BOYS:D. Pfannenstiel, S. Siemens, B. Kreutzer. GIRLS:j'. Winchester, L. Cable, S. Berning, I. Hamilton, I. Berning. TOP WINNERS: LaVon Grusing, Sharily-n Berning, and Dale Naiman. LITERATURE Mc1n's Words Fill The Void Of Time Words, words, words - a ceaseless flow from the hearts and minds of men give expression to their innermost desires, their seeking for self expression, and their hope for recognition. Some use the longer prose of the novel to uncover the bad in the world---others its media to show beauty and love. Poetry's fleeting form, now a ballad, a sonnet, or blank verse, becomes the vehicle for man's deepest emotion. Drama, the short story, the essay and all other forms of literature strive to fill the void of faceless recogni- tion of ages past. Man wants his words to fill the emptyness of time. The students of Wichita County Community High School have added to the words of the masters in some small measure. I.aVon Gruising was chosen to receive the second place award in the KANSAS AUTHORS SHORT STORY competition. Dale Naiman's poem was published in the NATIONAL POETRY AND ANTHOLOGY Sharilyn Berning received the merit award from KANSAS AUTHORS for her poem entitled Nightfull. 56
