Prairie Storm by Arlene Marshall llB It was mid-afternoon, or was it really midnight? Our car- avan of covered wagons had suddenly become engulfed by a vicious black frenzy., Heavy dark clodds hung motionless from the sky. From somewhere above, the thunder roared like the voice of an enraged giant giving orders. Followed by another sharp crack came a dren- ching downpour of icy rain whipped onward by thrashing, howling winds tearing at our only protection, the wagons. Sheets of vivid lightning lit up the lonely prairies. Stabs of lightning like gleaming swords duel- led with each other. The wagons swayed by the racing winds, gave us the sensation of being in the midst of a battle between the heavens and the earth. Suddenly the strife was over and the sun shone through to smile upon the storm battered earth. A H ll H Why? by Pat McLean XA Why is it on a starlit night, That balmy breezes blow? And waters shimmer and night grows dimmer, And the moon is a white as snow. Why is it when the moon peeps through, And love is in the air? A man just talks the whole night through, To us girls 'tis n't fair! Oh why, oh why I ask myself? Do we live in a crazy world? And the answer shyly comes to me, lt's imagination, silly girl . ll ll II

The Snow Storm by Jim McKenzie llA Brrrrrr! It'1s cold! I glanced through the frosty pane to see to my astonishment a scatter-rug of white, fluffy snow. This was supposed to be spring! The telephonels annoying buzz roused me from my reverie. It was mother calling to say that she and dad would be home that afternoon some-etime. Well, chores to do, breakfast to eat, and then more chores. Lovely morning! ' The intricate tiny feathers fluttered earthwqsrd all morning. How beautiful I thought as I gazed out of the barn door! I-Iow wet and soggy I found as I ploughed my way to the house for a homemcooked meal of canned spaghetti! Drifts fbegan to wend their course across the hid- den sideroad. The radio reported more snow and wind for the afternoon. As I set the lunch dishes among the ones from breakfast and dinner I wondered: Will they get home to:-day? I hoped so, for I would soon have to start working. That afternoon I forced my way through waves of snow to the tractor. Soon, I had the driveway clear of snow, but the road was still clogged with banks waist-1-deep. Oho! Therels a car! It was mother and dad. After some shovelling and pushing the car was safely in the garage, and we sat down to a scrumptious meal prepared by the regular cook. The snow flakes fell like feathers at a picking bee all that night until the next day at noon. No high school for me that Week! I guess even a snow storm can be useful, There once was a guy name of Paul Who had, indeed a great fall., I-Ie's not quite over it yet? But hens very upset., The doctor, he thought they should call., by .Ioan Coulter I Il Il
