Student Artist: John Cold. Medium: Photo Montage. An old wooden puzzle Somebody unpieced Bit-by-bit Lying on the table Quietly. The edges are so easy And fit together quickly. The middle is much harder But finally comes along. The horses frolic gayly With human-like expressions And the paint is chipped in places But is still very pretty. 1 haven't seen a wooden puzzle Since I was a child. If I see another I hope that 1 can keep it So my children won't be shocked To find it isn't cardboard. Student Poet: Alan Harkey. 288

Hilltop Pondering As I stand atop this crest I look at the moon and stars And 1 wonder Arc they more advanced? Do the people of Mars suffer from sickness Or do they have no diseases at all? And I speculate Are they more advanced? Do they have wars and fight among themselves Or do they live peaceably as a people should? And 1 ponder Are they more advanced? When out of the sky their came a flash And a ship landed close to me And I knew They are more advanced! Student Poet: John Adams. A Dreamer’s Epitaph Lo! 'Tis an enchanted night within the latter part of A fading dream-all that is real now escapes In somber flight. Oh what horror doth prevade this room of visions Like an omen of the darkness it preys upon. This whithered soul. I lie awake but yet Asleep, hoping dreaming, for some truth untold. And round about the spirits sing of tented Brazen glory accompanied by an angel's flute Of a long forgotten story. O late eternal life and light erase from Me this sorrow and shroud forever restless Souls in sacred lasting morrow! Student Poet: Alan Harkey. Potpourri
