys and said let there be light. And there was light. Nice big blossoming light in the shape of large mushrooms. Man had said let there be no green things grow ing on the earth, beasts of the sea, birds of the air, or animals or wild beasts on the earth. Man had said let there be no man. D. Schwieger Preiudice By Josephine Borg '66 The wind and storm tear a limb from the tree. A different color and language split man from men. The wood struggles agains- the wave, alone, out of its environment. A man fights prejudice, lonely in another man's world. The wood has endured the wave, it finds peace in the bosom of the sea. A man has accepted prejudice, he finds peace in the bosom of God. a poem SENTINE L 5 Today By Michelle Karl '69 I'm tired of Todays Each moment of my life- My every waking hour is Today. Why can't I eat Tomorrow? 0r dance on 21 Yesterday? Why is the world just Todays? Driftwood By Ramona Misiunas '66 Floating, swaying, back and forth with the waves -- Driftwood. A piece of tree broken away from the whole --gone on an adventure of its own. No one Knows but you, little one, That it takes courage to break away; to become individual. You have been beaten and tossed, and thrown from shore to shore. T0 the seemingly mighty you are no longer worthy of consideration, for you have dared to go alone --no longer united with the security of greatness. And this is the way you will remain --a nothing until an individual who has experienced the difficult and the lonely with you discovers your beauty and proclaims you --a source of inspiration.

4 SENTINEL April 29, 1966 Czeativitq is. . . m: inspimtion, a moob, The other dayI was informed of a das- tardly plot that could have stunned the world for months, had it been completely Successful. It seems thatSEEB, the So- ciety for the Extinction of the Easter Bun- ny, had deVised a formula by which they could, indirectly, put the above mention- ed rabbit on an unfriendly basis with many of his little friends. But, luckily, this was basedon a falsely assumed assump- tion. SEEB figured to make the Easter Bunny tail-heavy by adding powdered lead to the egg paint. When this mixture dried it was supposed to have a disheartening effect on the hopping ability of the famous hare. This brings us to the false assumption. SEEB assumed that the rabbit used his tail to paint the eggs ., but, as all me mbers of SEEBE, Society for the Extinction of Easter Bunny Extinguishers, know , he does not use his tail at all. This false assumption also brings into the story our two heroes, Spot and Puff. These two are the masterminds of an or- ganization of masterminds, MEEW, or, Mass Easter EggWorkers, and obviously helps the popu lar rabbit in his annual masterpiece. Getting back to the near disaster, SEEB came closer to success than they realiz- ed. It has long been a p ractice of MEEW to te st the sacred. paint before it is put into mass use, but being anxious, the re- nowned rabbit started work before it was tested. This anxiousness temporarily costhim the use of his ears because they are precisely what he uses to paint with. When confrontedwith this horrible hap- pening, S pot and Puff activated MEEW which in turn activated SEEBE which in turn brought the famous enemy of e vi 1, Mighty Mouse, a close relative of Bat Man on the scene. Mighty Mouse was then able to make the egg delivery in the nick of time to save the world. Had it not been for the quick-thinking of Spot and Puff, the parks of the U. S. would have been destroyedlby frustrated little Easter Egg seekers. In retrospect, it is possible the orga- nization MEEW seems vaguely familiar. This is probably because Puff, the found- er, has informed many of his cat friends of the organization. They in turn spread its fame by the simple, but altered, ex- clamation, MEW. Woman's Psalm By Cecilia Kieleszewski '66 The strength I posess is like to the surging waves rushing to shore. My faith is firm like the rock My love, the morning mist--all- enveloping but never ending Wisdom I am--the leaning stick of my people. My purpose gleams before me, a true light - I follow always. I believe in man - in me strength he finds Gentle am I - roses sweet whisper their dreams to me. Truth is my rainment - it reflects my beauty to all. Delight I bring to children, comfort to the forsaken. My Lord's bosom swells at my name. He is at my side always. To Be Alive By Mary Sue Gallagher '68 I walked and I saw a flower, pale and fragile, and its sweetness perfumed the air around me. I saw a bird building a nest and he sang for me. I saw a willow tree swaying in the breeze and its slender leaves brushed my face with their coolness as I passed by. I looked and I saw the sky and it seemed bluer just for me. I saw my love and I felt a joy that I had never known before springing from deep inside me and I finally realized what it is to be alive. The Obscure Secret By Les Goodchild '66 'Simple'. Yes, 'simple'. A beguiling word; meaning, well, meaning every- thing. Everything in us, that has not been mutilated by years of hate, bigotry, dis- ease, famine, confusion, insanity, war, and even peace. But that which has not been mutilated by these, has ruled victor, has ruled un- conquered. This is man's simple human nature free from corruption. The growth of a plant, the staged cli- max of a sunset, the beauty of dew on a blade of grass, all Nature's realm, has stood firm against these invaders. She has looked mockingly in our face; has satirized us for eons of time. Yet, we have not paid her heed; we have been the saps, going our merry way. For her joy, her happiness, her contentment, her p eace has been manifested in a simple one-syllable word: LIFE. LIFE: we have forgotten it, lost it to the vultures of time, left it for the evap- orating rays of the noon-day sun. We have lost our chance for regaining it by creating a greedy, self-demanding' Utopia, full of red lights, green buttons, and yellow ticker tape . We have filled our chests with rusting metal and rotting grain, throwing the secret of life to the winds. Let us go out--let us redeem that which has been discarded! Let us find our val- ues, not ingreat masterpieces 'of crea- tion, not in towering manifestations of man's mind but in - in - look! seek! the? key - 21 BLADE OF GRASS. A blade of grass has the simplicity that should typify man's nature. It is strong, flexible, beautiful, and kind. It is-- STRONG: In the early s p r i ng , this single, feeble blade breaks through the crust of w inter s g r ip on the ground; ground that was solidly frozen. If lodged inacrack of a rock, in time its strength will split it. It can be stepped on-yet still live. BEAUTIFUL: It is structurally com- plete, full, breathless, and has a single purpose: to grow. It is magnificent in its simplicity, yet staggers the imagina- tion when amassed in numbers. KIND: Yes, grass is kind. It can com- fort those who rest on it, hide those t small enough for protection, and is used as food - yet it does not complain. l If we realize it, a blade of grass can j almost stand anything - but it too, like man, can die. K The greatness. of a blade is symbolic I of the principle of life itself, of life eter- I nal - the untouched sanctity of simplicity!
