OAK LEAVES 1947 g Liigiaizwf .Sq , , W Afs fm- f f I WISH I HAD THE KEYH: I wish I had the key to a sun-baked sea shore Tucked in a drawer of a cluttered-up chest, Then, when my head got too full of things that matter, I'd lock myself in, sit on a rock and rest. The sun would be hot, and the sand would be dazzling, The sea would be whispering behind small fans of foam, The sky would be polished blue, radiating color, Looking more than ever like a glazed China dome. There, sitting on a special ledge, my feet in the water, Catching now and then the breeze that tiptoed through the rocks, I'd think ibut not too muchh about how silly vital things areg In my mind, I'd dissect them, and place them in a box. Then I'd throw the box just as far as I could throw it, And when I, with a smile, had seen it sink beneath the foam, I'd turn from the ocean, with a heart much lighter, Put my key in my pocket, and walk back home. PAULINE STRAWHECKER, '48, 'liThcse tive poems won a place this year in the National Anthology of High School Poetry. The poems with double stars also won honorable mention. Congratulations to Oak Groves English Department and its poets, Two Oak Grove girls also won similar honors last year. 7
