MRS. VIOLET DORMODY CAROL GASTON SPECIAL GOODBYE DOUG MAC DONALD NATURES ' STORY Among the trees, not a sound can be heard No sweet , gentle song of any small bird. No longer the deer will drink by the spring Or play with their young, or enjoy anything. No life shall start in this forest, my friend, For it ' s been destroyed in a fiery end. And if we don ' t learn from OUR past mistakes, Many more lives, fire will take. No flowers shall bloom, or grow anymore, For fire has knocked on natures ' front door. The trees are all black, burnt from bottom to top, And from this we must learn, it ' s a warning to stop. —A. Burke— (Grade 7) LOVE Love is a funny thing IT comes and goes It brings pain . . . and happiness It leaves you tired and depressed Or with lighthearted joy It robs you of your appetite and sleep. Yet it gives you something to live for Love is beautiful Yet it can separate families Make enemies out of friends Turn itself into hatred And kill. It comes quickly And leaves quickly Or it comes slowly And stays Suddenly it ' s there You can ' t do anything about it Whether you want it or not It can be between a man and a woman Or two brothers A mother and her children Or a kid and his dog You ' re never too old— or too young To love It happens to everyone No one is safe from its Terrible Wonderful Beautiful Painful Grasp. J. Frankenthal (Grade 8) PRESSURE Books, Pens, Pencils, All a part of the stairway, If you use them, then you will climb, If not, then you take your chances . . . Parents have a monotonous drone about them. Do your homework, Study. It ' s all for your own good. Sometimes I wonder if it ' s ME they want to succeed or their son. Do we really have it so much better than they did or is it just another line in this continuing play? One day we ' ll grow up and understand. We ' ll be the principal actors, we ' l know what it ' s all about, but until then . . . You decide what you really want. — SRM— (Grade 11) A WISH Open your eyes and see my face, see my eyes looking back into yours feel transparent let our souls unite. M. Kraft (Grade 12) UNTITLED When I was young I thought I was smart. Sometimes getting my way and sometimes not. Arguing with my parents For what I thought Was my cause, Be it great or small. As I grow I sometimes feel I know They are right Even though it hurts to admit so. D. Reichman (Grade 11) A WISH Open your eyes and see my face, see my eyes looking back into yours feel transparent let our souls unite. M.

As I grow I sometimes feel I know They are right Even though it hurts to admit so. D. Reichman (Grade 11) I WON ' T FORGET, NORTH SHORE! I enjoyed my stay at this school very much. I learned a lot just by coming here and by getting to know the American way of life. I will remember this stay, because it showed me new dimensions of myself, as well as of the world around me. A big thank you to all those teachers and students who helped me to overcome some of the difficulties as a foreigner. And to my friends: I will miss you! Tschuss mitenand! (Bye, Bye!) Muriel Achermann (from Switzerland) New feet within my garden go, New fingers stir the sod; A troubadour upon the elm Betrays the solitude. New children play upon the green New weary sleep below; And still the pensive spring returns And still the punctual snow! Emily Dickinson For all those who know some German: One of the most famous German poems and also my favorite: Schlaft ein Lied in alien Dingen, die da traumen fort und fort und die Welt hebt an zu singen triffet Du nurdas Zauberword. MURIEL ACHERMANN If I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me? For I must be travelling on now, ' cause there ' s too many places I ' ve got to see. — Lynyrd Skynyrd PAMELA JOHNSON ' Cause I ' m as free as a bird now, and this bird you ' ll never change. And this bird you cannot change. —Lynyrd Skynyrd Fly silly seabird No dreams can possess you No voices can blame you For sun on your wings My gentle relations Have names they must call me For loving the freedom Of all flying things My dreams like the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry . . . Joni It ' s astounding, time is fleeting madness takes its toll. So listen closely (not for very much longer) I ' ve got to keep control. I remember doing the Time Warp! (Kick Kick) Treating those days when, the blackness would hit me (and a voice would be calling) LET ' S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN! ! !. . . And the Lord heard the man and said, About thy shirts Yes, Lord, the man said, falling to his knees. But an alligator over the pocket. Pardon me, Lord? Just do what I ' m telling you. You won ' t be sorry. Woody Allen ELLEN BELCHER That isn ' t in the way I act, that will carry through the years intact I ' m lookin ' forward to lookin ' back, from further on down the track Together in fact, forever my love . . .

That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how. Henry Ward Beecher If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know. Thomas Wolfe A true friend is someone who can make us do what we can. Ralph Waldo Emerson With things as bad as they are, I wish someone would do something about it, then I remembered I ' m someone . . .

The Beatles For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed says the Lord who has compassion on you.

