Well-traveled Sallie has entertained us often with tales of her trips to Europe and to South America. Her wit adds interest to her writing, and we suspect that it is partly responsible when We see her so often laugh- ing with Phyllis.

A pinch of quietness, a cup of sweetness, a tablespoon of cheerfulness, and the result is Beth. Her true capabilities were tested when our class was called upon to take Chapel. As our representative for two years Beth used her persuasive powers to induce us to do our part. This dependability coupled with her reserve are characteristic traits of Beth.

For Jody Chase, Ruth Finch, Sue Huber, Candy Kilbourn and Betsy Knapp this was a special day, for they were starting the class of 1951. In the fall of 1944 these old warriors were joined by several young braves, whose days were filled with tales of Totar and Tristan, two French wooden soldiers about whom we memorized much and understood little except the pictures. When for the third year the class of 1951 returned to Oxford, the last pair of braids had been cut off and we were really growing up. This was the age of piano lessons and senior crushes. When a Senior smiled at a fortunate Seven, 714 became a pink cloud! We entered class eight bent on distinguishing ourselves. Some one decided that it would be fun to faintg soon Oxford was sprinkled with fainting Eights. With horror Miss Fitch and Miss Lasell asked us to stop, finally Dr. Harvey was called. W'e were told that each time we fainted We destroyed part of our brain tissue. Dire calamity! In September of our freshman year we lost several members but were compensated by the addition of thirteen new imps for the study hall proctors to struggle with. Christmas arrived with its merry bells. In all seriousness we planned a party and formally invited several faculty mem- bers. When the day came, the small assembly was empty of all chairs save enough for the faculty. We had a tree with no trimmings and cookies without plates. All the bashful freshmen crowded onto the stage while the faculty were stranded alone in the middle of the vast shiny floor. To atone for this mishap we again entertained our faculty, this time, however, more successfully at a faculty-freshmen baseball game. Our class was not so taken up with academic pursuits that we neglected the lighter side, i. e., Emily T. and the unforgettable blue apple incident! Another carefree vacation of summer reading was over, and at the be- ginning of our sophomore year we welcomed Miss Graff. The time had come, too, for us to honor the Seniors, and we obliged with a roller- skating party, few of the would-be skaters emerged unscathed. Un- daunted, we had another brilliant idea, a class bicycle ride. Our original destination had been Carter's house in Bloomfield, but we actually ended flap ride at Bradley Field. Needless to say, after a thirty-mile ride we sat on cushions on Monday morning. 38 Miss Harry had struggled bravely with our messy closet that year. We hope that we were somewhat rewarding, for without her help we should never have grasped the next-to-last rung of the long academic ladder, class eleven. As Juniors we had the privilege of wearing lipstick, climb- ing three flights of stairs, Hashing our shining new rings, and going en masse for blind dates to Pomfret and Avon. Junior year was serious, toog members of our class began to fill responsible positions. Ann did an excel- lent job as vice president of O. S. A., while Gracie and her board changed Chat from a mimeographed sheet to a printed newspaper. Chat was our big splash of the year, deadlines became the prime subject of conver- sations - except on week-ends, that is. VVe were becoming decidedly better athletes, too. Even on the most blustery days our athletic endeavors were encouraged by Miss Gibney in her plaid scarf and beret. Then spring arrived, and the Junior Prom became a reality. The theme was April in Paris , directed by Jean and Leita CSOJ, we sacrificed study periods to make decorations for the gym. From a class dinner beforehand at the Hartford Golf Club we proceeded gaily to the dance. Finally, as the year ended with elections and class night honors, we of '51 claimed many of the laurels. We finally tumbled into the lounge and our senior year. For the Old-Girl New-Girl party we were forced to tax our small talents and produce that masterpiece, our skit and song. Behind the iinished product lay long hours of confusion, rehearsals encouraged by Miss Evans, and nearly vain efforts to learn our song. After the performance we Tallulah Bank- heads celebrated with sodas, much to the dismay of Howard Johnsons The year went swiftly on. Christmas interrupted our studies and after- lunch bridge games in the lounge. Monica graciously lent her house to the cause , and we again entertained the faculty in grand style. Exams came soon, but before they arrived '51 celebrated The Rise and Fall of Roman Empire Day. 'Mention is sufficient! Much more festive, the for- mal dance with its theme of Winter Wonderland was a gala success: after varied date problems a large majority of the class descended on Guernsey Hall. After the house party, the traditions of class night, and commencement we shall be alumnae. The organ will roll, and for the last time as students we shall raise our voices in the school song. Although no longer members of the school, we shall never forget the happy days, the friends we have made at Oxford and the valuable lessons we have learned: . . . to fight a good fight, to run a straight race, and to keep through all adventure the unbroken vigil of the soul.

