O YOU, the students of Blewett High School, to the classes which have gone before you, to the class which will graduate this Ianuary, we dedicate this book. But, more important than these, and most important of all, we dedicate this book to those who will come after we have gone. For, after all, it is the students that make a school: Page 2 and YOU. and to us, Blewett is more than a machine that turns out diplomas. To us, Blewett is warm, and living, but made so only by those Who attend it. And so it is that we, the staif of the Brochure for Ianuary, 1942, dedicate this book to the student body, in the hope that they will carry on in the future the ideals which have endeared Blewett to us.

A day spent in the classes and clubs, at the dances, and the events and achieve- ments of the students in all phases of school life. We sincerely hope that this Brochure for Ianuary, 1942, will provide enjoyment for its readers, and, in the years to come, be a source of pleasant memories of the many similar days we have spent at Blewett. Page 5 M7 Q0 MAN SCHACHT W NNA ENN V P d PALILINE BANDY WM IOHN VVIDBIN T wwf X Pg6 IX years ago, the first class to graduate from Blewett as a senior high school, received their diplomas. Two years later, this class of Ianuary, 1942, entered Blewett. The four years that have elapsed since then have taken an inevitable toll of our ranks. We entered a hundred sixty-five strong: we leave as a hundred five, but none-the-less strong. For what we have lost in numbers. we have gained in those less tangible assets of knowledge, confidence, the ability to work together, and certainly not the least, friends. This class spent seven of its eight terms at Blewett under the guidance of Miss L. R. Ernst, principal until Septem- ber, 1941. It is to her that we respect- fully dedicate this section. ?

Their importance cannot be over- estimated. They, fifteen hundred of them, make the bulk of the attendance at Blewett. It is they who are responsible for the reputation which Blewett enjoys. lt is their actions that determine how smoothly things run in the corridors and the lunchroom. Certainly it is their sup- port which has made the Senior Play and the senior sponsored dances a success. due credit being given to those who were responsible for their production. Here are the people we mean when we speak of Blewett-the undergraduates. Um CLASSES Page 19 A TERM SEVEN MISS BROWN Allen, Kent Anderson. Bill Brewster. Barbara llmridges. Coe Conaty, Tom DuRuz.

Guerin. a teacher at Blewett for twenty-live years. had been struck and instantly killed by a streetcar the night before. The following poem, by Mary Anne O'Neal, was published in the Brochure for Ianuary. 1940, in mem- ory of Floyd E. Bailey. s so fitting on this occasion. that we use it once more, in dedicating this page to the memory of Elizabeth A. Guerin.

Page 36 ADMINIS NN. Mr. Alfred Friedli, prior to his appointment at Blewett, was a social studies instructor at Central High School. He was one of a committee of eight to study the results of the Strayer survey which was made of the school system, and is highly re- garded for his work in social science. Pa TRATICN Students returning to Blewett this year found a completely new administration. Qur new principal, Mr. H. H. Mecker, is not a newcomer to Blewett, however, as he was here in that capacity lor six years when Blewett was a junior high school. D ge 37 FACULTY I. Andrews, Ir, - - - Mathematics Paul F.

Realizing that ones avocation is often equally as important as ones vocation, the students at Blewett have established over thirty different organizations in all fields of endeavor. Blewett is particularly proud of its fine music classes, in which over a third of the school's enrollment participates, and the Gym Club, the best of whose mem- bers have been capturing top honors in the city for several years. The activities which make up this section constitute an important part of this book as a portrayal of life at Blewett, and rare indeed is the student who cannot find himself at least once in the pages which follow. TIVITIES GYM CLUB The purpose of the Gym Club is to give interested boys a chance to develop their bodies, to contribute to the improve- ment and maintenance of mental health and organic vigor, to contribute to the complete health of the individual, and to the learning of suitable habits and skills for the intelligent use of leisure time. The Gym Club is the source of Blewett's line Gym Team. The members of the team are chosen as the result of competitive exercises judged by Mr. Seitz. Last year as in previous years, the team brought home most of the honors of the St. Louis High School Meet and the Y. M. C. A. Meet. Among those ranking in the first ten of the High School Meet were: Melvin McWilliams, David Biggs, George Hudson, Bill Ford, and Ioe Chrisman. Blewett took twelve out of the first sixteen places at the meet. The officers are: Melvin McWilliams, president: David Biggs, secre- tary-treasurer, and Mr. Seitz, sponsor.

