'Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you l1lllSt run twice as fast . . .' So it is with the year book. livery year it runs a race with its former self to get somewhere else . liach year, as it goes to press, its editor, faculty adviser, and editorial board find themselves in Alice's predicament - breath- less and propped up against the tree trunk of their achievement. Because their race has never been in vain, and because, inevitably, they produce a liner book than they thought possible, I welcome this opportunity to con- gratulate them and to express my appreciation of their work which has been tireless, sincere, and effective. The year book has always been worthy of winning its race, and over the years that I've known it, it has become its own best test of the ability, originality, good breeding, and good taste, not only of its staff but also of its contributors. . Above all, it has been a source of very real satisfaction to me to feel that it has been increasingly illustrative of the hne spirit of this school expressed through ideas, in words, and by pictures- that spirit which I feel is the very essence of Oxl'ord's life, the inner substance of the school's right to exist. May this spirit guide the students of Oxford School in all of their personal and social relationships. May it point the way toward finer and clearer thinking and, in particular, may it give direction to those who will edit the Uxfordian in the years to come. E1.1zAincTH M. FITCH J' 5 .3 It is only just as we go to press that news of the resignation of Miss Fitch as Headnzistress of Oxford School has been received. The Class of 1948 wishes to express to her its appreciation for her guidance in dijicult problems, and her example that only through perseruerence, diligent application, and sin- cerity can we attain our ideals. Aftore than that, however, we wish to show our deep gratitude for the friendship, patience, and understanding which she has always given to us. Miss Fitch's good judgment has brought us through many crises, and it is with regret and true affection that we say goodbye lo her at the end of this, our last your at Oxford. For the school, and for ourselves, we extend to her all good wishes for success in her new position as Headnzistrcss of Miss Hall's School in Piltshcld. EDITORIAL ' ' HROUCHOUT our years at Oxford, most of us have felt a certain pride in being Oxford Girls. Perhaps during Carol Service at Christ- .f I lit, mas, or on Class Night or Commencement, or perhaps merely when someone asked what school you went to, and upon hearing the name Oxford said, Oh yes, I know Oxford, perhaps at one of these moments a tingle of pride went through you. Have you ever thought, however, what it is about Oxford that elicits such a feeling of pride? Have you ever wondered whether the pride is justified, or have you ever wondered what justihes this pride? This pride, we think, is justified, for here we learn not only to respect the wisdom of our faculty and to learn from them, but we grow to see them as comrades working, learning, and often playing with us in one community, our school. Unfortunately, however, a rift sometimes comes in this affinity between faculty and students, for we Oxford students are too easily diverted from our search for the attainment of our ideals. Matthew Arnold, in an essay about another Oxford, once said, No, we are all seekers still! Seekers often make mistakes, and I wish mine to redound to my own discredit only, and not to touch Oxford. For, you see, the fault - if there be a fault - that the pride in Oxford cannot be greater lies not in the school, but in ourselves. Here we betray only our own characters and abilities. XVhat do we lack that the other Oxford has? lingland's Oxford is not perfect any more than is ours, but it is composed of seekers after perfection and pursuers of great ideals. That quality, that of the seekers, we need as a school. There are individuals who have possessed this spirit inuatelyg it is always they who have done most for Oxford, meant most to her, and received most from her. This spirit is not, some erroneously believe, what we call school spirit, it is not a slogan of For God, for Country, and for Yale. It is some- thing more profound and more essential. The former often leads to snmgness, the latter never does. There are, in any group, those ideas which are uni- versal, and others wl1icl1 are particular to individuals, but it is not for us to dictate what they should be. Usually it is not the type of ideal, but the atti- tude by which we strive to attain it, that needs discipline. Only in true humil- ity can we ever become seekers, and only in love and, therefore, understanding of others. ln this new attitude of true humility, love, and understanding, the seeker will have started on the way leading toward Good, Beauty, Perfection, Knowledge, and Truth. These seekers will often make mistakes, but now in a different way, for their experience will make them wise. A7 wr WVU 'Q fre. 9 mf 5 . V, .6 wt' .,,,, s 1 ggi!

