Student entries in poetry contest 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. Darlene Ducharme A0A00.00RA A 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. Pat Van Wieren . 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. Janet Deters 0! John Creces She never had a father, Her mother was a drunk Left her at the church Hoping God would keep her forever more.

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. Rita Farwell Anonymous Mike 01. Kevin Matteke 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, FUTURE SECRETARY — South Huron District High school commercial student Heather Whitney is spending this week at the W. H.

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 County, Jane Monet' MECHANIC AT WORK — This week many students of; outh Huron District High School participated in the annual work week campaign, Mechanic student Paul Munn, centre is spending the week at Graham Arthur Motors.
