An eagle soared over mountain and plain, +I-V-C4 Iunior was returned to Moo Moo, and the ice cream Cwhich had depreciated in valuel to Iunior. Peace reigned for a split second when, at last, someone behind me began to crack peanuts, Fifty cents worth if they cost a dime. lunior now insisted on singing Little lack Horner Sat ln a Corner, and was very much put out when the usher told Moo Moo that lunior would have to restrain his vocal ambition for the present or leave the theater. Iunior looked up at the usher and said with a mournful look, Why? The usher ignored Iunior's question and with a face reddened to the color of a lobster proceeded up the aisle at a high rate of speed. l caught a glimpse of the screen just as lunior lowered his head to remove some bubble gum from his face. The phrase l read told the whole story, The End. --Peggy Donnelly O IIN ll0PE FOIt Illl'lEItIClly Men have fought to save her, Across our nation wide, l-le viewed our wealth, our heritage, With wings tull-spread with pride. At length our guardian bird To his aerie returned, And in his sharp eye A missive light burned. With noble beak up-raised, That bird spoke thus to me: Hear these words, my hope For America, my plea: May America remember Her history so short, Her ideal democracy-- Let no man distort. Luckily not in vain, Let her see no more bloodshed, And its unholy gain. May the feats of her children Make her reputation shine, And prove her truly worthy As the leader of mankind. Let her people lead Simple lives, well-spent, And become a proud, God-fearing race With highest aims content, Thus the eagle spoke And ended his oration, Which revealed my own hope For this enterprising nation. eliflarion Bozzone page twenty-seven
