PATRONS ................................ 60-61 V 1 To the class of 1967 Mademoiselle Marie-Louise Couanon is a special individual. She is ttMam- sellett, not a person one can describe 0r dehne easily. Those ttmodh paper dresses, la table de frangais, the little corner near Room jil, and that terrible bruit that the juniors make every morning reveal the remarkable spirit of a person who means much, much more to us than just a teacher. She has greatly inhuenced our attitudes during these years at Brimmer by teaching us re- spect and showing us the rewards of hard work and effort. She has been a good friend and, in times of need, a willing listener. She is patient and full of fun. As we have discovered, to know her is to love her and to look for her every day of our school life. DEDICATION $33 Q: It: wnx a . , y mnlfwhmuv a t v hmttynyya . ' 921:1? MISS EMILY C.

The walls were covered with a faded Victo- rian wallpaper. In the center of the back wall was a framed embroi- dery, reading itHome Sweet Home? There was a cushion in the corner; other than that, the room was bare of furniture. This room seemed to exist in no definite space: a Hoor and a ceiling, but nothing above or below them. In fact, although one wall was not a real one, it seemed to contain her. Her view through the opening was limited to a few yards only. iiHerii was a girl of about hfteen. She stood passively inside the room, apparently wanting to go out, yet she did not clutch the bars of the partial wall. She appeared to need understanding and expected someone to approach her. Someone did; it was a shadow, but it had a stern look. It carried a newspaper and walked up and down in front'of the room. periodi- cally giving orders; then passed out of sight. The girl silently hated this figure. Next, another shadow, looking like the girl, threw money and food at her. Silently, she pleaded with it to no avail. Still another appeared, this time one with four legs. It jumped up and down, licked the girPs face, then vanishcd-a figure which the captive wanted to hug. Last came a group of shadows who danced and played games, then disappeared. Upon seeing this group, the girl went into hysterical and convulsive crying. She shouted out various names, but no one responded. Suddenly, all the hgures began to rotate in front of her. The girl rushed to the bars and screamed at the first shadow. Again came the shadow which threw money and food; she subdued her crying to a lament, but the shadow passed on. The four-legged figure reappeared, tossing a rag. She reached out, and for half a second, the form seemed to respondabut no, it played on. The girl cried pathetically, but none of the revolving shadows seemed to notice her frantic gestures. 3k at! :1: Dawn came; the girl seemed to remember something. iiOh, yesa that, she thought with loathing.

