Perhaps the place itself had something to do with the mood of its inhabitants. It was cool and shady, offering wel' come relief to those less heedless of the glaring sun than Jerry and Rick. These two wandered aim' lessly, hand in hand, while the less hardy smiled on them from beneath the silent, drooping trees, watching with pleasure the journey of the couple as they made the circuit of the zoo and its occupants. The sight of them together was a joy to more than one onflooker, for even alone each would have been the reason for a second look. From her golden bangs to her plain white blouse, cotton plaid skirt, and silly, openftoed sandals, jerry was her cus' tomary picture of coolness and childflike simplicity. Her bangs were the crown for a shoulderflength bob with just a suggestion of turning under and for a square face animated by a wide, friendly mouth, a turnfup nose, and laughing, crinkly eyes, that often led to jokes on jerry because of their shortcomings. Her white, openftoed sandals were the pedestals for two tanned, bare legs, swinging easily from beneath the full, pleated skirt. The young man at her side presented a notftoofcomplex appearance himself. Rick was a sturdilyfbuilt blonde, with great, blue eyes, a pug nose, and a grin for everyone. His love of red was evident as usual, this time in a crimson blazer, trailing from his left hand, his patriotism was complete in his white jersey and navy blue slacks. It had been a month since jerry and Rick had last roamed the park and the entertaining zoo, their favorite places for just walking. Distance was not the reason, though, for they lived so near that Thomas O'Toole, the redffaced police' man on the corner near the entrance, seemed rather a friend than a peacefkeeper. jerry, worried over Sandy, had kept putting Rick off, until Hnally she had ref solved to spend a day with him, doing her utmost to concentrate on his endless overflow of words and to keep her mind from wandering to more serious thoughts. Her smiling, friendly exterior seemed to indicate that she was succeeding in her resolve, while the repeated sound of her slow, husky voice attested to all observers that her thoughts were indeed intent on her companion and his conversation. Yet deep within, Jerry was miles away on a distant battlefield with Sandy, won' dering how he was and why he did not write. I sure hope they'll take me in the marines. D'you think they will? Rick turned to her with so anxious a face that Jerry could not help replying, SEMINARIA 1943 17 I don't see how in the world you expect to be accepted. The marines're always handsome and strong, so that sort of lets you out. At this answer, Rick began a lecture on all his fine points-a lecture which became increasingly vehement as jerry became increasingly amused. Her merri' ment had grown from a smile to a giggle and was fast becoming a fullfgrown laugh, when Mr. O'Toole, passing through the park on his way to direct the sparse traffic at the comer, and walking with halffopened eyes to shut out the blazing sun, was brought to an abrupt stop by a collision with the two pref occupied arguers. jerry, diverted for the moment from thoughts of Sandy, was jokingly answering Rick's attempts to make her take back what she had said. She was so engrossed in the friendly quarrel that her shortfsighted eyes failed to recognize the friendly Irishman. Rick, however, immediately seized the police' man's hand, enlisting him on his side of the battle of words. With a twinkle in his eye and amusement in his voice, Thofnas O'Toole stayed long enough to help the young man defeat his unconvinced opponent. Then he hurried on, leaving a triumphant Rick and a merrily bewildered jerry. Soon, however, jerry's bewilderment changed a ain to worry about Sandy, since Rick, watching and commenting on the flight 0? a balloon escaped from some wailing youngster, failed to notice her absorption in things other than his conf versation. Her thoughts were ones she had had often during the past three weeks. Was Sandy safe and well? Was he wounded or perhaps missing in actionn? She would not let them go further in that direction. Had he received her package? her letters? Why didn't he write at least to his family? The news had been ominous. Perhaps he had been captured. But there again she stopped. Then suddenly she realized the unfairness of such thinking. She had resolved to conf centrate on Rick, yet there she was thinking heart and soul of Sandy. With a switch as sudden as the changing of a radio station, she again became aware of Rick, at the very instant he was noticing her preoccupation. But, since the balf loon's escape and Jerry's thoughts had filled only a few brief moments, since Rick almost immediately found a new topic of interest, they continued as though they had never been miles apart in thought. Rick's new interest was a huge brown and white dog, wagged by a bushy, plume'like tail. Since no particular breed dominated, the two decided that he was just dog. With his fpedigree decided upon-agreement for a change-they went on to pick a name or him, meanwhile shaking hands with him and lovingly scratching his ears. The fact that he was a strange dog never bothered themg in fact, it made the procedure more mysterious, since they went through the same ritual with every dog they happened to encounter, whether known or unknown. Rick suggested Wags, jerry countered with Wrinkles, he came back with Bruce, and she had just pronounced Robin, when WagsfWrinklesfBruce' Robin bounded off in answer to a whistle and shouts of Here, Dash. Laughing at themselves and the dog as he galloped awkwardly away, they would have proceeded on their wanderings, except that they felt that there was a new, oppressive heat in the air caused by something other than the sun, which they had ignored. They looked upward just in time to see the last bit of yellow 18 SEMINARIA 1943 low disappear behind sullen, gray clouds, to be replaced by sudden flashes of Eghtning and by a delu e of rain which could not have struck the earth since Noah's time. With no tiought of reaching home, they dashed into the nearest entrance to the animal house. Rick, always the gentleman, waged a losing battle with the swiftfrising wind, but valiantly held the door for jerry. Once inside, they almost wished they had sprinted home. The animal house, already warm because of the day, was fast becoming sultry. Although the denizens of the jungle may have felt at home in the stuffy atmosphere, the dripping sightfseers, who every minute increased in numbers, became convinced that they would never be jungle explorers and Frank Buck's. The building, besides being permeated with the usual animal scents and the additional odor of wet clothing and people, was soon filled with the roaring of the caged beasts, as the lightning and thunder increased, stirring up whatever fighting spirit they had. Jerry, still clinging desperately to Rick's hand, lapsed again into a reverie almost disheartening now in its implica- tions. She was startled into reality by Rick's matterfofffact voice. With a plaintive look on his open face and a straightening of his broad shoulders, he inquired, Why d'you look so worried? You needn't be afraid because I can take care of you. See, l'm not scared even if the lions do roar and there is thunder and lightning. I'm brave enough to take care of both of us, and please stop worrying about Daddy, 'cause nothing can ever happen to him, Mommy. There in Rick's voice Jerry found the courage she needed to give her hope for the future. Then she stopped worrying about Daddy and began instead to wonder when her fourfyearfold might join the marines.

