It was founded in eighteen fifty-three, Over a hundred years ago, Generations of families have been there, From Gram, to freshman joe. Everyone seems to take for granted This school which they attended, But when Graduation comes, they know That their lifels best years are ended. Later in life as I drive by, I'll point to it and say, The four best years of my whole life Were there at McIA. By Maurice Slayton LIFE-GREAT What is life, what you make of it? Are you glad you're a part of it? Although it has its ups and downs, Wear a smile, cover those frowns. If luck against you seems to be Look around and you will see Others much worse off than you, Wear a grin, real happy too. Think of the good things you possess, Your country, friends, and all the restg Life is great, if great you make it, Live, be happy, work-youill make it! By Judy Conant 26

SUNDAY MORNING It's Sunday morning, the Sabbath Day. The day is warm and clear and bright. People are on their way to church, It's a happy and glorious sight. The church bells are happily ringing, We enter the little white church. It's quiet and peaceful and still there, For many the end of a search. The choir raises its voices clear, The church is filled with song. We all feel God's presence here, A peace for which we all long. Soon the service is over, The people rise to go. They all have peace of mind now. For God has willed it so. A THUNDERSTORM The sky was darkg the air was still, A summer's storm was near. By Camille Sicard The lightning ilashedg the thunder roared, The storm is really here. Wind is risingg rain is falling, A flash and then a crash. Streams are formingg trees are swaying, Raindrops fallingg we hear them splash. The rain lets upg the wind dies down, The sun begins to shine. The rainbow comes, showing beauty Of the country thatis yours and mine. MAKING THE BEST OF SCHOOL Sometimes to school we hate to go, To face assignments and essaysg But surely all of us must know, It will mean much in later days. There is to do, the work each day No matter rain, the snow, and sun. Doing our best, it surely pays The world to face when school is done. Do think of this on every day: Do not despair, be gay and smile As off to school you iind your way. School can't be such a bitter trial! 27 C arlene Dunn
