THE OAK LEAF 35 MARY ROCHETTE 27 Windsor Street, Worcester My walls outside must have some flowers, My walls within must have some books; A house that’s small ; a garden large, And in it leafy nooks. — William Henry Davis French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Vice- President 3; Glee Club 2. ANITA SAMUELSON 62 Proctor Street, Worcester She has a clear wind-sheltered loveliness, Like pale streams winding far, and hills with- drawn From the bright reaches of the moon.

MARGARET SHAUGHNESSY 22 Piedmont Street, Worcester I fly from pomp, I fly from plate! I fly from falsehood’s specious grin! Freedom I love, and form I hate, And choose my lodgings at an inn. — William Shenstone Quarterly Review 3 ; Elementary Class Vice-Presi- dent 2.

LENA RINFRETTE East Douglas Still rosy are the bowers The walks yet green and trim; Among them let your whim Pass sweetly, like the showers, And lightly, like the flowers. — Pierre de Ronsard EVELYN ROBINSON Main Street, North Grafton Be still, while the music rises above us: the deep enchantment Towers, like a forest of singing leaves and birds Built for an instant by the heart’s troubled beating, Beyond all power of words.
