Creative Writing Blossoms in New HHS Publication (Continued from page 1) periodically In ensuing years as an outlet for the creative talent of the students and give them a printed Incentive for expres sion. Typical of the Doetic material is "Simple Reasons" bv Mike liedman: "Everything was green In the mountains that day, "And the sun shone bright ly, with not a cloud In the way. "Everything looked clean with the freshness of spring, "And the music of the birds just made the air ring. 'The cold, wet snow had gone away, "To make more room for the squirrels to play. "In the woods I heard a scrape ana a crasn, "And saw a deer as to safe ty he dashed. "I looked up to watch an eagle soar, "Big and bold, the guard of Heavens door. "I caught a glimpse of a scurrying mouse, As he ran to the safety of nis mtie dirt house. "They caught my attention, as the robins played. "And I admired the job of tne nest they had made. "The squirrels were hustling and bustling, gathering up seed, "So when winter came that they'd have some feed. "The flowers and grasses blew in the breeze, "And I laughed as the In sects on them were teased. "These are what I love the mountains for. "These few simple reasons, and many, many more."

I By MARIE McQUARRlE As the weather gets nicer more women are coming out on Tuesdays for Ladles Day. On May 13. 12 lady golfers turned out to play the nine holes. We extend a hearty welcome to all gals that would like to play golf on our special day, start ing time Is 9:00 a.m. Ronnie Balfe and Barbara Clough plan ned the play and prizes for the day and also had a cool drink placed on Hole No. 7 for the "pause that refreshes." Beverly ounderson received a golf ball for low gross and Ronnie Balfe received a ball for the other prize. An eclectic score board has been prepared by Dee Crib ble, handicap chairman for the women, and we are working on that on our golf day. The first barbecue of the sea son on Saturday evening was a huge success! This also fell In to the two weeks' duties for hostesses Ronnie Balfe and Bar bara Clough. (Seems like they really had a workout on their scheduled two weeks, as set up by the programming board). About 20 couples attended, some playing golf before eating, oth ers coming out for the barbe cue. Special guests for the eve ning were Jeanine and Ken Turner, Judy and Norm Rickert and Glen Holmquist. Food was In abundance and if anyone went home hungry, it was not the fault of the good cooks that prepared it. Work on the new porch is progressing rapidly. It won't be long until it is finished and we can really enjoy it. Concrete blocks were poured last Thurs day and a crew worked Satur day on the underpinnings, which is a good start. Any offers to help will be gladly accepted by Ed Hiemstra and don't be sur prised if he calls on you to pound nails or whatever, when he has a work day planned. Many hands make light work, you know. Hosts for Sunday afternoon planned play were Marylee and Ld Hiemstra. Seven couples and six single men participated. Helen Schaffitz and Lowell Gribble were awarded golf balls for low score and for the two ball foursome. Judge Carmich- ael was the winner in the sing le men's group for a prize. Rain in the early afternoon looked like it might spoil Sunday's play, but there are always brave dedicated golfers that will take chance on old man weath er". As it turned out, by 3:00 the weather was beautiful for playing. The LeRov Gardners and Joe Balfes are schedeuled for plan ning next Sunday's afternoon of golf at 3:00. t it n " f ll ri FOR MBVlORIAlj DAY! -4 To Commemorate the Departed .. .
