JUST FOR YOU
Shortly after the removal of his
larynx his voice was silenced and then
a friend of mine, William L. McMorrow,
took his pen in hand and started to
write. Here are two of his composi
tions entitled nSilonce" and "Rain.”
;Jith many others they come under the
general title—"Just for you."
SILENCE
"While living in my 3:'lent world .
. . With pencil, pen and chalk ... I
?ound that nothing takes the place • •
, Of good old fashioned talk! • • • We
cake all for granted, till • • • for
reasons known to God . • . We lose the
-•if t of speech, and walk • • • In
silence on this sod . . • Sometimes
,t!s advantageous to . . . stand
ilently apart . . • And never speak
he word that mey . . • Cause pain in
someone’s heard ... And there are
-imes the spoken word ... In haste,
r pride in*fane . . • Brings sadness
,o a loving heart ... Or blush, to
■.heek in shame ... And so, when
ace again I talk . . . And reach my
rayerful goal • • • I pray ny words
ill never hurt ... Another living

RAIN
. The
• The fact
Into each life some rain must fall
• • • by poets, we are told * . * And
so, they make unbrellas for •
young and for the old * •
that you are young in years ... Is
not a certain sign • • • That you’ll
escape the heartaches, or • • • your
world will always rhyme • • • Nor
God, somehow sees to it that • • •
We all will have a share • • • And
somewhere on this road of life • • •
We’ll have cross to bear • • • Some
folks are glad to carry it • • •
They always wear a smile • • • While
others make a awful fuss • • • And
providence defile! • • • So why not
learn this simple prayer and say,
"Thy Will Be Done." . • • And you’ll
not need a raincoat when . . • lour
rainy seasons come*

room and students with smoke. EHLY has been
running around since then mumbling ’’every

We hear that MOREFIELD has been trying

It seems hs’s a former salesman and feels
everyone should have one. Hope you get it,
but it seems that youfre getting kind of
short to be taking up a project like that..
See you around
