To each class these buildings are much more than just wood or stone, they are companions and friends. They have watched us and heard us as we have studied for classes, complained about homework, and copied assign- ments. They have been with us while we played basketball games, painted sets for plays, and practised for commence- ment. Yet, while these walls have housed all the obvious activities, they have also fostered within the school an in- tangible spirit that makes us want to go on. They have given their silent approval as we worked to conquer our- selves, to build an effective school government, to fight a good fight, and Hto run a straight racef' Although these buildings can never tell us what we should or should not do, they radiate an inexplicable force, not through their blue or green paint, but through the spirit and comrade- ship they represent - a force that makes us aware of our faults and wrongdoings. Then, in silence, they watch us try to correct ourselves and to become better adapted to living together. The walls of the old buildings have looked down on many classes in this procession, and the addition of new walls assures us that Oxford will live on to watch and hear and teach many more like ourselves. We therefore thank you who have given this building to us. l4l . XS f.fnKA41',R'4' e 1. yyyigrfhlczvsk' w..1 im i -, , yfgf W ' Jim A if E was H ew iw, fi?- Qf'. I A ASQ. -I f .

When We Were Vey 1' oung In the few years we have known Trina, we have come to love her smile. It is symbolic of Trina and expressive of a mischievous gaiety that not everyone is aware of Trina is even able to look at problems with a smile and with an unassuming attitude which helps with any solution.

Eighteen girls in the new semi-uniform of gray skirts and white blouses were greeted the Hrst day of school in 1950 by Miss Carlisle and Mikey. The number of students was increased when Bea Lodge entered the class after Christ- mas Vacation. Monday was animal day, when each girl had a chance to bring in her favorite dog or cat. Golden Retrievers seemed to be especially popular. The groans and moans heard on Friday mornings came from the two-period math class in the porch room. The day a certain fire engine went by and the night of the Junior O.S.A. Dance were the two most exciting moments of the year. Crossing busy Prospect Avenue daily for classes proved a challenge to the Sevens, but, luckily for both pedestrians and drivers, there were no fatalities. OP - Rm. 12 - Eighth Grade wears red sweaters to Chapel. Miss Gibney insisted on keeping detailed notes of the antics in study hall. The class booth at the Fair consisted of turtle racing and a bowling alley, both of which were very profitable. The Junior O.S.A. Dance was 'fold stuffy by this time, but everyone had a good time with their Kingswood, etc. dates. Mrs. McGuinn and Miss Storrs took the class of twenty-two to New York on March 1 to see c'The Greatest Show on Earthn. In the Spring the class proudly became members of the Oxford School As- I4 sociation and thus ended the year successfully. OP - Rm. 5 - Lipstick, becomes an essential part of the semi-uniform. This year the class especially enjoyed a trip to Amherst College to see UA Midsummer Nightls Dream . The production was highly praised by all. Undiscovered talent was revealed in 'iYou Canit Take It With You through Sally's portrayal of Alice. The Nines' first upper school dance Qwithjiwmal gownsj was A Tropical Cruise , and this unusual atmosphere was responsible for the enjoyable evening for the class and their dates. Priscilla, singing one of the lead parts, and the other new members of Glee Club took part in an opera, f'The Lowland Sean. A television set was imported into the gym, but alas! only for a day. The students enjoyed watching President Eisenhower's in- auguration. The four new Dance Club members, Cynnie, Heidi, Sandy, and Pat proved to be very successful as Indians, pioneers, and congress- men in f'The Eccentricities of Davy Crockettn. On April 30 Cynnie, Heidi, Bea and Mrs. Lodge were the stars of a dance program. At the end of the year Bea gave a swimming party for the entire school. Then the class became sophomores as their sister class became seniors. OP - Rm. 3 - As sophomores living up to the name of 'iwise fools , this class was really on the sticki' and not 'gout of itf' The class added Boots, Nancy Page, and Penny to their number, and lost Eunie. With their favorite expressions and ability to keep the teachers on the run, they had a gay year, while producing several budding young actresses, Nancy Austin, Alice, Pam, and Sandy Travis. The fall dance was preceded by a dinner party at Sandy Martinls, each girl contributing a part of the meal. In the spring the class enter- tained again by giving the Seniors a picnic and swim at Hampsted Hill accompanied by bridge, games, and music. OP - Rm. 8 - This reporter found a group of girls on the third floor who were in extremely good health after climbing long flights of stairs each morning with an armload of books. They were the last class to make this climb to their homeroom. Pam and Bea were missing, but Trina was added to the class. The girls were indeed proud of their talented car- toonist, Nancy Austin, for their turn in editing CHAT. Many