Page Four THE POINTER February 7, 1950 n Poem Written By English Teacher To Be Published Notice has lately been received from headquarters of the National Poetry Association in Los Angeles, California, that the manuscript submitted by Miss Muriel Bul- winkle, member of the local high school faculty, has been accepted by the board for publication in the National Poetry Anthology (for Teachers). “You will b e interested i n learning,” states the secreta^ in an accompanying letter, “that your work is one of about five hundred chosen from over ten thousand manuscripts sent in by teachers, instructors, and. profes sors.” Miss Bulwinkle’s poem, L’Envoi written some years ago when she was POINTER adviser, follows: The book is closed—and now Too late it is to turn the pages Backward, moved by keen regret For all we could but have hot done. Too short have been the days! Each coming one brought tasks That crowded out the time for dreams— Those dreams that might have turned Dull ore to shining gold. Yet though the past cannot return. Held in the grasp of yesterdays. The future glows with hope— The light that ever leads us on Through days of high endeavor. Until at length we stand on a “Well-foughten and a glorious field.” Boys Try Out For Sports Announcing Sportscasting for students is the most recent opening in the announcing staff of WHPS.
