Gill'l'i'i.tC Journalism, Esther Snlnwn Secretaries Edituriallg r Speaking by Joycelyn Compton Three years at Irving have passed all too quickly for us A9's, and now we're ready to continue on to senior high school. Of course we're glad to be graduating, and yet we rather hate to be leaving Irving because that means we will be separated from some of the many friends we have made here. Now that the war is over, and things are getting back to normal again, people everywhere are resolv- ing to make this world a better place in which to live. Our class motto, Conquer Wrong by Doing Right, expresses what we. 'he younger generation, feel we can :lo to make this ri better world. The world is made up of many szzoups, which in turn are made up of many individuals, so that if each per- son does his part to abolish intoler- ance, prejudice, jealousies, and greed, his group and his nation will then be more perfect and this world will be n better place in which to live.

The Pampas By Shirley Heihel, A9 Thcre's a land of the open range, lvherc lh: vsucho, tall and leans Rides over the plains of wavinjg grain Through the dust of the Argentine. ll's a country of vast expanse, Whose: riches can he seen - ln ecrn and oats, in hides and heef, This land of the Argentine. Mzzfiv By Dvnald Jacohs, B9 Music is like life, with fast heats and slow heats, - It moves like the rural people, slowly and carefree, Or it moves like the city people, x fast and determined. .s Music is like world peace, with 4. Brahm's Lullaby as the peaceg' Music is like world war, with the Warsaw Concerto as the wari Music is like kings heing crowned with Pomp and Circumstance. Yes, music is like life. .Yzmzmer .Worm By Margarita Ramos. A8 Hills and valleys are cheerful in the sunlight, Everything is warm and happyg Soon everyone is gloomy and melancholy Because a dark cloud is overhead. The rain comcs down gently, Making trees slowly swayi 'l lse leaves on the trees are glistening, And lhe hillside looks freshly-washed. Uur Eunsciences ay Le any Hniaernnin, B9 God guides us through our consciences, He must have wanted it that way, When we try to fool our consciences, it is c-sa we disobey. Music, , By Nallinc Mershon, B9 A m:u:h is the tramp, tramp, tramp, Of nn army of gallant men. A lullahy is the gentle sway of trees When a breeze is blowing. A symphony is s king rising maicstically Above evil, and ruling with wisdom. Music is a bond of friendships A symhol of human understanding, A universal language: lt unites the world in one great song. Y be Eucalyptm' By Raymond Terry, A9 Tell they stand. Like sentinels, They guard the gate- Their trunks rise toward the lkY- Their limbs slim and graceful, Their leaves long and sleek. The Wind By Alva Anderton. A8 Sometimes the wind is like a new- horn lamb on a spring day, Or it is like n gentle kitten pni-ring for some milk, Andi then it is, meek and' afraid that in might wake sis, X ' The new spring plants Mother Nature has tucked away. But sometimes the wind is like s ferocious tiger Rcrdy to spring on its prey, Vicious and violent, Ready to strike at anything that stands in its way. Home and Get Them By Then... Russell, A9 It's is fight to the finish when it starts, The pe0ple who are in it have no hearts, They hump and scrape, and sometimes scream, You would think it was a nightmare or is had dream. The doors are open: the crowd runs mg The first to the counter is the one to win. A sign in the window explains the fact, Come and get them. ladies! Nylons are hack! Freedom By Natalie Alsei-ty, A9 Like playing a fantastic game of tag l emerge from the mysterious depths of the ocean And come tripping in, laughingly aesigin, the tin, ehilasen Who watch me lap the gentle shores. The foam on my crest is happiness bubbling over For l am free. I can see the sky, the seagulls, and the swaying palm trees. But now, hack l gn, anxiously nwaiting my turn to come again. The Hill in March By Fred Tschoppi A9 Trll stands the hill, purple and green, Stately trecs and winding ravines- Cocl's work is plainly seen. On this hill where the winds fly by, Hear the children play and cryi Their kittl dance with the wlltling winds Then dbwn they come to rest on the ridge. Night is coming and all is still: Nothing astir upon All nt once we hear a sound 'Tis the friendly cricket, making his rounds. the hill: Then l see it in the gray-dim light- And lhcn it fades, out of sight. Yosemite By csihei-ine Perry, A8 Your lakes so crystal clear, Your pcalts that tower ahove Rcstful high mountain meadows And trnils that we'Ve grown to love. Your falls that roar and boom, Your hirds so cheerful and free, All of you've grown so dear to us, So dear to us, Yosemite. You're never away from us- ln our dreams you are always there Some day we'll come hack tn you To stay in your land so fair.