turned into ski fans after a memorable trip to Bromley in February with Miss Bartlett and Mrs. Diaz. Their en- thusiasm for this sport was followed by a great ascent on Stowe during the spring vacation. After vacation, the Bermuda section of the class were whistling tunes of the Talbot Brothers. Work restricted play, especially with a succession of papers that the girls claim they will never forget. There was some doubt as to whether they would become Seniors when only one, Sandy Travis, made the honor roll. But they did become Seniors in l41l l a mad rush after Class Night to look out the lounge windows on those be- low, and at Lonnyis luncheon after commencement, there were awed ex- clamations of 'cGosh, weire Seniors! OP - Lounge - A great change had befallen the school when the class entered as Seniors. A new building and many new faculty members had been added, with their new rank, a large responsibility fell on each mem- ber ofthe class. Connie entered, and Penny left. At the Old-Girl-New- Girl party the new Senior Class sang their memories of the past five years, and realized that there was only one more year to go. Then Betty ex- claimed, HSomebody said, 'Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow our life is throughf to which Cynnie replied, 'fBut try to do that a month before a month-long paper is due. HBermuda skirt Saln continued to fill up the tardy book, the NOcto-pipersw were formed, and a new fad was in- troduced- chignons. During Christ- mas vacation, the girls were happy to see Eunie and Bobbie Deeds again at a luncheon that Eunie gave, and to see Bea again at a tea that Lucy gave for her. Many comments on the past and present were heard, like 'just think, this is the last time we're ever going to take part in the Carol Servicef' while many words were used in discussing and worrying about educational futures. Mid-year exams passed among relieved sighs, and 'fthe word now was 'cIfI can only make it successfully to spring vacation. They all made it. They even made it to Class Night and an unforgettable Commencement.

ITH BRAINERD, XI SHIRLEY HAMPTON, IX A little boy without a care. Dark tanned cheeks and a freckled nose, And a smile that is true to all that it knows. The world is to him as big as the farm, And his church, and his school, And his grandmotherls charm: Yet he whistles the tune of a summer day, And a little boy's thoughts that are far, far away. NANCY MIDDLEBROOK, XI l56l THE JOURNEY HOME The day was hot and dry again, as it had not rained in three weeks. The ancient railroad station looked ever dustier and more lifeless, and since it was no longer a pas- senger station, no one seemed to take care of it. The city in which it was located was no longer prosperous, as it had grown smaller and smaller compared to the new, modern cities that were expanding all over the country. Because of this, the station was just used for unloading small supplies for the city. The sharp whistle blew, and the freight train came to a screechy stop, sending steam and sparks flying between the wheels and the tracks. Five men, who had the job of un- loading the train, descended, and started their work. Unnoticed was a small mangy dog who climbed up from a few broken boards under the station. He was a skinny mongrel who had been born in the station, and had lived, or I might say half-lived,', there for the two years of his life. Since his mother had died, and his sisters and brothers either were killed or had run away, he was the only dog who lived around the station. He stretched, yawned, and trotted over shyly to the men. He sat for about five minutes looking at them hungrily, with his dark brown eyes covered with miscellaneous hairs jutting from his brow, expecting, maybe, a scrap of food. When one man started toward him, the little dog cowered down on the ground, and put his tail between his legs. The man was carrying a big crate, apparently taking it to the main building of the station. He was huge in size and had small, piercing eyes which did not make the pup feel any too happy. The gigantic man kicked the mongrel hard in the ribs and shouted, Get out of my way, you mangy muttlv The poor little dog hurried away, limping and yelping. He quickly ducked into his home and lay there whimpering. After the train left, the pup made his everyday rounds of the station, looking for garbage or something to eat. He finally found an orange peel and ate it hungrily and willingly. He then lay down in his usual hard bed and fell asleep. The next day was foggy and humid, the first wet weather in three weeks. The small dog's stomach was hungry, as usual, and he longed for something to eat. When the train pulled into the station, the mongrel lay in his bed, shaking. When the men descended from the train, he heard their footsteps come closer and closer. Then he heard a soft gentle voice saying, ':Here, pup, come here, fella. Where did you say he was, Joe? I really would love to see him, especially when my daughter,s birthday is com- ing along, and he would be a pretty handy present. I can't imagine that other guy kick- ing the poor dog. Ijust couldnit make myself do a thing like that! 4'He was here yesterdayf' Joe replied, I just donit understand where he's dis- appeared to. Then they saw two big