JOAN WATERS, '44 SEMINARIA 1943 19 A Bnnus fur Banners LOWERfCLASS STORY Mrs. Lorey picked u The Chicago Evening News, read the article once more, and then looked out ofJ the window with eyes slightly squinted, as if she saw something that was invisible to others. She was an elderly woman with an inf tellectual air, and her plump figure was swathed in a dull blue silk dress that matched the blue of her eyes to perfection. The fingers that held the paper were long and graceful, but her nails were trimmed short, and there was something about the severity of the ashfcolored hair brushed back from her face which made her seem very businessflike. She tore herself from her reverie and again looked down at the Ladies' Page of the paper. In the left hand corner in stern black print was written A Bonus for 'Boners', and underneath was an explanation of the offer. This American paper offered a prize, a reward, a bonus, for people who were sporting enough and im- personal enough to offer up their mistakes on the altar of humor. The only stipula- tion was that the letters be written by their subscribers and mailed before mid' night that Saturday. It wasn't that Mrs. Lorey needed the money, or even wanted it for that matter, but the idea intrigued her. A Bonus for 'Boners' -Mrs. Lorey knew her subject. She took a wellfsharpened yellow pencil in her hand, looked down at the pale blue paper, let the pencil fall again, leaned back in her chair, and let her thoughts wander. Although it was many years ago, it seemed like yesterday, when Bill had kissed her at the Landons' party, and told her he wanted her to belong to him forever. She had been only twenty, and Bill hadn't had much money, so when they were married they had gone to live with Bill's mother and father in the large house on High Street. Mrs. Lorey hated the old house with the heavy old- fashioned fumiture, and all of the Lorey ancestors glaring down from their frames at her. She especially despised Aunt Eliza and Uncle Egbert Lorey who seemed to dominate the whole house from above the living room mantel. Uncle Egbert was a very meekflooking soul, and Mrs. Lorey fancied she heard Aunt Eliza sniff every time she entered the room. As years went on, Bill and jean were left sole pos' sessors of the home, but still Aunt Eliza and Uncle Egbert glared! Bill was now doing very well at the Chicago Bank and he had risen from a teller to vicefpresident in twelve years. jean had had two adorable children, Bonnie, a blonde child with her mother's eyes, and Bill, jr., who was the image of his father. Both youn sters were in school. jean and Bill had saved up enough money to send them to coiege, and now came the time for which jean had been waiting. One night when Bill was reading in the parlor, and she and Aunt Eliza had been exchanging unpleasantries for a half hour, she decided to bring up the question. 20 SEMINARIA 1943 Of course, Bill had said. We can easily afford it. So the next day jean had started to redecorate the house. She discarded the mahogany and the walnut for birdseye maple, and the heavy draperies and portieres gave way to Brussels Lace. A beautiful gas log with an odorless flame was a happy substitute in the place where a wood fire used to crackle, and a look of triumph stole over Mrs. Lorey's face when she stood in the front door of her fashionable home and watched two burly moving men carry out Aunt Eliza and Uncle Egbert from their accustomed places over the mantel. As the front door closed upon them she watched with no regret Aunt Eliza's sniff for the last time and Uncle Egbert's last disapproving glance from the corner of his eye. She had sold them for very little money, but what could one expect from two pictures like that, and besides it had been almost enough money to pay for the etching of Paris in the Spring which now occupied the coveted place over the gas log. Now that her house was redecorated Mrs. Lorey would go on through life contented. There was nothing that she wanted. The years flew by, and now Bonnie was attending a fashionable boarding school, and Bill was getting good grades in an eastern college. But something was weighing heavily on the mind of jean, something that needed to be straight- ened out. One morning during vacation when Mrs. Lorey and her two children were eating breakfast later than usual, she carefully and tactfully led the conf versation to a subject that had been troubling her. Other families have guests, why not ours? Other children bring their friends home and share the companion' ship with their parents. Your father and I would like closer contact with your friends. Is there any reason why you do not make it possible? Bill ate furiously, his face very red. Bonnie, seeing that there was no hope of help from her brother, took the conversation as gently as she could into her own hands. Blue eyes met blue eyes earnestly and truthfully. Look, mom, it isn't your fault. You and dad are swell. It's this house. It isn't comfortable or homey. It looks like it grew up when someone had an hour with nothing to do. Nothing looks old, or used, or loved, or lived with. You'd never know we had grandparents! If Mrs. Lorey felt a sting at her daughter's words, her voice, in spite of it, was cool as she answered, I never saw it just that way, children. I'll see what can be done about it by your next vacation. Now that the children had gone back to college Mrs. Lorey was free to ponder the matter over in her mind. She decided to secure the services of the best interior decorator in Chicago, and see what he could do about making their house a home. The interior decorator was really making an improvement. He had brought divans, soft colored carpets, and comfortable chairs, and now the house really looked lived in. He had told her he would be through by the end of the week, and he was faithfully keeping his promise. