WINTER Announced by all the trumpets of the sky. Arrives the snow: and driving o'er the fields. Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air Hides hills and woods, the river and the heaven. And veils the farm house at the garden's end. After the storm has spent its force the world lies quiet under an immaculate blanket . Gone are the tempestuous winds of autumn and the flocks of wild birds streaming southward through frosty air. How still, with the stillness of death, the world seems! But deep down under the surface of this dormant earth days of activity and quiet achievement follow one another. For this is not death this is simply a time set aside by nature for a deeper exploration into the heart of life. This is the time for long happy hours around the fire-place, when friends sit and share their hopes and dreams. Outside, snow sifts gently through the lumin- ous air into the bushes and earth. Inside, a group of young people amuses itself with song and story. Soon the warmth of the fire and the mysterious, silent blanketing of the earth lull them into drowsiness, and they begin to weave dreams in the leaping flames. The future opens up iike a flower, and they see themselves happy, famous, and full of wisdom. This is the time for strenuous sports out-of-doors. Hillsides ring with skiers streaking down; bob-sleds creak against the hard-packed snow ; skaters execute intricate figures on the solid ice in the river. This is the season for thrilling basketball tournaments. Players grow tense as the score stands 25— 25! A breathless hush hangs over the gymnasium. Ottumwa sinks a basket— and pandemonium breaks loose— Programs sail through the air, cow bells clang, the band breaks into a paean of joy. When t he gun barks the end of the game a multi-colored throng flows out onto the floor. The Bulldogs have won! But above all. these short, brisk days when dusk settles in early arc the time for scholarly activities. Everything else takes a secondary place. Sport is ex- hilarating. friendly chats amusing, but there is work to be done! Long hours in the library poring over the wisdom of the ancients, or in the laboratory investi- gating the pathways of modern science- these are the hub of our winter life. An impulse to understand the world in a larger sense animates our struggles. W e enter with zest into the grown-up world that takes a serious interest in the pro- gress of humanity. Then who would lament the passing of autumn? Keen as arc its joys, those of the w inter aie deeper and stronger. Who would anticipate the magic of spring? The sober happiness of winter has its own beauty.
