PECTAT© IB THE BEGINNING OF OVERLAND TRAVEL IN PENNSYLVANIA I Roads and Taverns Mary Elizabeth Wertz From its earliest known history, Pennsylvania presented natural difficulties to the traveler. With little sea coast, few navigable rivers, no lakes of consequence, and much of the surface mountainous, overland routes were the only ones practical. When the white man came, he found trails, centuries old, running east and west, north and south, through what is now our state. So far as finding the best routes was concerned, the Indian had a genius for engineering, and today the Lincoln Highway, the William Penn, the Susquehanna Trail, and the Pennsylvania Rail- road system, follow these trails except where grades are too steep or there was commercial reason for change. I he Nemacolin and Catawba trails which Braddock used in cutting his military road from the Potomac to the Ohio in 1755, became the main course of the National Pike as well as the general course of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The Forbes Road became the State Road, and later develop- ed into the Lincoln Highway. In the colonial period the Forbes Road, or the Pennsylvania Road, was the great military highway into the West. Its course was through C hambersburg, Bedford, Stoystown, Ligonier, and Murraysville to Pittsburgh. For a whole gen- eration this route was the most important thoroughfare to the western territory, and was the largest link between New England and the Ohio alley in the days when New England was sending the bravest of her men to build up the West. Bethlehem Pike, once the Minsi trail, is one of the prettiest and most historic motor ways in Pennsylvania, leading from Philadelphia to Bethlehem and from there over the New York boundary. Another historic highway, The Susquehanna Trail, crosses the state from north to south, and is part of the famous Indian trails between Canada and the South. While these present roads are different from Indian trails, the main difference between them is that the modern highways are wide and improved, and that in places they leave the Indian trail for lower ground, as horse drawn vehicles and motor cars cannot climb places that man on foot and the pack-horse could use. The Indian trails, originally from twelve to eighteen inches in width, necessi- tated travel in single file, and they often became so overgrown with underbrush that they were difficult to find. When the white men began to go westward in large numbers,'there was a demand for the carrying of heavier loads over the paths, and the pack-horse era was begun. Soon the increased weight so bruised and crushed the bushes that the paths became wider. This gradual broadening of the old trails may be classed as the first step in road-making although it was not the result of any special effort or intention on the part‘of man. By 1750 two main routes had been established, the one running through southwestern Pennsylvania, and the other m through central Pennsylvania. Each of the routes mentioned was broad enough to permit two pack-horses to pass each other without serious damage to their loans, fly 1 83, these routes had become so widened that freight trattic by means of wagons was firmly established; wagons pushed further and further west until they came down the western slope ot the Alleghenies. However, practically nothing was done toward what can really be called road building until alter the Revolutionary War, tor it was not until wheeled vehicles came into general use that the widened trail became a road. THE GENERAL WASHINGTON TAVERN KNOWN LAVEK AS Mil,I.KlfS TAVERN. LANCASTER. PENNSYLVANIA By the year 1790, wheeled vehicles were common, and another step in road improvement became necessary. Cars and wagons could use the roads only in good weather, as the mud at other seasons made them impassable, particularly in stretches through lower grounds. To improve this condition, about 1800, cordu- roying came into use. Corduroying is the process of laying logs close together to form a solid roadbed and then covering the surface with earth. The corduroy roads, however, soon proved unsatisfactory. The rains washed away the earth, and wagons and carriages were jolted to pieces over the rough surface of the ex- posed logs. Macadamizing was the next step in road building. The roads, built of layers of broken stone, were wider than any single track of any of the routes followed before, although thirty feet was the maximum breadth. The first and most interesting macadamized road in our state—in fact in the country—was the old Lancaster Turnpike, running from Philadelphia to Lan- caster, and completed in 1794. This road had a regular slope from side-ditch [10] • From Earle: Singe Poach and Tavern Days. Used l r permission of the Macmillan Co. THE XPEGTATGD to center, and the stone was carefully broken into pieces small enough to pass through a two-inch ring. The first real improvement in road-building naturally began at the centers of population. Philadelphia was a center from which many roads radiated. These were among the first to be improved. Improvement throughout the state, how- ever, was slow. Lack of knowledge of road building and no effectively organized system for carrying out improvements, hindered progress. Then too the building of canals and railroads turned transportation from pack-horse and wagon to these THE HAT TAVERN AND SIGN BOARD LANCASTER COINTY. PHILADELPHIA HOAI • improved means of travel. Highways lost their importance. As late as 1900 conditions of travel by vehicle over highways, except near large centers of popula- tion. were far from satisfactory. With the coming of the motor car, however, a rapid change took place. T he establishing of the Department of Highways and the generous provision of public funds for road building, have resulted in the con- struction of eight thousand four hundred thirty-nine miles of splendid highways that give easy and swift communication between all parts of the state. The opening of roads through Pennsylvania was naturally followed by the opening of taverns for the accommodation of travelers. By the middle of the eighteenth century the taverns were of importance, not only to the traveler but as centers of life and news of the community in which they were situated. They kept horses and supplied passengers with accommodations. It is interesting to learn that there was a distinction between the taverns and wagon houses. The taverns were for the accommodation of travelers arriving by carriages or coach; I ] • From Earle: Stage Coach ami Tavern Days. Fseil liy permission of the Macmillan Co. THE PECTAT®P consequently, a tavern keeper usually refused to give lodgings and meals to a wagoner who was expected to content himself with the humbler wagon houses. T he names of some of the inns were characteristic of the times, a number of them having been named after Revolutionary heroes. Near the twentieth mile- stone of the Lancaster Turnpike was the famous General fVarren tavern, which was a house of entertainment for Revolutionary leaders. Here the Tories met to make their plans, and Major Andre also visited the inn to make a map of the surrounding country for spying purposes. Five miles beyond the Warren were three old inns, the Sheaf of ff heat, the Ship Tavern, and the Exton, which arc still standing. These are only a few of the taverns and inns that became famous. I hat the highways were lined with them, so to speak, is shown by the fact that along the Lancaster Pike there were sixtv-one taverns inside the sixty-six miles from Philadelphia to Lancaster. If some of these old inns which still remain could relate the history of their past, they might reveal interesting chapters in the lives of the generations who helped to establish not only our state, but our nation. II Early Means of Travel Charlotte Cramer Before the colonization of North America by the Europeans the Indian’s only means of traveling overland was on foot. However, after the introduction of the horse into America, the Indian contrived a vehicle known as the Indian travail—a device consisting of two poles and cross-bar that dragged on the ground behind the Indian pony. When he undertook a journey, the man put his squaw, papoose, and household goods on the travail, while he walked beside it. The first carts of the white man were