THESE WALL defined our present boundaries during the temporary years. stood for something more than stone. Massive in the anxious mists of spring; magic in autumn ' s crisp and moon-colored midnights when cold and sky-etched they gleamed; dreaming in winter of the long voice and never silent voices of the years; patient and stolid in summer sweat: They endure the seasons ' frequent warp. to some were never more than walls. But- where we walked hand in hand or thought to thought or sometimes alone, the length of our varied shadows on the stone is never quite to be effaced but fixed eternal in every seam. In their acknowledgment of us, our joys, retreats, our frustrate tears, our occasional victories, the walls cast a constant mold of challenge in granite. Their mortar made a map to trace our history. changeless, faceless, changed our face. For some of us read the map; some of us saw the eaves buttress a south sky; watched the granite turn pink in afternoons; despaired of all articulation, found our tears and lusted at last to tear the blocks, the skying symbols of thought down one by one to find and devour the secret in that secret face. We lived with, loved with, learned with, and thrust with these the fortressing, waiting walls. stood for something more than stone. defined our present boundaries within the searching, finding years. — bev bosak Class of ' 56
