THE TREE FIRST PRIZE High on a hilltop, stood the tree, Straight, majestic, for all to see, With arms outstretched toward the sky, Silently watching the clouds roll by. The sky in the west grew sullen and grey, And the tall straight trunk began to sway. A strong wind whistled and shrieked aloud, Carrying before it, a huge black cloud. A dagger of light leapt across the sky, To be swallowed up by the clouds on high. A blinding flash, a deafening crash, A torrent of rain, with wind like a lash. The storm was upon it, its fury unleashed, Clouds spewing rain, like a slavering beast. The hurricane force bent the tree back. The tall trunk split with a shattering crack. Battered and tossed by the storm so strong, The poor tree lay; its life was gone. Like many a man in trouble and strife. It could not stand in the storms of life. —DENNIS JOHNSON, XI-10. BABY SITTING SECOND PRIZE “There’s nothing to worry about”, Mrs. Jones said, “The children are quietly sleeping in bed. There’s cake on the table; make coffee or tea; I ' m not quite sure how long we will be”. I had just settled down in an easy chair, When I heard little foot steps on the stair. I turned off the radio and laid down my book, (The children should be sleeping, but I ' d better look.) Four tiny heads peeked round the wall, They were laughing and giggling at nothing at all. They spied the cake, to the kitchen fled, Brought out the butter, jam and bread. Betty was reaching for cups on the shelf, But knocked down the flour all over herself. The boys were covered in strawberry jam And one gav e the dog the Sunday ham. I sent them to bed and cleaned up every bit. Now, who said it was easy to babysit? —JANET HICKS, X-8. THE PINE THIRD PRIZE The tall pine bent in the evening breeze, Then stretched again to the sky. It stood above all the other trees A king, with its crown so high. It held up its branches in proud display For all the world to see. And even the grass, which beneath it lay, Admired its finery. The soft clouds cushioned its lofty head With arms so loving and white, They seemed to give it a restful bed And shelter from the night. The smaller trees looked up with pride At their King, in the dwindling light, And knew that, as long as he stood at their side, All would be safe and right. —LEILA MORTIMER, X-13. HONOURABLE MENTION Winter Walk . . . ... Sheila Ostrander, XII-12 Evening . George Pernsteiner, XI-10 I’m Lonely Pat Whiklo, X-13. 29
