E at mergence, , V Ge Q P H A ,J x kd, QL, Is it chaos? The faith of naive child The simple, trusting innocent believing Unused to harsh deceiving- Then the sophist cynicism Ot the wordly adult code. This is but a prelude YV here it duly weighs New theorems on wavering scale And then oheyse For long or little their examples In wild impulsive mode. This is but a prelude, S Where each blunt transtiguration, ls a phase in the construction Of a strong or weak foundation For a newly formed creation Of a specific kind. A prelude still unbalanced, Significant yet dim Wliere character that is to he ls yet a childish whim. Here choose ye well your traits- Young adolescent mind. ' Adele Pollazk.

I Sing Thee How? How can I tell in words that rhyme In meter set and roted, Wfhat people feel at parting timei How can such things he noted? lld have to start out with a sigh And- At this parting dreary We'll not forget the times gone by- The mere thought makes me weary. I'd have to say 'QI feel the pang- The deep pathos of leaving- And paraphrase the Scotch Auld Lang And feel its keen hereaving. How? Well, listen then Closely to me The time of parting sad? School of our teens we hail thee- Somewhere inside-lym glad. Berfzamf Lozvefzflml

Many of the athletes entered in the meet were jogging across the sur- rounding countryside getting the Ufeell' of the course. Over in one corner of the field, several of the runners were taking liinbering up exercises to loosen up their muscles. Down in the locker room, Ralph Woods-tlme pride and des- pair of Roxford High, sat engaged in a less strenuous task. From his locker, he brought forth a sandwich carefully wrapped in wax paper. Removing the protective covering, he opened his mouth wide in anticipation of sinking his teeth into the choice morsel. He was rudely interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Roxford coach. 'A fine cross-country runner you are. One hour before the start of the race, and you sit down in the locker room and begin eating your breakfast! Get out on that field! Ralph, with a sigh of despair, thrust the uneaten sandwich into the back pocket of his trunks and sallied forth upon the field to join the others. Ten minutes before the start of the race, all stopped for a needed rest. Finally the whistle blew for the start of the race, and in a few seconds they were off. At the termination of a speedy half-mile, Ralph found himself at the end of the group. Yet, when the two mile mark was reached, he found himself almost seventy yards from the leader-Johnston of Eastville. He cast a backward glance to see if he had unknow- ingly passed anyone during the past few hundred yards. He was unable to see another runner, but what he did see made his blood run cold. His quick glance behind had revealed two tiny field mice following not twenty feet back! Eigfaleelz
