HANDS Morning. A body sends a hollow thump resounding through the room as it hits the wooden floor. A closet door is thrown open and a light blinks on. A pair of rather limp hands is thrust in, only to be withdrawn, as if to think. They find the closet again and begin fervidly to deposit clothes in a heap on the floor. Dirty, battered saddle shoes make their descent. A rumpled sweatshirt and skirt soon follow. The feet deposit the hands and body on the other side of this rubbish heap, and with a well-ordered mechanical action they slowly cover the area from a wooden floor to a tile floor. Water is turned on. The motion of the hands is accom- panied by a splashing sound. The water is turned off. The hands dr)’ themselves. The feet cover the same well worn path they had just trod and deposit the IxkIv beside the pile of clothes. The motion of the hands increases to a frantic pace. The clothes seem to fly up in the air and settle on the frame. The fingers rapidly pull, button, snap, tie, and comb. Time to go, the hands reach for a door handle and tug. The door slams. The sound of running feet fades in the distance. . . . Margaret Brandt TAKE ONE GIANT STEP. From September until June we were Juniors, fifty-six of us. Because of our varied origins our ideas were different, but we took this step, our junior year at Kingswood together. Our first exciting project came when, no longer watching from the audience, we built Home on the stage. Then work began in earnest. Together we tongue-twistingly re- cited Chaucer's “Canterbury Tales.” For the first time our tired fingers, directed by our exhausted minds, wrote fifty- six critical papers. When they were finished we breathed fifty-six sighs of decided relief, and realized that it was not too difficult to put an opinion into words. Towards Christmas time all fifty-six pairs of lips were hard at work repeating “Tomorrow and tomorrow and to- morrow.” and wishing with all our hearts that it were. When tomorrow had come and gone, our reunion was a jabber of questions: “How was the New Year's Eve dance? Was Austria just marvelous? Did you like your first Christ- mas in America? Then we were suddenly ushered into one solid week of exams. Together we realized that exam week isn’t so bad. but that we should have spent review week in constant, un- ceasing preparation. All fifty-six of us survived, and with fifty-six weak smiles we departed for a weekend “away from the grind. Second semester brought more noisy planning in Wed- nesday class meetings. At first our thoughts seemed to be only a confused blur of dances, an operetta, and plans for the junior play; then fifty-six frantic minds turned to source papers. Fifty-six typewriters clacked out 1500 words (not counting Ibids) until spring vacation arrived with its release from irregular verbs and quadratic equations. In April, work l egan in earnest on the play and again we were in the spotlight melo-dramatizing our way through “East Lynne.” Suddenly, commencement day arrived and, as we watch- ed the Seniors walk solemnly away from us, we realized that we would be next on that threshold. We knew that this year had been a giant step in our being and becoming someone. . . . Betty Rose