brown eyes peer out from under the station. The man finally coaxed the little dog up to him. The little thing wagged his tail and rolled over. Isn't he a cute little devil?7' asked the man. The train lurched and started on its journey home . . . MARTHA MooRE, IX l67l MY WITCH Tonight when the moon is sailing high, And the broomstick set invades the sky, I'm expecting, as the wee ghosts moan, The only witch Iive ever known. She'll be small, but fierce and hissing, Complete with broom and front teeth missing, QThe latter quite appropriate For witches who are under eightj. Though I suspect her small black cat Is earthbound, I'll not mention that. Tonight I'll be convinced that soon They'll rise and sweep across the moon. LINDA MOONEY, XI NEW YORK CITY Buses, subways, taxicabs too, I'rn so confused, I don,t know what to clog Such a mob of people there, And oh, where is my trolley fare? Fifth Avenue stores and Broadway shows, It seems where I go, everyone goes, Oh, to be home in my quiet bed. But then what thought keeps coming to my head. And it, as you most probably know, Is when shall we be able to go Back to New York and the exciting fury, Of everyone being in such a hurry? ' I want to go back to the thrilling fun Of crowded buses, people on the run, To all the confusion of getting around, When the transportation is underground. Fd like to go shopping and then away To another wonderful musical play, And when I really must catch my train, When, alas, it's time to leave again, I'll try to be very happy and cheerful, And leave that city with one last earful, Of the noise, of the glamour that is New York! NELIA REYNOLDS, IX i681 TRUE MODESTY The red rose, in the crystal bud-vase on a table in the drawing-room, was the ob- ject of each guest's attention. They admired the petals of the rose, which seemed Haw- less, and its apparent unvarying deep red color. The leaves were not just glossy as roses' leaves usually are, they looked as if they had been carefully oiled to shine when one ray of light passed over them. Some people were affected emotionally by this evidently un- paralleled flower, for they observed it in speechless awe. A hush came over the group, and except for a few sighs or soft superlatives, the room could have been empty of people. One of the guests, however, was not as impressed as his friends were with this red jewel. In an opposite corner of the room, he was studying closely a milky lavender African violet in a small drinking glass. Each petal was finely cut, evenly shaded, and unblemished. The visible part of the stamens was a small section of the filament sup- porting a deep yellow anther in the shape of a golden bead. The man marveled at the beauty of this exquisite blossom. The hostess noticed that he was regarding the violet, and approached him. After he expressed his feelings of admiration for the flower, the hostess spoke at length of her appreciation for his taste. Finally, she denounced the rest of her guests for their ridiculous behavior concerning the rose, which, as the man had perceived, was artificial. The synthetic rose is like a falsely modest person. Modesty is a quality which gifted people have either artificially or naturally. The majority of the guests were fooled by the rose, as most people are impressed with the individual who tries to appear lowly when he is extremely accomplished. The thoughts of this over-modest person probably would be occupied with plans for ways of appearing humble. The easiest way is to denounce oneself and one's feat. The individual's modesty appears Hawless, like the rose petals, and it does not vary, as the deep red color did not. His self-demeaning speech usually causes the public to murmur and sigh and commend him. When they are so impressed, his plan is a success, and it might become natural for him to be artificial. Like the African violet, the truly modest person is unobtrusive, Yet, when one per- son begins to notice this humble individual, the person discovers that the other's fine and admirable character is just as outstanding as his feats. Everyone does not notice this gifted individual. He does not denounce himself publicly, or if he does, the words are not planned. The violet is made by nature, who creates the flower as a mystery to man The rose is planned by man who knows exactly how it will look when it is a finished product. When the guests found out that the rose was not real, they were surprised, and some were angry because they had been deceived. The modest individual, like the violet, is an enigma to most people. When, however, his fine character is discovered by others, the revelation is exciting and wonderful. MARY ELLEN BLUMENFELD, XII l69l A JOB I am relaxed, the sun is bright, The atmosphere peaceful -no one in sight. The sky is blue and the beach is warm. The rippling water has tranquil charm. And then I hear them - now they come. At first theylre only a distant hum. Then a bright-colored worm starts squirming downhill With a wiggling body that cannot keep still. Soon theyire upon me, they scream and beg And yell Last one in is a rotten egglv Galloping into the water each goes, All legs and arms - all lingers and toes. Now the water has lost its tranquil mood And is splashing and slapping like Fun's own food. Bathing caps