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.
