The Oxford Art Gallery transformed us all To Rembrandts and DegaS and othersg The Sym-phony orchestra boomed through the hall With instruments strangely like Mother's. The Fair was the biggest and best show on earth, And all of the booths could show winners, 'While off at the auction we witnessed the birth Of the selling of faculty dinners. The girls in the Glee Club were singing their parts In November for The Lowland Sea-song You C'ezn'1' Take It With You took all of our heartsg VVe know P and P was the reason! With raise of Dave Crockett we're nearl eccentric' P Y , The Dance Club was right on its toesg And speaking of dancing Cand this is authenticj, Our pride in our dances still grows. A fair plus a play plus a dinner and tea Equals many good times and great fung And to use some more math, one nine live two and three Makes the best of all years for each one! 4 THE LoUNGE OF '53 To some it would be an ordinary room. It is fifteen feet by thirteen, decorated in soft pinks and greys, really too small and crowded to hold thirty-six people. To the Class of '53 however, it has been special, some- thing they have waited for, and one of those extraordinary things that lives up to all the expectations of it. It has been a lot of fun, our year in the lounge, and it has been good for us too. Colleges say that to have a chance to regulate our own time and schedules will give us greater self-reliance and responsibility when we are not supervised. The lounge has also been a unifying agent, a place where personalities were revealed, friendships were found, and stories were told for all to hear. The lounge has made us, not a group of girls who were put together just because we were of the same age and grade, but a unit, a circle of friends. The part the lounge has played in bringing us together is what we want to tell. In the morning, for instance, when we come in to find Mary Pearsall with her shoes off, sitting on the couch, we wonder what we should do without her cheery hello , and the shyly quizzical expression on her face. There is Loulie, too, with the sweater and collar which make her look like a school-girl, which is, after all, what she is, and the papers and folders which make her look important, which is, after all, what she is, too. There is Rozzy, always worried about a problem, yet laughing, too, which makes her a symbol of delightful incongruityg and Olga warning us, reminding us, pleading with us to check in, while Margaret in her vice-presidential, tuneless way sings us the song about going to chapel. Through the morning there are frantic rushings-in, trying to get books and get out in the shortest time, we remember Sandy, balancing her books precariously and losing all semblance of dignity, but getting to the third Hoor via the lounge in her allotted two minutes. All through the morning the lounge sees action: sometimes there are only Blannie and Weimdy, talking about a deadly serious, fascinating problem, sometimes Joan and Nancy enter and convince the occupants that they have been evicted from their French class, only to return to class with the missing books in their arms. Faith and Vitty are there, in their famous insult matches, we cannot decide who wins, but we know that as an insulting team, they are tops. After lunch there is a class meeting. Before it starts, Bridgehand Betsey, the lounge's epitome of the perfect player, finds three girls to join in a game of bridge with her. Carole joins because she is so cooperative, Kay because l46l she likes to be doing things, Sabra because it gives her a chance to talk to people. At any rate, the cards are obediently put away when our president calls the meeting to order. Then the lounge becomes a scene of battle. Hope and Harriet, Priscilla and Pagie all have things to say, pro and con. We begin to think that nothing is as confusing, as enraging, and interesting as the reasoning of high-school girls. However, like many good arguments, this one finds its end in compromise. The problem is settled, the tempers are soothed, and the bell has rung, usually five minutes before convenience would allow. Molly has come back from lunch, reassuring us that yes, she did mail our letters, giving us the smile that tells us that she received one. Cynnie is collecting nickels for the pound with an eficiency which assures us that her future lies in banking. June laughs with us over some small incident which her wit makes interesting and funny, Barbara Hooker and Ann Peterson are quietly sharing news over on the windowsill, as the afternoon sun picks out the reddish glints in Barbie's dark hair and the smooth beauty of Ann's coloring. Laura's neat books give us an example of how neat the lounge could be. As the afternoon moves on, Pam leaves for the Red Cross Blood Bank, Sally for the basketball game, Joan for the study hall mural, with her smock and paint