The activities engaged in by the girls in the autumn are speedball and volleyball on Monday, and recreational games, which include tennis, badminton, ping- pong, and shulfleboard, on Wednesday. The G. A. A. enables the girls to develop good sportsman- ship through athletic competition. Points are given for attend- ance, Leaders Club, and winning tournament games. When a girl has a total of eleven hundred points, the G. A. A. presents her with a letter. Sarah Frazer is president, Launa McCord, vice president: Doris Strocker, secretary: Betty Swolford, treas- urer. The club is sponsored by Miss Haack and Miss Wood. Page 43 THE LEADERS CLUB The Leaders Club is a group of girls chosen by Miss Haack and Miss Wood to assist with the activities in the Physical Education Department and the G. A. A. The principal duties of this club are to help with the technique, practice, and ref- ereeing of games. These girls earn points toward a G. A. A. letter in this way, and have an opportunity to develop their leadership ability. Membership requires thorough knowledge of the games and qualities of leadership. First Row: Denis. limo, Iainvsun.

Anna Lee Glenn is presidentg Mary Louise LaHaise is secre- tary-treasurer, and Miss Coakley is sponsor. Page 45 GIRLS BOWLING CLUB The Girls Bowling Club, organized last term, gives girls in- terested in the sport a chance to improve their game through constant competition. While there is no inter-scholastic competition, the girls have organized teams within the club. They meet each Monday afternoon and bowl at nearby bowling alleys.

DRIVING CLASS It is the purpose of the driving class to teach the student driver the fundamentals of driving and of the automobile mech- anism, and to give him a clear understanding of good sports- manship behind the wheel, as Well. The students who pass this course of a half year are given a half credit toward graduation. In addition, the best drivers in the class are given certificates as evidence of their ability as drivers. The class is open to seventh and eighth term students only. and is under the direction of Mr. Lawhon. Page 49 THE BLEWETT BAND The Blewett Band, like the various choirs in the school, pro- vides an opportunity for students to receive instruction in music. A unique feature of the hand is that it offers the student an opportunity to receive instruction in instrumental music and allows him the use of the instrument without charge. Besides the rudiments of music, members are taught the fun- damentals of marching and regular military drill. The train- ing of student conductors has also added much to the interest in hand, for each aspiring director is given a chance to display his talent.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR The most accomplished of the special music organizations at Blewett is the A Cappella Choir, It has brought much praise to Blewett this semester, as it has in the past. The A Cappella Choir has been heard in the Musica Americana and also in sev- eral superb Christmas programs. The qualifications of the singers in the choir are a good voice, and a willingness to work hard for the honor given them. The choir will have only a few vacancies after graduation in Ianu- ary. It is sincerely hoped that these vacancies will be filled by deserving students. Mr. Perrine is the sponsor: George Grone is president: Ruth Empson, vice president: Perry Hall, secre- tary-treasurer. Page 51 VOICE CLASS The Voice Class has helped materially in making Blewett outstanding in choral music. This group recently participated in the Musica Missouriana, presented for the Missouri State Teachers Association. The Christmas program, which the class gave, might well be classi- fied as the highlight of the year. Mr. Perrine is the director of the group, and under his leader- ship students receive valuable voice training. There are but two requirements of the members: a good voice, and a willing- ness to learn.

VERSE CHOIR The Verse Choir, begun last year, is composed of some sixty students, several of whom have developed into excellent soloists. The choir's chief work is learning and rendering modern ver- sions of old rhymes and songs. Among the accomplishments of the Verse Choir, it is well to note, was its ability to assist the announcer by singing introductions to the various acts in the Musica Missouriana program, presented to the Missouri State Teachers Association Convention here in St. Louis.

Page 53 THE SCROLL AND GAVEL The Scroll and Gavel is one of the many extra-curricular activities of Blewett students. The aim of this organization is to interest students in public speaking and debating. The essence of debating is research, and therefore much time is spent by members in the school library. The ultimate end of all this labor is better competition in inter-scholastic debates. The club is sponsored by Miss Fitzsimmons. Norman Schachter is pres- idents Ann Reis, vice president, and Sarah Frazer, secretary. Front Row: Reis. Luedde, Frazer, Broomhall, Ruler.

The chief aim of this organization is to acquaint high school students with the wealth of good literature, novels, poems, and dramas, new and old, to be found in our libraries. Each term the members of the entertainment committee pre- pare a Literary Tea to which clubs of similar interests are in- vited. This semester The Keys of the Kingdom, A Thou- sand Shall Fallf' The Iunior Miss, A'My Sister and I, The White Cliffs of Dover, The Berlin Diary, and other reviews were given during the meetings.

