BENEATH THE WAVES Man dominates the world but, when he ventures a mere I2 feet beneath the waves, all his power and glory vanish. Here he is just an onlooker at nature's wonders. A few feet under the surface civiliza- tion ends swiftly and abruptly, the law of the jungle is omnipresent. All around the struggle for life is going on, a starfish crawls up and seizes an unwary oyster and voraciously devourers the soft insides only to fall prey to a predatory moray eel. The beauty of nature seems to manifest itself here under the waves. The coral abounds in a riot of color, with the varicolored fish floating everywhere. Nature seems to delight in draping her denizens of the deep in a myriad of color and then sending them out into the ocean to astound and amaze man in his punitive adventures to the world beneath the waves. Allow me to describe the wonderland of a few square feet of a coral reef. As we approach the reef we see blotches of color speckling the rocks, a closer glance shows this to be patches of sea urchins packed together like people in the subway. They stand proudly waving their yellow and purple arms in the wash of the ocean currents. Out of the corner of our eyes we see a dark shape dart into a hole in the coral, as we turn to get a better view a delicate pair of antenna wave at us and we can see a small lob- ster peering half-heartedly at us, clicking his claws half in fright and half in a false show of bravado. An octopus reaches out of a crevice in the coral and grabs an unsuspecting oyster who has foolishly for- gotten to anchor itself to the reef. A spider crab creeps up the wall of reef nearly reaching the top before it is knocked off by a passing grouper chasing a smaller angelfish that successfully eludes his pursuer and proceeds to harass a passing blowfish into blowing itself up and floating quietly up to the surface. A school of dartfish swim leisurely by, their yellow darts standing out from their drab blue bodies like dabs of yellow paint against a blue wall. Our attention shifts to a dark shape overhead. A porpoise, the clown of the ocean, is suddenly darting around us at a dizzying speed trying to entice us to play with him. Darting to the surface and then back, romping around like a young boy on the first day of vacation. Our air supply is getting depleted and we must leave soon, so we take our last look around this magic wonderland of color and life, taking in all the beauty of it, the varicolored reef, the lobster cave and the spider crab still patiently trying to climb the coral wall and head for the surface, our visit be- neath the waves ended. john McFarland SKIING From on top of the hill, I look down with a thrill, At the valley far below. THE NIGHT Tall pines dot the scene, Which is very serene, Covered with glistening snow. Still and chilly, starlit night, To me, what beauties you enfoldg I strap on my skis, A countless number of stars shine bright, And Push off with ease, Enhancing the moon and lessening the cold. Toward the winding trails below, And I choose to follow, Slowly my dreams start sweeping in, AS I stan to go, Through all the night's noisy din. A nail through the fluffy snow The trees become dancers in the dark Swaying gently to the breeze in the park. Ahead is a curve, And I stan to swerve, Now the breezes blow a kiss to the moon, Gaining speed all the times With all the ardor of lovers in june. And the snow I send, Alas, the time comes when I must depart As I round the bend, Is like a giant plume behind. Mary Hill But before I know, I am startin to slow, For the end of the ride is near, But I won't stop, I'll go to the top, For the thrill of that ride again! Rudy Bere s But I have locked the nights wonders within my heart

ON BOYS This is a subject on which much has been said, and on which much more can be said. Stories, poems, songs, novels, essays, and the like have been written about them. Yet, just what is a boy? Hav- ing six brothers, I'll try to answer this question as best as I can. First we'll start with the age group 6 - 11. Take one small body, put on a shock of unruly hair tumbling down into its mischievous eyes, paint on a cheerful mouth, with its two front teeth missing, dress it in a T-shirt and overalls with a few rips and tears, add a handful of freckles for good measure, and you'll have a fair idea of what this type looks like. It loves animals, fdead or alivej, hates girls, saves rusty nails, screws, bottle caps, scrap iron, funny books, and string, loathes washing and bed- time, dislikes his own name and prefers a nickname such as Sluggo, Butch, Skinny, Cud, or Stinky, loves peanuts, popcorn, icecream, and candy, hates spinach, peas, carrots, and homework, loves to scare girls with dead mice, snakes and bugs, and excels in doing all things he's been told not to do. The next group is from 11-14 years of age. A boy of this age may or may not be found with his hair combed and his face washed. In the summer he is usually found carrying a baseball bat and glove, and in the winter with skiis or skates. He loves food, all kinds, cowboys, Captain Video, Buck Rogers, Rama of the jungle, dogs, still dislikes girls except the older 14-year olds who are beginning to show a little interest, and he is very enthusiastic over fishing, hunting, and scouting. His dress habits are better than his younger brothers' but still not too good. Now comes the high school age group. This group is the most interesting of all, particularly to high school girls. Having a brother of this age, I made some interesting observations and have first-hand information to report. This lad wouldn't dream of going out without having his hair combed and spends 30-50 minutes trying to get his wave perfect. Each day he looks in the mirror to see if his beard has started growing and is over-joyed to see one or two premature hairs. Before retiring at night he polishes his shoes until he can see his face in them and dislikes having any wrinkle in his shirt. What interests him most, of course, is girls. Each, however, has his own technique. The freshman's outstanding charac- teristic in this field is his ability to blush if a girl looks at him. The sophomore has more confidence, due to greater experience, and he has the courage to walk over to a girl, talk about the weather, sports and other current topics. By the time he's a junior, a boy has become cocky and idles up to a girl, flicks an imaginary speck of dust off his shoulder, throws his arm around her and says 'Hiya babe, watcha doin' t'night? A more timid girl would either burst into tears or run at this supposedly masculine approach. However, the senior boy feels above and beyond these lower persons. He is now a man and acts with all the sophistication of man. He uses this approach in getting a date, Greetings, fair damsel, wouldst thou accompany me to the theater this evening? My carriage shall be at your disposal at 7. Fair- well. A more tactless lad, though, might use this approach. 'Hiya doll. C'mon show t'night. I'll pick you up in my crate at 7. See yah. I have just touched the surface of this subject, and written down my observations. Any boy who was in any way offended by the above material, will have to accept the truth as manly as he can. As the saying goes, 'Boys will be boys. Virginia Morzenti ODE TO THE LAND OF THE LAKES It's a joy to live in the land of the lakes Where the gentle breezes are blowing Where fun is not hard to make And tourists and friends are always going. Where swimming and boating are full time fun And there's walking in nature too You can always lay in the rays of the sun Or go out in your little canoe. It's truly a sportsman's paradise With fish to catch in every lake To catch the biggest, there's always a prize. So many go out for the prize to make. So if you want fun, to free you from cares Go down to the land of the lakes. You'll never regret that you went there For that vacation you're going to take. Audrey Ray ala