This rock still stands. None of man's great machinery can move it, For this is the Mighty Mountain, The everlasting mountain of God. ESM jrienda Faith Learned, Class X It was a dark, cloudy day, early in September. The summer had come to an abrupt end after Labor Day, and all the summer people had left the little town of Weston. A girl stood on the beach watching the waves roll up and wash away papers, little shovels, strainers, and sand toys left by people who only a few days ago had been there. She sighed as she remembered the castles with moats, bridges and gardens, which only a few days ago had been scattered all over the beach, making it a medieval kingdom. This land of knights and chivalry had disappeared and the beach was now completely bare. The sound of a fog horn in the distance ended her daydreaming. She turned and ran along the beach in her bare tan feet, the wind blowing her long brown hair out behind her. Suddenly she remembered. Alice was coming home from the mountains today! How nice it would be to see her again. She remembered the fun they had had together all winter, and suddenly was glad that school would begin again soon. She and Alice could be best friends againg laughing together, whispering to each other, doing everything together, and letting no one enter into their own private world. She had left the beach and was walking through the tall grass that led to Alice's house. Up ahead the field ended and there were woods. She ran along the path that they had worn by going to and fro between each other's houses, whistling softly as she went. Suddenly she came out of the woods into a clearing and there looming up in front of her was a big old brick house. - At first she thought that nobody was there, but then she saw the car in the garage, and heard a screen door slam and voices coming from the porch. She began to run towards the porch but something made her stop suddenly. 68 I 'fl Sitting on the porch railing was a tall girl with short blonde hair, and laughing blue eyes. Her nose tilted naughtily upward and was covered with freckles. She wore a blue cotton and high heels and was talking gaily to a girl beside her. Gee, it's perfectly terrific that you're moving to Weston, Jeannie! Now we can be friends all year around instead of just in summer time. I know you'll just love the kids in our class at school! Let's be best friends, shall we? We can sit together, and do everything together at school. Why, we might even have . . . Just then a noise over by the bushes made her look up. A thin little girl in blue shorts and bare feet was running through the woods. Tears were streaming down her face. There was only one thought in her mind. She had to get awayg she had to go to the sea, and the wind. They were her only real friends. Perhaps they would understand. On Ming a JQHL gay Wendy Williams, Class X The turmoil within his mind Is like the indecision Of a small birdg It wants to Hy Yet knows not how. His curiosity is greatg He is .strongg His devotion is undying And he is safe From the world. The wonder of it all - He loves the people Who amuse him so, For he is young Yet vastly wise. His realm a magic landg The ruler laughs aloud With the sheer happiness Of living, and being A little boy. 69 .9l'l5 igni icance Ann Fisher, Class XII I reached the top of the cliff And stood for a moment- just looking, Felt the wind sweeping through my hair As it sailed fiercely to some distant place. Far below me I saw the stream With the swift torrents That gushed through the rocky opening. I looked across at the mountain of green, Made of wondrous monstrous things. I thought of how far into eternity These lives would all pass on - The cliff, the stream, the wind, the trees. I looked into time and saw with wonder How small a part I play in the scheme. And yet there must be some reason for it, For God did put me here. pefgzcfing Grace Stephenson, Class XII Oh, lonely brook, gone are the carefree days when we used to while away the hours playing at your bedside. You have aged. Where is your red Wooden bridge? All that remains are a few sorrowful boards unable to withstand the furor of snow and the heat of sun. Once a glory, now a disgrace, they lie disheartened and ashamed. Even your song is different. Tears seem to have replaced babbles. VVeeds encumber your passage and instead of a joy it is a task to roll on. No longer do we hide in your grass. Your fishes enchant us notg they are too small. The water has become too cold for wading, the fiowers less colorful. On winter afternoons you are too far away for skating. Even when you do freeze, your surface is bumpy. IVhy did you grow old? Because of this your friends have forsaken you. But no! I hear voices in the distance, young children's voices. They are coming this way! Are we the ones that have changed? Are we