Page 55 DRAMATIC GUILD The Dramatic Guild is divided into three groups, each doing its own individual work. One group, sponsored by Miss Maus, has seriously begun rehearsing the one-act comedy entitled Elmer, which it hopes to present in the near future. Miss H. Smiths division is striving toward another goal. It is concentrating on the perfection of pronunciation and enunci- ation. rather than on the production of a play. The third group, sponsored by Miss Thias, has selected two plays which it also hopes to present to the student body in the near future. The Dramatic Guild as a whole is working for definite re- sults which can be obtained by hard work and cooperative effort. l'lrst Row: Jlirkey, hmpson.

POETRY CLUB Having been organized only this year, the Poetry Club is new to the pages of the Brochure. Its purpose is to read, under- stand, and write modern poetry, and to study the works of the more recent poets, such as Sandburg, Nathan, and Masefield. Although specializing in this modern type of verse, the club has read the poetry of the Iapanese, the Negro, and the Indian, and has noted the differences in the styles of writing of these groups. Original poems by the members are encouraged, and are presented to the club for constructive criticism. Mrs. Bridges is the sponsor, Sarah Frazer is president: Pat Burch. vice president: Georgia Townsend, secretary-treasurer. Page 57 ART APPRECIATION CLUB The purpose of the Art Appreciation Club is to gain an under- standing of art in general. Since understanding art depends upon seeing and discussing works of art, the club goes each Wednesday to a different exhibition. The club has visited art exhibitions at the Artist Guild, Art Museum, and Y. M. H. A. Ioseph Schilling is president: Boyd Stone, vice president: Lor- raine Dixon, secretary, and Mr. Krause, sponsor.

Its activities include, not only the discussion of movies from the standpoint of the story, set- ting, characters, types of acting, and dialogue, but also the collecting of loose material pertaining to standards, reviewing, directors, and actors. Miss Bryant is the sponsor, Pendleton Goodall is president: Pat Burch, vice president: Ioy Kuchen- buch, secretary, and Ruth Stephens, treasurer. Page 59 SOCIAL SERVICE CLUB The social service work is an activity in which all students at Blewett participate, the work being directed by the Social Service Club. The student body makes contributions of money. yarn, and on special occasions, non-perishable food. The club assembles the contributions, knits the yarn, and distributes the other donations to needy persons and charity groups. Blewett has ranked high the last several years in contributions to the Iunior Needlework Guild. Efforts are now being made to incorporate the group into the Iunior Red Cross.

The Business Staff, headed by Mr. Forsman, is concerned with the financial affairs, the advertising, and the circulation of TI-IE GRIFFIN. These two departments work hand in hand for the success of the paper. Coe Bridges is editor-in-chief: Betty Reed, asso- ciate editor: Mattie Newman, news editor: Audrey Tohtz, feature editor: Vivien Luedde. assistant: lim O'Neal, sports editor: Ioseph Schilling, art editor: Donald Krummenacher, busi- ness manager: Melvin Lane, assistant: Ann Reis, circulation manager: Miss Emma Coultas and Mr. Forsman, sponsors. Page 61 GRIFFIN REPORTERS The purpose of THE GRIFFIN is to provide the students with a record of the various activities and events that take place at Blewett, so that in future years these events will not be for- gotten. It also furnishes experience for students who feel that they may have journalistic abilities. In this sense it has a prac- tical value, as well as being a chronicler of school events. The reporters are chosen from all terms. The only qualiti- cations that are necessary are alertness, dependability, and the ability to record facts simply and interestingly. To handle busi- ness transactions, each advisory elects one representative to promote THE GRIFFIN and collect subscriptions. This repre- sentative is responsible to the business manager, who handles the financial affairs of THE GRIFFIN. The sponsors are Miss Goultas and Mr. Forsman.

SUPER SELLERS CLUB The Super Sellers Club was organized to sell tickets for Blewett's Athletic events and for those of the Public High School League of St. Louis. Mr. Martyr organized the group last spring by placing the tickets for these events in the hands of one representative chosen from each advisory group. With the support of the students it is hoped that in the future Blewett will have suflicient funds from the sale of these tickets to sponsor any desired athletic activity. Hary Roither is presi- dent: Ralph Fischer, secretary. Page 63 WORLD HISTORY CLUB The purpose of the World History Club is to explore the history of the world further than is made possible by the use of text books. This is accomplished by doing library research work and by attending lectures at the Art Nluseum to obtain information on the economic, domestic, and religious life of the different peoples. The club meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. The World History Club is a new organization, with twenty-eight members.

