ii ixiiDELr1I'IQ3Z im i No God? There is no God, he said. The crystal moon arose And held the mountain top Close to her heart. Below, the waters ruffled Asif brushed hy' unseen hands. And yet again, There is no God, he said. -Vivian Coulter A Heavenly Bath The sky at night is the earth's wash basin. In it are cleared away the cares and sorrows That trouble man's mind by clay. The moon is a cake of smooth yellow soapg And in the dawning light above the hills, The little fleecy soapfbubble clouds Arc blown away By gentle morning breezes. -Rachel Shipps My Prayer Dear God,-help me to do The things that you would have me do: Guide my way throughout the dayg Keep me true in work and play. Help me do my very best, Seek each day a better quest, Keep me clean, and pure, and strong, Keep my thoughts from all things wrong. Teach me to love, to laugh, to sing, Teach me to enjoy each fellow being Humbly do I ask thy gracious care To keep me ever kind and fair. -Frances Pearl Jones Round and Round When I was just a little lad I sat upon my grandpa's knee: He took his shiny gold watch out And held it up to show to meg He took the cover off the back To show me how the watch was wound. I sat there, still and marvelingi, And wondered why the wheels went round. Last night I watched the white moon sail In solemn splendor through the sky. I think she has another side Which, taken off, will show me why She hangs her old man miniature Exposed always to earthly sight. I'd like to pry her back clear off And oil her wheels, and set them right. -Rachel Shipps

i i i MDELI'II'lQ5Zli 1 i i i Junior Girls' Literary The Unswerving Herd On the side of a hill, watching his herd of steers, sat a lonely cowboy. The gentle curling smoke of his cigarette wreathed cirlces about his sombrero and bespoke his contemplative mood. His horse stood not far away silently cropping the close young gress. As if alarmed, he threw his head into the air and pricked up his ears. The rider, too arose. From a distance came the rumble of hoofs upon the hard dry earth. The cowboy sprang into his saddle and started in mad haste to make a round'up. But in vain. Across the plain came the steadily advancing herd of buffalo, with shoulders high and heads close to the ground. With no slackening of speed, no lifting of heads, they thundered past, tramping rider, horse, and steers into the dust. On they charged, leaving a scarred and silent plain. Marcella Dixon You Can't Keep 'em Down At last l've won all the wagers That I placed on our basketball teamg So here's to those Delhi cagers Who jarred me from out of my dream. They have banished my doubt and my sorrow And maintained our high school's renown, Let's boost them tofdaiyfnot tomorrow! For you can't keep the Delhi's down. 1 Some say that the team is a bubble, And they argue of doubt and of fearg But why should we fail them in trouble, Or forsake them when vict'ry's near? The world will be so much the brighter If we laugh at its sneers and its frowns, And the hearts of the team will be lighter, For you can't keep the Delhi's down. So now as I draw back the curtain And reveal the great school and its worth In the past, with a future uncertain, 'I'o'day there's no better on earth. And the team, yea, the team goes to conquer In its school's mighty race for the crown. Let us take off our hats to their honor, For you can't keep the Delhi's down. -Ruth Thompson
