Erratic beaux adorn the other side, Not to their best friends do they dare confide. Frilly frocks and shiny Mary Janes Mix well with pants well-creased and ties inane. Gloves of white surround the fingers slight; Do come and save us from this awful plight! ttWhich one is best? , the crew-eut boys do cry. ttMy shoes pinch sow the hair-curled girls do sigh. Glanees at the Clock do rescue not Our frightened prey who in this lot is caught. The word is giv'n. and heard are voices loud, A twitter twits among the other crowd. Fortitude must be-then one last glance. ttMay I have the dleasure of this panceT Elizabeth Jones. 67 A WINTERTS NIGHT The snow is quiet on the ground, And the wind is blowing all around, And the night is very black, And the trees are tapping on my back. By Phoebe, Grade 3 A COLD WINTERTS NIGHT The chilly snow crunched under my feet The velvet night defied the heat And the icy wind whipped right past me, As I ducked the gnarled branches on the tree. Phoebe Macphee, Grade 6 THOUGHTS ON A WINTERTS EVE A frozen crust upon the ground, The diamond-studded blackness, The winds, whipping the limbs Of the groaning trees onward. Alone I walk, free. P. Macphee, Grade 9 The silence of the nascent divine gift The infinite hollow ink above The chilling steel sweeps by, In another dimension-v One of touch, but blindness. The frosted fingers of fate Reaching out to strike; he Escapes, never knowing the truth. Macphee, i156 Dana Hetherington, A68

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. . . .