Neil Young CATHY KLEIMAN You can ' t go back and you can ' t hold still If the thunder don ' t get you then the lightning will. R. Hunter Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. Thoreau We might be laughing a bit too loud but that never hurt no one. May this day Show me an ocean I ought to be on my way JT Billy Joel Lighten up if you still can And don ' t try and understand Just find a place to make your stand And take it easy. Eagles J A Y R A F F A L D I N I A, Sunshine warm upon my brow. The leaves fall quietly to the ground. My heart re-echos the babbling stream, keeping rhythm with the birds ' faint cry. Why does man have to destroy? Why does man have to pollute? Why can ' t nature be free to be? Why don ' t people let me be me? The day when the birds sing their last song, When the creeks don ' t babble but sludge along. When the insects don ' t buzz and the land isn ' t free, that ' s when I don ' t want to be me. Smokies solo DIABETES: It was a good play. All it needed was an ending. HEPATITUS: But what did it mean? DIABETES: Nothing . . . just nothing . . . HEPATITUS: What? ■ DIABETES: Meaningless. It ' s empty. HEPATITUS: The ending. DIABETES: Of course. What are we discussing? We ' re discussing the ending. HEPATITUS: We ' re always discussing the ending. DIABETES: Because it ' s hopeless. HEPATITUS: I admit it ' s unsatisfying. DIABETES: Unsatisfying? It ' s not even believable. The trick is to start at the ending when you write a play. Get a good strong ending, and then write backwards. HEPATITUS: I ' ve tried that. I got a play with no beginning. DIABETES: That ' s absurd. HEPATITUS: Absurd? Wh at ' s absurd? (BLACKOUT) WOODY ALLEN DEAN VAN DE MOTTER TED C. REIHMER Do not model yourself on the behavior of the world around you, out let your behavior change, modeled by your new mind. ROMANS 12:2 Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily. Schiller A ton of talk weighs less than nothing if it isn ' t backed by ac- tion. Theodore Roosevelt love sought is good, but given unsought is better. Shakespeare Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness. Bronte If I didn ' t do something mad once in a while I ' d go crazy.

You don ' t need to choose. The heart already knows. William Faulkner Being alone is a heaven in its own; A time to search my soul And think my thoughts. CMW CRICKET WOOD Here ' s to you, And here ' s to me. And if by chance we disagree, To hell with you, And here ' s to me! KAF CMW a total stranger one black day knocked living the hell out of me — who forgiveness hard because my (as it happened) self he was —but now that fiend and I are such immortal friends the other ' s each e e cummings Welcome my friends, welcome to the machine. Pink Floyd C ' est la vie! To know man is to know God. To know God is to know man. To study the universe is to learn both God and man; for the universe is the expression of Devine Thought and the universe is mirrored in man. Knowledge is necessary if the SELF would become free and know Itself as Itself. Annie Besant Love the one you ' re with.

John Hartford Morning songbird, sing away Lend a tune to another day Bring your wings and choose a roof Sing a song of love and truth. Cat Stevens That ' s the first normal thing I ' ve said in weeks. The rest of the time I ' m feining twentieth-century lunacy just like you are. So as not to draw attention to myself. Robert M. Persig The lunatic is carried at last to the asylum a confirmed case, he will never sleep anymore as he did in the cot in his mother ' s bedroom. Walt Whitman Press the soft blossoms against your cheek, and finger their graces of form, their delicate mutability of shape, their pliancy and freshness . . . How can the world be shriveled when this most profound, emotional sense, touch, is faithful to its service? I am sure that if a fairy bade me to choose between the sense of sight and that of touch, I would not part with the warm, endearing contact of human hands or the wealth of form, the nobility and fullness that press into my palms. Helen Keller ANDREW H. MACLEOD Well Liz ... it ' s you and me against the world . . . Personally I think we ' re gonna get creamed! ! ! SARAH BLACKWELL Hold onto a true friend with both arms. GO FOR IT! A friend is a present that you give yourself. If I had my life to live over, I would relax more. I wouldn ' t take so m any things so seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains, and swim more rivers . . . NEXTIME I ' d start barefooted earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I wouldn ' t make good grades unless I enjoyed working for them. I ' d go to more dances. I ' d ride on more merry-go-rounds. I ' d pick more daisies. Anonymous GWYNNE SIGEL ■ ■ . ■ ■ -,; Encouraged by birth, Discouraged by death. Laughing with mirth Underneath one ' s breath. Overjoyed in careless ways. Dreams made of endless days. Oh hidden trutlr, lost youth, Where are you headed With the knowledge That has been imbedded. Encouraged by freedom, Discouraged by humanity, Lost in a kingdom Of limited dignity. You come so close to losing it, Only to return to using it. Compelled by desire, Greed, hunger, and fire. Hey! I got an idea.

As gloomy night invades the storied tower The spirit droops in melancholy ' s power. Stand where. the steps are bright as jade — how fast The birds fly over hastening back to roost!