nearly as crude as this Indian travail. These carts with immensely high and solid wheels made by taking a thin cross sec- tion of a great log, could go safely wherever oxen could draw them. The hubs of the carts were usually three feet from the ground; this raised the body of the cart clear of any ordinary stream at a ford. The carts were also narrow enough to pass along the paths of the pack-horses. By the end of the seventeenth century, the settlers saw the need for wheeled vehicles in the cities and near the sea-coast. To meet this need, three distinct types of wheeled vehicles appeared. The first was a two-wheeled private coach made for town use only. As springs were unknown at the time, the brightly painted body of wood or leather swung on stout braces of wood. A dozen or more of these two- horse carriages existed in Philadelphia before 1700. Another type of vehicle, known as the chair, appeared at the same time. Then, by simply adding a covered top of leather to this carriage-for-two, the chaise was made. [12] THE JPECTATOD However, in 1750, a new type of vehicle, the Conestoga wagon, appeared in Pennsylvania. It was a truly American product and a perfect vehicle of transporta- tion. The wagon was huge and heavily built; the bed was constructed concave in shape to prevent the contents from falling out when the wagon was going up or down hill. The body was arched over with six or eight bows, of which the middle ones were the lowest. Then each bow was covered with a strong hempen cover, corded down strongly at the sides and ends. The rear end of the wagon, on which the feed- trough for the horses was hung, could be lifted from its sockets; and on one side of the body was a small tool-chest that contained a hammer, hatchet, wrench, and pincers. A tar-bucket and water pail were suspended under the rear axle-tree. More- over, as in the case of the early carriages, the manufacturers showed delight in using bright colors, for the underbody of the Conestoga wagon was usually painted blue while the upper woodwork was a bright red. The use of these wagons was extensive. At one time three hundred ran between Philadelphia and other Pennsylvania towns. Sometimes there would be a hundred in a close row. The Conestoga was a symbol of progress, and for many years served as an im- portant vehicle in overland travel. It was one of the agencies by which men con- quered the continent. April the tenth of this year marked the one hundredth anni- versary of the journey of the first covered wagon from St. Ixuiis over the Oregon Trail into the northwest. From that time. 1830, until 1869 the Conestoga continued to be in the van of progress, years ahead of the stage-coach, steam-boat, canal, and railroad. The men who had charge of these wagons were a distinct class of society. In the affairs of life they occupied a position similar to that held on the rivers by the flatboat men. In the early morning, after hurried breakfasts, the drivers assembled their caravans and set off for the day’s journey. They usually stopped for an hour or two, in the middle of the day, at some well-known road tavern where they fed their horses, ate lunch, and met and argued with such friends as had reached that point traveling in the opposite direction. Many of the countrymen and settlers of the near-by districts also assembled at the taverns at such times, and the occasion of the arrival of several wagons at the inn caused much excitement. With the beginning of the nineteenth century there was introduced into Phila- delphia and Pittsburgh a form of the European bicycle. It had no effect upon the problem of transportation, and impresses us as being somewhat of a toy. The wheel merely sustained the weight of the rider’s body. Consequently, strange as it seems to us, the driver had to push the gfound with his feet if he were to travel at any rate exceeding a walking speed. The most important vehicle of the new century was the stage-coach, a closed four-wheeled carriage with a body shaped like a football and built of wood combined with sole leather. Of such vehicles, the Concord coach, which first appeared in [Ul HE JPECTATGD 1827, was the most important. In fact, it has been pronounced the only perfect passenger vehicle for traveling that has ever been produced, although it had a peculiar lurching motion that made a long journey very wearisome, especially when the roads were bad. In his travels through the States of Xorth America. Weld gives a vivid de- scription of the way in which the passengers and driver of the stage-coach met the difficulties that accompanied the journey. He writes: “The driver frequently had to call to the passengers in the stage to lean out of the coach, first on one side, then on the other, to prevent it from oversetting in the deep ruts with which the roads abound. Now, gentlemen, t the right! 1 hereupon the passengers stretched their bodies half way out of the coach to balance on that side. ‘Now, gentlemen, to the left!’ and thus the journey progressed.” THE STAGE COACH OF 1 28 It is interesting to note the cost of early transportation. In 1812 the expense of traveling between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, a trip of two hundred and ninety- seven miles, was twenty dollars by stage-coach with way expenses of seven dollars. The expense by' v agon was five dollars a hundred weight for persons and property, and the way expenses were twelve dollars. The wagon required twenty days to make the trip while by stage-coach it took hut six days. But the greatest improvement in means of transportation was yet to be made, the Main Line of Public Works. This water-rail route from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh consisted of a double-track railroad from Philadelphia to Columbia; a canal from Columbia to Hollidaysburg; the double-track Allegheny Portage Railroad from Hollidaysburg to Johnstown, and the canal from Johnstown to Pittsburgh. As early as 1828, the building of the line from Philadelphia to Columbia was authorized and by October of 18.14 the road was opened to traffic. Horse-drawn cars that closely resembled the earlier stage-coaches but which ran on rails served as the forerunners of the present-day passenger roach. The year that marked the completion of the Philadelphia-Columbia line also marked the completion of the Portage Railroad from Hollidaysburg to Johnstown.

THE PECTAT© D The work was a daring piece of engineering, five inclined planes being employed for the purpose of crossing the mountains. At the top of each plane two engines of thirty-five horse power each were installed, and the cars were pulled up by heavy ropes, one end of which was fastened to them and the other to a drum in the power house at the top of the incline. The steam engines wrapped the rope around the drums and thus pulled the railroad cars to the top. Then, in a similar way, the stationary engines let the cars down the incline to the nc t level. From Johnstown to Pittsburgh the western division of the Pennsylvania canal completed the Public Works. ONF. HOSS SHAY—ABOl’T 1730 • Compared with modern standards this water-rail route was slow and expensive, but it was a tremendous improvement over the stage-coach and Conestoga wagon. Passengers from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh could make the trip in three and one-half days. Freight required only six days. Then, too, in the course of a few years, the locomotives took the place of horses, and cars were made larger and more comfort- able. The existence of the route, however, was short. Transfer of passengers and freight from train to canal, from canal to Portage, and then to canal was cumbersome and expensive. In 1857. the Public Works passed into tha control of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad which eventually abandoned the Portage and canals. Thus we sec that the pack-horse gave way to the Conestoga wagon and the stage-coach; the wagon and stage-coach in turn were superseded by the railroad. In this age of motor vehicles and air craft we can only speculate what changes the fu- ture may bring in methods of travel. “We are mere spectators of a drama of devel- opment which has no visible end and whose actors make up the plot as they go along.” [IS] From Earle: Stage Coach unil Tavern I nvs. Vaed by permission of the Macmillan Co.

