Your love makes my w'orld
bright
Just like a sun that shines at
night
Always enlightening thig
heart of mine
In the darkness hour, I have
sunshine.
Being with you makes my
world bright
Like the sun you have an
everlasting light
Always enlightening this
heart of mine
In this troubled world, you
spread your sunshine.
Loving you puts my heart on
wings
Romantically zapping my
heart strings
You arc always enlightening
this heart of mine
To many of my days you have
brought sunshine.

Tlw Legend OfQtllt'^e Fellarf'
By Chuck King
I guess you thought I'd not
compose
A poem on the self-same sex.
Somehow or another I will
expound
Using college fellars as a
text.
There's the guy whose a gen
tleman
Opening doors and pulling
out chairs.
He'll carry books and polite
ly speak
A charming personality he
bares.
The "Hound, " the "Dog, " —
the "Lowdown ' one
On campuses they seem to
feast.
Sentiment, respect, care or
concern
Qualities
least.
Roaming
w'oman
Treating them as low grade
stock.
Imprisoned they seem in
ignorance
A prison w'ith a keyless lock.
The day will come when gen
tlemen roam
The "Hounds"''and "Dogs "
fade away.
For the beautiful women of
college campuses
That will be Iheir rejoicing
day.

If Only. . .
By Valery Frazier
If only I had been the first
As I always wished to be ...
Then there would be no rea
son
For my doubts of you and me
If only you had reached out
for me
And told me how you felt. ..
Then I would have consider
ed your problems
I know, I could have dealt
If only we could concentrate
On lives we've chosen to lead
And think only of the neces
sary
Throw away, what we don't
need...
‘ ‘'Special People ’ ’
By Vivian Kelly
There are two special peo
ple. who mean so much to me
I love them both so dearly,
because they do so much for
me...
When I am down and in the
blues, they pick me up and
get me back in the groove .,,
When times are hard and
friends are few, I never have
to worry, because they are al-
ways there to solve my every
worry. These tw'o very "spec
ial people, " I guess you know
by now'...
Are both my mother and fa
ther. with love sparks around
their hearts.
Do you know the basic needs
of every human heart?
Love, physiological, security
and then two other parts.
No Nese. don't worry. No
Nese. don't you threat. ..
Cause Lillie Mae and James
have not failed you yet.
Let's give our Howers to
loved ones.
Let's show them that we care
Don't wait to give them at the
altar, with tears we all shall
bear.
77;.// Hii^'
That hug you gave me the
other night.
Gave me a good feeling — the
feeling was right,
I I'elt a true need to be much
closer to you.
But with the time we had it
wasn't much we could do.
The warmth of your body kill
ed the cold of Jack Frost.
And sent me in search of a
mind I had lost.
Oh, it was so good
I had todo it again,
I even added a short kiss
to make a good end.
Nothing could replace or put
in a plug.
To fulfill the warmth of that
first hug . ..

Ecata-iy
By Tyrone Powell
Ouh, you look so good to me
Your name is in the alphabet
That ranges from A to Z
Of all the letters in the alpha
bet
Only 16 matter to me
If you're wondering what the
letters are
Don't be shy, just ask of thee
And weTl explore together
in ecstasy
//V )ou
By Chuck King
Gracefully stretched across
your being
A smile as wide as the river
Nile
The reflection as if the sun
shone down
Illuminates the world
around you
On display for the world to
see
A personality as a peacock s
tail
The beauty brings one to a
pause
To appreciate the care you
take...
The Look of Spring
By Jonathan Fant
As we ease into the winter
months of 1981, there is a seg
ment for Spring fashions.
This Spring brings the look of
flashing colors and uncon
structed material designers.
Names such as Sassoon, Ser
gio Valente, Gloria Vander
bilt, Bobbie Brooks, will ap
pear here and there.
The Fashion Spirit of
Spring is change and move
ment. There is a definite
body attitude. What you wear
and how you move will all
function in unity. Remember.
By Stephen McFarland
The stars are out. The moon
was full of light, but strangely
dark, still was that night. Sud
denly. there was something
oddi Lightning! No. thundei’l
No. airplanel No. maybe God!
Up into space we looked —
eyes open wide. We saw it —
an object glowing about a
half dollar in size. Coming,
coming closer and closer to
ward us orground. We did not
know, we just w'aited not
making a sound. Stopped! It
did stop at the height of a tall
pole. Oh, how that did relieve
our soles. What is this thing