brush, and, finally, Barbie leaves for peace in the library. We must admit that at that time of day our noise-making activity is at its greatest. As Cynnie Smith asks Sheila how a spirogyra conjugates, Annie, with her face toward the wall, recites To be or not to be in a pleasant little mumble. Judy is laughing with Bev, and their teasing and laughter are indicative of the atmosphere in the lounge, one of natural and lazy friendliness and learning. Finally the bell rings, and the lounge fills with girls: girls putting on their coats, girls picking up their Glee Club music, girls talking and laughing, and filling the lounge to such an extent that it seems to tremble and resound. At the end of the day the walls of the lounge seem to collapse, like a balloon. An atmosphere of unusual peace settles down. In the stillness a sign fiutters on the lounge door: Faith! Clean this up! l47l 'W WW M11-Q .i W .

Suns in my brain, in my dream. Terror of power, Fear of strangeness, Piercing my apathy, my calm, Chilling and choking, Grasping, groping . . . Terror of sun, of future. II The dream came like a great beast, The suns rose in droves from the east, The earth crouched in a dull hole And man burrowed . . . blind, as a mole . . . The sins loomed in the bright sky And men screamed, and wondered why Life, death, - and a black fate. The suns swallowed earth . . . and the late Birds fluttered and tried to sing- And the fire seared each wing. THE INVADERS LoU1sE HEUBLEIN, Class X The shack was dwarfed by the huge western pines surrounding it. It was called a soddy, made by piled sod bricks. Usually soddies had no windows or second floors. Occasionally the larger ones had these, as did the one we three approached on horseback. After tying our horses to a broken-down hitching post, we walked silently to the door, a feeling of awe stirring in us. T661 The wooden door opened, accompanied by the scratching sound of rusted iron. We entered warily, for a sense of suspicion hovered low over us. The streak of light from the open door gave a somewhat eerie aspect to the musty smelling room before us. A mutilated table and chair reclined in the half-light amongst small heaps ofrubble. A great dusty cobweb ornamented and joined the chair and table. A black spider, startled by the suddenness of our appearance, moved quickly and expertly across his dusty roadway to the shelter of a crack in the chair. The ladder to the second Hoor was discovered. The lightest girl mounted it and soon disappeared into the black hole above. When I reached the second Hoot, the Hrst thing I saw was a big brown trunk squatting in the gloom of a far corner. As I moved toward it I felt the darkest shadows leave the corners to trail at my back, running icy fingers up it. All three of us knelt at the trunk speaking in whispers. VVhat was it about the shack? We all felt the baleful influence the place exerted over us. How silly we aref' someone said. We laughed nervously, increasing the volume of our voices. just then a rustling was heard coming from the inside of the trunk. A few minutes later, the soddy was free of three young girls who had interrupted the peacefulness of its routine. The mice in the trunk rested now, content, for the sound of the hoof-beats of three rapidly departing horses grew dimmer and dimmer. TIGER CAT JOAN SAFFORD, Class XII Sphinx-like, with brimstone glance, Our tiger cat drowses in a necromancerls sun. Intently crouched and prism eyed, Twitching tail, With ears smoothed back, velvet, Steam-motivated, Sphinx-like, with brimstone glance, Our tiger cat drowses in a necromancer's sun. l67l MY BRGTHER MIKE JANE WRIGHT, Class VII Tommy has a red fire truck, Richard has a bike, Johnny has a rocking horse, But I have brother Mike. I don't have a fire truck, Nor do I have a bike, But do they have the fun that I Have With brother Mike? THE DEPARTURE SABRA GRANT, Class XII The sky was cloudless and deep as I ran down to the beach in the morn- ing. Although the dry grass bit and pinched my bare feet and I stubbed my toes on the rocky road, today these small tortures were pleasure. The air was fresh and clean from the storm the night before. Each breath was a treat. The day was cool but the sun warmed my arms and face with a drowsy heat. The crickets were droning. I quickened my step, unable to Wait for the glimpse of the coastal Waters. The angry sea fought the giant rocks which barred her path to the beach, sending up large bursts of spray. As the waves hit the sand, the spray filled the air and fell gently all around me. The sand was Warm and squeaked with my feet as I moved along the beach, While my toes dug deep into the cool sand beneath the warm surface. I played tag with the Waves, running out after them, then back, not letting the surf catch my heels. Touched by the Water the sand was like gray velvet. The impressions that my feet made on the Wet sand