The Spanish Club is a group of students in- terested in all things pertaining to our Spanish speaking neigh- bors: not only how they speak and how they sing, but also their manner of living. The activities also include learning to dance Spanish steps, and listening to Spanish music. The club has in its possession a record player on which are played records of Spanish music. Any student is welcome to join this organization. Meetings are held on Wednesday afternoons. Luis Romero is the presi- dent: Margaret Symons, secretary: Mary Miree. treasurer, and Miss Robinson, sponsor. I Page 65 LA BIENVENUE La Bienvenue, Blewett's French club, affords an opportunity for those greatly interested in French to meet once a week and discuss topics of general and specific interest. Some of the members have worked out special projects, such as the making and dressing of dolls, the study of period costumes, the draw- ing of maps, and the mounting of pictures. The club mem- bers also enjoy singing French songs. Paul Brading is the presi- dent: Margie Lou Smith, vice president: Betty Sue Behnke. secretary: Betty Zeller, treasurer. and Mrs. Rothman, sponsor.

MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB The Model Airplane Club is still in its infancy, since it was organized only this year. As soon as the club is in full swing the members plan to build many models at school. The boys go to the park on Sundays and fly their models. The purpose of the club is to encourage the designing and building of midget planes, ln the meetings members exchange ideas and discuss new developments, and in this way further their knowledge of model aviation. Next year the club plans to have contests with other schools. New members are cordially invited to join.

Page 67 SCIENCE and ENGINEERING CLUB Twice a month. on the first and third Tuesdays, the Science and Engineering Club meets in the chemistry laboratory. After the business meeting, the members work on projects. These projects may be connected with the science in which the member is interested: biology, physics, chemistry, or any other. From time to time the members report to the club on the progress they are making in their projects. The purpose of the club is to increase the knowledge and understanding of science and to create a more active interest in H.

Am rcws, SURVEYING CLUB To any Blewett student who is interested in mathematics and surveying, the Surveying Club offers the opportunity to become proficient in solving surveying, and engineering problems. Un Friday afternoons the Surveying Club members, under the leadership of Mr. Andrews, meet to learn some of the methods used by surveyors and then go to the campus and surround- ing neighborhood to put these things into practice. Not many high schools are as fortunate as Blewett is in having surveying equipment for the use of their students. One of the clubs first activities was a trip to the City Hall where the members learned exactly how this city was first laid out. Melvin McWilliams is president: Van Wente is secretary- treasurer, and Mr. Andrews, sponsor. Page 69 TENNIS TEAM The Blewett Tennis Team, under the coaching of Mr. Parker. wound up one of its best seasons in a tie for second place in the St. Louis High School League.

Page 73 U11 SENIOR PLAY On the afternoon and evening of December 16, the Class of Ianuary, 1942, presented Seven Sisters, a comedy in three acts. The action took place in the dining room of the home of Widow Gyurkowics in a small garrison town near Budapest, and centered about the difHculty of finding husbands for her super- abundance of daughters. The production played to near-capacity audiences at both performances. Comments from the audience afterwards, indicated that the production was par- ticularly impressive for the smoothness with which it was carried out. The cast consisted of Audrey VanCleave, as the widow: Dorothy lean Lyons, Frances Latham, Fern Evans, Bernice Bernacchi, Iune Keller, Betty lane Ault, and Lois Oliver as the seven sisters: Karl Royker, Boyd Stone, Bob I-light and Ted Simpson as suitorsp Ioe Chrisman as a hair-brained relative from the sticks who nearly spoiled things by popping up at the wrong time: LeeRoyce McClary, as a butler in the Gyurkowics household. The play was staged under the direction of Miss Myrtle Smith. Ioe Homan was stage manager.

