You Who Have - Apologies to Robert Burns You, who have been filled with dread, You who've wished that you were dead, You're the one whose weary head Needs a little rest. Now forget what's gone before. Don't, I pray you, worry more. Forget about what's still in store, That's the way that's best. Maybe it seems you are accursed, Maybe your head is about to burst- But you're surely not the first, Nor will you be the last. Confess you've been in tighter jams, Don't jump each time the front door slams. It's only five or six exams. I'll bet you even passed! ! l BETTY ANN DRESSMAN, '43 In Retreat Lord, my thoughts all fly to Thee, In these days of reverie. In my heart visit me. My companion be. Be Thy whisper e'er so fleet Each suggestion my mind will greet. Start toward light my uncertain feet. I ask on bended knee. DoRo'rHY MUETHING, '43 Dear God Dear God, in a world that's torn with war, Let me think of the coming years When the cannon has ceased its roar And the nations dry their tears. Give me strength to wait release. Let me live as one should live, Serving ever the God of Peace. NORMA MUCCINO, '43 Before Assembly Some people think it very childish For me, a Senior, not to relish The idea of reciting upon the stage. They've told me o'er and o'er to be Composed and calm, and never see The audience, but to gaze above their heads. And yet my knees go all a tremble 'Way before the time to assemble On Blue Mondays at one hour past noon. My heart pounds doubly loud in my ears. My breath comes in gasps, and adds to my fears Among my classmates, I know I'll be the dunce. I wish I were home, oh, Oh, just this once! PAULINA GLENN. '43 A Forecast O that this horrible war were over at last, That we had heard the last cannon blast, That our heavy hearts were again serene, And that we could realize our dream, The dream of a new and better world, Where each country's flag shall wave unfurled And the people be free as the winds of the sea, Free as Americans. God grant this may be. SARA SILVA, '43 Page nineteen
