Mr. Evan Engberg, Vice-Principal, and Mr. Carl Steiner are sponsors, The expressions of A WISE MAN are like books of knowledge. He paints the picture of the past in bright and vivid colors: the present in a mirror crystal clear. l-le opens the doorway to the future. -Henry Aaron, A8 DEATH VALLEY We stood there in the glaring sun Surrounded by the distant barren mountains Standing like sentinels to keep man From entering this forbidden land. No green thing growing anywhere, No blade of grass, no weed or sage - Nothing but salt and sand and rock. We came to seek adventure, life, To live again the rugged days When nature's relentless ways had kept away All efforts to cross that land Until some hardy soul Hitched twenty mules and more To giant wagons laden with borax ore And hauled it out of the Devil's Hole. This strange land ls not affected by our call. Here life is not the natural thing: No bird flew overhead, No food, no drink unpoisoned. Nothing to sustain the life of hardiest beasts: But man survives to enjoy The beauty nature has treasured here - Preserved for all eternity. -Eric Lindquist, A9 MY FIRST ROMANCE. A Thrill it was The way he fell for meg And l was also fond of him, As anyone could see. l tried to look my best each day And dressed with utmost care, He also looked most elegant - And even combed his hair! But then Miss Blake discovered us, Our souls she did dis-hearten When curtly she reminded Mom, We WERE in kindergarten. -Sheila F ox, A8 THE BEAUTIFUL CREATION The day started out as usual, but Suzy had a feeling something was going to happen. As the day dragged on, it seemed that Suzy had been wrong. She entered her last class filled with a jumble of emotions. Fear, doubt, an- ticipation, hope, all were inside of her. Oh, if only I dare hope, Suzy thought to herself. That shimmering material, the soft furry trim, the gorgeous color! There isn't a girl who Wouldn't love to wear ity to go places in that beautiful creation would be heaven on earth. But what right have l to dream of such a thing! As the bell rang, ending eighth period, the pupils dashed out into the quickly filling halls. Suzy too, started to go, but Dave signaled to her to wait. l-le looked pleadingly at Suzy and asked her something. She nodded a joyous assent. When Dave and Suzy walked out of class together, all of her wildest hopes had come true. She was in heaven on earth. Suzy was wearing Dave's- jacket. -Ann Lustgarten, A9