We appoint our beloved faculty, or those of them who are able to survive us, to be the executors of this our Will, and no bond, except one of friendship, shall be required of them. 2. We desire and direct that all our faults, failures, and short-comings be deemed to be satisfied out of the extremely rich heritage which we bequeath to our successors. 3. Therefore, with relief, I: Carolyn Black, gladly leave my nightmares of brooms, littered gym floors and spilled coke. Elizabeth Brainard, leave six years of Oxford to my little sister. Sydney Brucker, leave the largest hands in the class to anyone who wants them. Marylee Burt, leave Mr. Griswold in peace! Selah. Cordelia Creamer, leave the goalie-cage to Miss Jarrell. Lucy Davis, leave my going home for lunch to Molly. Marcia Gamerdinger, leave without my extra five pounds. Barbara Godard, leave my loafers to Miss Fitch. Barbara Hall, leave what's left. V Betty Lee Harrington, leave my fits of laughter in the Library to anyone who has the courage to take over. Elisabeth Hart, take it all with me. Polly Ann Hunter, leave hurriedly in the Estate Wagon . Adrienne Kennedy, leave the 8 o'clock bus to the Hickory Lane Gang. Barbara Kopplemann, leave my infamous laugh to haunt the hallowed halls. Mary Lee McCallum, leave the door of the Senior Lounge to the Junior Class - if they can find it! Bette McDonough, take the first boat for Rio and leave a blonde to finish my struggle with hygiene. Beverly Perkins, leave the Lower School to the next public-spirited senior. Joyce Pickering, leave my inability to arrive on time Monday mornings, after driving to the 8: 12 train. Carolyn Short, leave my knitting for some ambitious soul to finish. Mary Anne Sloate, leave my sister to Oxford's mercy. Carolyn Sterns, leave the letters I forgot to mail. Elizabeth Wells, leave. Virginia IfVoods, leave the extra desserts - regretfully. 4. We direct our executors to take all necessary steps, and for this pur- pose to employ such doctors, professors, or other skilled persons, as they in their sole discretion may think proper to determine that we are in fact dead ducks, and not in any other state having the semblance of death, in order to avoid all risk of our being buried alive. IN WITNESS YVHEREOF, we have hereunto subscribed our corporate name to this Our Last Will and Testament at Hartford, Connecticut, on the Ides of March, A.D. 1948.

AS WE GO OUT MARY LEE MCCALLUM, Class XII As we march down the aisle to receive our diplomas, just what will you be thinking about? Will you contemplate the day when you, too, will be follow- ing the same path? Or will you sense the sadness of the occasion, the leaving behind of many of the friendships and associations which have become such an important part of our lives? Or perhaps you will wonder what the future will bring to us as we leave one phase of our lives and enter another. Still others of you will have watched us grow. You will remember our Freshman year - the brief but exuberant period of deviltry which culminated in a tea held by the Board of Proctors for the elite. Yet gradually we have become adjusted to the new freedom and added responsibility of high school. Our class has undergone a metamorphosis. Gone are our sporting days when we dashed out to lunch, carrying our hockey sticks which had been hidden under the table, so as not to lose any precious moments. Now look at usl We are most often found last in the dining hall. We have come to realize, however, the value of good sportsman- ship and the need of working not as individuals but as a team. As Freshmen our interests were limited. Through the stimulus of classes and assemblies, We now have learned to enjoy and to appreciate literature, art, history, and science. Our world, then, was rather narrow, gradually we have begun to think in broader terms of the whole world. Discussions about Russia, the United Nations, and current books are frequent. The war, cer- tainly, brought world events much closer to us. We have