Poetry FIRST PRIZE: TO KICK! OR NOT TO KICK! Have you Ever Faced the question Walking on a Sunny, Pebbled, and Peaceful Path? Your Peace is Disrupted. On the other hand, One may well stub one ' s toe; On the other hand. One may find a mossy rock. Even so - Weighing the facts - It seems wise Not to kick. Linda Ghan - 10a SECOND PRIZE: ODE TO W. C. I. Strolling in school the other day Among the boys, I heard one say, What a team we ' ll have next year! I hope it ' s true, but I won ' t be here. I won ' t be walking in this old hall. When school convenes this coming fall. Just four short years as a student here. Then a graduate of her fiftieth year. In a way I ' m glad school ' s almost done. But I ' m going to miss both the work and fun. Still in years to come as I backward gaze. What a joy to recall Collegiate days. THIRD PRIZE: ODE TO A SPRING MEADOW Oh to be in the meadow yonder; To shout, to sing, and to idly wander; To hear the frogs and the honking geese. Sweet vernal sounds that seldom cease; To catch the glimer of silver rain. The budding trees in the winding lane; The winged hum of a thousand bees. Curtsying crocus, the soft spring breeze; The busy mouse in the perfumed grass - On God ' s green earth naught can surpass. Lucille Aitken - Ik HONORABLE MENTION: PRAIRIE WINTER A sky of blazing brilliant blue; Landscape of purest white; Against the wind, trees stout and true. Project against the light. Shadows cutting across the snow. Stretching with feline grace; The orange warmth of the sunset ' s glow Leave only a violet trace. The heavens seem cut in a starry swath. Pierced through with brilliant spars. Of Nordic light; while with frozen wrath The night shakes a million stars. -- Jane Sather - 11a Derell Rodine - 12a
