By working together day after day under the same roof, we have developed a friendly and co-operative spirit, a spirit of unity which is an active part of our school life. This spirit of unity has been essential to us at Oxford. The value of the close relationships between students and faculty mem- bers, our service to the community, our school government- some of the things that make Oxford so dear to us-would be lost without this spirit. Unity is not, however, the same thing as uniformity. Although we pride ourselves on the unity inherent in our system of self-government, we also pride ourselves on the individual qualities of the girls who work in harmony with that self-government. This spirit of unity has been the prevailing atmosphere as we have worked together in our classes and extra-curricular activities and productions. To the Seniors, the lounge is a symbol of unity: as personalities have unfolded and problems have been solved there, the unity of the group has been strengthened. The lounge for many years has seen Senior classes striving to budget their time and striving ultimately to reach their goals. It is no wonder, there- fore, that the Senior year in the lounge is one final step in our education here at Oxford before we go our own ways. Truly the spirit of unity that we have developed at Oxford will help us to be better citizens of our community in future years.

I'll be back, never fear. THE POND ON A SUMMER'S DAY BECKETT BANFIELD, XII Two gulls appear against a clouded sky, To slice the air with beatings of their wings, And shred the tattered breezes as they fly. A gossiping pair of water rushes fling Their saucy noses towards the passing sun. And with the lily pads they harmonize A cadent rhythm with the water. One, A pleasure palace of two dragon flies Who delicately tread the veined halls. The shadows of the trees on shore are poured Beneath the ripples and the waves to crawl Along the dark, kaleidoscopic floor. They disappear into a clouded sky,- The gulls who saw this magic from up high. E721 WILD DOG GAY Moons, XI Suddenly I saw him, a dark shape in the mist, dim and uncertain except for his eyes which burned like hot coals. As he came nearer, I noticed his hollow starved body, which seemed to be held together only by his coarse brown coat. I must have moved then, because suddenly he stiffened and saw me. Then, quick as a cat, he disappeared. This was not the first time I had seen the dog. I had met him often in the woods. I did not know whose he had been or why he had gone wild, but I knew that he had been tame once, because there were collar marks on his neck --deep ones, almost as if he had been chained up. I knew, too, that he rec- ognized me, because I had been putting food out for him off and on during the winter. At first he hadn't touched it, but then gradually, as the hunting grew worse, he began to eat it, and sometimes I could feel his hungry eyes watching me as I put it out. All through the rest of that winter I fed the dog, and as the weather grew colder and the snow got deeper, he became bolder. I could almost find his shadowy shape somewhere along the edge of the woods, when I came to leave meat by the pond. When I knew he was there I talked to him and he seemed to listen, though he never gave any sign of having heard. The woods grew green and full as summer came, and people began to come up to their summer homes to get away from the heat of the city. I was not feeding the dog at all now and I didn't see him for days at a time. Finally one day I somehow knew that he was gone. I told myself that all the summer people and hunters had scared him away, but I never really knew why he went. I missed him a lot at first, until one clay one of our neighbors who had a litter of collie pups gave me one. Then I was the happiest person on earth, for my puppy was the best companion anyone ever had. We took long walks in the woods together and the puppy would run off after every rabbit he saw. By fall I had almost forgotten about the dog. I saw him only once more. It was in the winter. All the summer people had gone back to their warm cities and the woods were bare and the snow had come. My puppy had grown big and clumsy and warm. We had been out in the woods chasing a rabbit which the puppy was still after. I was sitting down resting by the pond. I was looking toward the woods, not thinking about much, until slowly I became aware of a familiar pair of burning eyes and then a thin brown body standing in the shadows. Unconsciously I began to talk to the dog. He listened and then stepped softly to the edge of the woods. I don't know how long I had been talking when suddenly he stiffened, and then my puppy came crashing through the bushes and jumped up on me, panting, excited, and affectionate. VVhen I looked up to see, the dog was gone. I never saw him again. E731 THE SHEPHERD Aucs ANTHONY IX He was alone. In the deepening shadows he stood, I-Ie and his flock By the stream in the glen by the wood A bird twittered, a leaf fellg His flock rested, And in that dell Where quiet prevailed Night came on in a darkening trail. Like a statue he stood Alone in the wood. He was alone. ON SEEKING INSPIRATION Junrri-1 BRAINBRD, XII Like bubbles of flawless beauty Flowing down from above To us it comes. Shimmering spheres of fragile thought Softly floating round our heads Inviting us to rise up And soar aloft With them. We reach for them. But they slip past Or break within A clumsy grasp Leaving us behind. If we are to fly Afar, unbound, We must rise From the ground But we are too ponderous. U41 A KIND WORD Junm-x Goonwm, VII I was blue. My thoughts Went trudging round In endless, dreary circles. My mind Was dark And gloomy as a dungeon. Then A ray of light Pierced the darkness. - Someone Had spoken A kind word. A GOOD LOSER POLLY BANPIELD, IX He might have been tough deep down inside, but from a distance he looked like a slim worn-out body heaped on the dry stubby grass. His trousers were torn at the knee, and his shirt was stained with green. His face was dirty except where tears had washed clean paths in the dirt. A few brushes of yellow hair stuck up between the cakes of mud, and blood trickled down over his chin. He bit his lips to keep away the tears, and he cracked his knudcles again and again. He did not want to be a sissy and go home to his mother, but he did not want to sit there and cry either. He had lost the big light and he was mad. He hated everyone . . . everyone except his mother. She was always good to him . . . she would wash him with cool fresh water and make him feel good again. Should he go home to her and ask for help? No . . . he was big now . . . he did not want to be called a mother's boy. He