lonely and forsaken? Oh, brook, help us to find the right path! 70 . . . .xdncl Sunshine Vitaline O'Co'nnell, Class X With drowsy eyes, and the comfort of sleep Still within us, How joyfully we greet The Hrst banners of the morning sung The bright red and gold, and Huid silver Of the dawn. All through the April forenoon, Torrents of translucent rain Quench the thirsts of the parched earth. Small rivulets now run And join one another, on their way To form a pool, to reliect The sun's brilliance. Then through June's noontide The hot bombardment of the sun, Throwing his blazing arrows upon us. And when evening comes, He lays down his arms And lies in sleeping scarlet glow. Meanwhile, the great earth spins With precise, unhurried assurance That the harvests shall be prepared By the miracle of the sun. .xdloloenchcifid Betsy Robinson, Class IX George kicked the ancient mule in exasperation. Mules were supposed to be slow, but really, old Surefoot should be given a medal as the slowest mule in all Kentucky. And in an emergency like this, too. The region where George had just digested a few cold, hard biscuits tightened up uncomfortably as he thought of his mother lying writhing in pain on the old tick mattress, with only a moth-eaten blanket to cover her from the twenty-degrees-above-zero night. George kicked old Surefoot again. The mule made a slight heaving sound, and George patted her neck. 71 No old gal, he said, Uyou-all ain't very speedy but you sure does deserve yore name. You h'ain,t.missed a step yit and this here's rough goin'. The Kentucky night was very still, and the moon was very bright as George and Surefoot plodded along the mountain trail. George tried to think as he rode. He knew that there was a Frontier Nursing Station a little the other side of Hazard on the edge of the clearing. He must have gone about half way. That meant he had about three miles to go. Meanwhile, at the Nursing Station, Miss Warner was busily putting several little bottles into a big white medicine cabinet. She was unusually tired, but this was her night to stay up in case of emergency. just as the last bottle found its place in the cabinet, there was a timid rap on the door. Miss Warner opened it and stepped back in surprise. A tired little boy was standing in the doorway with a rope in one hand. At the end of the rope was a bedraggled old mule, breathing heavily, rather like a steam engine. Miss Warner quickly regained her composure. Here, she said, let me take your mule. You go in and sit by that stove till I come back. She took the old mule to the stable and placed her in charge of the sleepy groom. 'fSaddle up Lightfoot and Papoose, she ordered. We'll probably be needing them. Back in the room by the stove she questioned George carefully. She aches somethin' awful, said George worriedly. Where is the pain ? I can't rightly make out. Sometimes it's here, and sometimes there. She said not to get help, God would take care of her. But I just had to come, she was ravin' so. Come on, said Miss VVarner, getting up. Think you can make it back on a good horse? How far is it? 'Bout six miles or thereabouts. I can make it, I guess. Got to. Within an hour and a half they had arrived at the rickety shanty. George, said Miss Warner, go tie the horses where you keep Surefoot and put their blankets on. There're some oats in the saddle bag. As she went in, the dim light from the interior glistened on the snow, and George heard a low moan from his mother. Then the door shut. He stood para- lyzed for a moment and then Lightfoot nuzzled him questioningly as if to say: What's the matter, old chap? I'm here, what more do you want? I'm hungry. George led the two horses into the 'fbarnf' a ramshackle lean-to attached to the house, and began working on Papoose's coat. A half hour later, Miss Warner looked up to see George's wizened little face peeping cautiously around the door. Come in, said Miss VVarner with a smile. Your mother is going to be all right. Shels sleeping now. '72 George's mouth had opened wider and wider while she was talking and now his jaw looked about to drop off. Miss Warner had to repeat her invitation to come in before he finally shut the door and came timidly in to stare at the bed. His mother's face, which had been wincing in pain and anguish before, was now completely relaxed. It looked tired as usual, but very peaceful, at rest. Now you sit down here, said Miss WVarner, gently pushing him into place before the old Fireplace, and I'll do a little picking up. George watched her, still with a rather dazed expression on his face, as she bustled about the dirty cabin, picking up things here, sweeping in a corner there, and making the room look as respectable as possible. George, she said, when she had done as much as possible with the meagre furnishings, do you know what