The long-recognized faet that the ape lS Itthe closest animal to man physically, intellectually, and sociallyii1 has probably inhuenced man to discover more about these primates. Even the Latin poet, Ennius t239-169 B.C.l realized fearfully our close relationship: ttSimia quam similis turpissima bestia nobisb CIA nasty beast is the Slmlan; how dreadfully like is he to manXU2 In recent years, men have been just as fascinated by the similarities between apes and human beings. Scientists have decided to take advantage of such a close relationship by tumlng to thelr evolutionary cousins for research in the fields of space biology and of psychology. Ever since man began preparing for an entry into space, he has used apes as a main source of experimental knowledge. At first, scientists sent fleas and other small organisms into space and returned them for observation; then investigators realized a need for experiments on an animal more like the human being. Dr. James P. Henry, supervisor of the primate division at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, devised ways of sending monkeys into space. He realized that a pressurized capsule was necessary for successful space flight. At Iirst Dr. Henry sent rhesus mon- keys up in V-2 rockets, but some of the flights failed because of cramped quarters and faulty recoveries. After improvements had been made, however, other flights were successful. Finally, Dr. Henry concluded that provided proper escape-capsules were used and acceleration pressures and temperatures kept within bounds, there was no biological hindrance to manned space hight. Later, in the 19505, apes became important to space research when Captain John Paul Stapp performed about ninety experiments, with human beings and apes, on impact survival. Stapp was concerned with the effects of the quick stop at re-entry after top traveling speed. These Itsled runstl proved that the human body can survive the gravity-impact forces of a space shot. In 1957, the laboratory at Holloman Air Force Base supplied chimpanzees for a hypothetical reLCntry experi- ment. Although some of the chimpanzees were injured internally, scientists could then remedy the situation by improving space suits and capsules and by adding chin rests and contour seats. Another important project at Holloman was the investigation of the effects of atmospheric pressures on the mind and body. Scientists tested the behavior of chimpanzees in conditions of extreme cold, heat, and weightlessness, and in partial vacuums. Aiming to prove that man can stand a leak in a capsule, scientists exposed one chimpanzee to two minutes of total vacuum, and the chimp survived. Finally, in 1961, scientists at Cape Canaveral sent the chimpanzee Ham on a sub-orbital flight. They monitored Hanfs body functions throughout the whole Hight by means of a complex system of Wires, while the chimpanzee traveled on a contour couch and wore a pressure suit-as human astronauts were to do later. Ham and his ape predecessors had helped pave the way for successful manned space flight. In addition to determining the physical abilities of apes, scientists are also trying to discover their exact mentality. A Moscow psychologist has found they can understand some complex forms of communication, such as human facial expressions; yet they cannot understand other complexities. Men by nature learn to speak but apes cannot, although their tongues, jaws. and vocal Chords are similar to manis. A chimpanzee named Viki, however, was taught to mouth the wurd mama and could possibly have learned speech; unfortunately her simple brain would not have permitted her In understand these words. Other scientists have been able to prove that the mentality of apes is really quite high. Hurry Harlow of the University of Wisconsin has been working on a new method of testing the learning power of apes. The psychologist confronts different apes with a series of objects, under one of which food is concealed. Harlow has proved that apes cannot only manipulate objects but ulw differentiate between sizes, shapes, and colors in a variety of situations. For example. when eun- fronted with a tray full of various items, apes have been able to choose by size. shape. and eulor the object concealing the food. Another zoologist and primate psychologist, Desmond Morris, has conducted a series of experi- ments dealing with ape art in relation to human art. When handed paper, brush, and paints. the chimpanzee Congo clutched the brush at first and scribbled with various colors. Then, as she became more ittalentedh, she held the brush between her thumb and forefinger and drew a circle with marks inside it. Before actually drawing faces, a human child reaches the same stage. Thus the chimpanzee did not paint at random; it chose the colors and forms it wished to represent. Child psychologists have also employed apes in their studies. Because they require less time in mature than men, many different apes may be raised for experimentation in short periods. A5 Ilung as apes remain infants, they relate closely to their mothers. All ape mothers. especially gurtllas. caress and protect their children, just as human beings do. By placing an infant in a cage with a stuffed animal, scientists have performed experiments to determine the degree of an iniant ape s dependence on its mother. They frightened the ape by beating on a drum; immediately it clung tu its itcloth motherii, just as a human child clings to a teddy bear or a dull when lllh-CCUIC ur frightened. . ,, . A young British zoologist, who has actually lived among the great apes in Tanganyika, has observed many habits of ape children which anticipate those of human beings: She has diacuvcrcd that young chimpanzees play games similar to those of human children. lhe chimpanzees Use branches forjungle gyms, play tug-of-war with sticks. and play follow the leatier. . . .

THE COMING OF THE PROPHET Restless with excitement, Jerome woke early. He lay on his little bed and went over again all the things his mother had told him. Long ago, according to the ancients, God had promised to send a Messiah to lead the Chosen People back to Him, and from time to time He sent a prophet to encour- age the children of God and make a new pronouncement as to when this savior might appear. The word had come to Jerusalem that a new prophet was coming to town today by the old South Road. After his work was done, Jerome slipped out into the hot still air of the streets and ran to join all the other children and the faithful waiting for the prophet at the city gates. His chores had taken him a long time today, and he would have to hurry to get there before the prophet was to arrive. He darted and dodged, tripped and tumbled through the busy streets, alternately avoiding and crashing into perturbed townspeople. , Time was getting short. He wanted to see the prophet so much! Maybe he could slip down this side street and take a short cut through a back gate. He was a little afraid of the narrow, dark road; but he would do anything to be in time to see the prophet. With only a secondls hesitation at the entrance of the alley, he went bravely ahead, very much aware that no one else was in sight. All of a sudden, he heard a door close behind him and two menls voices, loud and excited. He panicked, and took off down the alley as fast as he could, so scared that he ran all the way to the South Gate. Later, when he got home, he tried to tell his mother about the incident, but all she wanted to hear about was the prophet: what did he look like? what did he predict? He knew that it was silly, but something about the incident bothered him, and he couldnlt forget it. The men, they were talking so crazy. Something about an open tomb . . .

