YOUTH Here I sta nd A fountain straining against a rock blocking my source I look out, -1 But all I see, a wall of stone, and fire, and tears, 7 Is much too close. , My knees are sore, ' But alas, l am not mighty Atlas, , lcannot rise A !,W Way up, above my head, stretch sunlit skies, , But here l stand, mired in tilth and inexperience. To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven . Butwhen did thetirstsun shine? A ' The first snow tall? A The first rain drop? From what come the roots of the mighty oak? The water ofthe ocean? The grains of the sands of time? To be a sapling cowering 'neath the boughs of the mighty oak ls nothing. To be a pebble, striving to be found upon the beach ls nothing. I , Nor is it any use to be a raindrop and flow lnto the sea. 413 , f-Of No man stands alone, But no man has a support. f ' , q . f A crown cannot be earned, ik F It is a gift. To retreive a golden apple, Man must stoop. V , ' i Neither crowns, nor apples lie beyond the stars. y ln every chunk of gold there is a iewel, And a worm. Squirm not, your prayers are hollow and meaningless, 5 Like a rat, snapped in a trap For saying cheese . W Stand, Walkalone, Your path is mired with mines. S. J. LAUGHLIN, Form 24 HAIKU Page 32 The last leaf detached, Hibernation takes place now Fresh awakening. A drop of water Sounds in darkness echo loud Awake ye from sleep. DON BERTEIT, Form 9

'X To fight, or not to fight: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to kill and maim The women and innocent children, Or to take up arms against such brutality, And, by opposing such acts, be branded as a traitor and undemocratic: Are you fighting a war you do not believe in? Yes, you have no choice. By such convictions as yours, are you afraid to voice your opinions? There are many who care little about human life, The victory at any cost is their goal, Even though they lay waste their fields, burn their villages, and torture and kill many, itdoes not matter. Can we, the people in a democratic nation in the twentieth century, sit back and watch the countless thousands of people suffer great personal tragedy? The answer is no, we must put an end to this cruel war. How? By urging our govenment leaders to look for a solution to the problem and try to negotiate peace terms. Here is Canoda's Shance to prove to the world that she is deeply concerned by the world situation and that she is making honest eftortsin leading the word to peace. Let Canada show the world that she has leadership, that we, as a people, must take action - now. DON BERTEIT, Form 9 Page 31