Christmas is ? It's the day when Jesus was born, replied George promptly, and it's coming soon. Right, smiled Miss Warner. It's better for you to remember that, than to remember what many children do, all the presents they'll get, and the tree, and their stockings. What tree ? asked George. So Miss Warner began on the age-old traditions of Christmas until George was thoroughly educated on the subject. Finally she said she must go, but she would be back tomorrow, with another nurse and Surefoot, and food and blankets, and all kinds of mysterious plans. And that is how it all came about. George is now happily settled in a house in the little town of Hazard, Kentucky, with his mother. His friend, Miss Warner, is hard at work arranging bottles in a big white medicine cabinet at the Frontier Nursing Station. Ulm 'Dumb Susan Taylor, Class VII There are woods on Strawberry Hill, The woods are quiet, quiet and still, The pines are pretty, the dogwoods too, And over the hill is a beautiful view. Fox and rabbits run in these woods While squirrels store up their winter goods, In winter the woods are more beautiful yet, With diamonds and crystals gently set. The tops of the trees look like crowns of kings While the lower branches look like angels' wings. In the woods running through the trees Is always a soft refreshing breeze. The pines are beautiful, straight and tall, They are as sturdy as a stone wall, These woods are right in back of our house, They are usually as quiet and still as a mouse. 73 OUQIYLAQI' if J Evelyn Houghton, Class VIII Crisp, clear air, The cry of the wild duck a challenging dare. Cold, steel-blue sky, A flaming bonfire left to die. A silver frost on the rolling hills. November. .Nome !0l' tAe EGU? Joan Sajford, Class X It's five thirty, Bob's mother called upstairs, interrupting the fast and furious game of cops and robbers in the guest room. It was already grow- ing dark, so Henry and Bob reluctantly picked up their belongings and some of the sofa cushions, and landed downstairs via the banisters. Henry was bundled into his jacket by Bob and wished a noisy good night at the door. With a hearty Heigho, Silver! he galloped off the lighted porch and down the driveway to show he didn't mind going home in the dark. But once outside the friendly light he slowed down and began hum- ming to keep his spirits up. A low growl closeby made him pause a moment in his song to listen. The growl grew to a bark but Henry didn't stay to see the owner of it. He ran and ran, terrified, to a kindly street lamp and stood there watching the un- known dark and feeling his heart pound, like mysterious footsteps, furi- ously in his head. Regaining courage and his breath he left the lamp and ventured again on his way. His shadow followed him, long and elusive, clinging as though glued to his feet. He walked warily, his imagination now fully aroused to the shadows and noises. He skirted the leaves made huge by .shadows and walked on the grass to deaden his footsteps. The wind blowing the bare branches of the trees made them seem like old witches, whose crooked, ugly arms tried to grab him as he passed. He could see a one-eyed pirate, Treasure Island style, crouching behind every bush and hedge, ready to spring with naked blade glinting. Boy !, he thought, how nice it would be if he'd brought his cap pistol! That would show 'em and perhaps scare the dark away, too! 74 He went into the light of another street lamp and his shadow still followed him as he left the light behind. The stars twinkled down on him but were too far away and seemed too cold to be very comforting. He could hear the distant sound of a piano and as he passed a lighted home smell the supper smells. He shivered. Another stretch of lonely dark and then his home, with the porch light gleaming on the knocker. Nothing else in the world could have looked as wonderful at that moment. Free now from cold and fear he bounded up the stairs, two at a time, and opened the door just a crack. He then looked carefully behind him and quickly jumped inside slamming the door behind him with a sigh of relief. Leaning back against the door he smiled. His mother came from the kitchen with her apron on and helped him off with his jacket. I hope you didn't mind coming home alone, dear, she said. Oh, no, it was fun ! y cling jbwer garden Leonice Knox, Class VII I have a little flower garden of which I'm very fond. It has five little pansies, around a little pond. It has a little rose, as sweet as sweet can be. It has ten little lilies, who look so dear to me. It has one little daisy, swaying in the breeze. It has two little morning glories, who climb my fence with ease. My favorite little Hower, in this little garden of mine, Is -my little purple violet, swinging on a vine. .giving fane Andrews, Class VII The daffodils in the wind-play.