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Lorey was sitting in the parlor enjoying the new coziness when the decorator strode breathlessly into the room. I've got it, I've got it!, he gasped, I've got just the thing to com' plete this room. What is it? , replied Mrs. Lorey in a tone that sounded as if it just came out of the ice box. SEMINARIA 1943 21 Something to give this room warmth and color. A room, like people, must have roots and background, answered the interior decorator. Of course, Mrs. Lorey, he said a little apologetically, This touch may be a little expensive, but leave it to me. You'll find it well worth the money. Mrs. Lorey acquiesced, and the decorator left in triumph! The next day Mrs. Lorey went shopping with Mrs. Connor, and there was surf rise and pleasure in her voice when Mrs. Connor said that she heard the Loreys had redecorated their house and she would love to see it. Mrs. Lorey had a feeling of pride as they went up the brick walk, but when she opened the front door she heard a sniff and felt a cold stare. Yes, there in their accustomed places were Aunt Eliza and Uncle Egbert. Mrs. Lorey rapped her pencil against the paper, brought her thoughts to the present, and raised her eyes to Aunt Eliza over the mantel. In spite of the sniff it was a kindly face, and she thought very differently of the prim black dress and the cameo than she had thirty years ago. Why now she even liked the Way Uncle E bert stared! She carefully copied the address that the Ladies' Page7' had given Wien she thought she heard again a sniff. In a relationship that, she found, goes deeper than words, Mrs. Lorey understood that Aunt Eliza would not approve of selling family stories for money. Aunt Eliza would not think it 6ttin'. All right, Auntie, said Mrs. Lorey as she tore the envelope into tiny pieces. You and I both know that in years of comfort, companionship, and tranquillity I've had my bonus for my 'boner'. FRANCES SAPERSTON, '45 0 PHILOSOPHY There is a quiet beauty in a sigh. There is a diamond brilliance in a tear. And there is beauty in the passing of a life, As beauty in the dying of the year. I see a depth of passion in my faith, To melt the cold and cruel ice of care- A crown of rubies, hot and red as blood, Set with the costly jewels of despair. BARBARA Goom-run, '43 SEMINARIA IQ43 That Fnnlish Prayer PRIZE POEM I used to say a prayer at night, I used to think perhaps it might Be some help, when I went astray, To light the way. And then l grew and knew such things As only highest wisdom hringsg I saw pure light-why stop to pray?+- Since there was day. But all the while I stumbled on There was no light-only a moon Of shifting shadows, silverfgray: I lost the way. MARGARET NICHOLS, '44 SEMINARIA 1943 23 Blilhe Spirit PRIZE ESSAY She has that odd elfin way ahout her that helongs only to a fourfyear old. l Wheii she walks, she has a huoyant step, which is characteristic of her in- dividual charm and personality. Alf though she is little, she packs unhoundf ing energy into her diminutive size. Her eyes, which are a dark hazel, twinkle almost constantly, except when they are clouded occasionally hy large, salty tears. She has a lilting and infectious laugh which is typical of her happiness, and an ingratiating smile that warms even the coldest heart. 5.1.6. She is as complex and haflling as a lahyrinth. One moment she is sitting quietly looking at slWil1l1lC the Pooh, and the next moment she is out of doors, riding her pride and joy, an undersize tvvofwheeler hicycle. She ahhors peas and turnips and delights in green grapes and purple gumdrops. As she goes ahout her playing, she sings Deep in the Heart of Texas, and the Star Spangled Banner. When she goes for her daily walk, she counts service flags. It is her aspiration to stay up until Daddy goes to hed. At strange hours she frequents the kitchen for what she terms peanutfhutter sands, which consist of a piece of hread smothered on hoth sides with peanut hutter. Although Santa Claus has hrought her a myriad of dolls, she loves devotedly a rag doll of uncertain vintage that wears only a white cotton shirt. Each morning she is up at the crack of dawn. She hurries into Mother's and Daddy's room sing' ing Good lvlorning to Youl' at the top of her lungs, and if this fails to waken them, she goes hack to hed and picks out the letters of the alphahct she knows in her hooks. Her favorite pastime, however, is cutting ladies, her name in huge letters, and pictures of Hitler out of scraps of paper, freehand. In the afternoon she goes to kindergarten, and from the time she comes home until she goes to hed, she talks incessantly ahout her activities there. Do not for a moment think that her actions leave nothing to he desired. On the contrary, like everyone, she has her foihles. She is particularly fond of visiting the neighhors. and staying for dinner, and she cries lustily ifanyone tries to comh her soft hrown hair. Light hlue sailor dresses seem hest to suit her round face and pointed chin. Her small, retrousse nose, with its delicate sprinkling of freckles, has a way of hurrowf ing into your shoulder when she gives you a hug. She is as suhtle as a summer hreezc, and just as welcome. One day this summer, 24 SEMINARIA 1943 when she was downtown with Mother, she saw a large, burly policeman sitting on a horse. As she crossed the street, she went up to him and asked, Do little girls -ever ride that horse? whereupon the policeman swung her into the saddle and rode with her down Main Street several blocks. Last year, after she went to the Christmas pageant at church, she wanted to be an angel. Grandma made her avpair of paper wings, and pinned them on her dress. When I came home, I found her lying on her round, little stomach, sobbing piteously. She looked up at me and said in a voice both poignant and wistful, But, Martha, I have wings, and I can't fly. MARTHA Cormzss, '45 MY HORSE Under color of old ivory Your muscles flow like cream, You wear satin for a garment, Without Wrinkle or a seam Which molds itself to beauty, As ripples to a stream. Heavilyfhoofed, you barely roughen The turf on which you stand, While your lip, exploring, finds The curved palm of my hand For the notfinfrequent sugar That is your sole demand. Lay a muzzle soft as satin On rough tweed, and undeterred, Flip your ears and gently nibble A boot no longer spurred, You and I have swom alliance Without need of any word. ARLINE SNYDER, '44 SEMINARIA IQ43 25 'l'l1nuqh I Shall Nut Be N ear Thee HONORABLE MENTION I was new at the Miss Regent's school. I walked up the broad, elmflined path, gazed at the grey stone mansion, and decided that it was a very pleasant school. Everyone was cordial. Miss Regent, a duplicate of my favorite aunt, looked at me with lovely greenfblue eyes. Well, Babs, I hope you like us as much as we expect to like you. I hoped so, too. This was Sunday morning and she introduced me to several of the girls sitting on the tufted grass or floating idly in the sheeny pool. Yes, I liked them-Betty, Alice, Patty, Jean, and Shirley, all were bright lively girls whom you would recognize as funflovers anywhere. They certainly did not believe in formality. Babs, do you like swimming? Do you play hockey? Do you know anyone at Harvard?