OAjl Q u i wA iFnr tljp Unk iEttUing RETCHING—that was the assignment. And I wouldn’t know a sketch if I met it strolling down the avenue. My ignorance was appalling. What could I do? I decided there was only one thing to do—start out bravely, work boldly, and hope for a quick dose of sketching knowledge. It was Saturday afternoon that I took the fatal plunge. Accordingly, I set off with my supplies — sketch book, eraser, ruler, triangle, scrap paper, finder, six pencils, and some old newspapers to sit on. I intended to be well- prepared! Oh yes, I also had a knife in case I broke any of my pencils. As I strode over the hills I searched for a suitable scene.There it was!—simple and terribly prosaic I will admit—but I felt it was equal to my sketching powers. I quickly spread my newspapers and sat in the most uncomfortable posi¬ tion. The ground was hard, and there were ants slithering about in search of just such a poor victim as I. As soon as they saw me they charged as fear¬ lessly as any British soldier. No matter! Whatever privations I had to endure I was going to sit (and probably scratch) them out. And now the sketch! I gingerly lined in the hills. There was a house over there which sprouted innumerable gables. That was left out. A wind whisked away my scrap paper and I had to stop and sprint after it. Those trees might as well be blotted out, too. I don’t know how to make that fluffy kind. Shucks! now I’ve taken out too much. And so on for almost an hour. By then I thought I had my finished product. I picked up my belongings (having used fully half of them), and strolled homeward. Ants, wind, dust, and flying papers—I had taken them all in my stride. But what surprised me most was that I had thoroughly enjoyed myself. It had been fun sitting out there on a hilltop trying to put a bit of Nature’s glory on paper. Before I had reached home, I had decided to recapture some of that pleasure the next weekend. RUTH GODWIN, Class C. Page sixteen