Look for a toadstool all fluted in white, A glow-worm who lives there will serve as a light. Creep into his house at the edge of the lawn And dream pixie-dreams till the cold rain is gone. lgolaufarify Confeaf Dorian Wilkes, Class XII As the season begins, many of the seniors are bewailing the fact that most of the boys from the vicinity are away at college or prep school. To most of us the year stretches out in one series of dateless Saturday nights. Now, at the end of the first week of school, the class has been invited to a dance at a nearby college to meet its freshman class. With something to look forward to, life has become perceptibly easier. Although the dance has not yet become a reality, I can predict from past experience how it will proceed. Since freshmen are not allowed to have cars, we are dependent on our own resources for transportation. This involves either our own cars or the use of a taxi ffor a slight feej. Once there, we are mercilessly herded into a large bare room. At one end a mass of males are huddled together. The shy ones stay close to the background while the braver and more in- dependent ones approach the center, frankly staring in an effort to select the most beautiful girl with which to impress their classmates. Now the race is on! As the girls begin to collect in one corner, the boys nearest them edge forward, constantly straining their eyes in order to make a care- ful selection. As the music plays, the prettiest girls dance with what in- evitably turn out to be the most popular boys. Gradually as the better looking girls are weeded out, other, less interesting boys with fairly keen consciences move toward the remaining girls, select- ing somewhat more blindly than their predecessors. Both boys and girls feel that they could do better in the way of a partner. The group dwindles until there are only three or four girls left. The rest of the boys are either shy, unable to dance, or disapproving of what they see. The girls huddle together for moral support, giggling somewhat loudly in a vain effort to creat the impression that they are having a great deal of fun. '76 This pattern continues until the end of the dance at eleven-thirty. Some girls are observed to take their leave reluctantly, while others, if one watches closely, display an unmistakable look of relief. By Monday morning the evening is remembered by all as a long stream of blissful events. The success of the individual is measured by interest enough on the part of one of the boys to continue the friendship. This is proof of true popularity, and is, of course, the real reason for going in the first place. Oh well, I always preferred Yale men myself! pattern Betsey Fislrer, Class X Lost, a little black lamb, Forgotten, an old bear 3 Broken, a china doll, Patched up, a wooden horse.

XV e try to grasp it, but forgetting, It quickly fades away, Leaving the mind as before Tranquil and still. j00J!0l' Ol' j06l6!el' for .HOPJQJ Ann Tillinghast, Class XI How does one bridle in thoughts, corralling them in separate paddocks, never allowing them to trespass into the realms of imagination? Why is it that soft dreamy music stimulates them to action, makes them fight against the reins that bind them, finally enabling them to break loose and gallop unhindered, tearing up past memories hitherto well covered by will power? Why is it that thoughts possess the power to transport one into the past or the future, to bring pain or happiness? How can one halt the Howing tears which emerge from the depths of the heart as a stampeding '78 thought kicks into a past reminiscence or a future expectation? Some people say that they have complete control over their thoughts. Have they discovered the architectural plans for erecting so strong a barrier that nothing can impose upon it? If they have, is it not tiresome to muse and calculate mere formulas instead of allowing their chargers to run un- checked at intervals? I wonder, and yet if I chanced to come upon the blueprints, would I choose to construct impregnable structures or let my steeds roam at will? me .Nome-coming T Priscilla Dimock, Class X The train slowly pulled itself into the station and with one final groan seemed to collapse completely there as though hot and fatigued from its long trip south. The station appeared completely devoid of shade, and the people sitting there were oblivious to anything around them, moving only occasionally just enough to cool themselves from the oppressing heat. Nor was their steadfast gaze into space diverted as a young man descended onto the platform. The tapping of his cane made dull sounds against the sparkling pavement as he cautiously wound his way to a waiting cab. As he reclined his lanky frame against the shiny cushions his sandy hair seemed prominent in the dimness of the cab. The tanned leatheriness of his face had an almost stern line, strange for one so youngg yet his eyes, lacking expression, looked from the cab unseeingly into the almost blind- ing sunlight. He shifted uneasily in his seat as he neared the end of his journey. In answer to the cab driver's request he paid the fare and slowly descended from the car onto the glaring sidewalk. The tapping of his cane again seemed the only sound in the hot afternoon except, perhaps, for an occasional squeak of a rocking chair on some far- OH shaded veranda. The young man went slowly up the walk, up the steps and onto the porch of a rambling old house. He knocked hesitantly on the door, and receiving no answer, knocked again, and again, each time louder and with more force, but each time with no response. Then with a dull thump his knocking ceased and in the hot afternoon the faintly receding tap of his cane was the only reminder of his homecoming. 