There I was, sprawled on the ground like a disjointed octopus. Only a few minutes before, Gabby had been in a trot, then in a canter. Everything had been just fine until he went into a gallop. It was then that I began to fancy myself as a jockey with the crowd cheer- ing me on. I pulled my feet out of the stirrups and moved my hands up his neck. It was wonderful - the great speed and the breeze through my hair. .lust then I gazed down to look at the road. That brings me to where I'm lying now. I don 't think any bones are broken, it's my neck that hurts. Now I wonder why I didn't land gracefully. I had fourteen hours of tumbling at camp, you 'd think I'd remember something about itl I finally get up enough nerve to pull my head out from under my left leg. Gabby is leering at me with a satisfied expression in his brown eyes. In fact, one might even say -1 W- all in Beth Davis, whose poem Impres- sions' was published in National Anthology. that he is gloating, I half expect him to sit down and pull out a carrot.

This year, under the guidance of Miss Cathell, there were two printed issues, one of which is pictured on this page. There were many new features this year, such as the gossip column, Fun and Fact with .Io and Mac , and many in- teresting forums. Another innovation was the occasional use of two column articles in- stead of a paper made up completely of ar- ticles of one column only. Everyone liked the cartoons and drawings of Mimi Doak and Linda Fink, the art editors. It was always a special event when one of the editors got a by-line. This year the English department published a much improved IVY LEAVES and everyone enjoyed reading it.
