UNPARTED Shout a paean of joy to the skies! Bugle an exultant cry of freedom! Graduation! Release! Release! Release? Unhappy thought . . . with release: Partings . . . Will there be-partings? Some . . . Partingffrom you, Iohn7 you, Tom? you, Mary? No! Mary! dig crimson fingernails into my flesh! Hold me! I fear-this sudden release! Thrust-out-am-I-deluged-with-freedom! Whence this sudden, quiet strength in my veins? Whence this soothing assurance of help? From you? Yes. Attached are we still, Alma Materg All bonds are not hereafter sheared: Your strength will yet succor troubled hearts ln the breasts of the students you reared. ALFRED HARKAN '37 Page Thirty-one

THE MEMORY LINGERS ON Roses bordering the entrance to the building. The first day you enter high school some senior tries to sell you an elevator ticket. Reading the bulletin board in hopes of an assembly to shorten all the morning periods The feeling of suspense when we file into the auditorium. Standing while our alma mater is played. The smell of the chemistry room after an experiment. The study bell has rung signifying the teacher should stop and the students beginf The tension before an exam- lull before the storm. A'Now where were we? You want to be prepared for judgment day. A green eye shade. A slip reading, A'Report to Mr. Loves office at onceff lingering nonchalantly in the halls while classmates studied. lf youve heard this one. stop me. l.eaving class when the janitor bell rings. Trying to study Monday morning after u good time Sunday. Cutting last period to get a seat in the grandstand. Deceiving a substitute teacher by exchanging seats and names. 4'Difliculties strengthen the mind as labor does the body. lt's not the idea of winning. but putting up a losing fight. Chewing on dill pickles at games. Girls in oversize letterman's sweaters. Dirty cords worn as a boys' fad. Why do you insist on irritating me? Each person looking out for only himself while crossing halls. Filing demerit slips weekly. Trying to do an hours assignment in five minutes. Swallowing gum under the teachers eagle eye. The feeling of relief when the study-bell rings. The fifth period passing bell on the day we get our report cards. Please push your chairs under the table. The first assembly after the seniors received their envied sweaters. Drawing Popeye and Wimpy on the tablecloth at the Merit Society banquet. The bands inspiring music in pep rallies. Warming up for a league basketball game. The tree planting on P.-T. A. Founders Day. The locker room chatter after an M. H. S.defeat. Winning a relay by a narrow margin. Smoothing one's silky locks before pictures are taken. Those last few days before school is out. Sign my annual. please. That long march down the aisle on commencement night. Those smiles and tears when you give Mother and Dad your diploma. Saying farewell to all your friends and teachers at M. H. S. Page Thirty-Iwo
