ln My l-learl: joseph Greenspan In my heart . . . I am akin'd To the lonely eagle that soars in the West. In my heart . . . I am as the wind Restless, upon a hopeless quest. In my heart . . . I am as grit. In me is the grimy coarseness of it. In my heart . . . I am as the sea, Surging the shore, futilely. In my heart . . . Like the fleeting hours, I caress and destroy delicate Howers. Prairie Night HY Radin Sixteen My Love Charles Devlin You do not know it, But I love you. Perhaps you do not think I do, But I know, Because Each time I see your face I get A funny feeling Way down in my stomach, Not a pain, But A warm glow, Like the one I got When I went on the Roller-coaster! Twilight, The breeze glides over the prairie, Rustles the green grass, that bends slowly Singing its song in combined harmony. The endless blue deepens, The shining red orb sleeps below the hori- zon. Lights twinkle far apart, prairie campfires- The flames throw eerie shadows wherein stand men of the sodg Telling tales of distant homes, fields of gol- den grain. The blackness gathers, the men repose, The fire Hames wane, spreads a feeble glow In the darkness, extended around Heaven and earth are one. Night's nature conquers

H POETS' CORNER Truckman Come on, boys-plane the crate up! Let your muscles lump up Under arms and shoulders, Stteaked with grease and dirtll' Ugh! shove her ing Darng it's a job to snap a fellow's limb. A heaving fit for three men To keep that crate from tippin'. Leaped atop the truck, Sitting on the rim, smoking a butt And telling a tale of pugs While the fellows listen in. Giddap you dray plug! Pull faster, you mug,'! There's another job a block ahead, Before you get there we'll all be dead. Hit up! H y Radin o Two Poets He said My notes in minor strain Their meed of glory bring. But oh! to break this solemn chain And make the laughter ring. Another, dreary, bowed with care, Had jested through the years. Alas! he sighed, that I have ne'er In life moved men to tears.

TRACK TRACK has been for the last eight years the traditional sport at New Utrecht High School. Track will con- tinue to be New Ut- recht's tradition so long as Barney Hyman can continue to put out teams of such excellent calibre as he has done hitherto. 'S S fa: I K wt, gm f At this writing the P. S. A. L. indoor championship meet is' fast approaching. Green and White team has been seen on only one occasion this season, in full strength. In the Stuyvesant games, they amassed twenty-six points to easily annex tirst place. Herewith is the team on which Utrecht's hopes are placed. First and foremost is shot put, an event which has always found New Utrecht supreme. There is not much dang- er of that supremacy passing into other hands for the next two years. Willie Wohle is the standard bearer in this department and the job could not be placed in more capable hands. Wohle has heaved the iron ball past the fifty foot mark, and is capable of doing better. He is followed by Icove, Uchitel and Simon, all capable of placing in any meet. In the sprint events, a new find has come to the fore in the person of Virgil Guglielmelli. He has been literally burning up the boards in practice, and bears consid- erable watching. Harry Walfish and Whitey Rosenthal are the other entries in the hun- dred. The 220 and sprint relay teams will be :omposed of five veteran trackmen, namely: Max Kerner, Max Streisand, Foster Cnzew- ski, Max Lipshitz and Dave Altman. The 300 yard event is also well supplied with talent. Joe Greenspan is due for some fine performances here, if the results of the practice sessions are any criterion. Sam Si- mon, Herb Wolfert, Carmine Pinta and Ronin, also lend their valuable services to this race. Jack Wolfe, the former Bay Ridge Evening star, is at last eligible for P. S. A. L. competition in the quarter mile, and will do his best to prove his worth. Radin, Bloom and Marcus are invaluable to the Green and White team in this phase of track competition. A flock of cross-country men will garner New Utrecht's points in the 880 and the mile run. Foremost among this group may be found Capt. Perry Rosenberg, George de George, Ira Mendelsohn and Sam Sklar. New Utrecht has two line entries in the high jump, in the persons of Sam Simon and Legs Rosenberg, who bid fair to reach marks over six feet in their event. Incidentally, the recent K of C track meet at the Garden found New Utrecht well rep- resented in the persons of some of the fore- most alumni of the Bensonhurst school. Phil Merriam competed in and won the thous- and yard run. Sol Furth, Ira Singer and Bernie Krosney gave a good account of themselves in the sprint series. Seventeen
