ENGLISH THE LONELY, LOST SOUL
As I was passing the street o'er
the way,
I looked at the church, and
stopped there to pray,
Going inside I looked all around,
And then I saw sitting upon the
ground —
Then the church bell rang,
Silence fell upon
The cold, little baby,
An angel in disguise.

Itagro,
ardian She wore a ragged brown dress
Upon a filthy skum,
Her eyes bore the look of
loneliness
She motioned me to come.
It's a real drug.
To some it has kicks,
In the sense of the trip.
Some take speed,
For others it's DMT,
Or smoking hash r pot.
Some take it as juices,
Still others as tonics.
But Why? To rid problems.
Like Pollution, war.
To get away from it all.
What good are the trips,
Except for being by yourself
For 12-24 hours
In a place we'll never deemed of.
And it kills!
ENGLISH
What is our world coming to
There are people that think they
know the solution.
But yet there is one thing to
worry about,
We have to do something about
pollution,
Our waters, our air will be of
little use.
And then what will we do
When a gloomy haze covers the*
sky
And when our waters feel like
glue.
Some people try to stop this
While others think they have done
enough.
So take these words as a warning
For this problem is all up to us.

. HURRY
I sit alone,
Wilderness.
Wind blows,
Great firs rock majestically
Flowers bounce gaily.
I walk
Animals retreat to dens,
Insects flutter
Complete beauty, freedom.
I reach
Civilization
Grey skies
Poisoning factories
Rivers? Black.
Animals? Gone.
Hurry, bustle, rush.
No time to realize-
Man's great loss.
Looking into those big blue eyes
I questioned her but once,
The tale she told was one of sorry.
She was deserted, her mother
had gone.
LIFE, LOVE, DEATH
Love is life
life is death
death is love and life
death is sacred
life is fabatuse
love is hard to find
life can be rotten
death can be terrifying
love can be untrue
I need love
I want life
I fear death
some die a horrible death
some live a terrible life
some never find love
I have a love for life
and I live for love
but death will come
death will come
and I will live in a life
of love forever more
my life is but begun
I have found no love
I know not when or where death
will come.
love is life
life is death
death is love and life
and death will come.

She never had a father,
Her mother was a drunk
Left her at the church
Hoping God would keep her
forever more.

Happiness is life
Charlie Brown says
If there was no life
or strife for life
What would happen
What would happen
On this earth no freedom
If the bomb was dropped
If the world was stopped.
What would happen.
What would happen
On this earth no sense.
If drugs to over
Or overgrown with clover
What would happen.
What would happen
On this earth no peace
The world a major Viet Nam
The earth would be dammed.
What would happen.
What would happen
On this earth no God
No God of life
No reason for life
What would happen.
Drugs, jack of love
pollution, wars, money.
They are all problems.
There have, always been
problems.
There will always be.
Until the end of time.
WIPEOUT
Let's start to scream and shout,
How many of you are ready to
wipeout
Are you ready
One
Two
Three
Let's go
We're going, going, going
The world is going wild
Everything is going faster, up
and down
Like the horrifying scream of a
child
It's time we unwound
Someone help us,
We're going toofast help us
Some one please
help us
help us
Please
Hurry please
We've got to get back
Hurry please
Too late
THERE ALWAYS WILL BE
He thinks he can fly.
You know why?
He's on drugs.
In an unknown town,
On an unknown street,
Lies an unloved child,
Who's just been beat.
You can hardly see the sky,
Or the birds that fly by.
There's too much smog.
Fighting, shooting them down,
People dying all over the street,
Everybody's going wild.
Fighting in winter cold or
summer heat.
He lives in a ghetto
and he's filled with woe
He needs love.

Dear Editor,
Some students go to school to
learn, while others go to have fun
and spoil the chances for the
other people to learn.
They go and cause trouble;
then they blame other students
and even the teachers; then they
wonder why they lose friends.
Another thing that bugs me is
the fact that they Would, let say,
"yell" across the room to another
person disturbing other students
including the teachers who are
trying their best to teach the
students something.
You may have different ideas
from mine, but I feel that the
student who does not want to
come to school but has to, can
come if he will be quiet and think
of the others who want to learn.
Let them learn; t don't care if
they want to take tip a seat and
look stupid,

EDITORIAL
Students on board
By BOB MACKIE
The time has come for students to have a formal say in the
organization of the school system. Students, even with protests of
one sort or another, are usually ignored in their requests.
The education system directly affects the student's life so he
should have some say in how it is run. He should have equal say in
course preparation, teachers hired and fired and other such things,
The students responsibility in the deciding of representatives
would be not to turn it into a popularity contest or a joke like the
student council representatives and executive and the school queen,
The problems encountered would be which students would be
eligible, who would vote on it and how many representatives should
be chosen.
At least 50% of the school board Should be Students and these
seats would be divided among the five high schools of Huron