watched his enemy, the big bully, playing ball out on the field. Isn't he awful? he whispered. I wonder what he's thinking about me? . . . He keeps looking over here. Maybe he doesn't really hate me, but he just doesn't dare say he's sorry. He picked up a big stone and threw it into the air. Oh, look at it go! I wish Jimmy could see that ! VVhile wiping his face with his shirt, he got up and started towards the bully, who might not really hate him after all. He mumbled, something which might have been Now . . . jimmy, you see . . . Now . . . Jimmy, you know I'm not a bad loser .... The wind blew back his final whispers, jimmy ,... I'm glad you won. You're awfully strong. You really beat the pants od' me! U51 TWO SONNETS ON TWO STARS LINDA MYERS, XII I saw two stars one night some time ago And noticed as I watched them from the shore That one was brightly sparkling - all aglowg The other dim and distant- bright no more. The two stars seemed to me like man and wifeg They sat on the horizon side by side. The man with spirit strong was full of life The woman weak - her spirit long since died. They sat a while together in the dark, But soon the woman slowly moved away, For she who had no radiance - had no spark Must not remain with him of glorious ray. And I, a child with childrerfs dreams so b I wished upon the radiant star that night. Two lights fas Iidid see some time agoj I see tonight, and notice from the shore That one is brightly sparkling - all aglowg The other dim and distant - bright no more. Yet bright and glorious as the one may be, And though the other weak and dim may seem, The bright one's just a lighthouse out at sea. The dim one's light is quite a true star's beam. I know the bright light, made by man, will end. I can't be sure of its stability. But from that dim star God will surely send A stable light through all eternity. So I, no longer young with dreams so bright, I'l1 wish upon the star of God tonight. I76l right, TOWARD GOD Lisfi SHAFFER, XI In our world all tangible objects have dimension-length, width, and height. If we were all geometricians, perhaps we should see the world as com- binations of lines which have been extended, curved, or bent by a power greater than themselves to give dimension and concreteness to what would otherwise have to be imaginary objects. The lines have been extended up, down, or to the right and left, they have been curved around, they have been bent in or out. There is direction in dimension's lines and in their finished product. In the dimensions of all concrete objects the lines have direction. Mountains' lines seem to stretch up to meet the clouds. Lines of rain reach from the sky down to earth. Man has dimension, too. His lines are continually changing size and shape, guided by the Supreme Power which is above all men and objects. Where is our goal? What are our directions? Man is unlike most concrete objects that his Great Power has created, for he has a mind which makes him able to reason. He has an internal line, that of his beliefs, which is controlled by himself and by his Creator. The Creator first gave him a point, the beginning of all lines. Man's point has at first no direction or dimension and therefore no meaning. Together man and his Crea- tor extend his point and give it meaning. Through the ways he extends it, man is directly responsible for his line's direction. Man's direction is drawn by those things in his life upon which he places most importance. For the really important things in life man sometimes substi- tutes as his goal making a place for himself in society, his business position, or his social rank. We live, however, in a Christian society. We should there- fore place importance upon the Christian way of life. For men who do not attempt to follow the Christian principles there seems to be no path for their lines, but endless, continuous circles upon which they repeatedly walk in the same evil path. With a great effort they can break the circle. Some men are not sure what things they value. Theirs is an unsteady line that constantly bends and turns until they fix their values, when it becomes strong and straight. If they have placed most importance on a Christian way of life, they will extend their lives toward honesty, sincerity, fairness, kindness, truth, faith, 'and love. These will lead man toward God. l77l BUT WHERE IS HER HEART ? SHIRLEY HAMPTON, X Day after day I see her sitting there, Attacking her sewing like a bird of prey Because she has nothing else to do. I remember a quarter of a century Ago, when I was still quite young, And she lived on the old place. I first saw her in the springing helds, Working along side her husband. She wore trousers, like the men, She weren't a lady, my ma used to say When I asked about her. Oh, yes, the women would talk And say unkind things among themselves About her. But the men didn't. They admired her and they'd Say so to their wives at supper. They'd tell how she came to Ohio A fancy lady, with a ruffled parasol, And a smattering of French to spare. But after her first son died, and The fire ashed her home, she swore That she was Job and would suffer His will until it should please Him To set her in His favor again. She worked and toiled until she drove The land into her heart, and chased The French and fluff into eternity. Between the harvests she bore sons That lived and grew as fast as she Covered the corn seeds with a handful of loam The Bible was her law, and she Likewise gave it to her sons. She always kept it open to The Parable of the Sower And referred to it as the tool Of her trade. Our minister used to say, She shouted like a man, and ordered like God And worked side by side with the men of the sod I78l Then her husband died. The children felt their responsibility. They brought her from the home she'd built With love, and trial, and all her soul. The land whose life had her to thank Was gone forever from her sight. It's not the time that's made her old, But the separation. Day after day I see her sitting there, Attacking her sewing like a bird of prey Because she has nothing else to do. MELANCHOLY JAN LARSON, VII A replete and overwhelming Blackness invades my mind. This ominous troll has Gorged upon the reds, The pinks and the brighter Rays of other moods.

A pillowed headg Closed lidsg Sleep. l79l AUTUMN JUDITH LEE, XII Twinkling coins of copper, Satin, velvet red Swirl into a river, Intoxicate my head. Dust of crushed leaves Redden harvest's moon. Pumpkins turn to carriages Beneath Pan's haunting tune Rosy, ripened orchards Tint the spicy airg Slow-footed animals Climb at sleepy stair. Now the first snowflake Drifts through naked treesg Crystals on a lake Hush and make it freeze.