[89] CALENDAR OF THE CLASS OF 1930 September 4, 1928 September 24. 1928 March 14, 1929 April 23 to May 7, May 29, 1929 September 3, 1929 September 16, 1929 October 15, 1929 December 13, 1929 January 20, 1930 February 12, 1930 February 14, 1930 Class of 1930 entered the Johnstown Senior High School with 291 members. Class meeting was held in the audion for the purpose of organization. Curtis Henning was chosen as pres- ident, Mary Elizabeth Wertz as vice-president, Joanne Hell as secretary, and John Kidd as treasurer. Miss Hoge and Miss Hughes were made sponsors. A St. Patrick's Day party was held in the gymnasium. A tour of Ireland was the theme for the entertainment. The Blarney Stone, the Wishing Seat, the Giants’ Cause- way, the Soap Bubbles, and the Green Hat are treasured memories of this party. 1929 Rings were displayed. By vote of the class, a ring from the Balfour Company was selected. Semester closed. School opened. The class re-enrolled as term XI’s. The term XI's held a meeting in the audion for reorgan- ization. The election of officers resulted in the follow- ing: president—Curtis Henning; vice-president—Mil- dred Thomas; secretary—Joanne Bell; treasurer—Paul Mowry. The first order of rings and pins arrived. The class, as a whole, seemed very well satisfied, and proudly displayed the jewelry. The Senior-Senior dance was held in the gym with the 1929Xl class as guests. The Green Hat was used in the decorating scheme. New term began. The class was then term XII. Spectator Staff was announced. The Editor-in-chief was Mary Elizabeth Wertz with Charlotte Cramer as Asso- ciate Editor and Robert Smith as Business Manager. Term XII Class meeting was held in the auditorium to elect class photographer. Mr. Turgcon won by a large majority. [90] THE XPECTATGD 4ptP February 26, 193(1 Class began to get their pictures taken. Cuts were start- ed for the Spectator. May 2, 1930 The Senior-Senior Dance was held. May 21, 22, 1930 Senior Play. May 25, 1930 Baccalaureate Service was held at the First Christian Church with Reverend O. E. Tomes as the speaker. May 26, 1930 Te ni XII’s put on a very successful class day program. After this they held a Senior picnic in the afternoon. May 27. 1930 Senior Dance. May 29. 1930 Commencement. Charlotte Kishbaugh Edna Schneider RUMMAGE SALE OF 1930 We, the class of 1930, who are about to leave this school, decided to offer at a rummage sale certain things which we had accumulated. To the class of 30l j , who remain to enjoy the privileges of Seniors, we offered the first chance on these articles. The first possession which we gave to the school as a mark of our generosity and appreciation was the living memory of the class of 1930, and their unblemished record in high scholastic standing and perfect attendance. Soon after the sale opened the anxious mob of Term Xl’s was upon us and we endeavored to indicate just where the various curiosities went. First we noticed that George Jones’s horse laugh, though much worn and used, was being bought by Joe Kantner. At the same table we saw Charles Wolfe plead- ing for Stan Baer’s boyish innocence. A little farther down the aisle we found Katherine Will nonchalantly buying Marie Leffler’s beauty. Byron Epplet and Louis lames were vigorously arguing over Janies Custers bashfulness which they both wish- ed to acquire. Ah. it was fun to see that Steve Terebus stepped in and purchased it while the two were squabbling. Just then we heard a noise in the lower part of the room and we turned to see Clifford Evans who wanted to procure the Junior from Harry Cupp’s name, shouldering everyone aside in his haste. Josephine Bowman handed over her “gift of gab” to Dorothy Wagner, and Gus Gleason his colossal bluff to Walt Danker. Though it was quite expensive, Charles Hoover bought from Franklin Reiter the editorship of the Blue and Black. [91] TIME PECTAT© Near by, Curt Henning sold his presidential dignity to Joe Sackmar. At the same time we heard Jimmie Williams ask the price of the famous height. Jennie Mickle hoped to make use of Bee Rosage’s singing voice. And Emory Hill purchased Bill Dixon’s habit of singing to himself the “Mammy” songs. Lil Rosenbloom and Ethel Vargo are now the proud possessors of Peg Ray’s of Marie Repp. Mary Farabaugh's musical giggle is now in the hands (or rather the throat) and Helen Schrader’s aptitude for dancing at noon. After a great deal of exciting vying for the prize, Merle Gore’s “Beau Brummel” air, was wrapped up for Bruce Betts. So deep was George Zimmerman’s disappoint- ment over not getting the “Beau Brummel” that Dick Kahl offered to sell him his collegiate air. Mary Louise Owings needed some ready cash, so she decided to sell the power of using her expressive eyes. Edna Koontz bought this social asset. Anna Mae Rock parted with her flirtatious air to let Frances Wertz try her luck with it. Off in one of the quieter corners “Little” Mary Wertz gave her ability as a Virgil student to Johanna Krauss in exchange for a substantial check. When the crowd of shoppers had thinned somewhat we saw Mary Cavanaugh transferring her Irish smile to Kathleen McGrath. By this time all those who had come to buy had left, and the most valued possessions of the class of 1930 had been taken away by their new owners. As we gathered the few remaining articles together it was with the hope that the treasures of the class with which we had part- ed would bring happiness and joy to their new possessors.

