18 CANAL CURRENTS A FAIR It was a beautiful day in September, and the annual fair was in full swing. As one entered the gates the glare of many colors, the riotous noise of many vendors, and the noise of many people hurrying to and fro met him. From the racetrack came the steady rise and decrease of sound as some driver tried out his car for the afternoon races. Soon other drivers followed him out and the crowd, not wanting to miss the thrills of automobile racing, moved toward the fence to watch the races. The same hustle and bustle continued all afternoon. A pleasure-seeking crowd was trying to watch the automobile races, the actors on the stage by the grandstand, the balloon ascention and everything else all at once. Finally the sun began to slip very close to the horizon; a huge golden ball, hanging as if suspended from some fleecy golden cloud. It was a mute warning that soon the sun gods would again depart leaving the earth in darkness. Crowds hur- ried to gather into groups to watch the evening performance. Soon all was over, and people, tired but happy, wended their way homeward. Children tumbled into beds to dream of cheery music and bright colored things, while tired parents hoped that never again would they have to follow tireless children around at the fair. But the next year they will be just as eager to go as the children, and will be just as eager to see everything as they ever were! Harold Weeks, ’32 THE SILVER LADY” I can Still remember the “Silver Lady.’’ She was a dear little old person, with beautiful silver hair. She had pink cheeks and a soft skin and kind eyes. She wore a gray taffeta dress, and a lovely old-fashioned necklace. When I saw this little lady she was sitting in a little old rocking chair, beside a cheerful fire-place, knitting. At her feet an enormous black cat lay dreaming of mice, I guess. My friends and I have always called her the Silver Lady. Dorothy Bourne