The challenging sun rose to its zenith. The walls trembled at a slight noise in the distuneewsontemte could be coming at last! The castle waited unxioualy, and every creature stopped its busy routine. A huge bright orange truck stopped at the clearing space. The castle shook violently.

Nancy Smith, '68 GUAGLIO On the beach at Cape Cod one evening, I noticed two girls huddled together looking at something which the older one held. Running to see what it was, I could hear av high peeping sound. I looked eagerly into her hands and saw a hrown mallard duckling as small and almost as round as a tennis ball. His back dlpped downward into 5 stump of tail. He was so fuzzy that his tiny, delicate wings stuck out comically from his body. He wore a yellow spot near each eye, with a few other spots dispersed over his body and head. His stubby bill and webbed feet were black to match his eyes. The girls had found him in the grass along the waters edge. They had to go away the next morning, so they left the duckling in my care. That night, I prepared a cardboard box, supplying it with newspaper, sawdust, water, and a dish of raw egg mixed with bread crumbs. He didnit like the meal, though, so I offered him some cracked corn which he wouldnit eat either. I slept with his box beside my bed; when I put my hand into the box, he climbed into it, lay down, pushed his bill between my fmgers, and went to sleep. Each time I took my hand away, he would peep until I oEered him its warmth again. The next morning, hopeful of returning him home, I spotted a female mallard with a couple of ducklings resting on the shore. When the ducks came to receive the grain which I held in my hand, I put my duckling down and hurried to a beached boat to watch. Presently he followed the mother, but she did not look back at him, and he soon fell behind. I had been following at a distance in the boat; when my duckling saw me, he swam into my hand. Now that he was a member of the family, we named him Guaglio thlyoi which means ttLittle Joeii in Italian. Guaglio was extremely tame and friendly, so he didnit mind being handled. In fact, he peeped anxiously and angrily when left alone. One afternoon, Guaglio was chasing ants. After he had crept into my hand, I placed him in the grass; as I walked to the garage, he followed, peeping loudly, hurrying to keep up. That afternoon was to be our last with Guaglio. That night our search for a warm nest for him produced only a small coffee can. I thought the tin would reHect the heat from his body, so I put cotton in the bottom and Guaglio on it. It was a cold night. however; he was too tiny to generate much heat, and the can got cold. The next morning, Mom called me. Guaglio was sick; he could hardly move his head. Holding him. I tried to warm him. He was motionless, but still I continued stroking him. A few minutes later, we buried him under a small pine tree. In the evening, I asked Mom if she believed in Heaven. She told me that she had once heard a story that she liked to believe. When someone died, his soul became a star; and every time someone thought of him, he knew it and his star shone. Late the next night, I went outside and looked at the stars. I spotted a small one beside the moon; it was twinkling brightly. I smiled; and still looking at it, I said softly, ttKeep shining, my little one? Barrie Goodman, I69 I SAW THE STRANGEST THING One night as I was walking home I saw the strangest sight. It was big and round With a white shining face And danced as though in llight. I got so scared I raced for home, But it chased me through the sky. It looked down at me as if to laugh, And then it flew right by.

J ill Norman, Grade 4 59 A WALK IN AUTUMN The smell of burning lezttes and the sound of a bamboo rake started me in the dtrection of a certain road. I passed through a thick wood and could hear squirrels chattering as they gathered nuts I could hear the pitter-pzttter of feet go- ing rather fast and assumed it wushm animal. There was a sudden gust of wind, and the glittering leaves fell from their branches and whirled to the ground. I had almost reached the road; and starting across a lield. l noticed a horse- drawn cart rumbling by. lilled with fruits. pumpkins, and corn. The grass in this field was thick and tall, thus hiding holes over which I tripped. After linally reach- ing the road.