were instan- taneous. Suddenly I heard the disagreeable sound of a horn. I gazed at the ocean, then turned my back on the shore for the summer. WN TWO IMPRESSIONS PRISCILLA DIMOCK, Class XII I I long to paint a picture of Warm sun beating on ebony skin, Of' ebony bodies running free on yellow sanded plains, And unquelled laughter reaching out to grasp the onlooker. II Hate is strong when it surrounds a heart That beats but is not freeg Hate is a wall which has no door. LETTER TO SANTA NANCY AUSTIN, Class IX DEAR SANTA, I havenlt been as good this yearg In fact, I've been quite bad! I haven't done what Mommy said, And disobeyed my dad. But gosh, it's awful hard for me To do the things I should. I guess I'm naturally inclined Against things which are good. But, Santa, if you understand, And if you Want to leave A little present at my house, I'll be good Christmas Eve! So Goodbye, Santa, 'til next year VVhen I will write again. -I think my daddy Wants A small electric train. 69 70 NATURE'S SONG EDITH WILCOCK, Class IX The woods were quiet, dense, and still that day. The fox, low nosed, was following a trail. The wood duck voiced its call and ducked its head Beneath the ripples of the lonely pond. A striped Fish came up to nose the air. The sounds of nature were a lovely song. The crickets chirped a carefree tune among The drones of busy bees. Some birds also VVere adding to the orchestra of these. The sounds of nature were a lovely song. THE TREE IN THE MEADOW SALLY DEVLIN, Class XI It stands alone now, Forlornly stretching its branches toward the sky above And surveying the hard frozen earth below With the air of a proud, noble giant. It doesn,t seem to care That the biting wind Has recently robbed it Of its glorious attire. As the snow Hakes Filter through its branches To rest on its unfeeling limbs, They seem to form a protective coat, But are soon swept away with the again robbing wind. Still it stands bravely, Unmoved by the force ofthe bitter windg Knowing, by the knowledge of years, That its blooming time shall come again. THOSE EYES JILL WILLIAMS, Class VIII Her eyes are blue and though they are, They tell not the future, near nor far. Her eyes tell nothing ofjoyful surprise, Blank and patient, monotonous eyes! Those eyes show nothing, but her face is kind, For troubled they are - those eyes are blind. NEVER KNEW I THIS LUCY ANNE READ, Class IX I heard a soft and cooing loving sigh One dark and cold and windy winter night As I stood leaning by the stable door. Becoming curious, I looked inside. I saw a small Child crying in the hay, Surrounded by the ox and sheep I-Ie lay Clothed in swaddling clothes by His mother His soft blue shining eyes were open wide. I-Ie seemed to stop His crying suddenly. And as He did, I looked against the sky, In time to see the figures of three men. I think they were on camels drawing nigh. I ran from where I stood to look again. I saw that they were Wise Men bearing gifts. I asked myself what mystery could this be? And wondered why the Child lay in the hay. I never knew that this was Christmas Day. 's side. 71 THE BREAKING OF A STORM I-IEIDI Wooo, Class IX It was a cool September evening, and a brisk breeze was blowing from the sea. As I walked along the beach, the white sand was blown up around me and formed small mounds. In the distance, I could see the fog creeping its way into the coast. As the wind grew stronger, I saw Whitecaps forming on the sea-whitecaps that looked like birds being tossed up and down on the waves. The surf was breaking higher and higher to where I stood on the rocks. As it rolled back into the sea, only to become larger waves, it left masses of green and brown leathery seaweed behind. Within half an hour the storm had broken. Waves were crashing against the cliffs on the beach, and ocean spray was thrown into the air. Torrents of rain were pouring down to make the sea higher and hurl those tremendous waves. The sand was no longer blown into mounds because it had been drenched down by the raging sea. The fog had crept in and covered the whole beach. VVarnings were sounded out by all fog horns. I could see vaguely through the fog the flickering ofa light from the nearest lighthouse. The noise of the surf breaking made it hard to hear the horn. Small ships were tossed up and down in the waves. Rescue squads were sent into the storm to bring back all survivors from the capsized boats. The sea gulls were all safely tucked away in cracks of rocks. I watched all of these doings for a while longer and then started toward the lighthouse to find shelter until the worst of the storm was over. The salt spray and strong wind Whipped through my hair and stung my face. It took me longer than I thought it would because the wind was so strong. Finally I forced my way to the tower and knocked at the door. I was let in by a round friendly lighthouse keeper who gave