79 guild anal See! Vivian Hathaway, Class XII They live in houses of steel and stone, These modern people Who laugh at God's nameg Supercilious souls sufficient to themselves. Prayer and God are forgotteng They are secure, invincible, the kings of civilization. Miracles are only wrought by modern science 3 Death seems dim and unfamiliar To those who live in houses of steel and stone. The sun disappears, the rains begin. These modern people shrug their shoulders In annoyance. Their tools of civilization are useless- Their radios sputter, their lights flash out. The river muddily overflows its banks 3 A wind whips from the depths of the Hood-soaked earth A sturdy elm crashes through their fading security They are helpless! They rung A child sobsg A dog howls 5 A neon sign crashes to the sidewalk. Their omnipotence is ended . . . A woman humbly bows her head. Men look skyward, searching for something, some one. A cry arises He must be able to stop this! The good God is all-powerful, He will end the stormg He will save His People Where, oh where, are their houses of steel and stone? 80 III. The wind finally fades into the recesses Of the night, the rains abate. The people once more walk the streets Among their houses of steel and stone, Convinced that the storm was only a rampage of Nature. They are safe again, the kings of civilization. Though God besets them on a thousand frontiers, They are positive, these sophisticates, That science is the only truth. Yet sometimes they see the warped stumps That surround their houses of steel and stone, And remember. Cdl' and .9 Sallie Barr, Class XII Car and I were on bad terms from the very beginning. From the moment I first pressed an uncertain linger on the starter, we were at odds. The first time I tried to drive Car, he glared balefully at me with his head- lights, and then stubbornly refused to start, in vain I pressed the starter and pumped frantically on the gas. The only result was a series of half- hearted sputters which soon died away into a sickly silence. I could sense Car's triumphant attitude. Determined not to be outwitted by a mere piece of mechanism, I lirmly pulled out the choke and bore down on the gas. In a roar of tubercular wheezes and coughs, Car sulkily and sluggishly pulled away from the curb. However, at the first Stop sign, Car deliber- ately stalled. Fearing I had encountered some unseen obstacle, I crawled out. There was a nasty, self-satisfied smirk on Car's front bumper. Back behind the wheel I crawled, and after much jerking and gagging, Car started up again. On that first occasion' I just drove Car, or rather Car drove me around the block. By the time I arrived home, I was exhausted and hysterical. I remembered the oft-repeated admonition of my driving teacher: Know who's boss, he had said -- a totally unnecessary piece of advice. I knew just exactly who was boss, and so did Car. 81 Since that first time, I have driven Car quite often and his attitude has shown an improvement, only a shade, to be sure, but, nevertheless, an im- provement. Car no longer stalls at every single Stop sign. He has rationed this pleasure more frugally since he has found that I can be vicious when aroused. He no longer calmly refuses to start upon every possible occa- sion. However, he takes an insatiable delight in roaring suddenly at the top of his carburetor when I am trying to start. Whenever he does start, it is with much jerking and bucking. He often deliberately sticks his left win- dow when I want to make a signal, and he still' refuses to go anywhere near the curb when I want to park. However, Car is driveable, and, until the not-too-distant day when his ill- tempered antics make me renounce all automobiles forever, he will con- tinue to be driven. CNote: Every incident in this story is absolutely true and any similarity to persons living, or perhaps by now dead, is not a bit surprisingj rain ime Catherine Larrabee, Class XI A vague point of the hand was all I had to show me the way. I was in Los Angeles and on my way to San Francisco. My train was to leave in exactly two minutes according to the clock, and my cousin, caught by the traffic, was only able to point out the direction vaguely before she drove away with all the cars. What was the name of the train? I could not remember as I approached the gates. Panic began to rise and I knew that I had only about a minute left. What would I do? I was twenty miles from anyone I knew, and alone. Morning Dayl1ght! That was the name. I ran through the gate labled Morning Daylight and started to hand my ticket to the conductor. He calmly said, Take it over there, miss, and pointed to a man sitting at a desk. The bag and packages which I was carrying seemed to grow heavier with every step towards the desk. I thrust the ticket into the man's hand and as he returned the stub he said, You had better hurry, missg the train leaves in thirty seconds. The train is at the gate marked seven. 