EXCERPTS FROM MY AUTGBIOGRAPHY lVoI. VII, ParTiIIl My eyelids opened in evenTfuI Triumph and BerT M. Wesfman received his Tirsf glimpses oT This wondrous world. My beloved parenTs looked aT me sarcas- Tically and Turned Their eyes in reverenT silence. Dad. dear arTisTic Dad, glanced aTbme and Then The hospiTaI wall, Then uTTered a curse. WhaT an awful decorafing IO . Days, monThs, years passed and I passed from one sTage To anoTher. ' Now aT The age of SM I began my schoIasTic career and my Teachers loved me so much ThaT I sTayed in each grade a couple oT Terms. iusT for The annual Halloween Parfy. Then Things goT boring. All I would do was pla marbles in The back of The room. And whaT Tunny marbles. Too. WhiTe ones, wiTl'i black doTs. From infancy I passed inTo childhood. Then having no oTher place To go, I venTured inTo boyhood. War broke ouT and I was in class 8AI, so l being a paTrioTic American. Tried To enlisT in The Army. Navy, Waves. CoasT Guard. buT I Tinally wound up ioining The Boy ScouTs. 9AI found me Toiling away af algebra. arT, composifion. English, elecTric wiring, French, and all The oTher subiecTs The person or persons who consTrucTed my program could conceive of. SUFFERING A man was pacing To and fro, ThaT was my worried Daddy. And Daddy ThoughT, The minuTes are slow. And how he wished for a laddie. A nurse came in. and said, IT's a girl. Poor daddy's head was in such a whirl, For whaT would he do wiTh The fooTbaIls and Toys, And The games he had boughT ThaT were only for boys? I-low he suffered! My life of mischief began aT one, An age wiThouT a care. I used To Think iT was such fun To pull ouT Mommy's hair. How she suffered! AT six years old I enTered school 'And There were Two Things ThaT perplexed me. One: Why There was a golden rule? Two: Was cal' or saT spelled c-a-T? I-low I suffered! When I was eighT my parenTs ThoughT IT I knew music T'would be nice, So for me a piano was boughT, I pracTiced on iT Thrice. How iT suffered! Did all my Teachers agree wiTh me? Well, mosT of Them did, yes indeed, BuT once I came home wiTh a conducT of C And Dad said A spanking, ThaT's whaT you need. , I-low I suffered! And' now ThaT l am in my Teens, I Think of my babyhood, And my Tamil ? They sTill have dreams. ThaT one of These days I'II be good. BuT. They sTill suffer! ANNETTE BERGMAN. 9AI - 64 BERT wEsTMAN, QA: A BALLAD Deep in his den was Romrnel The Fox, Sand all around his deserT box, Ne'er was There a fox as sly as he. Cozy and TighT in his VicTory. BuT on one brighT and beauTiTuI day. A blasT of The hunTing horn did sway Over The seas and To The land Of Rommel The Fox and his clever band. The dogs did bark and sTarT The chase, The hunTers did ride and sTarT The race, The horses of s+eel flew on Their way, And Rommel ran like a beasi aT bay. From EgypT To Libya he swiTTly flew. Propelled by The end of MonTgomery's shoe The dogs sTilI on Their paTh did Tly, AfTer The Fox, boTh wicked and sly. To Tunis and on pasT Sicily, The hunTers rode wiTh ioyful glee. Closing in on The clever Fox, I-IunTed ouT of his deserT box. Rommel panTing and ouT of breaTh, Facing across The barren heafh, Safely reached his desTin , Deep in The hearT of lTalIy. Buf s+iII The hunTing horn doTh sound. STilI he hears The iron hound. STill The hunTers are on The chase, Their leader racing seTs The pace. The hunT will go on ThroughouT all. Soon The Fox will quiver and Tall. I-Ie can'T escape, he can'T deTend, His evil doings broughi his end. DONALD McKYLE. 9BR