SOMETHING COLOSSAL Herman Ober During my last year in junior high school a fellow student asked me the mean- ing of the word colossal. 1 immediately told him. “It is something big, something huge and great.” He went away apparently satisfied, but I was a bit puzzled as to whether 1 had a correct conception of the meaning of the word. It was not until about a year later that an incident occurred which definitely settled the doubt in my mind, and gave an example clearly illustrating my idea of the term. The time was night; the place was the steel mills. 1 had been sent to get a bucket of mineral spring water for a gang of laborers with whom I was working at the open hearth. No man is able to work in the heat and gas-laden air of the open hearth and drink the ordinary hydrant water without becoming nauseated or suffering from stomach cramp, but it is a generous and most remarkable coincidence that nature has provided nearby mineral spring water safe to drink, even in large quantities. It was to this mineral spring which issues from the hill at the foot of “Number Five” blast furnace that 1 had been sent. 1 was one of a gang engaged in removing the fire bricks from a checker chamber. This chamber is a small room that contains a honeycombed network of fire bricks through which the gases pass before they are burned to melt the metal in the open hearth furnace. In the intense heat the bricks become fused; and, when they no longer are fit for use. they must be replaced. I had just been relieved from a stiff three minute ' spell in this chamber where though my feet were doubly protected by shoes with thick wooden soles and my face was covered with a wet handkerchief—working in the heat from a huge mass of fused fire bricks, red hot in some places, and in air charged with gases, there is no possibility of an all day job. Glad for the opportunity to be free from the suffocat- ing heat, I walked from the open hearth building and made my way around piles of steel, across railroad tracks, and past the “shanties in the yard that separated the open hearth and the blast furnace. As 1 walked, I drank in the invigorating freshness of the cool night air; I even forgot the drudgery of my job as I left the open hearth far to the rear, and the vast bulk of the blast furnace and its surrounding buildings loomed before me. As I approached the furnace, 1 could see the huge “blowing” engines through the open doors of the engine room which was located next to the furnace and which I had to pass in order to reach my destination. As their enormous flywheels turned round and round, they wove, in perfect mechanical harmony, upon the walls of the engine room, a huge garment of light and shadows. In fancy I wondered what Titan might receive the cloth from that gigantic loom beside which a man was a mere pigmy. Beyond the engine room with its toiling monsters I entered the [103] THE PECTAT©� forbidding, but by no means quiet, labyrinth of rooms and passages at the foot of the furnace. After making several inquiries and carefully dodging ore lorries that whizzed back, and forth, I finally arrived at the pipe that led from the spring and placed my bucket under the constantly flowing water. While I waited for the bucket to fill, I took note of my surroundings. In front of me was a narrow “alley” leading to the hill and to the spring from which the water was piped. To left and right of me were lanes of narrow gauge tracks on which the lorries carried ore from the storage bins to the “bucket” that in turn was used to convey the ore into the furnace. Not being especially interested with these details, I turned suddenly and beheld one of the most awe-inspiring sights that any artificial panorama can ever produce. A slag tap had just been made and the golden stream of slag iron was pouring from a hole in the side of the furnace. It was rushing along the troughs from the tap hole to the car ladle, bathing every- thing within range in a red glow of mysterious light, and hissing its defiance to everyone who dared to approach it. The tap hole was above my head; and as I glanced upward, I could see the huge body of the steel-clad inferno, girt with a huge pipe through which a man could easily walk. So huge in diameter was the furnace at its base that I could see only a small portion of its curved side, bathed in the glow of weird light from the flowing metal. As my gaze continued upward, I could see the towering mass thrusting its head and shoulders up toward the sky, where, beyond the light from the glowing metal, they were swallowed up in the black void of night. As I turned my attention again to the pouring operation, I watched the men toiling near that terrible river. Now they would bend one way, now another in all kinds of twisted outlines, as if, exposed to the torture of the full power of the overwhelming heat, they were writhing helplessly in its deadly radiance. So intense was the light that the only shadow they seemed to make was the obstruct- ion of their bodies to the eye as it gazed at some distant object. I ntil this time the mighty furnace, perched like the squat figure of Buddha, had given forth no sound. But now, as though it were changing its position in deep sleep, it began to rumble and roar within its bowels, and—perhaps it was my imagination—the very ground seemed to shake. Someone near me shouted a warn- ing cry, “Get under cover.” Without question I ducked into a nearby doorway. As I did so, I looked upward and saw the cause for the warning. High above in the black of the night the four bleeders (outlet valves), located at the top of the furnace, were belching forth huge star-like jets of flame, and—invisible to me in the intervening darkness—a shower of coke, ore, and limestone that rattled upon the furnace buildings with sharp pelting sound of enormous hail. This was the first time I had been near a furnace when “she fell in” as the storm is called. Since this form of eruption never lasts very long, in a few seconds it was safe for mo to leave my shelter. [104] THE PEGTATGQ Slightly shaken by the suddenness of the incident, I ventured forth and cast a nervous glance toward my bucket. 1 was surprised to find it full and overflowing. Fearful lest 1 had already spent too much time, 1 picked up the bucket and started back to the open hearth. As I walked in the darkness, the ghostly figures, toiling about the furnace, grew indistinct in the distance, and when the flaming stacks of the open hearth came into view, I congratulated myself that I had been so for- tunate as to see “something big, something huge and great,” something which I could really term colossal.

B irk hart It is the poet who makes the style, not the style that makes the poet; for an author’s words may take on new meaning when he applies them to a new subject. This is true in regard to Carl Sandburg. Some of his poems are apparently shapeless at first glance, but as we read them we understand the meaning and ap- preciate the music. This is well illustrated by lines from Prayers of Steel. “Lay me on the anvil, O God, Heat me and hammer me into a crowbar. Let me pry loose old walls, Let me lift and loosen old foundations.” The wish of the crowbar becomes a definite picture when the form in which it is expressed is the outline of its hopes, promises, and ambitions. However, there is in all of Sandburg’s poems one rule of form, and that is brevity. Almost uniformly the poems are short, consisting often of only four, five, or six lines. Fish Crier. Fog. Lost, and Monotone are characteristic of this quality. Long before the time of Sandburg, Poe rationalized a need of his own when he said that a long poem was a contradiction, and writers hold to that idea today; for to prolong a romance is one of the surest means of producing anti-climax. Poets must know where to begin and when to stop. Evidently Sandburg has learned this lesson and his brevity is in many poems the source of their strength. Another element of strength in Sandburg’s poems is ruggedness. Of this qua- lity Isaac Goldberg, literary critic and writer, says: “Sandburg is rugged, daringly simple, without the impediments of theory.” There is no doubt of this ruggedness, it is earnest ruggedness more appealing in its evident sincerity than the correctly finished work of many other writers. Compare, for example, these lines: “I know a Jew fish crier, down on Maxwell Street with a voice like the north wind blowing over corn stubble in January.” with several lines from Poe’s Ulalume: “Here once, through an alley Titanic, Of Cypress, I roamed with my Soul .... Of Cypress, with Psyche, my Soul.” Ulalume. beautiful in rhythm and rhyme, polished in form, still lacks the con- vincing quality of a Sandburg creation. It achieves the end for which it was de- signed, but it does not provoke thought nor provide inspiration. [106] THE PEGTATOB Not only ruggedness, but an elemental quality is revealed in Sandburg’s works. All the feelings which make up life,—love, hate, happiness, sorrow, exaltation, de- pression, doubt, trust, and mystery—are found in his lines. Lost contains longing which, although applied to an inanimate object, nevertheless might well be the cry of a human being. As the boat on the lake “Calls and cries unendingly, Like some lost child In tears and trouble Hunting the harbor’s breast And the harbor’s eyes.” A person seeks the goal toward which he is striving and there rests in peace. Happiness by its title suggests that it too is a part of life and a very vital part. “I asked professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness.... And one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines river And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and children and a keg of beer and an accordion. With few exceptions Sandburg’s writings may be classified as “daringly simple.’ It is largely this quality that has provoked criticism. Homely phrases, stern and hard, yet born of association with realities, take on full interest. Selecting examples at random we find “dust of hoof,” “faded ramshackle,” “blue night,” “white stars, “lovely as a poplar,” and “cool tombs. Such phrases have been used many times before, but Sandburg so employs them that they acquire a new significance. Old associations are exchanged and new ones are found because of the original usages of many common words. Another element of Sandburg’s work, is the fearless use of the language of the street. It is a true symbol of common expression, for to Sandburg a shoe is a shoe whether it be an oxford or an opera pump. Fellow Citizens is an excellent ex- ample of this use: “I drank musty ale at the Illinois Athletic Club with the millionaire manufacturer of Green River butter one night............... And the way he lighted a three-for-a-nickle stogie and cocked it at an angle regardless of the best manners of our best people........... Down in Gilpin Place, near Hull House was a man with his jaw wrapped for a bad toothache............. THE PECTAT© He is a maker of accordions and guitars and not only makes them from start to finish but plays them after he makes them........ Anyway he is the only Chicago citizen 1 was jealous of that day. He played a dance they play in some parts of Italy when the harvest of grapes is over and the wine presses are ready for work.” Sandburg has justly been called ‘‘the right son of Walt Whitman.” His poetry is not restrained by rules, for it pierces through to the feelings which over- power rules. It is the poetry of democracy as far removed as possible from petty traditions of a king and his court. Back Yard is a republican romance in a series of pictures. “Shine on, O moon of summer, Shine to the the leaves of grass, catalpa and oak, All silver under your rain tonight. “An Italian boy is singing songs...... A Polish boy is out with his best girl— An old man next door is dreaming........ The clock says I must go— ” Who but a Sandburg would dare to write about “musty ale,” “three-for-a- nickel stogies,” “a man with his jaw wrapped for a bad toothache”? Who would have such subjects as Fish Crier, Back Yard, and dean Curtainsf Surely there must be some reason for such titles. No one but the author can ever know why he chooses certain subjects and disregards others, yet the attempt to understand the working of a writer’s mind is always being made. Heredity, environment, and education have influence in deciding the matter, but more often the likes and dis- likes of the individual play the most important part. In this, Sandburg has made happy selections; for he chooses subjects about which he is well informed, with which he is personally acquainted. He is not a romantic writer, he is a realist. However, the extreme realism of his thought lends a touch of romance to all his writings. His poems can be read over and over without losing their freshness of thought or the charm of their appeal. It has been said that Sandburg’s work is “poetry in a sweaty shirt and sleeves rolled up, lumbering in gait and ungainly in gesture.” So it is. but it is the poetry of the people, written for them and symbolic of them. [108] THE CRYSTAL FLASK Ei� na Schneider For some time my hobby has been Egyptian antiques and it was in quest of something new that t visited a shop on the lower East Side. Although I had been in .New York for several months, a friend had just told me of this place and had declared I would find it of unusual interest. Late the other afternoon I made the trip from my hotel and after dismissing my cab, 1 entered the building. Judging from the heterogeneous collection of articles displayed in the window the place re- sembled a pawn shop more than anything else. As I opened the door, a small bell clanged over my head and a most remarkable man shuffled forth to meet me. He was so small and wizen that he gave the impression of having dried up rather than aged; yet his hlack eyes Hashing with unexpected light in his yellow wrinkled face, gave him an appearance even more parchment-like as we receded into the gloom of the shop. He asked me what 1 wanted and 1 told him I was interested in Egyptian pottery. He silently turned and, with a gesture which bade me follow, started for another part of the queer place. After threading our way through a maze of curious objects, among which 1 felt certain 1 would knock something over at every turn, we arrived at a small alcove devoted to Egyptian curios. The man invited me to be seated on a richly carved chair. It was then 1 remarked his exceptional voice. It was extremely mellow, like some very old violin played by an artist, and seemed to carry the sorrows of years in its tones. He had a peculiar accent although he appeared to know English rather well. With the deference of a forgotten period he began to show me a number of really lovely pieces of pottery, pieces that would have been a credit to any uptown shop. I had taken two vases, which 1 was considering, to a somewhat better light to examine them more closely when I noticed, almost hidden behind a tall sar- cophagus, a small glass covered case. I inquired what it might contain for I had caught sight of several small objects in it. The man moved toward the case almost with reluctance. I thought this rather odd, for among the people of his class the desire to sell is preeminent. He showed me the articles, which the case contained, one by one, till only one remained. Then with an almost reverent touch he lifted, from its case of velvet, a small crystal flask. This tiny, strangely wrought flask attracted me instantly and 1 determined to own it. I told him I would take it. For a moment he did not seem to hear me, but appeared lost in thought. I was about to repeat my request when he turned the flask over carefully and said, “There is a story connected with this flask. Would you care to hear it?” I told him I would be delighted to hear anything of interest about it, for his- tory concerning any of my treasures enhances their value to me. [109] TiiK XPEGTAT© ID Then in his stiff, stilted English he told me this story. “Many years ago, along the hanks of the Nile this flask was found. Originally, it and another like it stood on the altar of an old temple. These flasks contained, respectively, the elixirs of immortality and of death. Once when the sweetheart of one of the attendants at the temple was seriously ill, he stole the flasks from the temple. Ilut he reached her home too late. She was already dead. In despair over her death, the young man wished to take his own life. He returned the one flask to the temple and drank the contents of the other, the flask of death. He expected to die immediately but when nothing happened, he discovered that he had drunk the liquid of immortality. He was panic-stricken. He dared not return to the temple as the theft had been discovered and the remaining flask was guarded. Fear- ing the disgrace which followed detection of his crime, and desperate over the death of his sweetheart, he left his native village. For years, endless years, he wandered far over the world.” The old man paused; then added impressively, “May be he is still wandering, unable to die.” As he ceased speaking. 1 had the most eerie feeling that it was his own life story he had revealed. I thanked him for his story; and clutching my purchase, hastily made my way out of the shop. As I plunged into the noise and bustle of a thoroughly modern street I wondered whether I had been dreaming or had had a glimpse of an Egyptian almost as ancient as the time to which my precious crystal flask belonged.

