CLASS COLORS Yellow and Violet CLASS FLOWER Violet THE' ACADEMIAN Q54 iBirdsfeye fUiew of Gunamlaigua Cflcademy 6 THE ACADEMIAN Here a picture of something that would be rather hard to express in words. Some wise philosopher once said that A picture is worth ten thousand words. For the first time in the history of the Academian we are able to give you a complete view of the Acad- emy in its entirety. It's all there, complete to the unfinished ath- letic field in the background. As we seniors glance across the page, we know that in a few short weeks we shall be leaving the school which has sheltered us for four years. In time to come we shall undoubtedly see and visit it many times . . . but it will not be the same as it has been in the past . . . for once the final curtain of graduation has been rung down we will belong to the group outside the inner circle, who are called the Alumni of Canandaigua Acad- emy. Although we will no longer be active participants in the life of the school it will not mean that we shall forget all that it has meant to us. The good times we have had and the lasting friend- ships we have made. Neither will it mean that our sincere interest in the school as one of the finest of its kind will die out with the passing out of diplomas. To you undergraduates we seniors leave a job to be carried on to the best of your ability. The job of upholding and maintaining the fine traditions which have always existed here in the Academy. If we have perhaps failed in some ways you will be able to profit by our mistakes. As we look toward the future let us strive to build the standards ever higher and keep the fine reputation of good sportsmanship which generations of students have preserved. 7 THE ACADEMIAN PAUL J.

A THE ACADEMIAN Senior Plan for Commencement Week We are now on the last lap of our high-school life, and we are and have the right to be proud of the speaking prowess of our seniors. The girls' speaking contest, sponsored by the P. T. A., demonstrated to us fellows that the girls need take no back seat when it comes to making speeches. The sen- ior girls who participated in this con- test should all be proud of the fine job they did. Elaine Kerskie was selected as the winner of the first prize of twenty dollars and Virginia Abbey was chosen as the winner of the second prize of ten dollars. The other girls wh-o furnished the keen competition were Natalie Ross, Rita Thornhill, Jean Woodside, Betty Bender, Jean VanDeu- sen, Irene Zellin, and Barbara Mason. In the annual Phelps and Gorham speaking contest, Dick White, our trom- bone artist, carried away the twenty- dollar first prize and did a fine job and well deserved his reward. Wm, Kings- ley won second. The other excellent orators who did such an excellent piece of work and who made the choosing of th-e winners so difficult for the judges were George Gilbert, Edward Bradley, Paul Kaveny, and Robert Kennedy. Seniors, we are graduating. We know we are because of the dizzy whirl we are now conscious of. Next June 23, the class of 40's graduation exercises begin with the baccalaureate sermon. The 24th is class night. The 25th and 26th come in quick succession: first, our last and most memorable dance, the recep- tion: next, the alumni banquet, which marks the beginning of our careers as alumni. True, it is a grand and sad experience to graduate, but let's not let the glory and the important feeling subtract from the true meaning of this experience. I hardly need to tell of the condition that this world of ours is in at the present time, for I believe that with our education and with the aid of our excellent faculty, that we realize that the moves we, the youth, make, will be of vital importance to later develop- ments in world affairs. Let's all hold in mind the same fine ideals that have been given to us in this fine institution of learning. -William Kingsley 36 I DEDICATIO T0 THE SE IORS Dedicated to The Seniors At last the Seniors are on the final stretch. Graduation is a matter of just a few weeks now, and we find roaming about the halls, or I should say bust- ling, those lucky ones who will parti- cipate in the closing exercises. It is with a feeling of slight remorse that we P G's have for them, as it brings back memories of our triumphal year. I am sure, however, that the Class of '39 joins with me in congratulating the and happiness through the coming Class of '40 and wishing them success years. May their Commencement week be the best ever. -Betty Pusey, P G Reporter THE ACADEMIAN ll EDITORIAL Graduation . . . that thought long cherished by every senior . . . has at last become a reality. It is the culmination of all our work and fun. When we were freshmen, of the greenest variety, we thought it was the epitome of perfection to be a senior. How- ever, the past year has proved that it means much more than a title. It means really working and using our precious time to the best advantage . . . and then all the dash and excitement of Com- mencement Week. It also means something else. For the first time in our lives we realize that soon we shall be on our own. We shall have to stand on our own feet and make our own decisions. For those of ns who go on to college it means adapting ourselves to strange sur- roundings and making new friends. For those of us who venture into the business world it means making good according to stand- ards set up by leaders in a highly industrialized world. No matter what we do or where we go we realize that it will not be all milk and honey, especially with world