Wiidone, f93 9 A Map of Michigan Take me back this dreary Winter To a land of summer magic Michigan, a land of sunshine Land of happy childhood memories, Lakes of deep blue sparkling water Shining in the summer sunshine, Rippling in the summer moonlight, Leelanau, the land of legends Some remembered, some forgotten. Sleeping Bear, forever waiting Waiting for her little bear cubs Islands now forever sleeping. Manitou, seen in the distance, Wrapped in fog or bright in sunshine. Traverse, now a busy city, Once an Indian trading village Scene of raids and Indian Warfare, Once a Wilderness, but now- Iiailroads, airplanes, busy traflic. RUTH OBERHELMAN, 1939 A Johnny Appleseed Orchard Bright among my childhood memories As I dream of days gone by, Is a Wild, abandoned orchard Beneath an azure April sky. Like pink clouds, the apple blossoms Stretch before my eager eyes. Mine alone this fairy garden! Mine alone, this paradise! None to claim the rambling orchard Freely can I pluck its bloom. With what joy I hold the blossoms, But their beauty fades too soon. Walled in by a city's buildings, Drawn into its mad stampede, For that beautiful remembrance, Thank you, Johnny Appleseed. PATRICIA CANNING, 1940 I76l

6'I'll have to go to the library,', interrupted Jane, Hto look up my material. You come along with me, Mary, and you'll probably find something very interesting. 'cThat,s a grand idea, Jane. Letis go after school todayf' HI don't have to go to any old library, said Deborah. I can get all my information from my Father. You two can dig up all the dry information you want. Well, good bye, Jane. I have to go to Latin. After school in the library, Jane and Mary found a great deal of interest- ing material for their essays. Jane chose to write on early music in their town. Mary, after having a look at nearly everything, decided that an essay on early law would prove interesting. While looking through a group of cases that were tried in 1787, Mary came upon one case which surprised and amused her greatly. She showed it to Jane, who immediately burst out laughing. It was a Record of the first case ever tried in their city. Although Mar did not use this information in her essa , she and Jane ufiled it for Y Y future reference. About a month later, Jane, Mary and Deborah finished their essays and mailed them to the Sun. When the winner of the contest was announced, Deborah White got the surprise of her life. Mary Hayes' essay was chosen as the best, and Deborah was given a rating of '4Fair.,, Although both Deborah and her Mother were very angry, they had to accept the decision. When Jane invited Deborah to a luncheon which she was giving in Mary's honor, Deborah, although she still felt abused, accepted. At the luncheon, the three girls sat together, and Deborah said never a word in congratulating Mary. When Jane could stand Deborah's snobbishness no longer, she looked at Mary, and leaned across to Deborah. '6Mary and I found the most interesting thing while we were in the libraryf, she said. lt was a record of the first case ever tried in our city. This is what it said: 'Martin Meyers was brought before the court and charged with stealing cucumbers. He was fined fifty cents and given ten lashes at the public whipping post'. 4'Well, who cares about that stuff? asked Deborah. 'cNobody that's sensiblef' replied Jane, abut Martin Meyers was your Mother's great grandfatherf, MoLLY WILBY, 1941 Wwgdone, IQJ Q l75I