bobbing like ears of a pup, All heads that go under must also come up. One head goes under- I jump from my seat, I rush to the water with not enough feet- A rescue, a scolding, a comfort, a toy, And one very frightened poor little boy. What's coming next? I've had too much Of ducking and fighting and pushing and such, Boys' ruining castles and pulling blond curls. Why is it they have to tease little girls? They fight, and there seems to be never an end, And they stubbornly tell me which side to defend. A call for dinner- the end of a day- Laden with toys they make their way Like the bright-colored worm who has had his fill And now slowly wiggles back up the hill. Again I'm relaxed, the sun is low, The atmosphere peaceful - a silent blow. The sky is blue and the beach still warm. The rippling water has tranquil charm. U01 LINDA MYERS, XI THE FLOOD Then she came. With a flash the narrow silver band broke out of her binding, and like a runaway colt, reared and bolted across the pastures and meadows. She became a raging torrent of water and destroyed everything in her path. No tree or person was left untouched, as with a nervous hand she beckoned the streams and brooks to follow her course to the sea. And like sheep, they came. They swept onwards towards the ocean in an anxious race. Then, when she had tired of her folly, she slowly returned to her bed, to wait until the desire to roam should seize her again. ELIZABETH C. WIESEL, IX 'CAPRIUS WON When dear April now with sweetening showers Halts piercing winds so as to bless the flowers, And frees the sap in each and every vine, Blossoms draw life's blood from falling rain, When warm west-winds afloat on gentle breeze Attended Helds whose budding crops and trees Show their thanks by bending toward the sun, Who beams, scorns March, glad that April's won, Twittering songsters, awaiting through the night, Burst forth in melody to greet the light, The same that biddens little warblers so Now makes men on pilgrimages go. JANE WRIGHT, X I Translated fam Chaucerk Pro!ogue j THE MORNING As the sun rises the foundation ofa day is being built. Like a house, the morning, being the foundation, determines what is to come next. The pattern of a house is built upon the base, and so the day is built on the example of one's disposition and dreams, good or bad, in the morning. A bad beginning predicts a gloomy day, but if you start the day right, it will not sink like a house built on sand. Lois WILLIAMS, VII U11 NOSTALGIA Memories, Like waves - Ripple along the shore Of my mind, Uncovering Past emotions. My heart Feels a moment of sadness, Realizing How much has been lost- Locked in the book Of the past, Still to be read, But never recaptured Completely. JULIETTE ANTHONY, XI ONE STEP TOWARDS INDIVIDUALISM I watch in agony the ants about Their lives of organized complexity, Adamant and furious they work, I take a weary cynic's point of view, How clever God to instigate a plan Of ritualed bliss and dull conformity, They tread in other's steps and hurry on But never stop and wonder why they run. I smile and sigh at busy men and ants Whose patterned lives are woven perfectly. Somewhere the air is fresh and beautiful, I step upon the luckless, thoughtless ant And leave the crowded mountain far behind. V21 ELIZABETH GORDON, XII THE TIDES BEACH Low-tide on the dawn beach told no stories, the beach was too flat and unbroken to speak. But the sun had been up just long enough to rouse people from sleep and send them down to the beach to make patterns of footmarks in the sands. Little girl footprints and a pair of adult prints stopped at the high-tide mark, while the owner of the little footprints ran around an old dead horseshoe crab, snapped sea- weed beads and dropped them into piles again, and collected Cand dugj shells for her own sandy pockets and more for the sagging pockets of the big footprints. More foot- prints led down to the wet brown sand, which hadn't been uncovered long enough by the tide waters to have been bleached by the sun, and disappeared into the ebbing tide. Down by the tide waters there was a margin between the sea water and the bleached sand so that footsteps seemed to disappear into nowhere. The complex pattern of hurrying feet corrugated the sands. As the sun paled the sand and tanned the owners of the prints, thirsty folk's footsteps trod a path towards the refreshment stand, hot-dog napkins left faint Finger-like nails where they had skimmed along the sand. The longer the shadows of the human prints grew, the more sand-piper prints could be seen. The sand-pipers' prints ran around in confused circles and geometrical designs as though looking for scraps of food left by the careless hot-dog eaters. The sand-pipers, small prints criss-crossed an old manls footsteps along the water's edgeg some prints were missing from the pattern where the waves had licked the shores. The heels of the long, spindly footsteps were dug in harder and made deeper shadows than the toes, which were just a faint row of polka-dots. At low-tide the black and brown snails had left trails like fingerprints zig-zagging across the wet sands and the footprints of the sand-pipers. The coming of high-tide on the dusk beach will tell no stories, the beach will return to the tide. PHYLLIS B.