And then all gathered, wished Them back ? [no] IMPRESSIONS OF MOUNT VERNON I OREXA LecKEY Early in the afternoon of a beautiful day in July my sister and I boarded an electric car in Washington, I). C., for the sixteen mile journey to Mt. Vernon. Leaving the District of Columbia, the car hurried through the Virginia country side, past Alexandria, rich in stories relating to the life of George Washington, and with its boundary adjacent to the Mt. Vernon estate. I here was a general stir as people began to collect cameras, parasols, and the ever present guide book—sure sign of the tourist. A guide, who, with the aid of a small megaphone, had been explaining various places of interest along the way, launched into a short description of the famous estate. He also attempted to sell Mt. Vernon folders, but the buying was not brisk. Who wanted paper folders with the reality so near! No one paid particular attention to the station with its restaurant, its soft drinks and souvenir stands. Even the near-by bill boards advertising Virginia sugar- cured ham and chicken dinners did not. at the moment, arrest any one’s attention. Each one was anxious to get in line, and pass through a tunnel gate to the grounds. Once inside the gate, the very atmosphere seemed different. This was not imagination. There was the usual freshness of wide spaces, the songs of summer birds, the pleasing coolness of the river breezes. Hut, in addition, there was the hush that comes with reverence, the sense that this, above all places, was hallowed ground. We had reached America’s most noted shrine. Approaching from the North Lodge (late, our party came to the attractive gardens filled with the fragrance of homely, old-fashioned flowers and encircled with boxwood hedges of intricate pattern—hedges a century and a half old. Near the flowering beds we saw the hot-houses where travelers can buy wee, potted plants, slips of the famous geranium which Washington named for his mother, and of the ivy and shrubs growing in the gardens—welcome tokens for the friends back home. We had the first view of the mansion from the west, across a grassy court with a sun dial in the center—a dial which greets the visitor with the cheery words, “I record none but the sunny hours.” To the right is the kitchen, a separate building, but connected with the house by colonnades. In this kitchen one can get a vivid idea of the picturesque but rather inconvenient methods of cooking used in the eighteenth century. Once inside the house proper, the crowd was loath to move from room to room. Perhaps it was just as well that the ever present guide kept us moving, for time was easily forgotten in looking at the antique furniture and mementoes. These we could see only from the doorway of each room, for barriers protect the treasures from the curious fingers and tramping feet of the tourist. Vet time prohibited our seeing even half of the interesting collections. There were Washington s swords, I� 1] - the key to Bastille, presented to the President by Lafayette; the harpsichord, given by General Washington to Nellie Curtis as a wedding present, and even Wash- ington’s spectacles. Upstairs were the bed rooms: Lafayette's room, so called because he occupied it when a guest at Mount Vernon; the Green room; Washington’s own bed chamber—all with, canopied beds, such comfortable looking beds, providing one could manage to climb into them. On the second Hoor too were many intimate reminders of the Washingtons—a suit of clothes, silk stockings, Mrs. Washington's bathing gown and toilet articles. After we came down stairs we stepped out on the great veranda that runs the full length of the east front. From this veranda with its roof supported by eight columns reaching two stories in height we had a wonderful view. The spreading old trees, the velvety lawn sloping down to meet the deer park, and the quiet blue of the Potomac beyond, were especially appealing to the group of travelers. One could not help feeling that Washington must have owed a part of his great- ness to the fact that he was privileged to live among such surroundings. That veranda was an inviting resting place, but the afternoon was flying and other places of interest demanded our time. Going to the south of the house, we struck a sloping hillside path along which is the old coach house containing the coach in which Washington rode. Rather rickety it seemed, though still splendid in appearance. Advancing down the same path, for a distance of about two hun- dred yards, we reached the burial place of the Washingtons adjacent to a pic- turesque ravine. Two marble shafts rise in front of the tomb, one on each side of the entrance. The tomb itself is plain and unpretentious, its brick walls closely covered with ivy. Nearby stood a colored guard, keeping careful watch for sou- venir hunting persons who might feel tempted to break pieces of ivy. The tomb was truly a place for reverent silence. In the vault, behind hugh iron barred doors are two marble sarcophagi, the burial places of George and Martha Washington. 1 he shrill whistle of the river boat recalled us and reluctantly we joined the crowd in the rush for the nearby wharf. Pressed against the gates by the rest- less surge of the late arrivals, we watched the steamer slowly make her way to the landing place marking her approach by the ringing of her bell at certain inter- vals. This custom was first started in 1814 by a commodore of the British navy who was on his way to Alexandria. Although his countrymen were at war with the United States, he did this as a tribute of respect of the memory of General Washington, and passing steamers still observe the custom. As the little steamer left the wharf and passed up the quiet waters of the Potomac river toward Washington, we stayed close to the rail, loath to lose sight of that beloved white home on its tree shaded hilltop. horget the thrill of having visited it? No American ever can. [112] THE PECTAT© WAR POEMS Earl Rishei. When, in early 1914, world unity and co-operation were apparently stable, the greatest war in the history of mankind hurst forth. The United States adopted a policy of neutrality and assumed the role of a spectator, sympathizing with the down- trodden Belgians, deploring the brutality of the Germans, hut contributing to the war only financially. Our connections with the warring countries of Europe were weak and were dissolved at the outbreak of hostilities. Therefore, with this back- ground, it was but natural that the first American poems of the period were poems of peace, rising from the moral rather than the emotional feelings of their composers. Neither in literary nor in thought composition are these poems noteworthy. In England, however, war was not a subject to be discussed upon its merits, but one which demanded and received action. It was a grim, demanding reality that thrust itself into the lives of the people. The first English poems were rhythmic creations impelling men to defend their ideals as well as their homes and families. They recalled the virtues of English military conquest, and aroused anew the cour- age and patriotism of a mighty race. The response of the younger generation was instantaneous. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that the first war poems in Eng- land were created by the mature writers. As a result the book. Songs and Sonnets for England in War Times, contains no verses of the youthful poets who were destined to paint the horrors of the conflict at the sacrifice of their life-blood. In this collection are poems by the mature writers among whom are Thomas Hardy, G. K. Chesterton, and Sir Henry New- bolt. The best contributions in the volume re Laurence Binvon's To Women and Rudyard Kipling’s For All We Have and A.r. In the latter, a strain of nation- alism and self denial flows smoothly. “For all we have and arc. For all our children’s fate. Stand up and meet the war. The Hun is at the gate! There is but one task for all— For each one life to give. Who stands if freedom fall? Who dies if England live? It was not because of lack of genius or of material that no other great war poems appeared in these early years of the war, but a period of adjustment was neccs- [113] sary during which the writers might acquaint themselves with the magnitude of the struggle. The English, being among the earliest to enter their interests in the madly evolving events of the day, were the first to understand its gigantic propor- tions. Accordingly, the anguish and suffering of war first crept into their verse. Examples of this suffering were in Rupert Brooke's production, 1914 and Other Poems, and in August. 