BARBARA BILLICK January 5, 1954 March 6, 1970 Something has spoken to me in the night, Burning the tapers of the waning year; Something has spoken in the night. And told me I shall die, I know not where. Saying: “To lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; To lose the life you have, for greater life; To leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; To find a land more kind than home, more large than earth- — Whereon the pillars of this earth are founded. Toward which the conscience of the world is tending- A wind is rising, and the rivers flow.” Thomas Wolfe SOUNDS OF HAPPINESS SENIOR DIRECTORY JOSE ABREGO— Track 2,3,4; Cross Country 4.