MARY ELLEN BLUMENFELD, XII THE SPQUTING OF THE WHALE King Norwhallon was once a ruler of Crete. He would not listen to anyone except his servant Monecaron. Together they forced strict laws upon the people and did what- ever they pleased. King Norwhallon was an old man. He was forever speaking in a pompous manner which annoyed the Cretans immensely. He beheaded the people who criticized his ways, or he threw them into the lions, den. He forced the men to work for him and the women were to entertain him. If they didn't obey his orders, their punish- ment would be death. The people pleaded secretly with the gods of the heavens. They wanted the powers of their king destroyed. No one respected him and they all lived in fear and misery because of him. The gods sympathized with the helpless mortals and they decided to destroy his powers on the land. One morning when King Norwhallon was criticizing his slaves, he vanished into the air. The people were astonished and thought he had developed powers in magic. They never saw their king again and were both happy and afraid. They were sure death would come and swallow them since they had prayed against their king. King Norwhallon had really been transformed into an enormous monster. He swam the seas and frightened the small fish. He was now the king of the sea and the gods re- ferred to him as the whale. If you ever go deep-sea fishing, you may chance to see a whale. If you look carefully you can see him spouting hot air which looks like water. This represents the king who had once spouted at his people. The Cretans now lived a life free from the fear of strict laws and punishment. POLLY BANFIELD, VIII l74l THE BATTLE OF BLOSSOM VALLEY PART I The sun hung high in the cloudless sky, glowing yellow-orange through the hazy film that hung like a shroud over the valley. The air was still -not a single breeze skipped through the long grass. The daisies and buttercups stood motionless, drinking in the hot sun. One tired bee buzzed lazily from flower to flower, and the glistening coils of a lethargic snake lay curled on a flat rock. Even the little brook Howed sluggishly between its banks, reduced by long weeks of drought. An unreal hush lay over the valley: the great quiet of an audience awaiting the rise of the curtain. PART II Suddenly the haze shattered and split, as if smitten by some unknown hand. Dense rolls of gray smoke billowed forth, milling and churning, stampeding across the sky. A bright tongue of orange leaped from behind the high hill, like a distress flare from a sinking ship. A great wall of brilliant heat rose to the crest of the hill, illuminating the sky with a ghostly glow. Down the hill it came, like an attacking army, marching on and on, indestructible, unstoppable. Greedy fingers reached out and seized the trees, strangling them. Fiery feet trod on the once-green grass, on the once-beautiful flowers, then they strode on down the valley. PART III Little spirals of smoke rose from the black earth, wafted upwards by the cool breeze. Charred skeletons of once mightly trees lay on the ground. There were no birds to sing !there was funeral song for the dead. Destruction had come and gone -the enemy had withdrawn. The long-wanted rain came, falling gently down upon the charred and blackened remains of the valley- a healing hand, bringing promise of a new life. LINDA Ckoss, IX l75l A SPECIAL PLACE On a rock by the shore just big enough for one, I perched when I was small, Beneath the summer sun. I heard the salty sea Pound against the sand, And watched it roll up on the beach Like Hngers of a hand. FZ! not feel the sand again Ground between my toes, Each year the sea made changes, And moved my rock a bit. But I never really minded- just a different place to sit To watch the floating clouds, Hurried on their way By sudden summer breezes, Which never let them stay. Or watch the gray-green ocean While in and out it goes. Now I lead a hurried life Far too full for that, But I hope another little boy Sits now where I once sat. JULIETTE ANTHONY, XI TI-IE WIND Tearing at my window pane Prowling past my door, I heard it then There - again 'Tis the ever shrieking wind Rolling . . . Tossing . . . Seething like a howling ocean. O'er the battered eaves above Whooping as a brave, I heard it then There - again The thrill of wailing gale Heaving . . . Sighing. . . As does the dying roe. Oh, that I could be the wind Free as free could be, I heard it then There - again Yowling, moaning, savage mass Roaring . . . Biting . . . Foam-specked tiger in its wrath. l76l MARTHA HATCH, VII AUTUMN OCTOBER Autumn is the time of Indian summer, when the air is filled with the strange melodies of whispered conversation between every leaf and every needle of the woods, along the roadside the dust settles on the fences, and the rocks of the pastures await an October evening when the chimney's smoke will ascend peacefully to join the kindred clouds above. The morning sun brings the sparrows to flit amid