WAVES ARE WHITE STALLIONS Mighty, plunging impatient - Intent on trampling To a pulp of nothingness The glistening white sands. fTj -Mathilcle Stern A9 YOU ASK. WHAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING? And I have no fitting answer. Shall I say the breaking dawn, A rosy veil flung above The jagged mountain peaks, Or some early morning With scrubbed, blue sky, Bolling green grass, lush with color And wet with dew? Or shall I tell ot sunny summer days, When lune carresses with her languid warmth? Or shall I commend the beauties of a sunset Pet theme ot poets, A rainbow oi color painted on a greying sky, As the sun, a glowing ball oi fire Drops down the universe Into nowhere. Or shall I recount the beauty oi twilight, When a blue window shade draws over God's world? Which ot these marvels of nature Shall I say is the most beautiful? I cannot decide. The wonder that is God's world Is filled with overwhelming beauty. - Susie Friedel, A8 SUN-WORSHIPPERS. the tall cactus trees of the desert, raise great green arms to the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The tired old Indian pounded, Pounded! Lifting sightless eyes Above the sea, The serpents slowly melted away. - Vicki Seiman, A8 GIANT MOUNTAINS hover protectingly Over the small brook, A Silver Serpent lazily crawling, Coils itself around rocks and trees Until it reaches the valley below - Silver upon silver, The moon lends its sheen, To the winding serpent, As it leaves the valleys, Continuing its journey, Toward the sea. - Marianne Bodner B9 The marshals, deputies, and assistant deputies of the SERVICE ORGANIZATION STAFF are pictured below Grand Marshal, Pete Patmang Marshals, Harry Stone, Dick Ha and Steve Landy.

He eagerly awaited it then POP, it was in his mittg and out again. I-Ie had fumbled the ballg the crowd went wild. It looked as if Bob had lost the game for us. lt was the ninth inning and the score was seven to seven. It seemed as if we would never get to bat. But, then Bob, with a single motion, scooped up the ball and hurled it to the boy on second base for the third out. Now it was our turn at bat. Everyone felt an inward groan as Bob stepped up to the plate. Not a word was uttered as he got two strikes on the first two pitched. And then on the third pitch, he sent the ball sailing over right field for the point that won the game for us. -Stan Leibowitz, A9
