ENN R 'N ? X 2lDLE IN THE GARDEN N THE garden Among the flowers, purple and magenta, Lie cigarette stubs, Hurled by dreaming lovers Left alone. Like pale forget-me-nots they spatter the ground: The ashes of burning questions and answers Thought but unsaid. Soon the rain will beat them into oblivion- Roots in the garden will twine around them, And their flowers will be stained Vermillion From the dreams left unsmoked. M 51263 ARIAN WARR'INGTON

ff gl D Lx Mg E E Q V 'S 5 'r Q 'l is very rarely encountered in the class room. She The heavenly pupi never asks the assignment-rather, you ask her. She never borrows-but lends cheerfully. She doesn't rate A or D, but B. She washes her neck, and does not eat onion sandwiches. Now and then she flunks an exam. She does not write original English themes to be read aloud to the intense bore- dom of the rest of the class, She is, in fact, perfect, However, she is not conscious of her virtues and does not wear a saintly look. Her nose is never shiny and she does not comb her hair in class. She makes a good appearance and is always friendly and jolly. LORAYNE TRETHEWEY. c of l K AG W l .8 J i C' H251

-4 Tn . INIIIIIIIII IDLER5 I HAVE WALKED OUT IN MIST I HAVE walked out in mist, Under a misty moon, Breathing White moonflowers Seeking the silver too soon. I have had cool leaves Wet with warm rain Lie close to my face: Heard a small Wind complain. Rising out of a clinging mist.- I have seen cold town light: And the shadows that rose above, Lingering and White. I have seen houses then, Delicate, pale, With gardens faded, gone, No nightingale. I have felt night's breath Cool on my cheek. I have walked back in mist No Words to speak. H271 LESLIE FRIEN D