me shelter until the storm was over. The storm subsided in about two hours. It was black outside when I thanked my friend and started to my own home. The moon came out and cast weird shadows on the sand. This was due to the drifting storm clouds. The wind was calmed, and the Whitecaps got smaller and smaller until all was once again calm. The wind, the rain, the waves - they had all gone back somewhere to the sea. There the waves would remain until the next storm was ready to bring them back in. H21 DESIRE VITALINE O,CONNELL, Class XII The sea lay calm, In blue opacity, Surrounded By the sooty darkness. Only the few rays, ' Like little golden lingers Beckoned me on To this liquid density. I ran, stumbling Down the rocky path Until I reached the depth And blueness of the sea. Its azure Shimmering in the last sunlight. It slapped against my legs Washing My torn and bloody knees. Reaching down, I caught up its lilmy thickness Into my hands And gazed with Wonder into those magicidrops. I saw then That they were Colorless and coldg Not blue and deep, But pale and lusterless In my palms. Then I knew That the sea was mine No more. 7 74 THE ATTACK LOULIE HYDE, Class XII . . . And suddenly his mind was black. Yet as thoughts were found, Each, revolving faster than the one before, Left its color. Twirling, senseless, chaotic - All reason Was lost: in his Now red, flaming Swirl of revenge. REMEMBERINGS NANCY FAUST, Class XII Love is like a Hame, Rising and falling according to fuel, And then, one day, extinguished, But burning brightly enough So that the still-Warm ashes Warm hearts. Love is like a lovely bird, Which is wild and restless and hard to hold VVhich takes flight, But Whose image Lingers in the memory And quickens the senses. Love is like gold, Whose brightness and shine are dazzling And wear off with age, But Whose Worth is just as great Because love is, most of all, Eternal. VIOLINIST FAITH LEARNED, Class XII His fierce eyes soften as the lights grow dim And the sound ofa breeze whispering in the leaves Rises - and falls to a shivering silence. Then the transparent hand with pale green veins Draws the bow, slowly, toward the other world And the sensitive mouth that twitches at the corner Forgets the broken mirror and the pain .... Somewhere a girl is laughing, laughing, laughing As a red leaf Hutters to the ground - A mountain goat poised at the edge of a rock, And a swirling pool of darkness in the night - The lost child wailing and the fright - The bow moves fast like a serpent's angry tongue Till the pearls of perspiration glow against his skin. But the music stops and a gentleman coughs. The applause rises up till the hands start to sting, And cynically smiling he gives a little bow. QTomorrow they'll laugh and say that lim ugly.l And the last hope limps to the door. Out on the street the voices return And a rat scurries off into darkness. 7 HALLOWE'EN SUSAN SAFFORD, Class XI The spirit of I-Iallowe'en permeates the dark, moonless night as the jack-o-lanterns beam from every window and ghosts and little pirates sneak from house to house in search of treasure. For this is October 31, the night when small children roam abroad at late hours to scare and to be scared. Shadowy midgets ring doorbells and hands snatch candy from in- dulging adults. Skeletons rattle and owls hoot as children clutch each other with beating hearts and excited whispers. Then an adult's restraining voice breaks the fantasy and the children are hurried home to bed, grasping paper bags of booty and voicing brave thoughts of next I-Iallowe,en. THE BEAUTIFUL HOUSE JUDITH FAUST, Class IX The house which I saw, just as a person passing and enjoying old re- membrances, was dark and dreary. It didn't seem alive, not serving its purpose of pride and happiness. The paint was chipped, and the wood was decaying in spots, which gave the house a general look of severeness and incongruity with the nearby neighborhood. My spirits lowered while I came to this spot, I hadn't remembered it in this way, and I didn't want to change my memories with this forlorn sight of a once great house. Who lived in the house now? VVas it neat in its own beautiful poor way? Or was it sadly neglected? I thought of walking up to it and knocking on the door, I thought of seeing the house and the people inside once more. I would go in the house and find everyone happy, friendly, and just as I remembered them. The house would change inside, the atmosphere would be peaceful and serene. The kind family would ask me to stay and enjoy their hospitality, to remember other days. I would be a great friend of the family then, I would come often and always be welcome. Perhaps the shrub- bery and plants that I remembered would be planted again, perhaps the house would be painted and the big, bold gate put to use once more. Then I could sit on the big porch and remember the