-Dartmouth?-Yale? Do come take a sunbath! Then I asked one question, just one. By the way, who's going to be my roommate? Silence. Silence for a long, long time. Then-anxious grins of various degrees of sincerity accompanied the sudden burst of conversation. She's awfully nice-and cute-and sweet. Here she comes. I looked around at the lone Ggure gliding down the path. She wore her clothes beautifully. Her face, a little plump, held a beatific smile. How sweet, I thought, how very sweet. As she drew nearer, she held out her hand. In a clear, bellflike voice floated the words, Why, you must be Babs. My name is Gwendolyn Williams. We're to be roommates. She was beautiful to me just then, although, as soon as she left, I could not visualize her. That very afternoon, we set up housekeeping. Gwendolyn, although she had already moved in, had graciously saved the better bureau and softer bed for me. When I thanked her, she smiled, That's all right. You're new. She helped me put away my things and offered to show me around school. Then she insisted on helping me study for I had entered a week after the term had begun. By bedftime she looked more ethereal than ever, in a weary sort of way. Instead of being grouchy or gruff, she merely smiled. At the same time that I congratulated myself on having such an evenftempered roomfmate, I asked a few questions such as, What's the catchy how long does the good luck hold out? I discovered the answer 26 SEMINARIA IQ43 within the next few days: Gwendolyn was a martyr. She and the Last Duchess had much in common, for Gwendolyn, too, smiled, no doubt, Whene'er I passed her, but who passed without Much the same smile? As the days crept by, my annoyance at her increased, and yet she continued to be the dearest, most considerate friend a person could have. If I decided to go skating, and did not invite her along, I did not get reproaches, I got a smile. If I did not clean up my part of the room, I would return to a shining room and an equally shining Gwen who would ask if there were anything she could do for me. Finally, I had to admit to myself that she was thoroughly distasteful to meg in fact, I hated her. Whereas she had seemed ethereal, she now looked like some sleek Gargoyle whose face is carved into an everlasting leer. I began to interpret all her actions towards me as mocking and resentful. At night, if she appeared in my dreams, it would be as a witch, with her sweet face slightly altered till it had a round, nasty, smiling, cynical, supercilious, sneering expression. I looked for the symf pathy in the faces of the other girls which they so willingly gave. I tried snubbing herg it did no good. I tried to forget the past and look at her anew, it did no good. I tried to be pleasant, to hide my feelings entirely, it certainly did no good. I was very fortunate in that the school year was comparatively short. I kept myself busy as best I could-swimming, taking frequent trips to town, and stay' ing with the other girls. I grew patient and resigned. Small lines of misery and selffpity soon appeared on my face, but as soon as I realized what a martyr I was becoming, I quickly recovered. About an hour each evening I spent in the sound- proof music room. Here I would bang on the piano, yelling and scolding at the blank wall all the while. Here I would release all the steam I had accumulated during the day. Most of all, here I kept a calendar, counting ten times an evening the little red numbers that constituted the remainder of school. One month, three weeks, ten days-for some strange reason the time flew by. I found out that Gwendolyn had to leave half a day early in order to meet her parents-I banged on the piano for only half an hour that night. I grew more and more cheerful as the last day approached. I awoke the final moming, radiant. I helped her pack. I said Goodbye, and It certainly has been fun. As she smiled sweetly I almost let go, but not quite. I stood at the top of the stairs and watched her go down. I raced to the window and gleefully watched the graceful, hated Hgure disappear along the broad, elmflined walk. I watched the tiny speck ride away in a taxi. Then I looked up, conscious of what had passed out of my life. I let out a' whoop, and, diving onto the bed, I hugged the blue and white ticking of SEMINARIA IQ43 27 the newlyfstripped pillow, and grew hysterical. With a sigh of rapture I reached to my desk and pulled at a narrow blue book that had a white marker stuck in the middle. The volume of poems was nine days overdue from the library, but it was well worth the fine to be able to recite in a triumphant voice, Go, forget me! Why should sorrow O'er that brow a shadow fling? Go, forget me, and tofmorrow Brightly smile and sweetly sing! Smile-though I shall not be near theeg Sing-though I shall never hear thee! With a purely malicious purpose, I danced around the room, overturning every' thing in sight as I repeated in a singfsong refrain, Smile-though I shall not be 'near theeg Sing-though I shall never hear thee! BABETTE Bum, '43 0 CHANGES Have you ever noticed how people change- With the seasons? This summer he was warm as the burning sands where we met, He chilled with the autumn winds And now- When we meet His words are as nonchalant and cool As the feathery snowflakes That swirl about our heads And his heart- Is carved of ice. I SUZANNB MISCHKA, '44 28 SEMINARIA 1943 Influence A heavy umbrella of smoke gathered over four men as they allowed their cigars to bum on while they played cards. Each man was in his late forties but had already made