27 Ф West SE odio Seated on a crawling bus, Wh ile the gray mist ushers in the beginning of a winter's day I think and dream. Swayed soothingly, I imagine myself dressed in a tasseled cap and a long, ebony gown adorned with gleaming gold. My name is announced, and I walk, with pride and dignity, up to the stage f. E А Ке N P w e Deginning о le End For my diploma, The scene shifts. I am strolling on a tree-studed college campus with When entering as а freshy” a group of other students. It was not in my mind, We are loquacious and laughing, T - t iat I would soon be planning Discussing tomorrow's football game. Now we enter our next class with a boisterous out- For graduation time, burst of gaiety. We seat ourselves quickly and open our books The gay years went like rockets, soberly ; JG Soon quiet class concentration and keen attention Set off in bright array, reign supreme, And in my chest of memories These glorious years will stay. Abruptly, The bus jerks, and I am jarred out of my dreams. I suddenly realize Algebra and all that stuff, I've overridden my stop. Then seemed like a calamity, I hastily leave the bus; Lockers 1 couldn't open, i | And left me in a huff. Strolling back, my dreamy mood lingers. І recall the happiness Гуе had in my early school days when I yearned to get to the top; But as the day grows nearer, I remember the thrill of becoming a senior; To leave this whid of life. I see the impromptu get-togethers as we practice our å 4 š Senior Night songs, The thought of parting pierces deep I think of the many joys that precede graduation And stabs me like a knife. night; I ponder the present so full of laughter and song MARJORIE Durs and companionship, And I realize, The best dream of all is the one I live in now, BEATRICE LIPSON

D reams Now to the attic slowly I go, Done with my books, it seems. Into a corner the notebook I throw, Keeping only my dreams, No more the cry of homework each night, No more the song of excuses, No more the study of sound and light, No more of English misuses. Pictures, banners and games we won, Shows and football, Oh, what fun! Into the attic this stuff must go, All this is over for me, I know. Books and report cards, attics conceal, Silence and dust must be theirs, I put away these things but, I feel, Dreams I can take downstairs. SALVATORE TOZZI he Saga of Johnny ‘asey Johnny Casey was a freshie, As cute as he could be, He performed the proper things, Befitting a little 1B. Johnny always came to school on time, And not a single day would miss, His marks were always very fine, His mother was proud of this. Johnny entered his sophomore term, Determined to do his best, Late each night he crammed and crammed, He had to pass that test. Johnny Casey now a junior was! The pride of the faculty, No one was more studious, None had his mentality. Soon he became a senior proud, In activities a part did he take, He joined all possible committees, All scenery he did make. Johnny worked hard that very last term, Alack and alas not on studies, Known now as the gay blade of his class, Esteemed by all his buddies. Now when commencement time arrived, Casey's name was not called out! And this was because, as everyone knew, Poor Casey had flunked out! ANITA LAUFER