1914. by John Masefield. Mr. Masefield created a back- ground of thought in his opening line— How still this quiet cornfield is tonight!” The emphasis upon the serenity of the scene by the use of “still” and quiet” is doubled by the profound silence of imaginative corn stalks towering toward a dark- ened sky. Night, itself, is suggestive of the desired effect The greater part of this poem reflects the home-atmosphere of the Englishmen as contrasted with the “soaking trenches”. Rupert Brooke’s sonnets are lyrical and result from personal emotion. Al- though irony toward fate may be traced in some of his verse, he is for the most part idealistic. In the first part of The Death—II. Brooke gives life to fallen heroes and restores to them the breath of life. With four words, “All this is ended”, he changes the scene and cold death again claims its victims. Wilfred Wilson .Gibson, who first wrote on the practical reality of the war, was interested in the welfare and emotions of the common soldier. He drew his characters from the ranks of peace and re-created them as soldiers, not by choice but by honor. Mr. Gibson’s poems are brief and graphic in style, but by use of exact, vivid language, he conveys a message to the reader. In The Bayonet appears: “This bloody steel Has killed a man, I heard him squeal As on I ran.” Not only is the deed mentioned in word, but also is suggested by “bloody steel”. The use of “squeal” emphasizes the ghastly realization of the act, and the last line concludes the image, while the reader is still influenced by the imagination of the author. A young English soldier, Siegfried Sassoon, writes in a similar manner, except that he devotes greater effort to the emphasis of the wanton destructiveness of war. The following poem, The Kiss, creates its own atmosphere if one but reads it willing to accept its mood as his. The poem in full— [114] “To these I turn, in these I trust; Brother Lead and Sister Steel. To his blind power I make appeal; I guard her beauty clean from rust. He spins and burns and loves the air, And splits a skull to win my praise; But up the nobly marching days She glitters naked, cold and fair. Sweet Sister, grant your soldier this: That in good fury he may feel The body where he sets his heel Quail from your downward kiss.” The first worthy American poem written by an American who had active service abroad is Alan Seeger’s, I Have a Rendezvous H ith Death, now famous. 1 he poem is valued particularly because it is a personal, intimate account of the author’s reaction toward war and death. In the last lines of the third stanza, a feeling of reluctance to leave life enters, but is subordinated by the honor of his pledge: But I’ve a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Springs trips North again this year. And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.” The sequence of American poetry in accordance with entering the war was par- allel to that of England. First came the attempts to stimulate the courage of the men. These poems were mostly journalistic, but one of them. Drmc the Stiord, O Republic, by Edgar Lee Masters, is much more. Although it is not lyrical—for this gift is not included in the genius of Mr. Masters—beauty of thought, careful selec- tion of diction, analogies and the use of suggestive terms and phrases elevate this poem above the ordinary type of war verse. The following quotation expresses Mr. Masters philosophical ideal for the future. “And all men shall be one spirit, as they are one flesh, Through Wisdom, Liberty, and Democracy.” Another stirring American poem of the war is Amy Lowell's Cornucopia of Red and Green Comfits. It is a story of the children of Bar-le-Duc in France, who were induced by the natural love of sweets to eat poisoned candy scattered on the [..5] THE PECTAT©K? ground by German aviators. Amy Lowell shows her indignation toward such bru- tality by striking contrasts, specific diction, irony and sarcasm. The two latter are shown by the last lines of the poem which relate to the persons who made the poisoned candy: “In blue peaked Germany The cooks wear iron crosses, And the scullery maids trip to church In the new ribbons sent from Potsdam.” Perhaps most Americans cherish Joyce Kilmer's Rouge Bouquet more than any other composition of its type. It was written to commemorate the death of some American soldiers buried under ten meters of earth when a shell struck near their dugout called Rouge Bouquet. It was a commendation of our troops, not only hon- oring their fighting ability, but also their spiritual character. The close leaves a lasting impression upon the reader. “And up to Heaven’s doorway floats, From the woods called Rouge Bouquet A delicate cloud of bugle notes. That softly say: ‘Farewell! Farewell! Comrades true, born anew, peace to you! Your souls shall be where heroes are And your memory shine like the morning star. Brave and dear, Shield us here. Farewell!’ ” These war poets endeavored to create for us the scenes, the characters, the ideals which were so vividly stamped upon their lives. Beneath the literary style of the compositions flows a strain of thought which was the product of self-sacrifice. It is for this reason that grim reality can be painted in the drab colors of actual fact and assume almost fantastic and brilliant hues. But the authors have depicted war as they have witnessed it, stripped of glory and charged with formidable grimness and horror. They have, indeed, given us the essence of war poetry, the poetry of reality. [116] THE TPECTAT® ID FIELDS Pal l Weaver Who likes to sec a field of grain lie low, With golden wheat heads leaning on the ground, Where nothing beautiful could yet abound, When sleet, and wind, and rain have spent their woe? I like to see a field with life aglow, The golden grain stalks waving all around, This sight of beauty would our eyes confound, For God from Heav’n, this richness doth bestow. Who likes to see a field of dead men lie. Their bloody fragments strewn on every hand A cold, cruel monument of heartless war? I like to see a field of peacq near by. Where nothing harsh may ruin our fair land. And love, kind love, alone is conqueror. BARRY Marion Haupt When it first became known to the Barclay girls that they were all aunts by reason of the birth of a son to their only brother and his wife, they were genuinely delighted and hastened to offer the mite of humanity their love along with expensive gifts. However, five weeks later when both father and mother died within a short time of each other during an influenza epidemic, the aunts fell heir to Barry, as the child had been named. They held serious consultation as to which of the four— they were all successful business women—should stay home and assume the respon- sibility of caring for the newcomer. It was finally decided that Mary who had always had a fondness for house- keeping should be the most important of the baby’s many guardians. During his early years, Barry lacked nothing. Every night there was some new surprise when either Aunt Bess or Aunt Gwen brought home a new and ex- pensive toy, or Aunt Ruth, the candy lover, showed him her dresser drawer where there was invariably a box of sweets. To the bewildering array of playthings pro- vided for his amusement, Barry seemed indifferent, and at the age of eight there was only one toy that he continued to play with. This was a cheap little erector set with which he sat by the hour devising new structures. Aunt Mary was quite surprised one afternoon when he showed her a crude-looking object he had con- structed. It looked somewhat like a bird, having a long body, wings and tail. Barry was proud of his newly made plaything and was hurt by the attitude of his other aunts who, when he explained that his “bird” was supposed to fly, shouted with laughter, and for several weeks made him the object of much teasing. Barry was naturally shy, he was never allowed to associate with the children of his neighborhood, consequently when he started to school he was even afraid to recite his lessons. At home if he expressed an opinion some one was sure to laugh at him, so he learned that if he said nothing he would escape criticism. Under the sting of constant ridicule he came to regard himself as abused because he was not getting what he deserved. It is said that when a child reaches this stage, he may school himself to struggle and accomplish something, or he may avoid difficulties, and as his energies find no outlet, he will become a bundle of nerves. Barry followed the latter course. Possibly he might have been an inventor but he avoided expression of ideas and thus lost them. As a result, he went through the grade school with no particular interest. His reports were usually poor because he