become conscious of unsettled conditions of the age. Most important of all we are finally aware of our personal responsibility. Since we came in, this development has not been easyg it has been a gradual process. Yet I feel that as we go out we are better prepared by all these things to face the future. MILL RIVER CORDELIA CREAMER, Class XII I do not remember clearly whether Mill River had a mill. I hope not. Any suggestion of a person having been there and built something would have immediately detracted from its atmosphere. To wholly refute its name I should never have applied river to it at all. The motion, energy, vitality, and industry of a river do not belong to this picture of complete serenity. Seal Cove possessed its opening, noticeable only after a very close inspec- tion of the land. From a distance there was nothing, no hint of this un- earthly place. God had posted nature to keep humanity out, but somehow, as is always the case, we overcame the natural protection and barged through. This time it was different, and the feeling inside the first intruder must have been much the same as mine as I felt physically helpless, spiritually empowered by this awe-inspiring natural paradise. There was no sound, no movement of any sort Qand yet it was not stag- nantj, no revelation of a human hand. As we slipped quietly through the passage, Mill River wound sharply to the left and opened up before us in all its pure glory much as a peacock spreads his tail in proverbial vanity. Small islets sprinkled the placid pool, their banks melting languidly into the limpid water. Verdant greens were not here, instead the prominence in coloring was a light tan hay color plainly non-fertile, discouraging life of any kind. God did not intend for us to land and walk on this habitation of His as the underbrush was wild, matted, and thorny. Where there was no water or land there were rocks, not ordinary, cumber- some jagged rocks, these had an air of lightness and beauty. As they mir- rored the sunlight their aspect was one of purest gold which would have totally convinced the alchemist that here was the king of all metals in its suitable, radiant surroundings, smoothed and polished by a Master-crafts- man. The water itself was as clean and pure as a trout stream, reflecting the sparkling diamond-like stones below. We tried sailing our little dinghy, which would have moved even with the breath of a hummingbird, but it lay motionless and forlorn on the still water. God's haven was not to be dis- turbed by our earthly whims to sail. No, this was not a place for doing, it was a state for feeling. Its beauty cannot be captured with words, paints, or notes. Nothing but the evaluation of a human soul laid bare for its penetration could paint Mill River Haw- lessly. It will inspire one to try, it did me, and the attempt brought a closer realization of thc intangible greatness and simplicity of Mill River. I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD MARYLEE BURT, Class XII Have you ever climbed to the hill-top, Where all is hard, and bare, and desolate? Here, you think, I am alone but not lonely. Then across a bleak gray shell, the sky, Drifts a lone cloud, aimlessly, endlessly. No longer alone, loneliness overwhelms me, For like the cloud, I am apart from my driving world, Drifting, aimlessly, endlessly. BLUEBERRY PICKING MARY LEE MCCALLUM, Class XII 'We're going to pick blueberries. C'mon'. And then I'd join the laughing carefree troop Of clanking pails. You'd think the blueberries In all the world would not half fill our pails. Excited shouts, 'Oh everyone come here . . The biggest, sweetest berries anywhere' Are blended with the pelting of blue showers Which fall into our pails like drops of hail. A careless foot or arm might knock the berries, Then earth would have a carpet of royal blue. But, oh, what grief at such a loss as this! We'd gently lift each berry, one by one. And now when I grow tired of city life I dream of times when I went berrying. A DAY IN THE NETHERLANDS: SAILING SYDNEY BRUCKER, Class XII Rain, another day of rain, I thought, we probably won't go sailing. I lay warm in my bed, my head propped up on a pillow, looking at the damp white curtain swaying limply over the door to the balcony. Someone knocked on the door, Sy-dee, time to get up. Yes, I rolled over, so, we were going sailing. I thought of all the warm clothes I should wear. When I went into the dining room I discovered that Tom, my brother, and Hans, our host, had already left on the tandem. They