his name famous as a leader in his own particular line. Cne was an editor of a large newspaper, next was a sternfchinned Admiral, the third, a man' ager of a large steel concern, and the last, a doctor. Several years ago they had met here at the club to play cards, but since the war had broken out they had played rarely because the Admiral was so infrequently there. They talked in low voices, occasionally laughing at bygone times, and when the card game was finished they eased back in their Morris chairs and sipped their drinks. A loud knock was heard on the cardfroom door as a young boy in the Army Air Corps made his entrance and interrupted the quiet interlude with an abrupt greeting to his father, the Admiral. The boy left just as abruptly as he had come, after he had collected a few dollars. Two men smiled at the Admiral and the third one spoke, A hne thing, a son of the Admiral in the Army. The others smiled, but a grave look came over the Admiral's face, It wasn't my wish, I assure you. I have hoped ever since he was born that he would join the Navy, but it seems that some girl thinks different. Four men looked down in their glasses, each remembering the one who had influenced him. The editor was the first to speak, I guess somewhere in every man's life there is some woman who influences him, whether it be his mother, his sister, or some girl, and here a smile lit his tired face. There was in mine. The three men looked up with questioning eyes and then, little by little, they told their individual stories. The editor began. Well, it isn't a very long story and the person was a young girl, sort of a crazy kid, whom I met in New York during the last world war. She wasn't very bright, but she could make you laugh and she could dance like a fairy all night and never tire. I wrote her when I went to France and she said sheloved my letters and conf tinually she wrote me and encouraged me to continue writing, for she said I could color lifeless things with words and paint a picture clearly in a few short sentences. SEMINARIA IQ43 29 So I became a reporter and here I am. Did you ever see her after the war? No, I lost contact with her and when I went to look for her I couldn't find her. I sometimes think she is the reason I never married. The Admiral was next. It was a girl in my life too, an ambitious little, spoiled kid, who went up to the Maine coast every summer. She was like a boy, lithe and active. We used to sail on the ocean and she could climb to the topsails of our schooner as fast as any of us boys could and steer a ship straighter than Einstein could draw a line. We used to talk a lot about the Navy, but I wanted to join the tank battalion and when the war was declared she all but dragged me into the Navy recruiting oihce, regardless of my wishes. She said we belonged to the sea and at least one of us was going to command a ship and since she was a girl, I should join the Navy. I know now that she was right. And what became of her? I don't really know. You see she was more like another boy. She never needed much manly protection, so when I married Alice, I lost track of her. The influence in my life, began the manager, was an American girl I met in France after the war. She loved gaiety, clothes, and everything that was lavish and expensive. She had the beauty to go with them too. I met her at a dinner a friend gave, and I guess I was awed by her proud carriage and her sophisticated ways. I was only twentyfiive then, with no ambitiong but she put the lire and brimstone into me which has led me to the top. I often wonder what became of her and if she ever found the man she was looking for in France, a writer of some sortf Last came the doctor. We all seemed to have had a girl in our lives, for mine too was a girl. Not as vivacious as the girl in Paris or as lithe as yours, Admiral, but when she died I thought I would too. I met her twenty years ago out home. She had tuberculosis and had come west to be cured. We didn't know it though, when we gave her a job as math teacher in our school. She was quiet and domestic and it wasn't until she became really ill that we knew what was wrong with her. It was an awful 30 SEMINARIA 1943 shock. I never knew her past, but Nancy would have made for any man, a heaven on earth. Nancy is a nice name, said the Admiral. It was my girl's name too, but we called her Skipper. XVhy, what a coincidence, exclaimed the manager. Mine was too-Nancy Night. Nancy Night, echoed the editor, as in night and day. For a moment the four men looked strangely and silently from one to another for they knew their lives had not been influenced by four separate girls, but by one seen through different eyes. PRISCILLA BAssnT'r, '44 0 'THE STRANGER Early one morning I heard her As she tiptoed up our street And the last faint traces of winter Vanished at her feet Early one morning I felt her As she tenderly tried to make Each tiny bird upon the wing Sing the world awake. At last one moming I saw her, And my heart began to sing, In that brief moment I knew her- Of course she was the Spring! NELLB SANDERS, '43 SEMINARIA I943 31 Happiness HONORABLE MENTION Stretch out your hands and grasp what lies so near- But quickly! Lest it fly on shadowed wings. Hold gently, like a flower in your palm, That which you want above all earthly things. But grasp it tightly with a greedy grip, And it will bruise and wither, day by day. Forget it in your search for earthly might, And, like quicksilver, it will slip away. Each bud and flower needs attentive care To blossom forth, its petals wide apart. Be gentle, lest it make a phantom flight, And leave you but its shadow on your heart. BARBARA Goonuun, '43 0 I-llnne There is music, there are low voices, happy voices of children who are dancing or moving their feet to the shuffling rhythm, The little girls are dressed in pink taffeta and blue silk and shiny patent leather shoes, and each curly head of hair has been combed, just so. The little boys are dressed in their most precious long trousers, their hair is ' slicked down, just so. And there is a corner behind a post, And a little girl ' In the pinkest taffeta, shiniest shoes, and the curliest hairg And she is listening and watching, And waiting.