conditions in their present chaotic condition. Our generation will need much more than book learning to succeed. We shall need the strength to stand by our ideals and the courage to face failure if the need arises. But, seniors, don't be discouraged, because it really is not as black as it is painted, this cruel world of ours. If we, individually, make practical application of what we have learned, it will take more than a few hard knocks to make us admit that we are licked. We are taking with us many advantages which will help us to for- tify ourselves against discouragement or failure. We are taking with us the fruits of four years hard work and learning. So here's to the Class of 1940. Keep up your ideals, your hopes, and your chins and you're bound to be one of the most successful classes ever to pass through the portals of Canandaigua Academy. 37 THE ACADEMIAN Lost P Strayed? or Stolen Away Hay, 'how about a couple of sheets of paper? Just want two. Hey, wait a second, this is my paper. Where'd you get it? I left it in the Auditorium th-ere three days ago and ,haven't seen it since '. . V The same startled yelp might and has been heard in refer-ence to more than just paper. Books, pencils, rulers, com- passes are daily spirited away as if by magic. What's wrong with us? We're not usually such a bad lot. It must be that we don't see any great wrong in common stealing and there's where the tragedy lies. It's all in the way you look at it. Your own conscience should tell you the difference between RIGHT and WRONG. We are only human, therefore a mis- take now and then is not-hing to get excited about but when a certain girl has her lunch taken three days outof tive we refuse to believe that it is a mistake. This girl is not the only vic- tim of this sort of thing. Gloves, mit- tens, pencil-pouches, rubbers and al- most anyt-hing you could mention have disappeared at some time during the year. This is not the type of editorial that is usually found in the Academian but lately things have been disappearing at such an alarming rate and so many complaints have been raised by the stu- dents that we thought we would appeal to the student body as a whole to see if between us We could not find some ex- planation and solution for this prob- lem. Alumni News Rachel Tanea. of the class of '39, won second place and an award of twenty- nve dollars in an essay contest con- ducted by the Dean W. Greer Co. of Oskosh, Wisconsin. Of sev-eral thou- sand business school students in this country and Canada who submitted es- says, Rachel, who is a student at the Canandaigua School of Business, was awarded second place. Glimpse from a J zmioris Diary May 21, 1940 DEAR DIARY: The seniors are the most awe-inspir- ing, looked-up-to individuals in school around this time of year-the rest of us just fade into the background because these are some of the most important days of a senior's life. They've worked for four years to reach the goal of grad- uation-and after they have labored faithfully for that time they deserve that honor. The juniors had one of their big mo- ments on the night of the Junior Prom -their traditional dance. It was a sur- prisingly snowy night for Easter vaca- ticn, but the Prom was enough of an attraction to make us proud of it. Two outstanding juniors have been selected, Diary, for well--earned honors. Elean-or Searles has been active in the school mostly through music, both the band and chorus. Tony Vecchi has been -prominent in sports, being a mem- ber of both the track team and the baseball team. They are to be our standard bearers for the year 1940-41, a.nd the school joins the juniors in their congratulations. Following some of our class into the rspots world, we see that the baseball, tennis, and track teams are coming out ahead, and many of the class of 1941 help to account for the good record made by these teams. Teh whole school is hustling and bustling, hearing every day some mem- ber of the faculty say Only 20, or 19, or 18, etc., more days of school left! and we know that regents and other finals are almost upon us. So before joining the rush we want to give to the seniors, through you, Diary, our best wsihes and sincerest hopes-and watch for us next year when we're the exalted seniors! -Joan Kellogg Bob Linehan-Sir - er, that is - I would like to-er, that is-I've been go- ing out with your daughter for quite a while. Mr. Coss-Well, what do you want, a pension. Hop Highlights Of Soph Year This is the time to wave good-by to the Seniors and wish them Good- Luck. The faces that we know we will not see next year are our present Post- Grads, but we hope that some ofrour Seniors will like us well enough to spend another year with us. The Sophomores will step up on the next rung of the ladder, the one marked Juniors. We doubtless did lots of things that we shouldn't have done and hope that the on-coming Sophomores will profit by our mistakes. The State Band Cont-est did many things for us. We had a large repre- sentation in all entries, besides all the excitement and glory which were of comparatively short duration. We have one lasting and much enjoyed memento of the contest- A Coke Stand -is it popular? The Sophomore Hop, May 23rd, closed our class activities this year. Hope you all had fun. If you haven't a rabbit's foot, we hope our best wishes will bring you good luck during the coming exams. --Dorothy Hutton French Class Do you parlez-vous francaisn? Well, we try to anyway, 'Cause Mr. Bridgman so beseeches That we learn the stuff he teaches. We sit and