POETRY CONTEST FIRST PRIZE DaDDY ' S SHADOW by ROSE MALAZDREWICZ 11-10 He has a tiny shadow And he is six feet tall, Though shadows sometimes telescope How can his be so small? When he digs in the garden It digs the self same way. And when he presses plants in place His shadow pats the clay. Then suddenly the shadow Has ideas of his own, .and little brother nans indoors Leaving Daddy alone. SECOND PRIZE DAY OF aLL DAYS by LORRAINE RAU 11-11 Outside the window the sun shines bright, It seems more than eight hours since it was last night. Judgment day has come as expected and soon I’ll know if I’ve been accepted. I dress very quickly and hurry downstairs Ignoring my family and dodging the chairs. I sit down at the table, but simply can’t eat. Realizing, of course, this thing has me beat. Finally breakfast is over and I grab for my hat, Through my own carelessness, trip over the cat; Picking myself up, I rush for the door. Oopsli Down again—Now who waxed that floor? Once outside and refreshed by the air I look up the street for my pal, in despair. Presently I see him, trudging along, Hurry up. Slow Poke—forget that song! Today ray destination seems like miles— Yet the people around are all wearing smiles. Exhausted, I drag myself that last long block. And upon a crude door I nervously knock. From inside a squeaky voice shouts, Who goes? What a peculiar question from someone who knows— That I have come to take the test; That I ' m a recruit like a few of the rest. 43

All the girls shudder in fear. For the loss of fine locks Presents many rude shocks And the shedding of many a tear. There was a man of Madrid Ran into a house and hid He stole someone ' s wife To be his for life. The husband was glad that he did. There once was a class in Eighteen, Whose members could always be seen. Leaning up near the door. In Malchy ' s drug store. Sipping cokes while they carelessly lean. There once was a dark day in May, Which we were to call our Field Day, But how could we run, And have any fun. With snow lying ' round in the way.

DAY OF ALL DAYS (continued) Initiation is over and I ' ve been approved, Words can ' t express how deeply I ' m moved. My happy heart swells with pride—you bet Because it isn ' t every day I can become a Space Cadet!I THIRD FRIZE A SELFISH WISH by PaT JEFFERY 11-11 I would that I could will. To live forever on a hill. Far below the world would lie. Where none could reach me with a sigh. I would that I could have that peace, That gives a happy heart release. To live, to laugh, to love and then Give it to the world again. But since it is beyond my ' ken ' . To bring such happiness to men, I would that I could will. To live forever on my hill.
