Though men may be ambitious, As was General Robert Lee They cannot quite accomplish Much as the honey bee. THE PERFECT NIGHT The night was dark. There were stars in the sky but no reveal- ing moonlight. Along the horizon northern lights shone. They were red and green streaks, shining in the sky and giving every- thing a weird, unnatural look. A low moaning sound echoed through the night. It was enough to send shivers up and down your spine but it was only the wind. It was a strange, wild wind; at one moment gently whispering through the trees, and the next whirling fiercely and howling the secrets of the night. In the course of the wind's mad capers the leaves whirled and rose from the ground in a ghost-like dance. On this night the leaves seemed to have life, as if moved by some evil force. The wind in the tall grass was like the wind over the lonely ocean. It seemed to reach into the deep, dark caverns of nowhere. Of course these thoughts may have been created only by the feeling of the supernatural and the unknown with which this night seems to fill our imaginations. With the wind in the trees and the blowing leaves, all other sound seemed smothered. You would not have recognized your own voice if you could have spoken, on a night like that. By that time your imagination was very vivid; you thought you saw creeping figures. Why were they moving stealthily along? What were you getting into! Could it be—oh, no, it couldn’t be! You listened, petrified, in your tracts. The wind, that mad wind you know, carried their voices to you. They said, “This is a perfect night for it, isn’t it? No one will ever see us.” “Yes,” replied the other, “this is a perfect night for—Hallowe’en.” Betty Pudvah ’48 f 17]
