THE RED AND WHITE 9 on the horrifying scene of a hand gently pushing my curtain. I sat there, too frightened to move or even scream for help. No one will ever know how frightened a human being can be until he is in the same situation. I heard footsteps again. The hand was now inside my bed- room window. It was touching something on my desk. I knew that there was nothing on the desk of any value, a fact that made me worry more and more. Maybe Ithis man thought I was asleep and had murder in his mindg what a perfect setting for a murder! It seemed as if I waited for hours for his next move. Maybe some person held a grudge against me or perhaps my dad had done something to cause a certain person to want to get even with him by taking the life of his daughter, his pride and joy. It could be a maniac. Some man may have escaped from the prison in Concord. What does a person do in a situation like this? I will tell you what I did. I prayed lto God for help, just as I always do when I need or want some- thing. I prayed that if it was His will -this man would go away. When I opened my eyes, the hand was still there. I thought, What have I done to deserve this? God has never failed me before. In a few seconds the hand moved out of the window and I heard foot- steps in the distance. This story is true. You figure it out. Remember? BEVERLY MCGREGOR, '54 This is the high school. Every- thing was peaceful until May 5, 1954, at 2:21 p. m. My name is Monday and my partner's name is Tuesday. We were working our way down the corridor of Spaulding High School. Suddenly there appeared in the distance a great commotion. Hasten- ing to the scene we found a group of seniors pushing and shoving. We stopped one of the seniors. What is your name, sir ? My name is David Seaveyf' What is all the commotion about? Would you mind telling us ? No, sir! The seniors have just received and are still calling for the 1954 Yearbook ! Dum Da Dum Dum We checked into the office at 2 :30 p. m. Upon arriving there we found several messages waiting for us. They were to the efect that auto- graph seekers were on the loose. Our job-Help them! Dum Da Dum Dum At 2:35 p. m. we left the office. We wenft in search of the culprits who were holding out on the auto- graph seekers. They were found and brought before the high school stu- dents for trial. The sentence was that they sign as many autographs as are necessary to please -the sltudent body. More criminals have been brought I am to justice. a happy person, I like my daily life. There is but one old lesson That causes me much strife. First I come to history, Then down to Mr. Doeg Next to English happily, Then O me, O my, O woe. I trudge down the long last mile Toward algebra and one eleven. Upon my face there is no smile While others are in heaven. I take my seat to wait To see the coming of My cold mathematical fate, While others algebra love. An exponent whistles by my ear! A radical parts my standing hair! Ilcannot even see nor hear Through equations iiying there! Mr. Lylis has won the battle! O joy! O hip hooray! He shot a simple radical Into my thick head today! HENRY COLE, '54
