OAK LEAVES 1945 TO MR. AND MRS. OWEN You made a school, You, who were two, and now are many. You taught us obedience and tolerance, Respect for others, Common sense. You gave us land- ' Love of the open spaces, A beautiful farm in which to play and roamg A garden with flowers to study in, come Spring. This is only the start, I could write a book, but that is not my forte. I'm only trying to say In this meagre, unable way, Thank you. Thank you for the memoriesg For a start in the future, For companions here at school, And for faith in life, in God, and in our school. Forgive us, please, the things we do That are not Worthy of the way You've taught us,- Our tempers, impatience and misunderstanding. God bless you both. BETSY ANN CARPENTER, 1945. ROSEMERE 6

' 'QE-ilvym b y g TIES THAT FREE Would the bird freed Of the earth by the easy Power of his flight Turn and rend with His sharp beak the pinions Which bear him up, In his proud liberty Craving independence Of the very things That make him free? N. S. DREAMS Drifting clouds in a sky of blue, How oft' I've watched you there, In countries near and countries far, With thoughts,-some old, some newg Thoughts of another child like me, Who?s gazing up with infinite glee To watch the patterns in the sky, And wish that she were riding high On a drifting cloud of wishes true And dreaming dreams, some old, some new.