were riding fifteen miles in the rain! Florence and I ate a breakfast of tea, bread and cheese, jam and chocolate. Florence's mother sat making our lunch, warning Flor- ence, as she often did, not to let Tom and me get tired. I had to tell her over and over that we were all right, that we'd been there four days, and it was all so new. I took our dishes into the kitchen where the charwoman, very plump in all her skirts, was on her knees scrubbing the floor. Over yards of dark blue cotton skirts she wore a light blue apron. Half way down the back was a band of material from one side to the other where she hung her brushes and rags . . . they were always with her! She turned at my entrance, bowed, and beamed a toothless smile. I bowed and smiled and said, Good morning in English. She clucked some greeting in Dutch. After a trolley ride to the station, we got into a crowded electric train and flew along, standing between the cars from the Hague to Leiden, a city about twenty minutes distance from the Hague. There we waited a long time in the rain for a bus. Then we rode to the outskirts of Leiden to a small town on the Kaag where we were going to sail. Hans and Tom, wet and bedraggled, were already at the boat yard, in spite of a flat tire on the way in an already many-patched tire. Fortunately the boat was large enough to have a cabin, protection from the rain. We sailed oif with the wind, down a broad canal. The Kaag is called a lake, but it is more like a series of winding canals, some wide, others tiny. The boys took turns sailing all morning and the other three of us stayed dry in the cabin. About noon it become so stulfy there we decided to go out and freeze. After a lunch of thick cheese sandwiches and raisin buns, we went inside again. The rain slowed up: we became warmer. I thought we were going further and further away from where we started, but evidently Hans knew where he was going, and in the maze of canals we made a circle. There were many sailboats out in spite of the rain. Often we saw a scene typical of this region. This section was such a mass of canals that, looking over the pastures from one canal, you see nothing but land. However, on a Windy Saturday or Sunday when many boats are out sailing, it is a strange sight to look from one canal over the land and see several layers of sails moving along apparently through pastures. The canals are like roads and are roads. We sailed through farmyards, past the door fronts of small thatched-roofed red brick farmhouses. Everywhere ducks and other water fowl were swimming. Once, for about a half a mile, we sailed right along with a man riding a bicycle on a gravel road next to the canal. At four, when it began to pour again we lowered the sails, moored the boat, and went into a small cafe for tea. The Literary Board wishes to give special mention to the story Jenny and the Mouse, by Carol Hanson, Class XI, which it unanimously accepted for publication, but which, because of its length and our limited space, the editors were unable to include in these pages. ODYSSEUSS PRAYER TO POSEIDODI ANNE CARTER PECK, Class IX O thou great Poseidon, ruler of the wine-dark deep, give ear unto my prayer. Ten long years did I fight at Troy, and ten more years have I wandered. Ten years have you sent storms and winds to keep me from my home, to destroy my men. Great is the pain in my heart from its longing. Forget your anger, and I shall offer great sacrifices to you. Hinder me no more, and let me return to my home. This I beg of Thee, O Poseidon, in the name of Zeus. THESTORM' JEAN FELTY, Class XI The rain had not ceased its tremor through the night, neither had the keen crashes of thunder nor unexpected lightning. The howling wind pierced every knothole and crack of the lantern-lit shed, first issuing orders to a driving mist, then whipping leaves off blurred branches. It forced its knotty fingers under loose shingles and fought their rusty nails. A knothole sent out the only lantern light which dared shine into the darkness. It burned a hole in the sheet of rain. The stable door creaked, then slammed with the wind as I entered the building. The lantern swung from the rafters with the easterly wind which found its way through the thread-thin cracks. The bay nickered at my foot- steps, and opening the wooden latch of his stall, I entered and gave him a friendly pat. His warm nostrils felt good in my hand, and I rubbed my face along, his warm soft neck. You've had some sugar today, old boy - no more now. His eyes