OAK LEAVES 1945 ON TI-IE SIDELINES AT TI-IE RIDING COMPETITION GOING OUT IN THE RAIN There are times every ordinary month when the rain comes down all day, making the outer world look dismal if you are gazing upon the land from the inner side of a Window pane. Far too few people ever venture out in a shower, if they can possibly help it. If they are caught in one, they hasten as quickly as possible to the nearest shelter. If only they would stay out in it for a few minutes, Without worry- ing about getting wet or catching cold, they would realize the merits of it. They will get wet, but as for colds, I have been out in many a rain and haven't one yet, from that source. There are two kinds of rain, one being the summer shower. The other is the steady, rainy day, when the clouds are always at the point of breaking, but the sun can never shine through. To be out in one of these is delightful, if you are in the country. I admit that rain in the city is not pleasant. It splashes up around your legs, flinging dirt at you, and making everyone uncomfortable. However, if you are lucky enough to live in the country, you ought not to have missed such experiences. I love to walk along a country lane, bordered with green pastures, fragrant flowers, and many trees, with the rain beating on my face. It is so refreshing! You come out of the wet with new life, which the rain gives to you as well as to the flowers. JEAN HUMASON, '47. 17

OAK LEAVES 1945 The years have gone I' know not where The days were short Without a care. With a trace of a tear I must turn back. It is gone, it is gone- My childhood. TO GOD, I DID PRAY ESTELLE PARSONS, '45 Darkened clouds of War hung black o'er the land All earth seemed dismal and gray. My heart beat heavy with sad grief unconsoled, Yet, to God, I did. pray. I heard the thunder of cannon across the land Rumbling from far away, Hope seemed lost, the end .seemed Yet, to God, I did pray. near, One day through this heavy black cloud The sun shone in a gleaming ray Bringing me joy and peace once again, And, to God, I did pray. Oh God, on such a joyful day Hear me when I rejoice and pray. ,. 'V I 0' POLLY J oHNsoN, '45. 19