past, live for today, or dream of the future, by just looking around and seeing the old familiar spots that I have always loved. Everyone passing then would look at the house and smile and be happy. Children would play on the big, green lawns, and the neighborhood would visit often. I left the house, the big, great, beautiful house, as it was before, and I never did go in. After all, the house wasn't ours anymore. IMI RECIPE FOR CHRISTMAS CAKE ANN MIRABILE, Class XII Mix thoroughly: Several dozen well used Christmas carols, Sung by choirs in rustling churches, Or by festive carolers passing by, Bedecked with falling snowg A solemn Christmas pageant With little children as angels, Their halos often slipping off, I small creche, made by reverent hands, Many little known shops warmly lit by kindness, With special presents just made for very special peopleg I crisp, cold, starry, Winter sky at night. Add: 1 cup of the delicious suspense of secret surprises To make it rise, The fragrance of Christmas trees, And red-bowed wreathes, for spiceg For cherries and raisins and nuts, 3 cups of Christmas lights That shine over busy city streets And in friendly windows of bustling houses. Bake slowly In the warmth of Christmas smiles, Cfor many weeksj. Frost with Freshly fallen, perfect crystal snowflakes, And always serve with The friendly feeling found at Christmas time, To preserve it through the year. l 77 SIMILE OF THE SEA BARBARA MCBRIDE, Class XII Pounding - The incessant roar of the ocean - The rising and falling Sea foam. Memories come rolling Up the beach of my thoughts, Washing ashore The seaweed of tangled dreams. Love and Hate Are weary seagulls, Flying away, Leaving a desolate, lost And empty shell. J U s T o N E W 1 S H BETSY PECK, Class VIII IfI had the privilege of having just one wish granted, I would wish that for one day in our lives we would be deprived of sight, of our ability to hear and smell, and ofthe wonder of touch. Just one morning the sun- shine peeking under the window would not greet us as we awake. We would not see the sunbeams making patterns on the floor, or the old worn bedspread, or the familiar cracks in the ceiling. The sound of birds quarrel- ing over some choice tid-bit would not reach our ears. We would not hear the paper boy giving the paper a carefree toss on the front porch. We would be deprived of the sweet fragrance of flowers and the smell of the warm brown earth after a summer rain. We would be numb to the gentle breeze blowing through our legs. If these things we take for granted were taken away from us for just one day out of our long lives, maybe we would realize what miracles God has given us. l78l A SILVER DROP LANNY PEPPER, Class VII Slowly slides the silver dropg Watch it fall on the stalagmite top. Silver droplet, architect, Limestone pillars you erect. Drop by drop, grain by grain, And for endless years the same, Majestic cathedral underground, Built from a tiny droplet round. A SILVER RAINDROP GAY MOORE, Class VII The air was moist and heavy with the fragrance of pine, for the spring rain had stopped but a few minutes earlier. A tiny silver raindrop clung to a budded twig, trying desperately to keep its hold. At last, however, its weight became too heavy and it dropped with a tiny splash to the clear for- est pool below, sending tiny ripples to the moss-covered shores. A NOVEMBER EVENING BETTY GORDON, Class IX The hush of night is slowly closing in, The cornstalks, standing black below the hills, Now barren and deprived of green and leaf, Spring forth with beauty of Godls dying world. The furry rabbits scamper to their young, The scarlet sky sinks lower in the earth, And leaves behind a soft and purple hue, To mingle quiet with the coming night. l79l So C I T Y L I G H T S ANN VVHITMAN, Class XI I There is a sad loneliness in city lights, A thoughtful loneliness in their soft glow Seen from a bleak window High above the city's silent streets. The wailing of a mournful trumpet Faintly wings its way on the soft breeze From the tenement below. A taxi horn far in the distance Echoes the city's empty loneliness. The lights shed deep shadows on The stark buildings, giving Their outlined forms a look of mystery, And yet of majesty and awe, You feel their power and their cruelty, VVhile the lights spread their gentle radiance Over the distant and lonely streets. II There is a compelling gaiety in city lights, A gaiety that calls to the stranger With a restless nostalgia, That beckons men to forget, in Their frantic whirl of brilliance. The lights sing from cabaret signs, Inviting as the laughter from within. The blurred flash of a subway in the night, Hurrying through the darkness in its urgency, The endless streams of tragic headlights, Noisily plowing their way through the Dense jungle where only the Httest survive, This is the constant movement of the city In its restless