followed my figure as I shut his stall door. just then I heard a gust of rain spatter the roof which contrasted to the slow dripping of a leak in the corner of the stables. Across from the stalls I saw the saddles, their shiny leather saturated with saddle soap and oil, their silver stirrups glinting in the dim lantern light. Arranged on pegs there were five of them, three for riding astride, one side saddle, and a tiny pony saddle which seemed immature compared to the rest. A board squeaked where I stepped and out in the mist I could hear a branch split. My body trembled. Near the fourth stall which was more deeply flooded with light than the others were three sweat-laden figures mumbling in uncertain tones. I approached in serious silence, my paces smaller than usual, cautious. There was a little Shetland pony gasping death- like breaths of air. Then I perceived another figure, a child, its cheeks flushed rosy with excitement and apprehension, its hand caressing the soft hide of the pony. The lantern splashed light on the yellow hair which sprayed the pony's neck. The lantern clanged like a death bell, and something hard hit the build- ing. I jerked my head around, blocked my ears, and concentrated on a knot in the far side of the stable. The silence seemed like a tunnel with no end. Then a gust of wind made the stirrups of the tiny saddle ring. The child's head roseg light entered its sallow eyes and flushed cheeks. Its pink hands rubbed its eyes as if awakening from a terrible nightmare. The three figures gasped a tense breath of relief. A soft-skinned creature hardly bigger than a puppy lay next to the pony. It wanted protection and food - warm food. It tried and tried again to find it, its body gathering more strength each time. Food - at last! there it was, warm foodl The three figures each reached into their dusty pockets for handkerchiefs and wiped their dampened foreheads. I left the building. The wind combed the hair of the marshland and with its swirling strength gathered a swampy scent. The trees bent low to smell it, and the courageous light of a star fought its way through the fog. It shone for a moment, clear, bright, undisturbed - then proud of its glory, fell asleep again among the clouds. Then a dim light shone in the east! Dawn! The storm had ceased! NEW ENGLAND HURRICANE ELIZABETH BRAINARD, Class XII Death is riding in the wind. Cold, gray waves clawing, grinding on the sand, Swallowing the beach like a hungry animal. Foaming lingers reach toward a thin, young sapling, Icy mouths suck the sandy earth from its roots. The wind is a screeching, howling monster Whipping the waves higher, hurling them forward. Swirling, gray water surrounds the tree. ' It twists helplessly, its streaming branches bent, Then savage waves seize it, and soundlessly, swiftly, Strain it backward. For a moment it struggles, Then savage waves seize it, and soundlessly, swiftly, It whirls off into the waiting darkness. TWO POEMS SYDNEY BRUCKER, Class XII I Two gulls cry in the blue mist. No one hears. No one wants to listen. They circle down, pearl, escaping in the gray fog. They call to follow - a sudden gust, and off. Spray bounces off washed rocks and splashes yellow pebbles. Again and again no voice cries loud enough for the sea to hear. II A drawbridge painted scarlet, a castle in a moat solid stone, fat gray. Within the gates roses in black weedless dirt trained on arbors grow, And, outside, weak sun makes rolling hills pale green - embroidered in a tapestry WWNTER TWULIGHT MARCIA BOURN, Class XI The sun, a mammoth golden coin, slipped down Into the vast black pocket of tomorrow. Trees raised their naked branches, like wrought iron Against a stained glass sky, until the wind Rose from a distant rumble in night's throat To demon fury, breaking their design. The river was enameled with pale tints Of fading sunset, and the ragged hills Gnawed hungrily at heaven's boundaries. Then lights, like silver grain sown by the night, Appeared within the town and that frail brooch, The moon, rose lone and lovely in the cast. DESOLATION ELIZABETH JONES, Class XI Her numb hand fumbled in the confusion of her pocket. At last it struck the object of its search - the cold yet promising key. How good it would be to get in where she could rest and get warm. She was so cold, and so tired. Putting her pile of books down on the step, she stretched her stiff arms and in a burst of haste felt in the darkness for the evasive lock, shoved in the key, turned it, and leaned against the