DIQLLA E. Slxwsox H6r1L17lli5fI'EXS You, the Seniors, are eager for the wider experience toward which you move next year. That spirit is right and good, You have made a fine contribution during your years of training at Columbia and it is with confi- dence that I see you go your ways to college years. Nell Slcillin I know of no better advice to you at your Commencement time than to recommend that you read, and act upon, the following quotation from Samuel johnson: "Life affords no higher plea- sure than that of surmounting difiiculties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes, and seeing them gratified. He that lalmors in any great or laudable undertaking has his fatigues first supported hy hope, and afterwards reward- ed hy joy . . . To strive with difliculties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicityf' Della Simpson Miss Nlc1.l.Sku.l.iN AA'Sf51'r17If H C'!'Id7llf5T7'CS5 E IIEIIICATE THIS BUUIQ l To our "Mademoiselle" and "Senorita" we dedieute this hook with affection.

HASTY PUDDING He touched the rim of the glass before him with strong tanned fingers. It was the only cool object in the dark room of hot music, hot argu- ments and smoke. He knew his eyes were staring but he made no move to correct them. He thought "T. Peck Rockwell . . . Telson Peck Rockwell . . . Rocky." After a minute he got out his pen and wrote it on a napkin as he had often written it on a check. HT. Peck Rockwell III." It looked well. "Oh when the saints go marchin' in . . . oh when the saints . . . " The jazz was good tonight. It was hot, the way jazz was meant to be. It was his kind of music, the way Chopin and Rodgers' waltzes were his kind of music. "Hey," said Mark, "There's old Bill Worth, must go say hello to him." Rocky looked into his empty glass. He had decided definitely that he was not a snob. He was glad to be friends with anyone who interested interest him, but anyone had taste. Probably him. Of course there were those who did not there were boys who were not interested in him either. "Well," Otis said, "I just think I'll have another little snifter ro aid my conversationf' The boys who did not interest Rocky were the Harry High-School boys, the ones who wore corduroy jackets and blatant ties. He would give them a chance though, certainly. But more than likely he would then deny them a place in his life. "Say, Otis," fthis was john talkingj "what- ever became of that girl you knew in Provi- dence?" The boys who did interest Rocky were with him now. None of them were snobs. They had come from good families, not necessarily wealthy ones. Across from Rocky were john and Otis, the first short, deep-voiced and kind, the second handsome, sensitive and friendly. Next to Rocky sat Mark, lucky, humorous, willing to please. They were good friends, these four. They con- sulted and gave advice. They discussed intellec- tually, they had a heck of a good time. At present they were disappointed. " . . . those Basin, Basin, Basin street Blues." Otis beat his hands on the table. They were good thin hands. There was nothing wrong with those hands of Otis'. They were good men. From good prep schools and good towns. They were above the average mentally, socially. They were good men. Not one of them had been accepted in Hasty Pudding. They spoke of everything but this phenom- enon. The dance at Westport they had so suc- cessfully crashed. The coup of getting to know Debbie Reynolds. They had never made fools of themselves. They were not making fools of themselves now. They were pleasantly and cheer- fully tight. They decided that Anne Lowell was the great- est girl any one of them knew. They concluded that the boys who said they fiunked out because of the war scare were liars, and that if they fiunked out it was because they were lazy. They were lazy. But they had worked hard on this Hasty Pudding thing, and they had not been accepted. "Therels a Harry High-School" said john. Rocky nodded. In misery they took apart the Harry High- School. They criticized his dress, his hair cut, his walk. They ordered four more scotch and sodas and drank them miserably. Then they walked back to their rooms, pausing once to watch a freshmen rally in the square. They went on to their fireplaces, letter writing, night caps, and double decker beds. There T. Peck Rockwell silently cried himself to sleep. Patricia Goodwin '52 COFFEE HOUR Betsy stirred the coffee slowly with her spoon and watched his thin hands carefully light a match. They shook so very little, she thought, without meaning to notice if they shook at all. She had been going to be so careful not to notice things like that. It had been explained countless times. Don't expect too much. She had waited a long time to be able to smile into his eyes with her own, now she dared only watch his white fingers lighting a match. Don't expect too much at first. W'ar is difficult ro live tlfrrouglv. Coming home is a second battle. Try not to expect . . . change is inevitable. . . Had Nick changed? She looked up from his hands slowly, white shirt, red and blue tie, collar, throat. Suddenly she could wait no longer. She looked gently, yet searchingly into her brotheris face. The clear eyes met hers for an instant, then fell to the cup of coffee before her