BETTY Burzizn, '44 is lmleeisiun I walked for a long time Down dark streets, past dreary homesg I had to think. It was raining, And the rain Left pools in the slush where my feet had beeng It drizzled off my hat and ran down my face, Leaving grimy tearfpaths. Overhead the street lights sent out a dull glow That soon faded into the fog Like rejected, passing thoughts And left deep, empty spaces of mist. The rain from the eaves overhanging the walk Dripped slowly, sluggishly, Falling heavily on the sidewalk with a flat, finished sound! People hurried by me, splashing up slush and mud, Their faces worried, frightened, tired, confused- Like mine. Then I turned a cornerg The sudden brilliance of the sun struck me full in the face. Children were playing on the warm walks, Calling to each other across the wide street, Chasing one another over the green grass- Their voices reached me, gay and carefree, Their faces were bright and happy- Like mine. I had decided. ANNE Mxrcnett, '44 SEMINARIA IQ43 The Dream The bird in the blue A Of heaven's huge sea Is a graceful thing, With wings that are free. And the man in the tide Of the earth's slimy sea Is tangled and twisted- His freedom a plea, A mere word Never heard But in his own dream. And if he be lost And turn from the tide, The men that had helped him Then cast him aside And call him a coward For letting his dream- An impossible thing- Overcome him. And he has not tried To be brave like the rest And to swallow the brine That comes rushing and pouring In torrents too swift For his weak, choking gasp- But the bird in the blue Of heaven's huge sea Yet sails a smooth circle And sings-he is free. MARGARET Nicuons, '44 34 SEMINARIA 1943 My Day: All I-Iveraqe Seminary Student SCENE 1. CThe setting is a street, any street, at 9:15 A.M. on a weekday, any weekday. It is snowing heavily. A black figure emerges from the gloom--but do not be afraid, dear reader. It is only a Seminary student, plodding along to her Institute of Learning. She can hardly see, due partly to the snowstorm, but mainly to the fact that she is still halffasleep. Nevertheless, her feet, from force of habit, guide her safely in the right direction. Presently another black figure joins her.l Fnzsr BLACK FIGURE! HL SECOND BLACK FIGURE: HL Cfhey trudge along silently fo1 a few minutesj Fuzsr B.F.: Gosh, I'm sleepy. CTawns.D Wonder if we'll have long periods. SECOND B.F.: Why bring that up? CPause.J I forgot to do my history last night. Wish I could get out of class. I'd say I had a headache and lie down, but I pulled that last week. Mrs. Waterman acted very suspicious anyway. Fmsr: Ctrying not to sound proudjz Joe called me last night.

