Being a senior, lt ls only natural that I'm starting to think about the future, and trying to decide or discover my vocation in later life. There are many paths that! might take, and before I graduate I'll probably have an idea of what I should do, but there's one thing I am sure of and that is that whatever I do my Constitution will be there, protecting me. I may get married and raise a family: I may attempt a career, I may give mY life to God by helping His child- ren. If I do get married, my Constitution won't force me to marry someone chosen by the State, if I decide to undertake a career I'll be able to choose one that I like and will do best in, and not one which the State picks for me, if I want to enter a convent, I can go there freely. It makes no difference which way I follow through life, for the Constitution guides and protects everyone. We can always be ure, as long as we have our Consti- tution. that we'll have our rights as God gave them to us, to help guide us to our goal. For this essay senior Ann De Mars won first prize in the Kalamazoo Realtors' Contest. I25.00. ELEGY IN THE RAIN The summer shower came Like a curtain Drawn slowly around the earth And closed. It grew--- This shower--- Into a racking storm And while it grew I thought--- A passing th ought Of those I knew. Without a reason, I thought of him--- The lightning came In bolts, like slashing sabers That sever even thoughts. And with the lightning Came a call. Ordinary--but unexpected-- Then thunder rolled And filled the room That couldn 't cover those piercing words, 'He 's dead. It ended then That storm And in its place came the steady rain Of tears. Ann Della rs WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS T0 ME Loretta Portugal! also a senior was awarded a 310.00 third prize in the contest. My knowledge of the Constitution of the United States has been very vague up to this present year. Though I knew that by it I could live as a citizen. I now know of the many more and involved privileges that I not only have, but my fellow-men of any color, race or creed can hold as an American citizen. Our Constitution begins with the very appropriate Preamble. In it is set forth the six reasons for forming such a Constitution. In brief lt was intended to form a more perfect union than that which existed under the Articles of Confederation, to insure peace and prosperity for all people. Through the Constitution our government is so organ- ized tbat it consists of the Legislative, Executive and judicial Departments in which the president, cabinet, congress, and other members and organizations act in our behalf. By which we are guaranteed our Life-Liberty- and Persult of Happiness. Included are the ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights. These provide for freedom of religion, press, speech and among other things which insure us with ex- tended liberties and justice. The Thirteenth amendment abolished slavery. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth solved problens caused by its abolition. And on down to the Nineteenth Amendment in which every good christian woman should vote. God inspired man with the sense of truth and the rights human beings should have as His creatures. So great was this determination that our forefathers saw flt' to fight and even die for such a strong belief. The Constitution of the United States is a wonderful document and I pray to God that as I grow old, I may al- ways respect, obey, and serve my country under the laws of this Constitution. Senior Charlene Eshelfnan and sophomore Mary Louise Shear were given honorable nlention and 35.00 in the contest. i U h THE LADY AND THE TIGER In this famous story, by Frank Stockton, there is no ending. An enterprising eighth grader remedied that fact for those who like happy endings. QAnd who doe sn'tJ Here is her version: fAt this point in the story the condemned yossg lover is about to choose between two doors. Be- hind one is a beautiful lady, behind tbe other. a ferocious tigerl. The princess wanted to marry hiss sonscb. that she slipped out and over to the place where the lady was fthe right hand doorl without being noticed. She changed places with the lady, and when he opened the door, she cante oat, and they were slarried and lived happily ever after. Joyce Rowgo
