LA CUESTA 1930 MOON GHOST ' fReceived third place in the Bushby Poetry Contestj If I gaze upon the moon At night, at dark midnight, I will pray of it a boon Through light, its crystal light. That I may see again her face, So white, so wistful white, And hope that it may keep its place In light, in growing light. In truth, I will not let her go, Delight, my dear delight, To glide with morning's dawning glow From sight, my straining sight. But even as I gaze she fades. I light, a frenzied fight. In vain. With dawn, night's fleeing jades Turn white, a hopeless white. -Rita Herman One Hundred Forty-

LA CUESTA 1930 A SOLDIER'S REVERIE I wonder, will the lilacs bloom again When spring comes back with bursting bud and leaf ? And will the mounds, so newly made, be covered With soft, green grass to heal a nation's grief? Will shell-wrecked villages, deserted streets, Resound once more to notes of peace, content, Or will they sleep in ruined glory still, With moss and ivy by a kind God sent To ease the wound, to heal war's jagged scar? This world made desolate will soon forget The horror and the awfulness of war, The pride Eve paid-the price we're paying yet! A million hearts were broken, tears were shedg The ground ran gory with our youth's life-stream. We sacrificed our lives, we gave our all, And yet how soon 'twill be as but a dream. Men will forget, earth will go on the same No better for the sacrifice Eve made, 'Twould seem, and yet perhaps our goal was reached, Perhaps some great disaster has been stayed. Yes, lilacs will return with coming spring To fill the air with fragrance as of old, Then love will come to mend the shattered hopes. Earth will again be rich with living gold. -Berdena Baxter One Hundred 1' ty-eight