searching for something firm, I-Iiding its unconscious insecurity Behind its lights of false gaiety. EMOTION PAGE PHELPS, Class XII Emotion is a burst oflaughter, As a sail is a balloon When a sudden gust of wind comes. Emotion is depression, As a balloon is nothing When pricked by the point of a pin. Emotion is joy, As a wave is large When swollen from the inner ocean. Emotion is a burst of tears, As the sky is rain When a cloud is suddenly broken. WINTER MAGIC SMEDLEY CHAPMAN, Class X I sit in front of my bedroom window caught in the magic of the first winter snowfall. A few small, delicate Hakes come Boating through the air and land on the warm moist earth to vanish immediately. The white particles settle on my windowsill as if it was only there for that purpose. As they drift towards the window, I can see the intricate pattern of each Hake. Each one is a paragon of design. Blown about by gusts of wind they keep coming, seeming to multiply as they reach the earth. The sidewalks, covered with a thin white crust, look like slabs of chalk surrounded by green grass. Even the bare, desolate maple tree has a thin outline of white like another layer of bark. Coming in greater number and force every minute, they begin to make the tall blades of grass almost invisible. Now the air seems to be overflowing with snowflakes going everywhere at once. A small boy, wearing a blue snowsuit, trudges down the street carrying a shovel twice his size. A brown and white spotted dog bounds along beside him, hardly visible through the snowhlled air .... Now everything is covered with snow. WH A PINE PANELED EVENING PAMELA CONNOLLY, Class XI Firelight painting on a mirrored wall, Dry apple logs spitting sparks to the ashes, Sparkling frost creeping over window panes, A pewter platter glowing from soft lamplight, Shadows of familiar Hgures on the ceiling - All molding a serene, enclosing atmosphere. Mellow pipe smoke encircling a lamp, Marshmallows toasting over an open fire, I-Iazy fire smoke crawling into the air, Spicy perfume floating after its owner, Fleecy popcorn spilling melted butter - All molding a serene, enclosing atmosphere. Mahogany chestnuts popping their shells into cinders, Friendly voices joining in pleasant conversation, An open shutter banging with the wind, Piano music lulling the dreamers to sleep, Tinkling glasses meeting in warm toasts - All molding a serene, enclosing atmosphere. BREVITY IS THE SGUL GF WIT HOPE JOHNSON, Class XII We spent one summer in a small Maine village on a lake. We lived in one of several tiny cottages clustered on a sheltered cove. The day after we arrived I asked my next-door neighbor about a good grocery store. She told me that there was only one. It's that little general store at the end of the green on the main floor of the red house. She said, It's run by a man and his wife who are very pleasant. The man never says a word, but his wife chatters like a magpief' An hour later I was in the little store. I asked the man for some butter, bacon, bread, and eggs, which he got for me wordlessly. I-Ie added the prices up on the cash register, and nodded thanks when I paid him the amount indicated by the machine. 0ur transaction went on with the sound of l32l constant chatter in the background. The man's wife was waiting on another customer and was informing him at one time about the morning's news, the weather expected during the summer, and the town's history. It's strange, I thought, as I left the store, they seem to balance each other. I-Ie really doesn't say a word. Maybe he's a mute. That's too bad. During the next few weeks I visited the store several times. Each time I was waited on by the man, there was a wordless Con his partj transaction. The few times I was waited on by his wife, however, I felt that I was hearing the gossip of a dozen sewing circles condensed and mixed with all the facts in the World Almanac. The last time I went into the store for provisions the man filled my order. As he was putting my supplies in a bag, I noticed that I could hear the paper rustle. The store seemed strangely quiet. I looked to the other end of the store where his wife was filling another customer's order. She wasn't saying a word! I must have looked very surprised by her silence, for the man smiled and said clearly, laryngitis and returned to his former silence. NIGHT KATHLEEN JOHNSON, Class XII The purple-blue cloak of evening settles sadly over the hills. The old man puts out his pipe and sighs. Another day of his life has swiftly passed. The frightening black of the night quickly hides the hills. The young boy puts his scattered toys to bed. It's time to sleep and rest for another day of play. The deep blue velvet of twilight gently surrounds the hills. The young woman wraps a stole around bare shoulders. For her the magic of the day has just begun. E831 r N 1 P P - Y Bitter, Susan C.
