'No Graven Image' The faithful are gathered in reverent file, Blue-uniformed wardens solemnly watching, The high priests count collections pile on pile. Within hallowed walls their rites preparing, The lords, in dazzling splendor, await their call To celebrate anti-communication With all their minions who shout and bawl, Not for them the realm of contemplation. Now tension is mounting, expectancy high: All vacant seats are filled by vacant minds: The rising veil is rent by thunderous cry: New songs of praise the congregation finds. Twist and shout, rave and scream, bay like beaglesg Taste the honey, love them dog worship the Beatles. Susan Park Susan Marjorie Park Lynda Patterson l People Are you a people ?

Betsy Ann Smith The following is the introduction to a speech I made in tenth grade. I selected it because it is an excellent example of my true personality Q if one can call it a personalityj. In the past few years, many people have come up to me and said, Stees, why are you so crazy? What am I supposed to say if I don't even know the answer myself? So, at this mo- ment, I would like to tell you about myself. Now don't get me wrong-I'm not going to go into the obvious facts of how ugly, stupid and uncoordinated I am. Instead, by means of relating several childhood experiences, I will enable you to gain a more fruitful and more knowledgeable understanding of me. However I'm afraid that, after reading this, people will come up to me and say, Stees, that is so typical. The question is-do I thank them or belt 'em one? 22 And she thought to herself, 'Why do I have to stand on this stupid pedestal every day of my life? If the manager of the assembly plant had breathed life into me, I could be one of them this very minute. If they would let me have every piece of clothing I have ever worn in this store, why, I'll bet I could oneg ogheg worlds ten best-dlesg.. womgn. Those stupid humans down there-always gazing up at me and looking for something in my glass eyes, or else touching my dresses and looking at my price tags. How I hate the way they stand and watch when the floor manager changes my clothes! If I were human, I'd show them. I'd show them .... Virginia Leigh Stees
