A Burden For The Young War takes only the young, The pride of the nation Leaving the old embittered who shaped the To question and do little else. Is is fair that new lives must be sacrificed For quarrels shaped before their time? Yes, with their treasured inheritance Comes the burden which must always Jane Ellen Leavitt Be put first if it is to be preserved. Yes, it is that important. The weeds sprouted from the cracks of the sidewalk and made it nearly impossible to discern what was path and what was lawn. As one approached the steps, it was obvious that no one cared.

Upon entering the house I saw that there were cobwebs covering the ceiling and the furniture was covered with dust. The fireplace seemed to be choking with ashes. I started upstairs to my parents' bedroom only to find the stairs filled with huge holes. I won- dered how anyone could have done this to the house I loved. I saw that in my mother's room the floor was at a slant. In the closets hung the clothes of a van- ished age, the long dresses and stuffed shirts of my parents' time. Suddenly I had to go. I walked slowly down the stairs trying to remember the house as it had been. fight I went outside, stopped for my last look, and left. 16

Obviously the girl was Binky Wood-who else could be so funny? Nevertheless, in full light of the ridiculousness of this task, I, like most of the senior class, plunged deeply into piles of old school papers. But all I could come up with were dramatic poems, heavy with earth- shaking philosophy, and amateur descriptions of the wonders of nature. By then it was Monday. It is now the following Sunday. Strewn all around my room are bits of ill-fated odes and scribbles of potential masterpieces. I have even tried the modern bit A with a word here or here rather incoherent to all but me to all but me.