A -- -- g3i 'i THE BLUE FORMAL IANETTE FLIGATE The sleek red and silver box is on the top shelf now and inside it the dress is folded lovingly in tissue paper. But sometimes I take the dress out of its crinkling tissue wrap- pings, and the long full skirt falls in funnel-like folds. The white ruf- fled slip makes delicious white caps on the misty blue. The faint odor of gardenias still lingers like a phantom memory, elusive yet strangely pene- trating, making me remember again. Last night there was a club dance, but I didn't go. It seemed strange to realize, as I sat in the swing, that I was sitting under the same winking stars. Across the yard I heard the lilting strains of Tales from the Vienna Woods and I again remem- bered a night when the stars were just as bright and the waltz as rhythmic. I had waited so long for that night, and then suddenly, panic stricken, I realized that it was a matter of hours. My hands were icy cold as I slipped the gossamer film of blue net over my head. The skirt fell in graceful folds and the white ruffles of the slip peepecl out under the skirt almost roguishly. I remember brushing my hair until it shined, and stood out around my head like a halo. It was the strangest sensation: I didn't feel like myself at all. Indeed. when I put the lovely dress on I seemed to be standing there watch- ing someone else. You see, the dress rather symbolized the whole affair. It was all so perfect. So you under- stand, of course, that I can't wear it again, can I? I walked down the stairs very slowly with what I hoped was dig- nity. Richard, my little brother, snickered impishly, but, as Mother says, you can't expect anything from ten year old boys. Daddy very pom- pously offered me his arm and whirled me around so that the skirt twirled about my ankles, showing my shin- ing silver slippers. Suddenly the door bell rang, and he was there. I noticed that there were tears in my mother's eyes when she kissed me. I wondered why. Could she-have known? It was a beautiful, ethereal night. The stars were Qlowing crystals in the soft expanse of blackest sky. A slender crescent rose just above the tree tops and the man in the moon beamed down upon us in a very jolly sort of manner. A soft breeze leis- urely bent the tree tops and caused the moon to play hide and seek among the leaves. The orchestra was marvelous and the floor smooth as polished glass. We really didn't dance, rather we seemed to float. It was all so perfect. Then we were on the terrace. I don't remember going there, but sud- denly and naturally we were stand- ing there looking across the lily pond. Over it the thumbnail crescent hung suspended in the velvet dust. The dancing figures made strange shadows like gnomes or fairies in the moonlight, and the softly rippling water caused the trees to take on eerie shapes in its deep pool. It was all so lovely-the sparkling crystal stars, the shimmering moonlight- and my blue dress. Then suddenly he bent down and kissed the top of my head-very Page 78 lightly. I stood frozen, not breath- ing, while little shivers went up and down my spine. It was then that I realized that the dancing shadows were swaying to Tales from the Vienna Woods. Again we were inside, just as sud- denly. Later I thought I dreamed it, but now I know that I didn't. When he took me home the tiny crystal stars seemed almost to cover the sky in a dazzling blanket, but he said that the stars were in my eyes. It was then that he asked me to the next club dance. The dance was given last night but I didn't go. He didn't call again and I waited so long. So I sat in the swing, listening to Tales from the Vienna Woods over the radio. The blue dress is packed in its red and silver box now, but sometimes I take it out of its crinkling tissue wrap- pings and the long full skirt falls in funnel-like folds and the white ruf- fled slip makes delicious little white caps on the misty blue. But now I know-I know that or- chestras will still play Tales from the Vienna Woods and that slen- der fingernail crescents will still beam down on swaying, dancing shadows. But now I know too, that sometime when I take the lovely dress from its box the faint odor of gardenias will be gone. A RULER OF MEN ALIBREY O'BRYAN The first yell that George Pearson let out rang with such authority that his nurse nearly dropped him. By the time he was three he ruled the household, every member of which Page trembled at his frown. In kinder- garten he showed his leadership by promptly capturing the leading role in all the games. Now the doting parents were sure that they were rearing a great genius, a future presi- dent, a, well, anyway, a ruler of men. Some of the less charitable members of the family, those who were too dull to see the budding of genius, did hint hastily that some day he might be a guest of the state. His school days passed as school days do, and his boy friends with a few treatments that boys know so well how to administer to their more rambunctious fellows Q those weren't homeopathic doses that they gave him eitherl had taught him to be a regular fellow. In high school he was popular: not so good at games and sports, but not bad. He was a well set up, husky fellow with the usual two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth, and his hands and face were clean most of the time. The girls not only tolerated him, they actually liked him. On graduation day he received a watch from his classmates bearing the inscription Class of '32, most likely to succeed, Central High. George went on through college in the pursuit of the ultimate per- fection in culture, knowledge, and citizenship. Today the fondest schemes of the Pearsons are realized. Thousands of men and women do his bidding, great machines start and stop at his com- mand. Banker, business