wcnd-er what he says. tSuch very queer talk, this langue francalse 7 Once in a while we catch a word, But then to us it's quite absurd. Sometimes you catch a phrase or two But it's gone with the wind when he calls on you, Perhaps we'll learn some French some day Though now it doesn't look that way! -Ann Wolverton Bob Craven-I owe my success to only one thing, pluck, sheer pluck. Bob Hovey-How do you find the right people to pluck. THE ACADEMIAN Freshmen Take Annual Inventory Wit-h a final checkup on our subjects we get ready for exams and regents which brings us to the close of our Freshman year in C. A. The spring sports have also ended for the season. The baseball team played some very excellent games. Some Freshmen played this spring on the team but outstanding with 'Charles Roland, who earned a po- sition cn the Hrst nine. The tennis team also had a good season. The track team, however, fared n-ot so well due to very stiff competition. A few fresh- men were also carried on the track team. As I look back across the school year I see many events that I would surely like to live over. I feel sure that many of you, too, feel the same way. Of course there are many which we would like to forget. Most of us though are looking forward to a swell vacation of fun and so in closing I wish you all that pleasant vacation. - -Bob Pease, Freshman Reporter April's Dawn ' I woke so early and went out, I could not resist. The whole world seemed covered o'er With a blue-gray mist. When earth began to shed her fog As one takes off a coat, Far out on the lake I saw The white sails of a boat. The golden sun slowly rose Over yon purple mount, Waited a moment in repose Th-en spilled his golden fount. I sat upon a hill and watched God's miracle of birth. I saw an April morning born, The gift of spring to earth. Dr. Conyne-So Dick is in college? How is he making it? Mr. Whyte-He isn't. I'm making it and he's spending it. THE ACADEMIAN Marching F eet-- Listen to the rumble of marching feet The iron shod boots are pounding the street, The soldiers pass with uniforms neat. Listen to the rumble of marching feet! Youth swing by with a boisterous song, Fair hearts beat as they march along, Little they dream of the war they'll meet. Listen to the rumble of marching feet! It's only a game, pal, 'C'est la guerre. The bugle's signal fills the air, And all day long the village street Resounds with the rumble of marching feet. Hurry up, nowg there's a war aheadg They haven't seen the writhling dead. They have only heard of the glory sweet. Listen to the rumble of marching feet! A column of wounded, stumbling back Shake the youths, on their straggling track. Just unlucky say strong to the meek, And on goes the rumble of marching feet The front line trenches! At last we're here. The roaring shells fill all with fearg And still behind them with regular beat, Comes the rumble of marching feet. Thousand by thousand and one by one, They die like files beneath the sun. And drums roll out a relentless beatg Listen to the rumble of marching feet. fI'hey saw him die this name was Rolfel. God, he's lucky his head's blown off. And uniformed youths so strong and fleet, Continue the rumble of marching feet. The hospitals small with overworked craw, Lose more men than they pull through. And still the cannon's foolish meat Comes on with the rumble of marching feet. The gate of Hell re-echoes the tread Of the miles and miles of marching dead: And the war lords fat and indiscreet Demand the rumble of marching feet. Oh, Lord in Heaven, hear our prayer, The youths in the trenches of Thee despair: Can'st Thou not from Thy Heavenly seat, Halt this rumble of marching feet? -James Green The Lake Soft, tender, streamless breeze Marching o'er the valeg I see you as you hustle, Sweeping down the dale. Oh lake, with beauty filled In dreams you gently soar. You brush against unyielding shore Like stories in old lore. The breeze your features rimples , As it passes by, And lifts the low-born waves- It often makes me sigh. And now the waves that crash Against the boatman's boat, You shudder at his smile - see: He shudders in his coat. The sun upon the waves Sending into the air Deep green-jade into my -eyes: Breeze - uplifts my hair. As I see the tender hues, Now glinting in my eye I wonder of the colors gone As I sit here and sigh. -Pasquale J. Vitalone . . . Newest twosome, M. J. G. and Gene Brady . . . On one session days Bob Butler goes without his dinner just so he can walk home with Marge Van V. Just goes to show what a dire effect love can have on some people . . . Could it be romance for M. J. Dietz and Dick Thompson who can be seen walk- ing around the hall any night that Miss Burgess doesn't see them first . . . Wanted: One male, 16 or 17, must have good character and good looks if possible. Apply, Helen Wilhelm, Upper Studyhall . . . The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, as Mr. Gambell would say. This time it's Shortsville that interests Jimmy McCarthy. Most congenial couple, Marcia Pierce and John May . . . We hear that Martha Dwyer is leaving us soon. The Junior class will have to lo-ek for a new silver lining ' 40 THE ACADEMIAN H ASSEMBLY SURVEY Each and every one of you has seen our assemblies and probably enjoyed them very much. But did you -ever stop to realize the reaction that these pro- grams cause within the entire student body? For your information your re- porter went hunting with these three questions and shot many answers. First, what assembly did you Iind most in- teresting this year?

