Who says that all is right When men are sent to fight And a single murder sets The nation into demonstrations.

When ,there is marijuana and other drugs And pick-pockets, thieves, and thugs When people are kidnapped in the night, Who says thait all is right?

"AJJL IS WELL"

By Nicholas Drinker '70

Atfter the blizzard all is well. The air is crisp and clean and the wind is cutiting my face like a saber. The snow sparkles in the sun, and I have to shade my eyes from its brightness. The trees hang low from the heavy burden of snow that they carry. I feel sorry for the meek trees that did not survive and lay broken on tJhe ground. As I walk, I forget the problems that bog me down and begin to enjoy the scene that is before · me. ·God! . How I love this place; i,t makes me feel as though I belong to it, that I should live in it, and that I should share its beaitings. · I wish I could hear this place; my ears are longi ng to hear this, my place of thought. I must return to my school ; perhaps they will fix ·my ears, and I will hear again.

Bye place; see you again sometime. As I started back , my problems returned, and I shed a tear. Oh Well , so it goes; after the blizzard all is well.

" ALL IS WELL "

By Belmore Browne '69

I went down where fairies dwell To ask about a dream.

And though they answered all quite well, I did not rule supreme.

They said that men were brothers, And this seemed all quite well; But till men love each o-ther, Our survival will be hell.

"ALL IS WELL "

Contributions By 1967-1968 Cardigan Student Council

By John Mac,Fadyen '68 Falling through the silent air, She wondered if the boy would come.

The wind rushed through her golden hair, She was going, she wondered where.

11he street below of grey cement, Came doser, clearer, as she went ; Onward, downward to repent.

As if by Him she had been sent.

She wished the people there would scream, Would cry and interrupt her dream.

She hoped and prayed that she could seem Less like waiter, more like cream, Dropping through the silent air.

Falling down to devil 's lair She was displaying her beauty fair; But none was there.

Now I can hear the chapel bell Lt toll; about the day she fe11 And in the stillness it seems to tell All now is well.