on the table. He grinned a little. Her heart stumbled in its beat. "Strong enough for you?" "Yes. Where did you ever learn to make good coffee? "I learned to make bad coffee on a snow bank over there. This was easy." She laughed. And it was hard for her to laugh at that. She saw him bending down to light an impossible fire, watching his pot of coffee anx- iously, waiting to be warm again. She saw the blue fingers of his friends taking it eagerly, hold- ing it to their cracked lips. "Coffee hour was the happiest time of day," he said, remembering, "or coffee minute, if there was any excitement." She wanted him to tell her, but that was as much as he offered. She looked past him at the piano by the doors and wondered if he would play again. Here, Button-nose, this's for you! The songs were there as he had left them almost two years before. Sing Iohnny One Note, Sing out with gusto! If he had changed, how? He was thinner, needed a hair cut. He looked older, but he had been through a great deal. Almost shyly she be- gan telling him about his old friends and what they were doing. Would he hate it that they had not gone to war? Would he hate George for his job on the newspaper, Phil St. john for being able to finish school? As she talked she silently begged him to tell her how he felt. Oh Nick. Nick. Let me help. Only give me something to go on. lust something that will mean "I ha'ven't changed, not since we listened to 'Tom Mix' together at supper, not since we tumbled laughing into the house after skiing, not since we won the club tennis tournament. Not since the times we sat with Cynthia and Bud listening to Louis Aim- strong, or sailed with them that night at the cot- tage. I hafoen't changed. I hafuen't changed since New Y ork when you said goodhy that last time. I ha'uen't changed. Pm always Nick." She drank her coffee, put it down and smiled into his eyes. She had wanted him to be the same so terribly that, within her at least, he was the same. He smiled back. "I'm glad you haven't changed, Bets," he said. So he had worried, too! He had expected her to be different! Perhaps he, too, had been told, Don't expect too much. He had expected her to change and he, too, had been grateful. His eyes followed hers to the end of the table, went further to the piano. He stood up. "This one's for you, Button . . . " It was quiet, tender. It was Laertes to Ophelia, William NVordsworth to Dorothy. It was the epitome of happiness. Patricia Goodwin, '52 SNOW SOLILQQUY As I float down through the still, starless night, flake upon Hake, whiteness against whiteness, I begin to wonder where I shall settle to spend the last few seconds, minutes, or hours of my life. In what part of the world shall I drift down? Who will see me as I sink to earth? fl ll i if I may be the snow that conceals the white clad patrol as it skims down the mountain in search of the enemy. if li if it Perhaps I shall fall, unnoticed through the roar and sulfuric stench of guns, to melt in some dying young soldier's blood. Before the peaceful blanket of death completely shrouds him, he may gaze at me with fever-laden eyes, remembering his home, his girl, and the fun he had as a boy in the snow. Y if i i Maybe I shall not bring sadness or memories which will soon be forgotten. I may fall past a lace-curtained window where gay African violets bloom. Above these plants an old Frenchwoman may stare at me, remembering the fun and popu- larity that came in her youth when the snow fell. 1 I K l A pink slipper may be a contrast to my white- ness as a tiny foot is daintily placed on me. I may even be picked up and held in the billowing folds of pink net and swept into the ballroom, only to melt in the gaiety. Il K if 'U Then again I may delight some small boy or girl who has never seen me before. I can almost see the surprised looks on their faces when they feel me and find that I am cold. Then there will be the tender looks on their parents' faces as their children ask, "Daddy and Mummy, what is it? Where does it come from? How is it made?" 1 il ll IK Perhaps I shall be the snowball that will break the school principal's window, and cause five boys with chagrined faces to enter the office and render an abject apology. K i ll It A dog may use me to bury his newly received bone, concealing it within my depths, confident it will be in the same place when Spring comes. Sli 11 if ik I may be the snow that makes the slalom race a thing of adventure and courage. Two shining skis may spray me, like a thousand tiny diamonds, into the air, as the skis twist and turn between the red and white striped poles. I may be the long awaited snow that puts the final coating on the Olympic Ski jump. QF ll? fl if Perhaps I shall be the snow that answers all the prayers for a white Christmas, and makes Santa Claus seem more real than ever. I am destined to drift slowly down to some place, whether famous or unknown. I am destined to bring joy, sorrow, or old memories. I am destined to die, as all things must, somewhere-- but where and how? That is the question. Ann Littlefield '53 WAITING . . . DISAPPOINTMENT The atmosphere of the cafe is almost unbear- able . . . Smoke rises and drifts restlessly above the heads of the excited Frenchmen on all sides of me.