men, shop keepers and clerks, young and old, heed his advice. Wrong doers avoid him, but little, old ladies and the blind, and all those in need of his help know him as their friend. George is the traffic cop on the corner of Almond Street and Hillmoon Ave- nue. 79 WM CRUCIFIED I IUNE KELLER Characters: Perriozi, an Italian soldier Ceasar, an Italian soldier Dr. Iantzen Pastor Sanderson Rabbi Block Orderly Doctor Four Italian soldiers Six English soldiers Time: World War No. Two. Place: No Man's Land some- where in Europe. Scene I Time: Late afternoon. Place: Italian trench, There are six soldiers in the trench sta- tioned at machine guns. In the background can be seen the battlefield. Perriozi and Ceasar are in the center of the stage. Perriozi: I just received a letter from home. Another purge against the Iews has been started. Remember Rufus, the son of the owner of the big grape arbors? He was found to be tainted with Iewish blood. Ceasar: Rufus! But what has hap- pened to him? And he a Iew? Im- possible! Why his father is one of the most respected and fervent Catholics in our parish. Iew-ha ha. You are joking-no? Perriozi: No. I make no such joke. He was adopted. His mother was a Iewess. And for what has hap- pened to him-why he was killed, of course, A good thing, too. There is no good in Iews. They should be wiped out, exterminated from this world. Then we would be a clean people. Ceasar: You are very gullible, my Perriozi. Why do you absorb and believe every word of our leaders? Can you not think for yourself? Or did you exchange your brain for that bayonet? Perriozi: Traitor! You must not jest and jeer our leaders so. Suppose I hadn't been your true friend and didn't understand you? I will not tell on you but you must be silent in the future. Ceasar: Silent? Why should I be quiet? I give my country my serv- ice as a soldier. I am loyal but surely Il Duce or Herr Hitler will not begrudge me my thoughts and convictions. Perriozi: Ah, my poor Ceasar. You are foolish. I blame it all on the two years study in that college in the United States. Such a waste of time. While I was preparing myself in the army and learning more about Fascism you were fill- ing that funny head with crazy facts about that damn democracy. Surely you can see that does not work. Look they have a dictator. The crippled Roosevelt. And such a nation! Why they allow the Iews equal standing with other citizens. But ah-that will be changed. Ceasar: There you are harping on the Iews again. There is naught wrong with them. Have they ever harmed you? Why have you this great and bitter hatred for them? Perriozi: I hate them because they are an evil and inferior race. Ceasar: What proof have you of this? Page 80 Perriozi: Proof? Why the proof of our great and superior leaders. They say so and so it is. They would not lie to me. Ceasar: fmurmuring lowj My poor Perriozi. Perriozi: What are you muttering about now? I think your nerves are on edge because we are going over the top soon. That is why we have all this foolish talk. Let us play some cards. Ceasar: Cards. fLaughsJ You are the calm one all right. I-Iave you no thoughts or wishes about what you will do over there? QI-Ie indi- cates the battlefieldj Perriozi: Wishes. My one wish is that if I die it will not be before I kill many of the English, and if I must die I pray that the last death that I cause will be that of a Iew. Will that not be a glorious way to end my humble life for my beautiful fatherland? Scene II Time: A few minutes later than Scene I. Place: The battlefield. To the extreme right of the stage are the English trenches. To the extreme left the I t a l i a n trenches. There are dead men scattered on the field. A doc- tor and stretcher bearers are carrying men to the right. There is a lull in the battle with only an occasional burst- ing of bombs and gunfire in the distance. At the right of the stage there is a minister, a rabbi, two doctors, and five soldiers being attended by them. Dr. Iantzen: Rabbi Block and Pastor Sanderson, you had better leave now and go to the rear of our lines. You are in a dangerous position. The battle will begin with a devil- ish fury soon. Thenl Pastor Sanderson: My place is here just as much as yours, Doctor. Dr. Iantzen: But I am needed here, and while your intentions are good your services will be just as help- ful behind the lines. Rabbi Block: I disagree heartily. While you and your staff help the men physically, we, the servants of different faiths, give spiritual care to those past the need of medical aid. You yourself know how the Catholics die easier and with less pain when a priest is near. Pastor Sanderson: Yes, and thus it is for the soldiers of other faiths. Dr. Iantzen: But, Rabbi, you most of all are in danger. You, not only a Iew but a teacher of the Hebrew faith. Remember we are not in Britain and if you should fall into enemy hands-oh not so much Italian, but, well, do not forget they are allies of the dirty Huns. fPastor Sanderson has left the two to walk over to a soldier that has been carried off the battlefield. I-Ie is bent over the boy reading to him from a Bible. The battle is beginning again. There is hand to hand fight- ing and heavy gunfire is heard., Rabbi Block: I shall not leave. I am not afraid. Iews must fight the tyrants more than anyone else and I am fighting them in my own hum- ble Way. fThe orderly then comes rushing off the battlefield. He approaches the Rabbi and the doctor.J Orderly: Dr. Iantzen, there is a bad shrapnel wound that has just been brought in. And there is one Italian dying out there. flndicates battle- field.J He is calling for a priest. He is past all hope and though he Page 81 be one of the enemy he pleads so hard for a priest . . . well . . . fsighsl one just can't hate