DREAM BELIEVER: Junior Mary Schenk is one of Mater Dei ' s poetic persons. She is full of love and is always giving her all in everything she does. Warmth and happiness are given from Mary through each of her poems. (Photo by Alan Bur- dette) rainbow connection % gentle rain can be very T comforting — somewhat soothing. It is relaxing to lie in bed and hear the soft pitter-patter of raindrops falling on the rooftop. Af- ter the rain, the air is fresh, and ev- erything is bathed in tiny glistening droplets. The earth is cleansed and reborn. A violent rain is unnerving. A bolt of lightning cracks and pops across the black sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap. The sound startles you. The wind becomes hur- ricane-like, swaying street lights, smashing windows, and uprooting huge trees. And after it all, rainbows some- times can ' t be seen . . . they have to be felt. — Mary Ellert