The door closes . . . a huge burly man staggers down the steps to the bar . . . Oh, why doesn't she come? The door again . . . maybe? . . . no, just another man for a glass of wine.

There, seated be- low, were the three Smiths and a guest. It was the guest who had shrieked. Poio was disgusted with the girl. What was harmful about himself, 44 a poor, innocent little spider, who had made his home with the Smiths for a number of months now? He was just beginning to feel at home be- cause he'd had time enough to establish a head- quarters in every corner of the living room, so that he didn't have to go very far when he wanted new food and a clean bed. Since the atmosphere was just beginning to get so homelike, Pojo hated to have somebody come along who didn't think that spiders were a legitimate part of every household. In his former residences, there had always been people with such notions, usually officious women, who came around with cloth-covered brooms and brushed away his homes. When people intentionally destroy one's home, it gives one the feeling that one is unwanted. Well, Pojo refuses to be pushed around, but he doesn't like to inconvenience people, either, if he can help itg so Pojo eventually left these residences, and after a good deal of gallivanting, he finally found the Smith house. That was three months ago, how- ever, and by now Pojo was beginning to look like a satisfied bachelor. He was a little plump- er, his black and white stripes had begun to stand out more distinctly, and all in all he looked like the perfect "catch" for any desiring young spider belle. All the young lady spiders used to turn up their noses at him because he had been so thin and shrunken from having moved so much. He had looked gray and dingy. But now Pojo wasn't gray, but beautifully black and white. And since he had settled down, he had time to clip all the fingernails on each of his six legs, and not just on one leg every night as he used to do. Yes, Pojo was really thriving. But it did disturb him when his presence ex- cited the Smiths' company. The Smiths, Mrs. Smith especially, had been very kind to him in his need. Please don't misunderstand me, though. It wasn't that Mrs. Smith didn't keep the house clean, or anything like that. She was a very metic- ulous person. But she did belong to the Humane Society, and she included spiders in her concep- tion of animals, and thought therefore that it was necessary to be kind to them. This was very much to Pojo's advantage, and, believe me, he reveled in his comfort. And because his bene- factors had been so kind to him, he thought that it was his duty to repay them in every way pos- sible, so whenever the Smiths had company he tried to be thoughtful and hide under or behind something. He always remembers with glee and also contrition the time that he hid at the base of a flower pot, and a rather large woman picked up the pot, saying, "My, what a lov- eek!-a spider!" and staggered backwards in alarm, drop- ping the pot with a crash. VVell, on this particular night, Pojo was feeling facetious, so, instead of hiding, as usual, he crawled along the edge of the ceiling to one of his homes which was located chummily over the dining table. Once there, he stationed himself con- tentedly, and smiled a wicked smile. The little girl guest, who was surveying the room from her seat, glanced up at the ceiling and uttered the cry previously recorded. Pojo, after looking down- ward, started to get up and methodically began to spin a thread down toward the table. Lower and lower he swung until he was within about two feet of the table. Here he hung by his toes and stared at the little girl, who by now was at the other end of the room, biting her fingers and screaming. Then, receiving an angry look from Mr. Smith, he scrambled back up the thread and sauntered awav along the edge of the ceiling, his business completed. While idly resting with his eyes closed, the next day, Pojo was rudely disturbed by some bristles prodding at his back. Presently he found himself being uncontrollably carried on the end of a broom toward the open door. Once outside he was abruptly deposited on the cold lawn. "Well," he said huffily, "There's just no love in this world!" and haughtily departed. Loraine Bills '5 3 "LET THERE BE LIFE" It is spring. Everywhere green is budding forth in hundreds of different shades. The whole world seems to be garbed in a new robe, all fresh and full of life. Everywhere life is going on with a new zest. Everywhere? No, not quite. In a small hospital room high on the fourth floor lies a little girl. For her there is hardly life itself, yet she has courage, and with courage a great will to fight, to live, to survive. The door to her room opens and admits a nurse and two orderlies. The girl is only semi- conscious. She has been given drugs to make her drowsy in preparation for the anesthetic and- the operation. She is gently lifted to the stretcher and covered with a sheet, then wheeled out. The nurse walks noiselessly beside the stretcher as it rolls down the corridor. Inside