THE STORM All that day and the next, the hurricane raged and stormed; as though releasirl the pent up fury of a century. We had retreated to the root cellar. The hatch at the top banged and fumed, and rattled and banged. The light had been extinguished six hours ago, and all four of us huddled in the farthest, darkest recess. Once it had subsided for several minutes, we cautiously lifted the door to see what had been going on. The scene of demolition that greeted our eyes was awesome. Our automobile had been lifted against a nearby oak and now lay in several heaps. Thl tree also was destroyed. Our brick house had stood up well enough, at least the | walls,-the windows were smashed and we couldn ' t help but wonder what the shambles inside must look like. Our barn had disappeared and likewise several sheds. Now we waited miserably. After another six hours, the storm stopped. We had all fallen asleep. Suddenly my father awoke and shouted, Listen! ' 1 We woke up and sure enough, a strange silence enveloped us. We rushed to the door and scrambled out. It was dark outside, but we found our way to the house where we spent the remainder of the night. Never before had we experienced anything so drastic, and we hoped that never again would we have to. - Jean Hiebert The HIGHLIGHT staff would like to take this opportuni to express our appreciation to Peter Braun who designed on: Yearbook cover, and to Mercy Hiebert who very efficiently assisted in the typing of this Yearbook. TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LEFT TO LIVE Twenty-four hours ! Only twenty-four hours ! Time is short, but twenty-four i hours can seem like a lifetime. The verdict had been pronounced. The guilty mar had been sentenced to death within twenty-four hours-twenty-four hours in which he was to sum up his whole lifetime and then silently make his exit. Watch¬ ing him sit gloomily on the cold, hard bench of the dark, horror-filled court house, I looked back into my life. I tried to imagine that it was I who had just been con¬ demned. What would I do if I were sitting there? How would I spend my last twenty-four hours? I tried to see myself as he was - lonely forsaken and con¬ demned. As I watched him, he slowly turned his head and looked up. Catching my eye, he seemed to sense the sympathy I felt for him. His unresponsive eyes slowly gleamed with a strange and mystifying light, as if he too realized that there was no hope left for him. I felt tears on my eyelids as I hesitantly left the smoke-filled room. The feeling did not leave me. At home in my apartment, I let my mind wander over the events of the day. Sleep would not come. Again and again, I , visualized the condemned young man, sitting silently on the long bench, as. if defy¬ ing anyone who dared to come near him - I saw myself in his shoes. Twenty-four hours ! The maddening thought kept creeping up to me. I felt powerless within its grasp. Here I was - condemned, but not ready. What could I do? Oh, what could Ido? Friendless, hopeless, and forsaken as I was ! Within twenty-four hours another grave would have been dug. But is this fair? This is justice in the eyes of the public. - Martha Harder