heavy, paneled door. HOME! A warmth spread over her as she dropped the key into the catch-all pocket, grabbed her books, and closed the door. She halted as a queer feeling came over her, something was wrong, the house was cold, uninviting. There was something missing. True, she could now be warm, she could sit, and - but no, that was it- she couldn't relax, she couldn't sit still, she was uneasy. Something had happened. As if to re- assure herself, she snapped on the library light and sat down, trying to read. The wind whined in the trees outside the window-or was it the wind? Putting the book aside, she listened intently as the sound was repeated. She was sure now that the sound came from inside the house-over in the kitchen wing. Frightened, yet curious, she went to investigate. She was halted by the kitchen door, closed as it never was, and when she tried the handle-locked! Such a thing just didn't happen. The whine persisted, accompanied by a slight whimpering which sounded like - but it couldn't be-but - it did sound like a puppy. In answer to her call, a weak bark confirmed her suspicions. It was then that she knew, knew without a doubt. Everything was clear now. That once strange, empty feeling at the pit of her stomach rose to her throat and eyes, choking her with sobs. How could they? Didn't they know this whinning beast could never take the place of her beloved King ? DOES ' HE KNOW? POLLY HUNTER, Class XII He once was a puppy, with acts that befitted a puppyg He prided in speed, and a ready, joyous bark. In youth, with typical splendid, thoughtless well-being He overlooked the world with tolerant disdain. His face is now white and scarred, his ear is bentg On calloused, weary pads, he restless treads. Some urge, -forever searching, listening, Expressed by deep and tantalizing eyes That do not tell how deeply delves his mind Into the vast significance of life. Does he know the consequence of age, And fear, or wait with patient confidence? He knows, for in his close kinship to man There's something more than we can understand. PARATROOPER CORDELIA CREAM!-:R, Class XII Rocked in the gentle arms of the air Under a sacred vault of white Offspring of space, born to light Slowly descends to a dread-filled lair. A foundling, laid at the door of fate The motherly hand ripped sharply away The vault of support in crumpled array He lives in the eyes of invisible hate. Blinded with fright, by death's glare restored He rises alone matured by his fear Searching his safety so far yet so near Forsaken by all and cruelly ignored. Dare we take our life from this air Whose children we burn in our greed-bound Hare? POEM EUZABETH WEI.1.s, Class XII My father is a surgeon: no dawdler he With pills and ointments. He is a man of silent, swift decision Courageous and kind. Other men praise other ways. Some like A dietg some exercise, Vitamin, or drugg all heal Or bring improvement. With searching intelligent fingers H-e finds the ache, Goes beyond it, comes back Into the heartland of pain. He is the poet, who with trenchant phrase Sums of the meaning by others in volumes buried. I BELIEVE THAT FAITH IS NECESSARY TO MAN MARCIA BOURN, Class XI I In the vast expanse of limitless time and space in which the countless systems are whirling, only we humans and our immediate world are limited. We cannot conceive or comprehend anything infinite, because all within our realm of experience is characterized by a definite beginning and an equally definite end. We strive always to measure, laying off the extent of existence in com- prehensible terms of years and centuries, fixing for ourselves a set corner in space with the aid of yards and miles. Time, especially, is all important to us. Breathless, we hurry on, perpetually straining in a vain attempt to catch up to itg but finding ourselves always left far behind, hopelessly glued to one spot in spite of our efforts, quite like Alice and the Red Queen in Wonder- land. In our world seas may dry up, land may blow away, and splendid cities may crumble to dustg yet how many of us can determine the age of a star, or find the volume of the darkness which surrounds us? Ageless forces extend ever outward and on, placidly unperturbed, disdainful of our petty affairs. Infinity seems no more concerned with our joys and sorrows than we would be with the difficulties of an ant colony. Without some belief we would be utterly lost, floating in an un- feeling sea of frightening shadows without a destiny or a star to guide us. For man with his