those poor fellows. Where is Father Riley? Rabbi Block: He is busy at the hos- pital base. He was wounded in the leg but he is helping back there. But enough of this talk, get me a cross and I'1l ...... Orderly: A cross, but you are Iewish. Rabbi Block: I said get me a cross. fOrderly goes to the Pastor and gets a cross then returns to Rabbi Block.l Orderly: Here it is, Sir, but you can't risk your life going. All hell's broken loose and this man isn't of your faith. Besides he is the enemy. fRabbi ignores him and walks on battlefield. Bombs are bursting. There are many men lying on the ground. He crawls along until he comes to the soldier. He bends over him.l Rabbi Block: Here I am, my son. Take it easy. Here is our crucifix. Gaze at it and remember how our Lord Iesus Christ died gloriously. He was not afraid to enter heaven, and you should not fear death either. What is your name? Perriozi: It is Perriozi, Father. God bless you for bringing the beloved cross to me now. It seems the pain has left me just seeing it . . . and oohhl the gasps and lies still.l Rabbi Block: The poor lad. Well at least he died happy. tHe straightens up and holding the cross in his hands starts to leave. A burst of gunfire is heard and Rabbi Block slowly crumples over Perriozi's body holding the cross high in his hands.l The End WINTER NIGHT NANCY NICHOLAS Here in the forest no sound is heard. Only silent blackness. Like the dark side of the moon it is. Inky, piercing cold The trees stand bare against the sky, Myriads of bold, black, b o n y fingers- Frozen in eternal grasping. Fingers of the condemned, perhaps, Brittle fingers Reaching in vain to the distant twin- kling tribunal of stars, So far removed from this place. Enveloping, Suffocating, Yet infinite- The sun can never shine here, it seems, Here, where the slightest breath of golden life would shatter this forest skeleton. But behold! A light! Where light is, there is life! So, Frigid Hell for spirit creatures. I leave you for the cheerful warmth of my cabin. RELEASE IULIA RICHMOND Suddenly, the ear splitting shriek of a siren blasted the calmness of the night. People could be seen in seconds rushing in all directions- then only deserted streets. Section by section, the lights went out all Page 82 over the city. London was in for an- other air raid. The room was dark except for the light cast in eerie streaks by the flames in the grate. The far away drone of airplane motors grew nearer and nearer. Now and then, explo- sions shook the air. Three people were in the room: an old man, a young boy, and a young woman in her early thirties. The old man had seen the last war from the front lines. He had left his right arm somewhere in Germany. In this war he was seeing front line fighting again, for the civilian as well as the soldier suffered. As the ex- plosions grew nearer and louder, the expression on his face remained un- changed. If a bomb hit his house. all right. He wouldn't have to see London as she was bound to be after the war was all over. Victorious or not, she would be hungry, cold, sick, broken, and poverty-stricken. If he lived to the end, all right too. He would do his bit to make her rich again, feed her, mend her, and make her whole again. It mattered to him not at all . With every resounding boom the look of hatred on the face of the young boy deepened until his eyes burned with it How he hated those Germans! If he only had a chance, he would show them a thing or two. He'd give them a taste of their own medicine. He was only seventeen and not yet qualified to fly, but he was learning. In four months he would be able to go with his brother to Berlin and drop a few himself. He wanted to live, if only to fly just once. The woman walked to the window, pulled back the shade, and stood looking out into the night. The sky was lit by the light of a hundred fires. As she stood there, her face reddened by the glow, she thought back over the past year. It seemed like a century: yes, she had lived a century in just those few months. Her mother, father, and husband-all had been killed in the last raid. She was alone now. Was it any wonder that she wanted so desperately to die? i i 'K The young pilot had only one bomb left. He pulled down the lever, released the bomb, and turned his plane back toward Germany. He left behind him his share of fires, twisted steel, and piled bricks. Among his many victims were a woman who wanted to die, a young boy who wanted to live, and an old man who had ceased to care. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU LAVERNE I-IEIL I really didn't want to knit a sweater. I was moved by no great desire to create a masterpiece, nor to become famous in any such field. I only wanted to carry a knitting bag for my weighty books, and it wasn't until I could no longer endure the sarcastic remarks cast in my direction that I began saving pennies to buy the necessary articles. Necessary articles-now that doesn't sound com- plicated, confusing, complex or intri- cate, does it? Anyhow, I didn't think so when I went downtown to get them. My stars, how was I to know that I had to have almost enough stuff to start a pawn shop just to knit one sweater? I'd like some white wool and a pair of needles, I nonchalantly said to the saleswoman. Yes, ma'am. What kind of wool? Shetland, Germantown, Iceland, or Page 83 Zephyr, and what size needles will you want? Well I was flabbergasted. I'd thought there was only one kind of wool with different grades: and gosh! how was I know what size needles? I do not want to bore you with any more of the grueling details of my purchasing, but after an hour's time I bought two pairs of needles, some huge safety pins II still don't know what they are forl, a round hoop thing for the neck, an armful of wool IShetlandl, and