SENIOR LITERATURE CROMWELL'S DAUGHTER Jean Cromwell was a girl of about twenty. She was a, gay, happy girl that liked the theatre and light dramas by -Shia.kesP69l'e- Her parents were true Puritans, respected highly throughout the country- They dld not approve of Jeanie's actions. This Puritanism that Jeanie's Parents be- lieved in was a movement toward greater strictness of life and simplicity of church organizations. They believed also, that not only the church, but the state, Sh0ElId be Ilke the heavenly kingdom. Manyibelieved that the king didn't have the divine. right. Be- cause of this social and economic unrest a civil war arose. It was at this time that Jean brought a great disgrace to her parents. The first year of the war Jean wrote pamphlets 9.b011f Puritanism and they were bought through- out England causing great controversies among the Puritans as well as the Loyalists. Jeanie's father was also fighting but he was on the opposite side from his daughter. While she was fighting with her pen, he was fighting with arms for the Puritans. Jeanie didn't stop at her writing but con- tinued by spying for the Loyalists. At last the civil war came to a close. King Charles I was taken from the throne and General Cromwell took over. Jeanie's father now demanded that the king and his followers be convicted. He real- ized that his daughter would be tried but be- ing a Puritan and desiring a strong common- wealth, he watched as they cut her head off. As much as she had caused heartache and trouble for him, he had no hard feelings against her. He knew she had died bravely as Joan of Arc had. Being so opposed to her ideas and beliefs, he could not help compar- ing her with Martin Luther, a very st.ub- born man but one willing to fight for the way he had felt as Jeanie had. CAROL FRASER '58 THE MEMORIES LIVE ON Occasionally the old woman brushed the snow from her face as she made her way through the Christmas Eve crowd on the streets. She walked slowly, with an unsteady step. The paper bag she clutched so tightly in her hands contained the soup for her sup- per. There were two cans just in case any- one dropped in, though no one ever did. They used to, but now everyone was too busy with his own life. The throng around the stores increased steadily. Last minute gifts were bought as well as food for the big dinner. Carolers were heard and the cheerful, anticipating voices of the young children as they talked of what Santa would bring them. Hey, Freddie, are you coming to the dance at the 'Y' tonight? And Freddie's reply that he would be there. This pleased the old woman as she walked along. She remem- bered her Christmas parties in her youth. Though her mind was weak and it was hard to recall some of those faraway years, there were some that would live forever. She smiled as she remembered her first party. What a wonderful time she had had and how exciting it had been to string the popcorn on the tree. She wondered if anyone still used the popcorn for decorations. The snow was falling fast now. At the corner she saw a big, jolly Santa Claus ring- ing a bell and wishing everyone passing a Merry Christmas. The church bells could be heard in the distance as she continued. She had had many Merry Christmases but now she was alone. This would be the fifth year. It was hard the first time but after that it was like any other day. But for some reason this year wasn't the same. When she had left her room she hadn't felt any differ- ent, but now she seemed to have an inner contentment. Her thoughts returned to holidays of yesteryear. This would be her iii-3rd Christmas. Time had passed so quick- y. She had been lucky. Though there were years when her family had 'very little, they had always remained close and happy despite the hardships. Somehow she had always re- ceived a gift. One year it was a wide, blue silk ribbon to wear in her hair. Oh, how she had cherished it! She had worn it so proud- ly. How silly a young girl would think that today. But she had been so happy with it then. She was almost home now. Home? A small two-room apartment in a rundown section. But it was hers and she lived with her memories. These memories were so important to her. They filled her life now. A tear rolled down a tired-looking wrinkled cheek as the old woman stiffly climbed the steps. A small boy came around the corner with a handful of snow and threw it at a nearby dog. He looked up at her suddenly and smiled. Merry Christmas, he hollered. The woman stood for a moment and watched him as he hurried after the dog. Blessings, child, and many Merry Christ- mases to you, too, she whispered, and quiet- ly went into her rooml, her room of memories where yesterday's blessings, tasks and hap- pinesses lived still and would continue to live unt.il the old woman herself was only a memory.

JUNIOR LITERATURE THE SADDLE HORSE We took the horse the other day, And hooked him to an open sleigh. He kicked, he bucked, he jumped around, He gave a leap and left the ground.. And we who went with hopes so high, Just left them there up in the sky. We learned too late, with some remorse, You cannot harness a saddle horse. DAWN TRIPP '59 DAYS OF OLD In days of old, When knights were bold, When wages were a penny, The rich were few As diamond dew, The poor, alas, were many. The land was under pagan rule, Where just the rich could go to school. The poor were forced to earn their keep, By plowing fields and herding sheep. RICHARD SEEKINS '59 A WINTER NIGHT Th air is cold, the night is still, And shining o'er the distant hill- The moon sends forth the shimmering rays Which frost the snow with golden glaze. The moon beams dance on crusted snow Like fairies running to and fro. They stretch across the bay beyond, And link two shores with a golden bond. The t.rees stand dark against the light, They thrust their arms far into the night, And cast their shadows on the hill. The air is cold, the night is still. JUDY CARD '59 People may forget how fast you did a job, but they won't forget how well you did it.. Minds that have no-thing to confer find little to perceive. When you talk you repeat only what you know, but if you listen you may learn some- thing. THE TREES The trees like lovely ladies grow, Some short, some tall, some in a row. Somehow they seem like friends grown old Their limbs like arms that me enfold. The tree with branches upward flung, How brave, how proud when day is done They stand beneath the setting sung Their whispering leaves all seem to say- 'Tm ready for another day. JACKIE GORDON '59 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF- Jeanie couldn't laugh? Dawn's slip didn't show? Lillian H. forgot Freddie? Judy S. grew taller? Bonnie lost Malcolm? Ruth got an E ? Mrs. Mac couldn't count money? Norris couldn't sit near Judy? George grew a moustache? David didn't walk Judy to school? Kenneth didn't flirt? Edna didn't get mad? Becky didn't know Jackie? Chummy H. weren't going steady? Becky owned her own car? Carol D. owned a Mercury? Judy C. didn't deliver papers? Judy S. couldn't roller skate? Jeanie didn't get letters from Frankfort? Lillian got into the movies? Pearl could really sing? Jean couldn't chew gum? Bonnie didn't play basketball? Chummy H. got fat? David couldn't drive a Buick? Ruth S. couldn't walk? Jackie weren't quiet? Mrs. Mac didn't dictate? We didn't pass into the Senior Class?