the sallows, bursting with the coming of a new day. The hillside forest is all aglow along its edge 5 soon the flames will leap upwards to the top of the tallest trees. The sunshine harmonizes with the embrowned and fiery foliage against the cold-slate of the mountains. A great part of the pine needles have fallen now, leaving a pale brown carpet. The chestnut leaves rustle with great noise as the chestnuts burst from their shells to fall amidst the soft cushion below. Alongside, the shallow streams are bright and sparkling, reflecting the shadows of the sun from their bottoms. NOVEMBER The landscape is now barren of objects. A purple haze shades the mountains. At one time the clouds were softly and delicately rippled like the ripple marks on the sand. But now they are cold and bleak, as winter is close at hand. The rivers are smooth as polished silver in the bare and bleached crust of the earth. It is now peacefully quiet as the earth is restoring its strength for the new year. JANICE CIANCI, IX SOLITUDE A foghorn pricked the silence of the night, As paths of moonlight gently rocked the waves Where dippers poured their starry liquid, bright With bubbles blown from pipes of secret caves. A wispy smoke of surf crept towards the path, And seized it with a furious grasp of rage, Then sulked away- a quiet aftermath. A bullfrog broke the stillness of his cage Of swamp reeds, and a bellow low and dry The musky air did crack: his floating encore, A lily pad, to watch life drifting by In winds, and storms, and calms-a being alone. Contented I to sit in peace and brood, And savour all my thoughts of solitude. BECKETT BANFIELD, XI l77l CI-IEERLESS WIND O wind of the north, cold, heartless, Phantom of the ominous night, Look down from your high-blown kingdom, Down on this world, sleeping light. God of your realm, implacable man, With frigid breath and frosty hair, Rush past our small, secluded town. Go back to your lair, Be Gone, Be Gone I CHARLOTTE BUCK, IX LOW AND FRIGHTENING Have you ever sat looking out the window, watching and listening to the eerie eHfect of the wind, especially on a stratocumulus day when the trees are bare? Although you are safe within your house, weird chills ascend and descend your spine. You feel the wind piercing through you as if you were standing out in it. Is this not because you are listening to the strange stories the wind seems to tell? The low scary howl plainly threatens the very house you are in, and molests your soul. It is hard to listen to the wind without a feeling of guilt, as if the wind with its wisdom knew your deeds. Then while deep in thought your imagination abruptly shatters with the flapping of a loose shutter. That too is driven by the wind as your imagination is. You try to leave your seat, but are unable to move, for the wind then sounds like the voice of a ruthless judge telling you that if your conscience were free, you would not try to escape judgment. So you sit, miserable and frightened, listening to the eerie effects of the wind. ANITA STREETER, VII MORNING As Mr. Wind was blowing down the stairs to the breakfast table, Mrs. Wind was saying, Dear, what would you like to eat? Oh, I think I will have three poached shirts fresh off a clothesline, a battered flag spread with jelly, and a glass of sleetf' Mrs. Wind spent quite a time painstakingly following her husband's instructions. Pleased with herself, she brought it all to the table and spread it out before him. She suddenly felt a draft and when she looked up, with a whoosh he was gone. MIMI GoRDoN, VII l73l THE WIND The wind was raging through the streets, Whipping, whining, howling The wind was churning up the sea, Swishing, rushing, scowling. Up and down and all around the wind was beating wild, Ripping, tearing, dornineering The wind was screaming like a child, Screeching, yelling, howling. All at once the night was silent, Quieting, still, clearing The dawn was coming, but not violent, Peacefully, softly, cheering. JEANIE STONER, VII MORNING The night passes, leaving a fiery red cloak rising behind the blue-green ocean where all is tranquil and silent. A ship in the distance with its pure white sail left flapping ad- mires the beautiful morning as it rests on the glistening ocean. The snowy-gray sea gulls soar gracefully in the air as they search for food among the spray-beaten rocks. The waves at low tide lap gently along the shores of a sandy beach festooned with shadowy dunes. The morning so brisk leaves a scent of freshness which makes birds chirp happily in their mud-lined nests and makes the hearts of everyone blithe and gay. BETTINA BATTERSON, VII THE OASIS O, pour your waters from those jagged pools To wash my livid soul in cool sweet bliss, For I have journeyed long upon a kiss Where desert suns do scorch the hearts of fools. My sands are hot and parch the memories Which time has stamped in circles on my mind, Disperse these torrid thoughts, and leave behind This sun, these dunes, for rest in gentler lees.
