Dad picked up his paper and held it in front of his face. I knew I was dismissed but I did not seem able to move. Carol had said her parents lust talked. Well, so had mine. At least Dad had talked. I looked at Mom. She was looking at her hands, which were smoothing out a handkerchief on her knee. They smoothed it and smoothed it and smoothed it. The two weeks of confinement ahead of me were sort of a letdown. I don't know what I had expected but not that. There wasn't anything hap- pening during the next two weeks that I wanted to do. It was going to get boring up there alone in my room but-. Suddenly I felt like giggling. I would get my room cleaned now. BOBBIE MADRON '55 Fort Jones High School SECOND PLACE POEM -V Snow Storm Announced by all the trumpets of the sky Arrives the snow, driving o'er the fields, Seems here to alight, the whited air Hides hills and woods, river and sky, Veils the farmhouse at the garden's end. Drifting down, it stops the courier's feet, Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed, As the snow comes down, silently, they sit In the seeming endless privacy of storm. Come, see the snow's soft masonry As it builds its peaks, topping everything Curving gently over stake and tree, I Piling up, here and there, Caring not for number or proportion. When hours are numbered, the world its own It leaves, the sun appears revealing soft-curved art, As it looks back, seeing what was built, The mad night wind's work begins The frolic architecture of the snow.

noT To boTher wiTh The room. IT was Too big a iob. I oughT To be sTarTing off To school anyway or I would be laTe. IT was a beauTifuI fall day. The air was so crisp and fresh iT hurT your lungs To breaTh iT, buT iT smelled and TasTed so good you wanTed To iusT gulp iT down. The leaves on The Trees were iusT beginning To change color and They were a maze of red, rusT and green. A few leaves came floaTing down when a IiTTle breeze sTirred Them. IT was a lovely morning, and iT made me forgeT abouT my unhappiness unTil I meT Carol. Carol came running down The sTeps of her house. She had on a new red sweaTer. In her blond hair was a small red bow. Gosh! You look nice This morning, CaroI, I said. Like my new sweaTer? GOT iT for my birThday. Say, can you come TonighT? You iusT goT To come! I goT Two new records. Real dreamy! I Told her Then. BuT kid, you iusT have To come! We've iusT goT To Think of some way you can come. No chance, I said. My dad said 'No, and ThaT's final.' When he says ThaT he usually means iT. We walked silenTly along side by side for a few minuTes. We scuffed Through The brighf leaves, kicking Them up aT every sTep. Carol said, Well, why don'T you come any- way? WhaT do you mean, anyway? WelI, whaT will They do To you if you iusT didn'T go home, buT came To my house insTead? I stopped walking. Oh, gosh! I don'T know. I never did anyThing like ThaT before. Carol sTopped Too. Why don'T you Try iT and see whaT They will do? Probably won'T be much. My parenTs iusT Talk. They say They will do This and ThaT and Then They forgeT whaT They have said and don'T do anyThing. I sTill hesiTaTed. Carol sTarTed on. well come on, kid, she said. You Think abouT iT during school. BuT you really oughT To decide To come. We could have loTs of fun,,and I'll iusT beT They won'T do much To you. I sTill hesiTaTed. WhaT would They do? IT would be inTeresTing To find ouT. My hearT beaT fasTer aT The ThoughT. I ran a few sTeps To caTch up wiTh Carol. I'Il do iT, I said. Carol looked aT me wiTh new respecf. You will! she said. We boTh laughed. We felT like conspiraTors and life was suddenly exciTing. Carol and I were upsTairs in her room lisTening To her records when The Telephone rang. Carol's faTher answered iT. We could hear him Talking in LITERARY SECTION The hall below. Leaving The record playing we slipped ouT To The head of The sTairs To lisTen. I'll Tell her, we heard him say. Carol looked aT me and I looked aT her. Carol's eyes were opened wide, and she was biTing her lip. Suddenly I wished I hadn'T done iT. I was no longer exciTed, iusT frighTened. I didn'T waiT for Carol's faTher To Tell me ThaT The call had been from my faTher and ThaT he wanTed me To come righT home. I knew ThaT ThaT was whaT The call had been abouT. I wenT back inTo Carol's bedroom and picked up my coaT and school books. The reco rd had come To The end and was whirling around and around in The IasT groove. Carol didn'T seem To noTice iT, buT iT annoyed me so I walked over and Turned iT off. Gosh, kid, maybe you shouldn'T have come, she said. I'm sorT of sorry I suggesTecl iT. I didn'T answer her. I didn'T walk very fasT on The way home, buT if didn'T seem To Take me long To geT There. All The lighTs in The house were burning. I sTood ouTside The gaTe for a few minuTes. I could see Mom and Dad sifting in The living room. Dad had a paper in his hands, buT he didn'T Turn The pages as if he were reading iT. Finally he looked aT his wrisT waTch and goT ouT of his chair. I sTarTed up The walk. My bare hands were numb from The cold. I had forgoTTen To puT on my gloves. I sTopped and goT Them ouT of my pockeT. I puT my books down on The cemenT walk so ThaT I could puT on my gloves. Suddenly a paTh of lighT slanTed across The walk and onTo The grass of The fronT yard. Dad was sTanding in The doorway. WhaT are you doing? he asked. I couldn'T speak. My Tongue felT Too big for my mouTh. I held up my hands wiTh The gloves half on one of Them. I Took iT oFf again and puT Them in my pockeT. Dad sTepped aside as I walked Toward The door. The house was Too warm. I feIT su1'TicaTed. Go on inTo The living room, Dad said. JusT inside The living room I sTopped again. MoTher looks scared, I ThoughT. Dad came around behind me and moved over To his chair. When he saT down he kepT his hands on The arms. His finger Tips were whiTe from holding onTo The chair arms so hard. I could feel my hearT going Thump, Thump, Thump, Dad spoke To me buT my hearT was making so much noise in my ears ThaT aT firsT I didn'T hear whaT he said. When I did hear, he was saying . . . ThaT's whaT you need buT I feel ThaT because I am so angry I would probably whip you Too hard. So you will go To your room, and, excepT for The Time when you are in school, you will sTay in There for The nexT Two weeks. Your mofher will leave your meals ouTside your door. ' 29
