Possibility of War
Prise Contribution
BY DORIS BALLARD, 1
Hyattsville High School.

by DOhlS bALLARD, II,
Hyattsville High School.
When we consider world affairs,
We wonder what's in store.
Will peace in Europe finally
come
Before there is a war?
Will Hitler set the world ablaze
With some new conquest? Or
Can England, France and other
nations
Establish friendly world rela-
And thus avert a war?
From DER the distant waters
The threat'ning storm clouds
roar;
And in suspense the world
awaits
Another futile war.
For human nature doesn't
change!
And history's proved before
That there are always certain
men
Who try to conquer all; and
then
1t drives them into war.
Why're we worried? Why's the
world?
Because no one is sure
OF what will happen each new
day.
What pawn Herr Hitler plans
to play.
Will Italy now lead the way?
America plunge into the
fray?-
God, keep us out of war!