the operating room, the little girl is again lifted-this time to the operating table. She stirs and murniurs some- thing softly. The nurse takes her hand, while the doctor speaks to her in a reassuring voice. Now the little girl is conscious of figures mov- ing about and bending over her. She is once more inhaling "that peppermint-smelling stuff." fThis is not her first operation.j The figures seem to be dancing weirdly, now on the floor, now upside down on the ceiling. She can hear faintly the hushed whispers of the doctors and attending nurses, but it is as though they are speaking a foreign language that she cannot understand. She feels herself falling, yet she is strapped firmly to the table. She is standing on the edge of a high cliff. The cliff gradually gives way and she is falling . . . down . . . down . . . into the dark abyss of unconsciousness . . . The operation has begun. Marilyn Pucci '53 JONNIE There's only one boy in my life. His name is jonnie. I see him everyday. Almost always he is very sweet. He is a good conversationalist and also good at acrobatics. He isn't a very fastidious dresser-but then who wants the boy in your life to be "just sol" He is very tactful and clever. One day he came up to me and said, "Know something, I like you!" I would've done anything for him then. As a matter of fact, I did. He wanted somthing Nfvery important" done that instant. Quite often he eats supper with us. I remember one night in particular. We were having Haasen- pfeffer for dinner. He couldn't pronounce it even though he tried again and again. Maybe, if he had been just any boy it would have seemed queer-but with jonnie, it just added to his charm. jonnie has the ability to flirt with a girl without making her or anybody else angry, as some boys might have the bad fortune to do. No one can resist him at these times. Sometimes he comes up to me and says all sorts of fiattering things, with a devilish glint in his eye. I used to be taken in by that, but now I know that he only does it when he wants something or has a guilty conscience. Then is my time to watch out. Nevertheless, I always do what he wants or help him out of his embarrassing situation. I don't think I'll ever learn! Some days I look out the window and see jonnie sauntering across the backyard with his hands in his pockets-and inevitably a dirty old shirt on, and dungarees worn thin at the seat and knees. His hair at these times is never combed- come to think of it, it very seldom is. His hat, the one with the dog-eared felt muifs, is set at a ridiculous angle. His shoes are thick with dust or mud, as the case may be. All in all, he makes a very appealing picture, as I think, "There goes my little brother, jonnief' jane Knight '55 SO MUCH FOR A DOG A small chubby face pressed itself against the window of the Pet Shop and stared wistfully at the sad-eyed little puppy dog inside. "I just know he wants to come home with me," the small boy told himself. "No little dog wants to be kept in that big, awful old pet shop all the time." The child played his finger up and down the glass, watching the dog's tail Wag back and forth with the pleasure of having someone pay attention to him. Then remembering his mother home alone, waiting for his return, the boy said aloud, "I have to go now, little puppy dog, but don't you worry, cuz someday I'll take you home with me forever and then you won't never have to come back here again." Giving the dog one last look, the child turned and ran in the direction of home. His mother was putting what little food there was for supper on the table when he reached the flat. The boy noticed immediately that she was very tired, as she always was at night. Though she was still young, her steps were heavy and the lines across her forehead were deep. Years of supporting herself and a small son had not been easy for her. She looked up at the sound of the door slamming. "Come here, Bobby," she said. "There's an- other button off your coat. My goodness, but it's hard to keep you looking decent!" The boy ran toward his mother. "Oh, Mom, you got to let me have him. He wants me to have him." "What, Bobby?" She pulled his shabby coat from him and counted the missing buttons. "The dog, Mom," Bobby said excitedly. "I got to have him. You'd love him, Mom. I-Ie's so sad looking. I just know you'd love him." "What dog, Bobby?" she asked, laughing. "You're going so fast I can't keep up with you. Now start over . . . slowly." "Well," he began, "you know that pet shop down on the corner, Mom . . . Well . . . " "Pet shop," she interrupted him. "Pets cost money, dear." "I know, Mom, but it's not much. I asked the man in there yesterday and he said it was only five dollars, that's all . . . Aw . . . please, Mom." There was a long silence. The mother of the small boy looked slowly around their meager flat. She took in every detail-the old wooden furniture, the pot under the place where the roof leaked, the dime store dishes on the table. There was so much to spend her small supply of money on besides a dog. To her, five dollars