Q UNKNOWN TO THEE As I was pondering through the remains of a dilapidated old farmhouse, I came upon an ancient dictionary in which I found a letter that had been written nearly thirty years ago by an old man. Apparently, his mind was in a jumbled state because he had a letter to our were bothering him. Let written letter. Lord about some of the happenings that us look into a few of the lines of this nOur Heavenly Father, I world of ours is in, in years and the state in which this am growing late is beyond my reach. As I sit here pond- ering over many things, I wonder outloud if you know what is goinx on in this harsh and cruel world of ours. I read in the newspapers that we are about to enter into another war. ,Isn't there something you can do to prevent such a horrible under- taking? although a war won't bring too much sorrow and grief to me, think what it will do to the world as a whole ---------- the great loss of life, the destruction of many cities and towns, and broken families and homes. And what happens after the war? what state is your poor world going to be in? Of course this question will not be answered until after the war is over but I wonder if you realize all of this? 'As I sit here in my rambling old farmhouse, the outside world dosen't effect me much and I am too old to learn the ideas and thoughts of our younger generation. It makes me wonder, when I hear tell of so much bitterness and poverty, even in our own country. I manage to get enough to eat and live quite comfortably but it makes cold shivers run up and down my spine when I think of little children cold and hungry. imagine that by the time my letter is found all of my I questions will be answered. But please, dear Lord, if you know of all the horrors and heartaches, do your best to over- take them. I won't be living in your world much longer but I hope these things wonft be unknown to Thee throughout the years. I'm writing you in hopes that conditions will be bet- ter for future generations. ' All of my Faith goes to You.u CSignedD As I read the lines of this man's thought, it made me think of the conditions of the world today. Since his letter was written, there has been much investigating into science, two world-wars have been fought and won by our countryg Communism has sprung up and slowly gripping the world between its gummy fingers and now we are approaching the Presidential Elections and a very un- patriotic 'mud-slinging Campaign' is going on. Has this world gone beyond the control of Heavenly Powers??!f? ' Sally Jordan '53

THE CLOUDS The clouds were merely hanging around, as the gray dawn awoke. The night before, the clouds had experienced a terrible ordeal and they were talking of it as the sun tried to peer through. One sour little one with an odd shape spoke up in a little voice and said, HIt's a terrible thought to have to be here in the.sky all the time, to have children look at you and try to imagine what you could possibly look like. Why do they always try to put your shape to some animal or object? The people walk by on the ground and curse you because you're holding the sun back, the wind blows you hither and yon and when you move just a little, while 'the artists are trying to paint you, they get mad too. A cloud's life is wicked.H nThat isn't right at all,n said a beautiful, snowy white cloud Uwe all have a purpose. Let me tell you of some, - we're a place for the heads of the little angels to retire, an object to reflect the sun's warm rays to the children below - for without the warm sunlight, they would be very unhealthy. The children love us and play games with us. They race along the fields and try to beat us. DOn't you see all clouds aren't the same? Be- cause some clouds have a dark side, we're here to show some clouds do have a silver lining.H HI suppose you're right, but-H repeated the first. NNo buts about it - see those children down there, come on Ifll race you over. They'll play with us, you'll see.H HOkay, last one over is all wet - let's go.U p Winnie Sawyer '53 AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SCHOOL CLOCK I am a school clock. I was made in Switzerland by a famous clookmaker. I have kept time for about fifteen years in this same school room. I have never stopped except once when there was a great blizzard and no one came to wind me. I have watched children laughingg watched teachers struggling with backward children. I have seen heartache in the eyes of children who couldn't make the team. I have seen children go running and sing- ing out of the classroom when school let out. As I look down on the deserted classroom thinking of my past, I now realize I have lived a full life. I have helped someone, the purpose for which everything is put on this earth. I have served my time. To- morrow they take me down and replace me with a new modern clock. Where I go from here I do not know, nevertheless I am happy. Claire Redlon '55 Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of - u - W - B. Franklin ,
