- PICNIC Pack up the sandwiches, pickles, and cake, The salad, the olives, the franks and the steak. We're off to the woodland, where Nature is calling, And thrushes are shrilling and beetles are crawl- ing. Now spread out the food on tables and benches, While into the revels the kiddies throw wrench- es. Small Gail in the brooklet is already sprawling, While Judy and jane are delightedly brawling. The grub tastes so good in these great open spaces, We're just a collection of great open faces! And now come the snapshots, the searching for flowers, The darkening clouds and the threatening showers. Let's hurry and pick ufp her clutter and crusts, For that's on the list o barbecue's musts. Now put out the fires and the cigarettes too- That's one of the things all good picnickers do. Although we are tired, and the party is over, We must leave the scene as we found it-in clover. . . The start of a picnic's all sweetness and light, But won't we be happy to get home tonight! ! ! Betty Merrill '57 STOP! I ! Speakers, I Hnd, Are often inclined To sprinkle their wisdom and wit With prognostications, Abundant quotations, Profuse illustrations, Exact explanations, Detailed observations, Repeated summations, And lots of good places to quit. Gard Plummer '57 MUSIC, THE LANGUAGE OF THE WORLD Music is a combination of elements, namely, melody, harmony, and lorm. These three ele- ments are the foundation upon which the artist paints a picture. The musical elements must be present in order that the composition be one of music. They are rather a basis, or a plan, to which must be added variation, in order to ex- pand upon the main theme. There is still another point which the com- poser must consider, is the composition going to represent that which is within the realm of human dominion, or of the ghastly horror of a nightmarish battle? The many famous composers of the world must be the poets of their own profession, able to capture the moods, the ideals, and the dreams of people, and transform them into a musical masterpiece, presented to the people in a pleasing or consoling manner. X Matthew W. MacGown '59 MOTHER NATURE'S GIFTS Place yourself on the top of a hill just alter a feathery snow has covered the earth. Looking into the valley you see one of the most beautiful sights of winter. r The trees, tall, and with outstretched arms, covered with snow are protecting the creatures which live in and around the forests. Looking off to the right, you catch a glimpse of a beauti- ful white spire, the steeple of a little country church. Perched above the doorway of this little church is a small white dove. In the churchyard you see, row on row, the tiny white crosses rest- ing place of loved ones. U Looking still further, you view a small, ice- covered stream which flows through the valley. Off in the distance are rolling hills, crested with snow, their peaks reaching heavenward. Then you look upward into the beautiful, starlit sky, with it's many constellations, and it makes you realize that there is certainly a supreme Being far greater than ourselves. Judith Gray '59
