It is you who brought me happiness
Yet I was the one who said good-bye
You dropped into myself and I wondered why
The days pasted and I grew to need you
And as you drifted away it was I who fell for you
So why is it your arms around me which make me feel safe and no others
And why do I find it hard to let you go
Yet I was the one to say good-bye.
Life was going so smoothly,
I hadn’t planned on coming along.
But you did.
No one ever cared for me before,
I hadn’t planned on you caring for me.
But you did.
No one ever loved me before,
I hadn’t planned on you loving me.
But you did.
Everyone gets hurt now and then.
I hadn’t planned on you hurting me
But . . . you did.
How Little I Know
How little I know
How much I yearn to find out
To question is to understand
To understand is to care
To care is to love
To love is to give, to laugh, to touch
How much I have to learn
How I do understand, but knowing not why
These feelings are so confused
Cknow I love you. That is all I really have to know or understand
Why can’t things be simple, our love knowing no bounds?
Feelings. Why can’t things just happen?
Why must we question? I know.
Things in love and life are never that simple.
How I wish they were, with all my heart I wish they were.
So much indecision, so many ways to chose,
Growing up, making up your own mind.
Finding yourself is hard because you must
understand your feelings and stick by them.
How little I know.
How much I yearn to find out.

IT IS YOU
i lost you
and i realize
there’s no one to blame
but myself.
i tried too hard;
for what,
it’s beyond me.
i guess
for love
but in my search,
i overlooked
the best kind of love,
friendship.

BILLY JOEL
A TRUE
PERFORMER
By AMY ABBEY
Staff Writer
Ever since Billy Joel came out
with his famour tune, “Piano
Man" he has been on the rise
and is still continuing to climb.
Some of his most popular
melodies have been “Piano
Man,” “Captain Jack” and the
“Entertainer.” Later we began
to hear “Just the Way You Are”
and following this was “An
thony’s Song” until nearly every
song from “The Shanger” album
became a huge success. This
year we were introduced to a
new Joel album - “52nd Street.”
Unlike all the others, this album
took a little getting used to.
Many of the songs were not in
the usual Billy Joel style, and
unless you knew it was Billy
Joel’s album it was difficult to
relate them to the Billy Joel you
were used to. As usual though,
once the songs began playing on
the radio, they began to be
heard on stereos throughout the
country.
Like any young person, I too
became a Billy Joel fan. When I
heard from my friends that Billy
Joel was to conclude his tour in
New York City at Madison
Square Garden, I checked my
trusty bank account. Realizing I
had enough money for a ticket, I
spread the word to my friends
that they could include me in the
purchasing of tickets.
Billy Joel began his per
formances Thursday, December
14 and continued through Satur
day, December 16. Walking

exhibitionism while a specially
hired Samuri Usher will try and
persuade audience participation.
In case the persuasive attempts
fail, all doors and windows will
be locked and Prof. McKinstry
will present six of his favorite
“fun flicks” after which there
will be a quiz. A failing grade on
this quiz, six more films and
another quiz.
In the possibility that there
will be a show, all performances
will be judged by a
student/faculty panel on their
originality, satirical value,
audience reaction and dumb
luck. Admission is only one
dollar and proceeds from the
show will go towards the Samuel
Pritchard Academic Leadership
and Achievement Awards given
at the Spring Awards Banquet.
The prizes will be two fifty
dollar savings, bonds. : .
tan on Saturday night was as
though you were walking
through a Billy Joel paradise.
Tee-shirts, buttons, bumper
stickers and programs were
being sold for the usual high
prices but selling quite fast
nonetheless. .
As I was entering the front
doors of Madison Square Gar
den, the excitement started to
grow inside me and could be felt
all around. At 8:30 Billy Joel’s
band came out on stage. As the
audience started to scream and
jump out of their seats and
Madison Square Garden became
a festival of lights - Billy Joel
appeared on stage attired in
blue jeans, puma sneakers,
white shirt, tie and jacket. After
he “checked out” the audience,
and shook hands with the first
few rows of people he began his
show with “The Shanger." He
continued through the two and a
half hour show portraying the
true performer that he is. His
congeniality and effervescent
style thrilled his audience. His
voice and personality together
were more than his audience
could handle. When he tried to
leave after two hours of singing
almost every song from both
“The Stranger” and “52nd
Street” albums and a large
variety of hits from “Piano
Man,” “Turnstiles” and
“Streetlife Serenade," he was
brought back for four encores
from fans who just couldn’t get
enough of him. Three of his en
cores were “Only the Good Die
Young,” “Captain Jack” and
“Vienna.”
As the houselights were tur
ned up the more than pleased
and terribly excited faces of
those fans told the story. This
concert was truly one of the
finest concerts given and Billy
Joel one of the finest performers
to be found.
