OAK LEAvEs 1943 ADMIRING GAZES TURN TOWARD SENIORS GATHERING FOR THEIR LAST PROCESSIONAI.. FOG Damp fog hangs like a curtain Brushing the tops of the treesg Raindrops small and uncertain Heavily laden the breeze. It lies bleak and oppressive Shrouding the silent towers, And vast shapes dim and massive Crouch in the mist for hours. J OAN PERRY, '43 MY THOUGHTS Now you're gone. Where or when you went Nobody knows-except- That you are trying to Win the war that will end all wars. Strange, when you left I did not weep My heart ached too much And I would not let you know my feelings But now that you are gone, I am left- to my thoughts. CYNTHIA RICH, '46 25

OAK LEAVES 1943 WHEN THE EAST GARDEN BECOMES THE SENIOR PROPERTY IN THE SPRING, THEY ARE ALWAYS NEAR THIS GAZING GLOBE. APPLE-BLOSSOMED HILL There is a holiness in beauty Upon the springtime sodg It blossoms on the hillside And lifts its heart to God. It stands in tender glory Alike to God's caress And slips across the hilltop In wistful lov-eliness. A. DIAMONDS Diamonds on the roof tops Diamonds on the lawn, Diamonds on the cobwebs In the fresh and early morn Diamonds left by fairies, By the goblins and the nymphs. Diamonds left to shimmer And to give the world a glimpse Of the beauty in God's heavens And the gladness in our hearts. HELEN MCALPIN, '44, 24