weakness, his fear, his ignorance, and his narrow vision must have something above himself in which to place his trust. Affirmation and encouragement are as necessary to his soul as bread is to his body. It matters little what form this conviction takes, as long as it remains satisfy- ing to the individual who possesses it. It may be faith in one God, in many gods, in an ideal, or simply in the ultimate goodness of one's fellow man. And who can say which of these is superior, which one is right and true? The sun which glints on the slender towers of a mosque is the same as that which streams through the deep-tinted windows of a cathedral, illuminating the faces lifted in adoration. The infinite alone is truly colorblind. Lips are lips whether they sing spirituals or Ave Mariasf' Eyes which read the sacred Koran are of the same substance as those which follow the Hebrew scriptures. Unhappy is the man who believes nothing. If any one can look upon the visible splendor of nature and still refuse to recognize the invisible splendor of God, his attitude is as unnatural as that of a blind man who pities those with sight, feeling sorry for them because they have a sun. This atheism may lead to the idea that everything, including one's neighbor and even one's self, is a concept of the mind, and that nothing really exists. By this idea life, that can be lovely and worthwhile, is changed into a ridiculous farce which becomes as useless and meaningless as the line in the old round which declares that Life is but a dream. Man without faith can see before him only a hopeless and hideous fate, but those who have a conviction possess the most precious thing in the world. A kneeling attitude becomes them, for it is a long step forward to admit one's weakness and to bow before a superior Being. It brings great joy to adore, an exultation which bursts forth in the springing cathedral vaults, the clamor of bells, and the slim pureness of white steeples which pierce the sky. Those who believe may join hands together and gaze happily into the shadows of that unknown which surrounds us and awaits us. They may dream without fear of eternity. MOUNTAIN AND SEA DAWN JOYCE Mouisiyrris, Class XI One by one, veils arise And grayish mist stirs sleepily. Silent boughs stretch skyward Bathed in freshness.

Bluejays call: silver splashes spurt from the lark's throat, A wild canary worships joyously. if fl ll' And on the sea The first bright ribbons of the sun are seen Breaking the clouds into strands of color. Opague white-caps leap to life Dazzling the beach with their new-won splendor. Cliffs rear up proudly Their faces again radiant with light and warmtll. Sandpipers scoot across the sand 'l'l1eir offspring following close behind. And out beyond Seagulls swoop, stabbing the blue With shrill and lonely cries. TRANSLATION OFIRIMA xxxvm BY GUs'rAvUs ADOLPHO BECQUER LUCY DAVIS, Class XII Sighs are but air and they turn into air, Tears are but water and go to the sea, Tell me, my lady, where love is forgot, Do you know where it is going to be? ONE WORLD ISABEL DUFFIELD, Class IX A quiet dimming the roar of city streets, A quiet muflling the country's animal sounds. This quiet is a reverence, a reverence preceding One - only one thing - Snow. The lirst flakes fall softly through the gloom As if a hand were gently sifting petals in a bridal aisle. Then Hakes come faster, faster, - hurling and swirling From the heavens above. The city's neon signs, so bright, are dimmed. There is only one world now - Not a world of signs and sounds, Not a world of wood and stone, But a world of snow. RAIN NANCY REID, Class IX Anywhere in town or country one can take sheer delight in watching crystal drops falling on spacious fields, or crowded pavements. If one notices closely during a rainstorm, one may observe many interesting things. A rain- drop may vary in size from a tiny bead of light to a large glistening drop. I have seen on icy days raindrops clinging to bare bushes, making them in the distance look like pussy-willows. Rain has color -quaker gray, sometimes almost white, often blue, and, most beautiful of all, the silver sheen on warm summer days. Rain has fragrance. VVe all know well the poignant smell after a summer shower when dust is moistened, and parched grass takes on a new life. I know nothing that compares with the delightful fragrance of lilacs in the gentle spring rain. Rain has music. The soft thud and patter of rain upon the roof are as musical to the imaginative listener as any symphony. Steady