We skate race swim then turn to stoop ball box ball punch ball stick ball and harder games of baseball football and basketball for hours at the playground in rain, in snow, refusing to give in to darkness or growing up until Necessity also know as Responsibility, rears her head and calls us home for supper, marriage, and parenting players of my own. But Piaget tells me Play is the serious business of youth, and, forever young, l continue to play molding words into poems poems into people and people into children once again. Mr. Frank Barone - Teacher 326 Literary Contest The Sunrise Listen now to calling birds humming songs in the morning. They sing their lives with a smile living love and flirting style. As you look out east in yonder clouds the glare will flash in your eyes as you begin to dream of the sunrise Take one step up the stairs and realize a place full of fears The feeling is new to you as it uncovers a place rich in value But as you listen with open ears the ided sparks GD itTtfT1Ofi'0i fidme The pain of yesterday dies as you begin to see the sunrise. Brian Rauch - 12th grade Edii0r'S Note: By Julie Dickinson The outcome of this year's second annual Odyssey literary contest, was tremendous. With over 130 entries, our staff was given the hard task of choos- ing the best poems. Although many of the poems deserved to be printed, space allowed only roomytor the top five. Choosing these five poems was a very challenging and debatable exf perience for our staff., Each poeml-was evaluated on a scaie from t-5. Con- sideratlon on creativity and meaning was the main weighing factor in judg- ing. Hopefully, this contest will remain an annual part of the Odyssey, and become even bigger and better. Thank you for all of the contributions, and keep writing!