meant eight hours of hard and grinding labor. If only she could explain to the eager child beside her that she simply couldn't afford to buy him a dog. If only she could show him all the things, so much more important, that she must save every penny for. If only she could tell him, and make him understand, that food and clothing had to come first. Her eyes rested on his patched shirt and his out-grown shoes, but then, meeting his happy, expectant eyes, she knew her answer. She would never he able to say no to this excited little boy, waiting for her to speak. Her new coat and the curtains would have to wait till next year-after all, she didn't need them, anyway. Susan Wells '54 HOLLY BERRIES Carolyn hurried into the door, her arms laden with packages, topped by a branch of holly. She plumped them down on the cheap, stuffed daven- port and took off her coat. Quickly she began to undo the packages, one by one. Most of them contained food, bought with money that had been saved for weeks. She unwrapped the small turkey proudly and carried it into her tiny kitch- en. Placing it in the icebox and piling the rest of her packages on the counter, she returned to the livingroom. Carolyn's eyes turned toward the mantel. Propped up on the top of it was a piece of yellow paper-a telegram. "Will arrive ll A.M. Christmas morning," it read. "Love, Jack." It was what she had been looking for for weeks. Anything to let her know that her husband would be home for Christmas. Yesterday, it had come. Carolyn sighed and sat down on the daven- port. "ll A.M. Christmas morning." Tomorrow was Christmas. And today, she had gone to the store and bought everything her pocketbook would allow-things she knew jack would like. First, holly with lots of berries, then turkey, dressing, good vegetables, squash pie. It was all here. All she was waiting for was her husband to complete her picture. She leaned back against the cushions and, exhausted from her shopping. fell asleep. The next morning dawned clear, crisp and cold. She straightened the tiny apartment and put the turkey in the oven. The table was set, everything else was ready, and she was too nervous to do anything but pace the Hoot and comb her hair. She made quick trips to the kitchen to look at the turkey and to assure herself that everything else was ready and waiting-waiting for him. As the clock was striking eleven, Carolyn ran to the window. A taxi was drawing up in the street below. A tall man in an army uniform got out, paid the driver and came into the building. She had not been able to see his face. She waited breathlessly for the door to the room to open. After a minute or two, she heard a knock. She frowned. It was funny that jack should knock. Slowly, she opened the door and found herself face to face with a tall man in the khaki-colored uniform of the army. "Mrs, Wakefield?" "Yes," she replied. "I'm Captain Downing, your husband's com- manding officer." "Yes," she repeated, slowly. "I have to tell you- . . . " he began, looking away from her. Carolyn closed her eyes and listened to him. Soon his words were just a muffled sound to her ears and she could catch only fragments of the horrible story he was relating. "Coming around a corner-the car swerved- unavoidable-died on the way to the hospital." Captain Downing raised his tired eyes to hers. He could catch nothing in her dead stare. He cleared his throat. "Here's something he wanted me to give to you. He wrote it right before he . . . " She held out her hand and took the crumpled note. Without looking at it, she smiled. "Thank you, Captain," she said dully. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Wakefield," he replied and started for the door. He opened it and before going out, turned and looked at her. "lt's funny how a man can go through a war without a scratch, then come home and . . . " he gestured hopelessly. I-Ie nodded his head and went out. Carolyn stood motionless, staring ahead of her. Slowly, she lowered her head and looked at the note. "Always remember that I love you, darling. jack." She repeated it several times, as if trying to find some hidden meaning in it. The note Hnally fluttered to the floor. Carolyn turned and started for the kitchen. janice Vaughn '52 THE FIRST SNOWFALI., Softly, gently, falling-all fluffy and white. Sparkling, twinkling, shining-like stars of the night. Each little flake, so beautiful to see- And they belong to me. But I will share them with you, with you, and you, And when that rascal sun appears, He'll share them, too! I.orane Clark, Grade 8 ONE MINUTE One minute-time enough to shape and build a dream, Or destroy it with bitter force. Long enough to start a new and beautiful life, Or cause its sudden death. Once gone it can never live again, Only the memory of it will remain. No two minutes are alike. Therefore, make the most of each Single, precious one. Treat a minute as a jewel that must not be lost, Or as money, to be spent wisely, but never wasted. And that one minute will repay you twicefold With more and happier minutes Following in quick succession.