82 I looked down the tunnel that held my fate, and my heart sank lower and lower. There were ten gates and you might know that mine would be near the end. I ran down the tunnel, but my progress seemed eternally slow. An elderly woman behind me said, If you make it, hold it for me ? I nodded as I ran but all of a sudden one of my packages fell. My heart just seemed to hit bottom as I stopped to pick it up. I was almost there but when I reached gate seven I heard the engine start. I looked up the Bight of stairs but could not see the train. My strength was almost gone as I mounted them. My suitcase banged against every step but I paid no attention although I was lucky that it did not open. When I reached the top, the conductor stopped me, saying, There is no need to rush, miss, the train will not leave for at least twenty minutes. They are changing engines. .jwlunfing Ann Baldwin, Class XI The stillness of dawn in the morning, The mist of the clouds hanging low, The chill of the air, the smell of the reeds, A boat moving softly and slow. A flutter of wings in the thicket, The ripple of waves by the oar, The pant of a dog, the crack of a gun, The ducks are beginning to soar. The sunlight is piercing the heavens, The call of the ducks flying high, The bang of a gun, the bark of a dog, A duck falling out of the sky. l The dream of a hunter is answered, In the chill and the chill of the dawn. The gunpowder smell, the path in the blind Are lingering after he's gone. gut Weller jlifgef .He 662025 .911 Mu Jenny Kate Reynolds, Class XII An atheist once said, during a discussion of religion, I don't believe in God, to which his companion replied, You may not believe in God, but never forget that He believes in you ! There are many disbelievers who could dispute this idea. There are many who take a pessimistic view of their problems, and their reasoning goes something like this: There is only one God, and yet there are millions of human beings in this world. How, therefore, can He hear and answer my ' 83 prayers? Many times have I prayed, and yet my prayers remain un- answered. Why did He take my wife from me, even though I prayed that her life might be spared, that my children would not be mother1ess? Or, Why can,t I succeed in business, why can't I be spared poverty or illness? Why is there not everlasting life for all men? Surely He is not watching over us, or there would be no evil, no hatred among men, no wars. There are two answers to these questions. First, how can God hear my prayers, when so many people pray at once? I think the best explanation, surely the most plausible, is that as God represents infinity, there is no time, no minutes nor seconds, in His realm. Therefore, each prayer is a separate thing, a question to be dealt with as it is presented. In that way, there is always time for each one, so that He may hear and answer each as He sees lit. Secondly, why, if God is pictured as love and happiness, must there be evil, hatred, and wars? VVhy, if God controls our thoughts and actions, isn't there universal peace? Is it not God that makes us think and act as we do? Does He not control our every movement? The answer to this is that God does not control our thoughts and actions. It is not God, nor Fate, but we ourselves who are our own masters. God can only be a guiding light, not a dictator whose every bidding we must follow. This is proven in the symbolic story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit. As the story goes, in the Garden of Eden, where dwelt Adam and Eve, or more realistically, in the beginning of the world, there was no Evil, only Good. Then God placed the forbidden fruit in the garden, giving Adam and Eve a choice between Good and Evil. He did not govern them in such a way as to keep them from it, but He let them choose their own way, and as the story continues, when Eve picked the fruit and Adam ate it, they introduced Evil into the world of Good, and it was from that stem that the evil in the world has grown, not from God's choice, but from our own. He can only lead, and if we do not choose to follow, that is our fault, not His. He is a Father to us, His children. He can show us the way, but it is we who must make the decision to follow along that way. And yet, to help us in our life, to show us the way, to show His belief in us, He has given us the guideposts of beauty, love, and peace of mind. But, you will say, it is mortals who paint pictures, write beautiful music and good books. It is we who love and seek peace of mind. True, but is it not through His inspiration? Artists paint pictures of the beauty of nature, but what is this beauty? It is a signpost of Go It is His doing, as are all good and fine things. It is God's way of showi g that no matter how bad the world may be, He still believes in us, in our ability to choose between right and wrong, in our ability to have peace and love, and above all, in our ability to love Him as He loves us, forever, thr ugh all eternity. 84 'fig ZW 3400! 6,Ill'0!fI1'l-en!