I'l'om earth, from space — it
must be. More people
stopped their cars and got
out. An I'FO! A L'FOITheyall
began to shout. Five minutes
past, the 20 more then as if
deciding, we were a bore.
The visitor in the sk> slowly,
slowly faded away — saying
— Maybe I'll see you another
day. Boom! In^a Hash of a se
cond he was gone. My friends
and I drove excitedly home.
Moma! Moma! Guess what we
saw. She's not listening. I'll
tell pa! Well as it turned out.
and I know now why. No one
believed, we saw a visitor in
the sky.
we all looked to see. Nothing
/ Want You Here With Mt
By Frances Sellars
I want you here with me so I
can tell you about my day.
And you can tell me what's
happening down your way.
I want you here with me so I
can tell you how I've miss
ed you,
So we can relax and do what
you want to do.
I want you here W'ith me so I
can whisper sweet things
in
Your ear; things to make you
feel good every day of the
year.
I want you here with me so I
can massage your back;
So I can hug and kiss you the
way you like.
I want you here with me so I
can have someone to hang
on to.
And never let you go until
you say "I Love You. "
I want you here with me so I
can pour all my love out on
you.
And make you feel like you
are brand new.
I want you here with me so I
can tell you what's on my
mind;
Things I've always longed to
to say. but never had the
time.
I want you here with me so I
can give you just what you
want;
And hope you say I do, and
not I don't.
Twill always cherish you like
a golden key;
Which will some day open the
heart I hold inside me.
I long to tell you all these
things, you see;
That's exactly why "I Want
You Here With Me"!!!
Merry Christinas
By Valery Frazier
Oh! What a beautiful day
When Jesus Christ was born
People

While
horns...
The stars

And gifts
gathered around
Angels blew their
were shining
were given too
there is no stiffness in the
construction of clothes. The
strong element is softness
and unconstructed garments.
They never overpower the
body.
The very loose garments
are everywhere. This is defi
nitely the season when care
ful editing has to be dis
played in the selection of
clothes for your own ward
robe. Everyone knows that
clothes of this extravaganza
are not for everyone.
Never That Special You
By Stephen McFarland
My heart is lonely
My soul is blue
Trying to find my one and only
If only I could find that special you
One after another I thought I'd
found
That special love come true
One after another they turned me
down
I still have not found that special
you
Like a wandering Gypsy trying to
find a home
Going from place to place
I try to find someone to call my own
Going from face to face
I've seen a million, maybe even two
Yel still. I can't find that special
VO II
Loneliness makes the time go slow
flours like days, weeks, like
months, the years seem few
.4s if my heart needs time to know
There is no special .vou
Staring out in the vast emptiness
Lost like an innocent child
Seeing no light of happiness
My emotions running wild
Thoughts of eternal loneliness
were not to few
Perhaps I pondered. I'll never find
that special .vou
Like a Napoleon. I will not succumb
to defeat
Though my spirit be tired, my heart
blue
Gallantly. I will continue to seek
That very special you.
Oh! Why can't we be thank
ful
For all that God can do ...
Let’s take the time to thank
God
Forgiving us His Son ...
And for giving us our health
and strength
And sorrow as well as fun
Now, I must say Merry Christ
mas
May all your dreams come
true
Remember it’s the birth of
Christ
And be careful w'hat you
do..,
The Riiifi '
Our world ended and fell
apart
I threw the ring away
It sank just like my empty
heart
In the sea where it shall stay.
I took the short walk to the
sea’s bank
And pulled the ring off my
finger
Threw it in the water and
watched as it sank
There was no other reason
to linger.
The day that you walked out
on me
Gave me an empty feeling
That’s why I ran out to the
sea
And threw away the ring.
The ring had ,lost its real
shine
Our love was finished oo
Although the ring wa- nine
I didn't want it withoiu you.
