A FORMER SPRING The spring came lovely, prodigal and sweet, All bathed in brilliant light and strewing flowers; She swiflty flew, and after her there came A swarm of birds who piped with all their powers. New life had come and all things had a voice: The greenwood rustled in a joyous mood, In all there was a song, a smile, or ringing tone, But I lay sick and weak, in solitude. I lay and thought. “The spring has come for all; For everyone she has a gift to bring; But yet for me alone she has no gift, I am forgotten by the jocund spring." Nay, spring did not forget! An apple tree Tapped with its branches on my window pane; The tender green leaves flashed before my eyes, The snowy blossoms dropped like falling rain. Then in my narrow chamber came a breeze, Which sang to me of spring’s broad, free domain, And with it came the music of the birds, While all the forest echoed its refrain. My soul can nevermore forget the gift Which lovely spring brought to me where I lay; No other spring e’er was and e’er shall be Like that which in my window bloomed that day.

Resnik joined five of their male, fellow astronauts aboard the C h a lle n g e r space shuttle in a “routine” mis sion. One minute and a half later their journey termi nated in the worst tragedy of the American space program. Weeks have passed since that day, which stunned the nation with its brutal quickness and mercilessness. The shock, hurt and sorrow has somewhat lessened for us who are not personally tied to this event. Yet, what emerges is a pride and wonder at the gutsiness, the raw courage and the power of conviction of these remarka ble individuals. V. Chebanyk. Lesya Ukrainka. В. Чебаник. Леся Українка. Women are not new to the space program. In 1983 Dr. Sally K. Ride, the first American woman in space, paved the way for Judith Resnik who was in the pro gram since 1978 and flew her first mission in 1984 aboard the maiden voyage of the shuttle D isc ov ery. Dr. Resnik was an electrical engineer and a mission special ist aboard the C h allen g e r. Christa McAuliffe was the most unusual member of the Challenger team. Vivacious, enthusiastic and dedi cated to her teaching profession, Mrs. McAuliffe was the winner of the nationwide competition to place the first private citizen aboard a space shuttle.