CPause.J Did you notice Shirley's hair yesterday? A Fmsr fsignificantlyj: Could I miss it? C'I'hey look at each other in complete understandingl SCENE II. CThis scene takes place in a small room crowded with girls' lockers, girls' books, and girls. Having removed their coats, the two Black Figures are standing in front of a long wall mirror. To make matters clearer, we shall hence- forth refer to them as Ellen and Kay, and the remaining assortment as jean, Carol, Betty, Sue, etc.J ' ELLEN: Anybody got a comb? JEAN! Is your hair clean? ELLEN fhaughtilyj: Naturally. But is your comb? JEAN: Well, you don't have to use it. ELLEN: Oh, I was only kidding. fShe makes a few halffheafted passes at her hair with a. comb, and then gives up in disgustj KAY! Is my lipstick all off? Let's go. ELLEN: Wait a sec. Hey, Sue, did you do your history? SUE Cfrom somewhere inside her lockefl: Yes, Boy, what an assignment! SEMINARIA 1943 35 ELLEN Canxiouslyj: What was it about? SUE: Oh, heavens it would take too long to tell. Didn't you do it? ELLEN: Are you kiddin'? The homework I had last night shouldn't happen to a dog. KAY: I guess maybe we shouldn't have talked so long on the phone. But after all, we've got to have some recreation. ELLEN: Oh, three quarters of an hour isn't long. BETTY! Hey, kids, there's the bell! Cfhere is a scramble of flying legs and books. The room is empty.D SCENE III. QWe now see a large vaulted room filled with rows of seats. As the students lile in with a loud squeaking of prontos, Miss Angell surveys them from in front of the curtain on the stage. At the signal, Mr. Garretson thunders America, the Beautiful on the organ, and the sincere voices of two hundred girls join him. Afterwards, there is a noticeable scraping of chairs as they settle back in comfortable, if not graceful, postures. The Scripture lesson is read, followed by a few moments of silence and the Lord's Prayer. After a second hymn, Mr. Garretson is asked to take over for the rest of the period.J Kay and Ellen converse sotto voce- KAY: I can't sing this moming. My voice will crack on the high notes-I just know it will. ELLEN: Same here. But I just love the Pilgrim Song. MR. GAiu1E'rsoN: We'll run through the Pilgrim Song quickly. CEllen, slumped at a fortyffive degree angle, clears her throat experimentally. Kay is in the throes of a coughing spasm. At last they lift hoarse voices with admirable earnestness of purpose. At the end of the first time over, Mr. Garretson, some' what crestfallen, looks reproachfully at his timid song birdsj MR. GAiu1E'rsoN Cpatiently if wearilyj: Girls, was that your best? fAs he is answered by several prompt no's, he brightensj Well, then, let's get going! Put some spirit in it. The response results in a noticeable improvement. But it is not quite good enough. Miss ANC-ELL: Mr. Garretson, I think they don't know that phrase at the top of page six. I MR. GARRETSONZ All right. Girls: top of page six! Sing 'noo' ! C'I'he girls sing noo, but with little, if any, change of expression, either facial or otherwise, Mr. Garretson's expressive maneuvers falling on their dull spirits in vain. They really are not awake yet: ninefthirty of a school day morning is so earlylj But in the end, all is not lost, what with rico, and again, again, again, Not only do they master the phrase at the top of page six, but their spirits respond to the beauty that Ellen just loves in the Pilgrim Song. The final 36 SEMINARIA IQ43 rendering as the chimes ring satisfies, mirabile dictu, both Mr. Garretson and Miss Angell, mirable dictu ! The upper classes file out, not unaware of the glances from the lower forms as they stand at attention waiting to follow ref spectively their betters out of Chapel on the way to the day's workj SCENE IV. CWe find Ellen and Carol in History class. At the head of one of the two long tables sits Miss Abbott. Since this is a typical class, it will be the only one portrayed in this little dramaj Miss ABBOTT Cpatientlyjz Girls, you've wasted five minutes already. Are you ready to come to order now? QThe noise subsidesj ELLEN Cwhispering dramaticallyl: I didn't do my homework! CAROL: Oh, is that something new? ELLEN: Okay, okay. CAt this point, a short bark in the hall heralds the approach of Muff and jackie. They leisurely survey the class, sniff at Carol's feet, and, losing interest, trot out againj Miss ABBOTT: Ellen, trace the development of banking from 1791 through the Civil War. Now think for a minute. ELLEN Cgulpingj: l'will! CShe thinks. There is a dead silence, during which one can hear the combined breathing of fifteen girls.D ELLEN: Well-uh- Miss ABBOTT Cfirmlylz Start again, without the 'well, uh'. ELLEN: Well-oops! I mean-in 1791-in 1791, they organized the First Na' tional bank. Miss ABBOTT: Who did? ELLEN: Uh-Congress. QSuddenly she gives up completely, and begins nervously drawing heads of the Hedy Lamarr species on her English paper. It is best to draw a veil over the remainder of this scene, and leave it to your active imagination, gentle readerj SCENE V. CSkipping the next three periods, we join the students in the lunch room where the lack of manners is as noticeable as the noise. Ellen, Kay, Carol, and jean are sitting together at the Senior table.Q JEAN! Whose turn is it to get the milk? KAY: Yours JEAN! Oh. CShe extricates herself and gets four bottles of milk from a side tablej ELLEN Cconjidentiallyjz Did you notice that Betty Caldwell has Bob Sherwood's pin? SEMINARIA 1943 37 CAROL: I never thought she'd get it. What's the story on that? ELLEN lairilylz Oh, he's a sucker. KAY: I'm through dieting. Pass the potatoes. CAROL: 'LThere aren't any. CA whisper is sent along the line, and a moment later, the senior class bursts into song- Happy birthday, dear Shir-ley, happy birthday to yofoofou! J JEAN: Did you see the watch she got for her birthday? Whew! KAY: Does anybody not want her dessert? ELLEN: Don't be silly. I love melted ice cream. KAY: Well, I just thought I'd ask. ' CAROL: Let's go upstairs. Finished? CWell in advance ofthe others, the four girls leave the lunch room.J SCENE VI. Gt is 3:15, and again we End ourselves in the locker room. The mirror is the most popular place, and the girls apparently have no regard for the law of physics which states that only one body at a time can occupy a single space.J CAROL: Ellen, where are you? ELLEN Cin a muffled voicej: Over here. JEAN: Are we going to I'Iarvey's? KAY: I suppose so. Lend me your lipstick, will you? JEAN: If you'll lend me a dime for a chocolate phosphate. I've only got a car' token. ELLEN: I can't find my other overshoef' CAROL: Is this it? ELLEN: Yes. Hey, Betty, what's our English? BETTY! Read to page 216. ELLEN: I'll never get it done. CShe pushes her way to the door.J Coming, kids? KAY: Where's Jean? JEAN: Just a minute. I've gotta ask Shirley something. CAROL: Let's go. Here's your comb, Kay. ELLENJS VOICE Qfrom Upstairsl: Oh, kids, it's still snowing! QChorus of groansj KAY: Good skiing, anyway. CAROL: You and your sports! C'mon. lAnd so, as four brightly-painted girls burst out into the storm, their arms piled high with books, we leave them to cope further with the strenuous pursuit of Higher Learning-among other thingsj lCurtainJ ' BARBARA Goom-ws, '43 38 SEMINARIA 1943 Acknowledgments The SBMINARIA Board is pleased to announce the following winners of contests: UPPERSCHOOL STORY . .