dripping on thick-leaved trees can quickly lull one into the land of dreams. Rain also has its dark moods. Heavy clouds turn day into night, and the rain pours in sheets of gray. Thunder roars, and lightning flashes. There is something startling and fearful in the fury of the storm. Rain, with its changeable personality from a gentle Quaker maid to a roaring savage beast, is one of the most beautiful and fascinating forces in nature. THE EXAMINATION fwith apologies to the unknown authors of Beowulf, BARRY LEARNED, Class X Now come at last was the dreadful moment. Stiff with'terror the school-victims Their examinations of first term a-waited. The hall-guard, stealthy, stalked the aisles To the students passing the torture-tests. They bit, with trembling, their pencils, In despair, glanced at their comrades, And e'en so, plunged into the ordeal, Undefeated, yet doomed to misery. Furiouswrote, while flashed from their eyes A determined glint, their best to do. The study-proctor saw in the Hall All huddled together, the pupils at work, Then laughed in her heart, she hoped they should pass Faster, still faster, their doom-papers they wrote. To the time-clock their eyes strayed in fear. Exams they had taken full often, A But never before had they found to confound them So hard a test, such questions to answer. Maddened, they grasped their pencils once more, Scribbled, in haste, last words of appeal, In hopes that the teacher, kind-hearted, Might pass them by with a C or a D , E'en so just in timeg at the bell's warning ring They arose with a start. Triumphant, Clutched papers, finished at last. Later, despondent, they looked at their term-grades. Alas, over-confident, hoped for an A , But Wyrd had otherwise willed their doom. TTHEjAPANESE'WEEPING CHERRY BARBARA GODARD, Class XII Although her time is short, I'd wait all year To see the lovely cherry blossom bloom. The soft red buds reclothe the barren gloom Again, inside the blossoms white appear. The branches bend like weeping willows here - The alluring scent is like a sweet perfume. Not long is life allowed this light costume When severity interrupts to domineer, Her gentle contours show a subtle beauty In winter, and, when loaded low with snow, The ermined limbs appear no longer free: But all the graceful branches are aglow ' With brilliant dazzling sparkles, when a sea Of frozen water purifies our tree. TO THE LAST RED LEAF MARIE BISSELL, Class X A crimson dot against a world of gray, A clinging hope awaiting judgment day. Autumn's wrath has drenched its coat with blood, But bravely still it faces Winter's flood Of cold and wind, until the harvest moon Fades away, to be forgotten soon. The bleakened winter moon has risen now, And casts its piercing glance on every bough, On every twig, and on this last red leaf, Which whispers low a mournful sigh of grief, Surrendering to a force which has no name, i And drifts back to the earth from which it came. TREE SUDDEN FLIGHT Bi:'rs15Y FISHER, Class VII Up in the meadows the deer are playing, Quietly lest they be heard. ' Stealthily running and dodging Softly, like wind-carried feathers. But suddenly the wind carries the word Of danger approaching near. They stop - tense and trembling Not u sound breaks the silence. Then suddenly they turn and llee For the sheltering wood, Back to the hidden thicket To wait for the danger to leave. SNOW ANN IIQILLINGHAST, Class VIII It resembles a spider web, intricate and dainty. To the touch of the hand it feels soft, but cold, like the clear water of a spring. It envelops a tree with an airy gentleness, similar to that of a fresh breeze upon a hillside. '1'o the eye, its coloring resembles that of Ileecy clouds in the heavens. Its movement is like that of a butterlly's. A million baskets could not hold this great expanse. FRIENDSHIP'S CASTLE ANN BRYANT WHI1'FIELD, Class VIII Night had fallen early, The mist was thick and cold, When we rode along together Like mystic knights of old. Our chargers, they were splendid, Our armor, silver bright, Our castles we defended, Far into many-a-night. We often rode together, And charged our unknown fears, And won at all our battles, But ended all in tears. One eve we charged a castle, We led our ancient band And knocked the wall of friendship down So now apart we stand. No more we ride together, For we our own troops lead, And I must be contented Without my fiery steed. I miss the ancient rider, The knight so strong and bold, But since I knocked our castle down He says my heart's grown cold.
