'I could watch him forever and never be bored,W faintly remarked Lois. W0h look, there is that boy from New Salemyf giggled Shirley. WI bet he sits with you . N 'For heaven sakes, don't look that way, he will see you,W cried Lois, gazing with all her night at his none-too-handsome face. Shirley glanced quickly at her friend sith ting beside her and wondered why she said that, for she herself wasn't taking any pains to look elsewhere. Lois declared quickly, WLet's move.' WNhy?' was Shirley's amazed reply. NOh, don't ask stupid questions. You know my father is here somewhere and I don't Want hirzto see me with Lester,N remarked Lois quite disgusted. They moved down to the front of the theater where it was darker and harder to be seen. Presently Nthet boy from New Salemn set down beside Lois.

WINTER IMPRESQLQNS At the moment, I am taking my daily walk around my yard. It is snowing hard. When I touch it, the cold, wet substance melts in my hand. As I walk, I can hear it crunching under my feet. It is a pleas- ant sound. The rhythm of the crunching and the sting- ing of the cold, brisk air on my face make me want to walk at a faster tempo. In the distance I can hear the voices of children who are playing in the new-fallen snow. In my mind I picture them making fat snowman and sliding down the long hills near my home. I can hear a dog bark in pro test of being left behind. No doubt he would like to slide too. Someone is taking advantage of the new snow by going for a sleighride. I can feel the vibration of the horses' hoofs and I can hear the sleigh bells ringing. Somehow, on a day like this it isn't so bad being blind. You can sense the joy and happiness of other people, That in itself helps to make up for the fact that I cannot see the happy expressions on their faces Ann Withington '46 I The snow came down in swirls. It circled 'round and 'round, Going this way and that 'Til it finally reached the ground. II The wind was all a rage As it tossed and blew the trees. It swept the fresh lain snow in ridges-f Like waves on the stormy seas. Annie Boyd '48