had never overcome the embarrassment he felt when he was reciting. His aunts had despaired of his entering high school, but as they never mentioned his quitting he plodded on. During his first years in high school he rarely spoke to girls [118] THE_ -fPECTATOP without his heart beating outrageously and his face flushing with embarrassment, and gradually he withdrew from boys and girls, becoming so reserved that his classmates regarded hint as “stuck up. Harry had never forgotten the trivial toy of his childhood, his “flier’; the real reason for his veneer of reserve was that during his many hours of loneliness he had been experimenting with it and devising new forms. Having no friends, it was natural that he should not tell anyone about his ideas and that he should keep his models carefully hidden. At this time, war had broken out in Europe and he read eagerly newspaper stories and magazine articles showing the importance of aviation to all the nations at war. When Barry graduated from high school practically at the bottom of his class, he entered a technical school to study for what his aunts wished him to be, a mining engineer. His one friend of this period was Wesley Bryan, who, Barry soon found, understood and sympathized with him. To Wesley he confided his secret hopes and his plans for entering a school of aviation. His heart was not in his studies at the technical school; and when he was dropped from his class on account of low marks his aunts were grieved, and washed their hands of him. He was now free to do as he wished and he lost no time in making application for entry into a preparatory school for aviation. Then came that never-to-be-forgotten day in April, 1917, when the L nited States entered the Great War. Barry's pulses beat faster when he thought of what aircraft would mean to the fighting. With great enthusiasm he plunged into the work of learning to operate a plane. He was overjoyed when his college pal. Wesley, came to the school to study with him. Together they passed all tests with good grades and went on to the flying field. They never forgot the thrills they experienced in their first flight, the solo fight, and trick flying. Barry acknowledged that his heart was in his mouth the greater part of the time. Finally the two cadets were graduated and embarked for overseas. Here they came to realize what was expected of them. They were inseparable. They flew together, ate together, slept together. Never a thought of jealousy or rivalry entered their minds. Always they rejoiced over each other’s success. All Barry’s shyness of former years was gone and he was able to talk fluently about aviation, for now none of his schemes were ridiculed. Moreover, he was doing the work for which he was fitted and which he loved. And too, he was fighting for his country. When the Armistice was signed, Barry and Wesley had seven of the enemy s Fokker planes and two sausage balloons to their credit. 1 ogether with a million other men they were delirious with joy at the thought of returning to their home- land. After months of waiting the men of the unit to which Barry and Wesley (119] belonged reached New York. From here they were sent to one of the military camps where they were mustered out of service. Harry returned to his home town where every one treated him as a hero. During the enthusiasm of a reception in his honor the attitude of his aunts gave him much quiet amusement, for he heard each one tell that it was she who had encouraged him to attend the school of avia- tion. Even later when he was one of the foremost aviators on the air mail route they still accepted graciously the credit for having directed him in his chosen life work. IN SUMMER TIME Mary Elizabeth Wertz In summer time I always long To hear the bees about me throng. For then as 1 walk through the dell, 1 feel that all around is well. 1 know these things to God belong. 1 he birds delight me with their song. 1 love ta loiter down among The flowers and feel their pleasant spell In summer time. One time when I was wand’ring along. I do not know, I may be wrong— It seemed to me I heard a bell Down in the valley joyfully tell 1 hat this was a place where peace did dwell In summer time. [120] THE PECTAT© S RECOGNITION OF BEAUTY Lincoln Sawder No doubt we all profess a recognition of beauty, but upon what evidence do we base this recognition? A group of people may visit a particular spot and not consider it beautiful, yet let an artist, a musician, and a poet see the same place and each convey his impressions of it to this group by his particular medium, and mark the difference. Each man, may appeal to some of the group. Let us take, for in- stance, a pastoral scene. How does each man express its beauty? The artist goes to work in his studio, and with his knowledge of form and color, he reproduces the scene upon his canvas iit such a manner as did Gari Mel- cher in his picture, The Shepherdess.” A flock of sheep graze peacefully in a green meadow that is dotted with white and yellow daisies, golden buttercups, blue violets, and pale pink primroses. Beneath an invitingly shady tree lies the pictures- que old shepherd, his faded straw hat tilted over his tanned face, his flaming red shirt the only note of brightness in the monotony of the dusty brown of his trousers and shoes. A spotted collie lies curled comfortably close by. In the distance are gentle hills, the symmetry of which is broken only by an occasional beautifully shaped tree. A farm yard in the distance adds fantastic shapes and kaleidoscopic colors to the scene. “That,” remarks one of the group, “is real beauty.” Next we are attracted to the musician’s interpretation. After careful coor- dination of tones and notes, he is ready to present his impressions of the same scene. His work is a pastoral symphony, much like the immortal Beethoven’s famed composition of that exact title. He opens with a dainty and skipping, yet tranquil melody, perhaps played by the flutes, that suggests the gentle movements of the flock, the trill of a wood bird, and the soft murmur of the breezes. Then he offers a lively, graceful, swinging melody that pictures the dog chasing sheep back to the flock. By a smooth transitional passage, the motive is changed to a slumber tune in which the violins suggest the drowsing shepherd or the quiet farmyard. Sudden- ly a dark cloud appears; immediately the theme becomes harsh and boisterous with storm sounds. The frightened flock running for shelter, the swishing rain, flashing lightning, and booming thunder, are expressed by the tympani, trumpets, and horns. Then, as suddenly as it came, the storm passes and a calm succeeds. A simple lullaby bv the flutes, representing the shepherd’s reed, conveys the feeling that a pastoral day has come to a peaceful end; and, with a hint at the general theme, the impression is completed. “Now,” murmurs another, “we have witnessed beauty. It is now the poet’s turn to interpret the scene. After a careful assimilation of his mental impressions, he gives us his reproduction in a vivid word picture. Per- haps he expresses himself as did William Percy in The Little Shepherd's Sony. “The leaves, the little birds, and I, The fleecy clouds and the sweet, sweet sky, The pages singing as they ride Down there, down there where the river is wide— Heigh-ho, what a day! What a lovely day!” When the poet has ended his skillful poetic appreciation, a third voice says, “That, my friends, was beauty.” Each person of the group suggested responded to a different interpretation of the same scene even though he had not called it beautiful upon seeing it for himself. 1 here was beauty in the picture when another expressed it in a way that appealed to him. What, then, is beauty? Beauty is an impression received that finds response in the soul of him who is impressed. No matter what the object is or how the im- pression is conveyed, its beauty becomes evident if it finds response and sympathy in the soul. The effect of beauty then depends upon a representation of the thing as it is most familiar to us and as we respond to it emotionally. Truly, with Keats we believe “Beauty is truth and truth is beauty.” HAPPINESS Josephine Bowman She loved To make friends with Great people of the past And with contemporaries through A book.

The Johnstown “Second String- ers” achieved the victory with Quinn, Monaghan, and Henning starring. Johnstown—34 Westmont—28 Westmont Gymnasium—February 14 Johnstown avenged their defeat by Westmont and came through to win an extra period game on Westmont’s door to the score of 34-28. The game was hotly contested. Jaques, Henning, and Napolitan displayed the “fight” for the locals. Johnstown—31 Windber—30 J. H. S.
