GMI A STORM AT SEA The last vessel moored out of the blast, The last fishing boat safe at last, The sky getting darker, darker, The sea getting rougher, rougher, The wild winds whistling and roaring, Hugh waves against the shore crashing, The raging storm trying to conquer And subdue the tumultuous sea, Everything is safe against the storm Except the storm bird, the albatross. Boris Konecny ,56 SKIING Down the mountain you go Through the fluffy white snow, Now turning the corners on high Making the powder snow fly. Down in the snow you turn Going so fast you burn, You hit a bump and away you fly Up, up through the sky. Clifford Norton '55 SNOWFLAKES Softly and gently, without a sound, The fluffy snowflakes dance to the ground, They nestle snugly in almost any place Till a crafty breeze whirls them in a race. Alas for our daring little flakes When the Warm sun comes out to playl For then Old Mother Nature makes Our lovely snowflakes melt away. Louise Philbrick '56 SNOW From my window tonight I can see The snow falling slowly to the ground, It falls on all that is about, It falls so softly it makes no sound. It falls on the trees and rocks, On plants and all at hand, It covers all with loving care, Tomorrow it will be a fairy land. Beverely Chadbourne '56 Page Twenty-Two