His plaid tie in heaven caused quite a sensation, As he winked at the angels in subtle flirtation, SEMINARIA 1943 The Senior Sung WE'LL REMEMBER Words by BARBARA WHEELER Music by MABEL BELLIOTTI All our tomorrows we build on memory Of all those yesterdays that we have shared with thee. Of chapel organ, fond reverie, Those new'found friends, familiar faces, all are smiling through. Our candles burning at Christmas gave a gleam That though we leave behind Will light our path, And through the years, we'll remember. Remember springftime, the Senior court abloom. We feel a fondness, we have to leave too soon. Love is unending and can remain, And all the birds that sing their songs all seem to say, Goodfbye to yesterday, our loyalty has grown, And in our hearts we pray, That through the years, we'll remember. Here lies our Miss Morris who vanished one day, When the little white men finally led her away. I know they are morons and not merely crooks Said she, as she checked the two hundred books. SEMINARIA 1943 HIE If-HIET Here lies our headmistress, the queen of them all, She reigned from on high, looking stately and tall. Her pleasures were simple: just We and not They, And a candle to burn all night and all day. The rewards of high heaven she'll surely enjoy, Where she'll still have a finger in girl meeting boy. Here lies our gay Phelpsy in gym suit complete, Who died shouting frantically Marchez plus vite. While teaching us hi jeannef' her knowledge increased, By many a joke that she'll tell the deceased. Say goodbye to the sculptor whose skill knew no bounds She miracles wrought both in flats and in rounds. Now Cupid is here to fire Miss MacKay To fashion new wonders from lumps of wet clay. Now here's Mrs. Sharp, her history completed, She organized facts till her brain she depleted. 'Twas pictures and charts that of us she desired, But her youth and fresh looks were what we required. Resting in splendor within leafy dell Lies gay, unpredictable Mrs. Barrell. Of frisking and singing she's had her full share, But Christmas will End her above Shelton Square. Music hath charms, and so hath its teacher, CPlus talent to deal with all manner of creaturej- Her classes make students feel sure that they're dreaming For music is fun when you have Mrs. Leeming.

' 5 s SEMINARIA 1943 HIC I!-HIET CContinued from Page 635 Thru blue clouds celestial she wanders, now warmg At froids glacesn winds she no longer need storm. Her students below of her culture had need, And deeply regretted her heavenward speed. Now here's Mrs. Wylie, who ascended with ease, When she fell on her head as she fastened her skiis. Her manner was quiet, efficient, and gay, She wore tailored suits as she typed through the day And here's Mrs. Waterman who managed us all From luncheons to games, from blackout to ball. We hope she'll approve of the postures above, And can't you just see her give Peter a shove? Now here is Miss Buchman of talents diverse, Whose thoughts were expressed in sentences terse. The tea that she brews in the faculty room Will keep all the angels from sadness and gloom. Her classes in English were really a wow, St. Peter is reading Twelve Centuries now. Miss Thompson is happy way up in the blue, Afriding a cloud in her favorite hue. Here lies an instructor, both sunny and gay, Who analyzed news for us every Thursday. She lectured on war, labor, battle and strife, Whether German or school, she pepped up our life. Here is Miss Stern laid gently to rest With large Grecian scrolls and an artistic crest. Bon voyage we wish her, arrayed in full state. We know she will stop to examine the gate. SEMINARIA 1943 HIE IAIIET CComtinued from Page 79, Here lies Miss Brock who was steadfast and quiet, Tho' her stories in class were always a riot. She puttered with oxygen, sulphur and fuel, And as we expected, she blew up the school. In heaven Mrs. Collins is helping the angels To solve strange equations and bisect Weird angles. Her patience endures and still is most kind With the troubles of math an angel must find. Here lies Mrs. Hickman whose good will and mirth Were like William's paint: they covered the earth. You had to be prompt and show adequate sense Or be prepared to receive a just consequence. Miss Russell said, tapping on Gabriel's door, I've heard your clear horn, please may I hear more? It's gone through the office, this point I must stress-- I'll organize warfwork, so please answer yes. Here lies our Miss Abbott from Massachusetts Who taught us our History and governments debts. While opening the windows one day in her glee, She froze in her tracks and then ceased to be. 82 SEMINARIA T943 , ,.,,- - 1- 4 2 ggggq Q-gqqgg Q Q :occ I-lthlelil: Bn:-1rd HORNETS JACKETS SALLY JEACOCK CAPTAIN NANCY PERKINS KNOCHE, J.