three books on How to Knit a Sweater. Having hurdled that obstacle, I was certain the rest would be quite simple, especially since I had enlisted the aid of one of my friends who is an accomplished knitter. I don't see how any one person with even a be- low-average mentality could get into as much trouble as I did. In the first place, I could never remember the difference between purling and knitting, and every time I was sup- posed to knit I invariably purled so that when the results began to show I had something that looked very much like a Chinese cross-word puzzle instead of the smooth even ridges that are supposed to be the ribbing. But then who wants a sweater knitted so perfectly that no one can tell it is hand-knitted? At least, that's what I thought, and therefore I proceeded to ignore all mistakes and kept on knitting. Any- way, I was at the climax of my in- terest for knitting, and I purled and knitted constantly for weeks until l came to the point where I began to believe that I was really good: well, at least good enough to do two or three things at the same time. One fine afternoon I propped a book in front of me, turned on the radio, and took my knitting in hand. At the end of an hour the radio was blasting away to a knitter who had finished one-half of a row of sweater. and to a reader who was deeply en- grossed in the exciting incidents of Du Maurier's Rebecca. Let this miserable experience serve as an ex- ample to you, my dear reader, who may be learning how to knit. It is impossible to listen, knit and read at the same time and to knit well or much. My next stumbling stone was the wool. A beginner at knitting I had bought only eight ounces of wool, and to my horror I discovered that there was only enough to get halfway down the front. A simple matter, I thought: I just bought some more white wool. Did you ever think of there being different shades of white? Well, there are. While that bothered me a little, it did not stop me and I went right on knitting until I came to the neck. That was my real Waterloo. Dropped stitches, broken wool, and two different shades I could put up with, but the neck and the silly needles I was to use on it were beyond my intellectual powers. I gave up in despair and mother knitted the neck for me and the result was simply distressing. To make a long story short and a sad story shorter let me tell you that after the sweater was finally completed not even the Red Cross would take it. LIFE WITH SISTER SHIRLEY BRENNER Ah yes, sister is growing up. But definitely. Bobby pins on the floors, on the window sills, everywhere. They begin to haunt me. When I patiently ask her if she is planning to equip all the women in the United States with bobby pins, she glares at me and says petulantly: Well, how do you expect me to put up my hair? Page 84 'lr'- No doubt you've heard of the process of putting up one's hair. First, you twist your hair this way and that, sticking in bobby pins everywhere you possibly can, and then you end up looking like some- thing from some strange planet, with your hair plastered close to your head, and metal weapons pointing in every direction. Then, there's the cold cream. That's the stuff Sis smears all over her face to make her more glamorous. Every time I see her with that stuff on her face I jump. Of course, there are many other mysterious gadgets and things she uses to make herself still more glamorous, such as that inky mascara, that scarlet rouge, and that tantalizing eau de cologne, but I won't go into detail. Now for some other maneuvers that show Sis's growing up: for in- stance, one night I came home and decided to spend a comfortable eve- ning in the living room. Instead of being received with sisterly affection. I blundered into the living room only to be met with frosty stares and a Curt command, Get out. Well, that was a pretty clear hint that I wasn't wanted, and so I left with hurt pride and in scorn. My sister and her two closest girl friends were tell- ing secrets. Yes, my sister is boy crazy too. One week it is Bob this, Bob that. The next week it is Dick this, Dick that. Oh, I could go on for hours telling you about the most wonder- ful boys in the world. Yes, I could also tell you about the lights I have had with my precious sister when l wanted to use the phone. She stays on for hours. The conversations run something like this: Guess who. No. guess again. How did you know it was me? fGiggle, giggle.l Oh, you silly boy. Friday night? Oh, I'm busy. fLike heck she is. That is her hard-to-get line.l Saturday? Lovely. Oh, I bet you tell that to all the girls. QGiggle, giggle.l Etc., etc. I'm telling you it's positively nau- seating. Then there was that gor- geous formal she simply had to have to go out with Ken, her latest. Yes, I have to stand all of this. I am going crazy, slowly but surely. Oh! Oh! I forgot the sorority meet- ings, those meetings in which a group of girls get together and tear other girls apart. Why, I know enough to blackmail every girl in my sister's crowd! Do I suffer! My illusions of shy, sweet, demure girls are destroyed. A bachelor's life for me. Girls! Bah! All I can say, I wish Sis would hurry and finish growing up. IN SEASON GAY IANE I-IAYSLIP When Spring comes with her gentle ram And trees are lacy-leafed again, While joy-Hlled hours slip slowly by The world has hopes and so have I. When Summer comes again to bring Her feathered choristers that sing Their matins to the eastern sky, Thi world sings with them and so o I. When fields of Summer turn to rust And leaves rain down at every gust, When hazy wood smoke dulls the sky The world dreams dreams and so do I. When Helds are whitened later on And days of Autumn all are gone, When red sun warms the cold gray sky, The world is glad and so am I.
