{ OETS CORNER (omitted from Wednesday issue for lack of space) • THE HALLOWEEN GHOST The Halloween Ghost will soon be here Yet are you full of fear? Are you afraid of the Halloween Ghost Who will soon be your host?~- He will be here on Halloween night, So just try to hold back your fright. Even though he has a face, You wouldn't notice it in its place. He has it in his arm, Right where it can do no harm. So from me I'd like to hear it, Happy Halloween to the Halloween Spirit. Dave Lindquist ALONE Alone, 1 cry this word out into the darkness of the night. I am alone again... and there is no place where I can hide. You brdUght the sunshine with you when you entered my life.... But you are gone now... there is no reason for me to stay alive. The day you walked away from me -u stayed behind -. I knew my heart was broken * and love I could never again find. Our promise to each other r on that day when we were wed.,.. to love each other and stay together I think now, you did forget../ • A slight fear was always living with me for that same day, when I am old, That you might leave me and go away without even letting me know. And now my fear from yesterday came true and I am all alone.... I must learn to face life without you, but I will always be waiting for you, at home... Maybe some day you will return and once again, we live like husband and wife. Until that day, I will now live... for you are my only reason, for my life, (by Maria Heiser) THE SUNRISE 0, sunrise, Beautiful sunrise, How you inspire me! 0, sunrise, Beautiful sunrise, How beautiful are thee. O, sunrise, Beautiful sunrise, As you turn a crimson yellow, My thoughts they do mellow! 0, sunrise, Beautiful sunrise, As I just stop to think, You turn a very pale pink! O, sunrise, Beautiful sunrise, As you turn a blue that's mellow, The clouds above now turn yellow! (This poem was written by Stephanie Allen, a fifth grade student at Edgebrook School). I Found a Lucky Penny : Slowly leaf by leaf softly peals .'a omits base and oh so, lightly trickles and ^ glides towards the ground - Stars , begin to (reign) and shine in the heavens above, and slowly through the entire night, they become that day 1 F>r Penny, it's not just mother day, for it's the one time she'h always remember And like her, a whole new array of rainbow colors are to be discovered! While walking among big and mighty oak trees, I tried with all my might 40 • compare a brightly colored leaf, much like that of a rainbow, with that of Penny, And to no surprise was I not able to do just that---y>.-- For not like the leaf, Penny, had real to honest life and freedom abounding, which the leaf left only the remembrance of what once was. And so, I really found myself a Lucky Penny, your week ahead by pr.a.w.damis Forecast Period: November 4 to November 11,1973 ARIES This week in particular, it's the old story of: A Mar. 21 - Apr. 19 bird in the hand.

SAGITTARIUS There will be small difficulty in your seeing Nov. 22 • Dec. 21 that a few of your associates have under-esti mated your ability.

Success, this week, will provoke envy. It seems singularly pointless to tell you; never theless, your relationship with the opposite sex is beginning to drift. Take nothing for granted. You're not a student of the theory that no one should be trusted; but, make certain that you sign nothing that commits you to a long term obligation.
