A Study in Mythology THE BABY-SITTER Seventy-five cents an hour, that is my rate, To stay with your children until very late. I watch little darlings, so good, so sweet, I strain their potatoes and grind up their meat, I put them to bed, read a story or ten, About the Three Bears or the Forgetful Wren. Some tear out my hair or poke my eye, And while I to the first-aid kit do fly, Knock over tables, lamps, and chairs, Push little sister down three flights of stairs. They scream in my ears, pound on my head, Holler for candy while Sue falls from bed. I can't do my homework, my papers they tear, Eat my crayolas, pour ink in my hair, Holler for water, cry for some more, Drink up half, throw the rest on the floor. Oh, yes, I'Il watch your children 'til late, A baby sitter am I, seventy-five cents is my rate. Luis Owano 4B-8 SEASONS Softly blows the breeze The scent of flowers bearing. Gently stir the trees- All their beauty sharing With the cloudless sky, Azure, calm, serene. While swiftly bubbling by, The brook completes the scene. The air is wet with heat, And never a breath of wind. The lush earth waits to greet Rain only heaven can send. Dark clouds blacken the plain, With flashes of lightning rent, A torrent of wind and rain And Nature's fury's spent. A world of brilliant hues, As gales tempestuous blow. Gray clouds obscure the blue, But reflect the glory below. The harvest time of earth, When Nature gathers her store. And all of beauty or worth Returns to Her once more. Bleak, desolate, windswept sea, Unbroken stretch of white, Save for a lonely tree That mingles with the night, Night with pale moonbeams That dance upon the snow. Aland of haunting dreams, While cold the North Wind blows Richard Lyons 4B 2 IMPRESSIONS OF WINTER Everything is white in the winter. The ugly, crooked fingers of barren autumn trees are covered with white billows of soft snow, and their snow-covered branches, silhouetted against the light blue sky, appear to be fine patterns of the most delicate lace . . . Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! -That's the sound I hear when walking alone, early in the morning, on sidewalks, covered with inches of white. The rhythm of my footsteps beats little phrases and songs to my thoughts . . . Did you ever wonder what power designed the lovely frosted window-panes you see each winter morning? Feathers of ice are strewn across the glass, only to melt too soon into droplets of cold, crystal clear water, that slowly sink out of sight . . . Harvey Rudotf 4A-6

MOTH ER The grey of her temples, The dimple in her chin, The smile that makes you happy, Her body still quite trim. Her taste of colors is lust right. Not too dull and not too bright. The way she talks with ease and grace No faults find I, none to trace. In my opinion there could not be, A more able person to bring up me, She is my symbol of light and hope And forever she will be. Joan Krihak 2A-2 A MOUNTAIN Have you ever seen a mountain, A mountain tall and steep? A mountain capped with snowy white On which the stars look down at night. A mountain like a castle, It's lovely, and, although It has no soul to pray with, lt's close to God, you know. Edda Anderson 3B-4 THE QUESTION The child stood at the window, looking out, And What am I, is what I heard him say. Ah, child, you are quickly growing up, You've lost a part of childhood this day. Yes childhood, so safe and so secure, Never wondering at life slipping by, Never questioning what is on the surface, Never asking the burning question why. No, only adults look for something hidden, Not content to live, and ask no more. They must know the reason for existing, They must know what lies beyond the door. But the child looked up at me, expecting answers. Don't worry yet, you're iust a child, I cried. He took this as an answer to his question, And smiled serenelyg he was satisfied. Sylvia Bernstein 3A-7 GOD'S PLAN God has a plan for you, dear friend, A perfect plan till the ages end. Of ioy and peace for the trusting heart, If you are willing to do your part. Beverly Jea n Steike 3A-5 This scene depicts a dramatization of Early American frontier life.

SUNSET When shadows are falling, And evening is born, I sit by my window So weary and worn. The blue sea beside me, The gulls overhead, The whole world is quiet, The sky's turning red. The sight I behold None finer I know The sun is iust setting The whole world's aglow. The haze of bright colors, The reds and the golds, Its beauty enthralls me As each scene unfolds. But deep in the distance The sun far away, Brings beauty at evening And brightens the day. Beverly Altounian 2A-I THE SNOW The snow is such a wondrous thing, It comes so gently falling down, It blows against the window panes And covers all the streets in town. lt falls upon the forest trees And buildings high and tall, It leaves a very lustrous scene Besides a hill or waterfall. The crystal flakes so pure and white Are falling all around, To cover everything in sight On top of hills or lower ground. It has a very lovely glow And makes you want to sing, But often makes you very sad When it disappears in spring. Norma Sanford 3B-2 HAVE YOU ? Have you looked upon an evening sunset that sheds its flaming rays of gold? Have you sailed the ocean blue with shimmering moon- beams dancing bold? Have you climbed the highest mountains where the peaks stand white and free? Have you seen a sight so stately as a great maiestic tree? If you have viewed these wonders, then your life is truly blest, So pause, and thankful be for beauty, peace, and rest. Beverly Jean Steike 3A-5 Since television has become such a large part of our modern world, the technique of make-up has become most important. THE GAME There's nothing quite so thrilling As a victory is to me, A time when all our fellows Famous heroes seem to be. A burst of sudden cheering Loudly swells up from the stands, As the boys appear out on the floor, The ball in able hands. Those uniforms of red and white Go streaking by to score, But through much hard and vigorous play, Their trimness is no more. As they guard all their opponents, As they race about the floor, The basket waits, above them, For our boys to boost their score. Hoorah! Whoopeel It's over! The victory's on our side! Our boys came through as they'll always do, All heroes, Lake View's pride! Donna Lenters 2A-2