Miss Burgess-You should always be particular about details. It's the little things that tell. Jean VanDeusen--I know that. I have two small sisters. THE' ACADEMIAN Sport eason Comes to Successful Close At the time that this report goes to press, it looks as though our baseball team is due for another championship cup. Out of the two remaining games to be played, they have to win only one to cinch the league. The remaining games are with Seneca Falls and Ge- neva, both of which have already fallen before the mighty bats of the Cherry and Gray team. As for the past two years, Joe Musso- lino is doing more than his share to- ward bringing Canandaigua the cup. In five games heihas struck out 57 men. This is no small record in any man's league. One very seldom hears of a high school pitcher with such a record. Out of six games, he has pitched three shutouts which is another piece of work that he can be justly proud of. 'Canandaigua started out the season against Penn Yan, who they downed 9-0. The next foe on the schedule was Seneca Falls. We had all heard a great deal about the strength of the Mynderse team. Canandaigua won this game 10-0. all -of which proves that the Acad- emy team is no weak one. Waterloo was the next team to face the local moundsm-en. Canandaigua emerged the winner in this battle, 5-4. The game with our traditional rivals, Ge- neva, didn't turn out to be very excit- ing. Geneva donned the can of defeat, giving up six runs to Canandaigua while they were only able to bring in two. Starting in on our second round of the league, We again faced Waterloo and again took the game, 5-0. Back to the beginning of the schedule. Penn Yan tasted defeat again as Canandaigua came home with a two-run margin, the score being 6-4. This is as far as our baseball season has gone thus far and these men along with their coach, Frank Baker, have set up a swell record that is going to be hard to beat. Turning now to another athletic squad, we take up the tennis team. So far this team has played five games and has three more to go. The teams re- maining to be played are Manchester, Shortsville and Penn Yan. These games will be played at a future date after this column has gone to press. The teams that they have met thus far are Geneva at Canandaigua with Canan- daigua coming out the winner, 4-1. Shortsville at Canandaigua was the next which the local team also Won 3-2. The Hrst team to defeat the Cherry and Gray squad was Penn Yan, who won the game, 4-1. Coming back into the winning light, Canandaigua took over Gen-eva to the tune of 4-1. The only other loss suffered so far was taken from the hands of the Manchester team, the score being 3-2. Now to the last department to be taken up-the track team coached by Mr. Linderman. These boys started out the season in a 'triangle meet. The teams that took part in this meet were from Penn Yan, Palmyra and Canan- daigua. Penn Yan took first honors with Canandaigua a close second and Palmyra third. Canandaigua came out fourth in a four team meet at Brighton. Brighton came in first, then IjIi1t0I1, Webster and Canandaigua. Their last meet they also lost. They ran against Geneva with the latter coming out the winner. They have yet to run in the sectionals and against Clyde. This about winds up our sports pro- gram for the year. All in all as far as athletics go it hasn't been a very bad year. Our soccer team reached the sec- tionals, our basketball team ended its season in a tie for first place and now our spring teams are heading down the victory trail to the sectionals. I would like to wish them all the best of luck now and always. -Bob Kennedy Jim Finnick-Come right in. Don't mind the dog. Jim Fox-Doesn't he bite? Jim Finnick-That is just what I want to find out. We bought him this morning. Rod Pierce-Miss, there's something hanging from your hair. Jean Dibble-I beg your pardon, that's my hat. THE ACADEMIAN State Music Finals Highlight for 1940 Since the last issue of the Acade- mian, a great deal has happened to C. A.'s musicians. They have weathered their contests and come through with the traditional flying colors. The first contest was the Sectional Competition Festival held at Waterloo High School on April 5th and 6th. There were about 18 entries from Can- andaigua at Waterloo and most of them received recommendations for the final. On April 25th, 26th and 27th Canan- daigua had the privilege of being host to the Western N. Y. State finals. This was the largest state contest ever to be held ln New York State with about 6,500 musicians participating. The re- markable success of the event was due chiefly to the efficient planning and the untlrlng work of Ray Russell, the local chairman, and the scores of people who so willingly co-operated and helped him. Representing Canandaigua in the State Finals were sixteen different solo- ists, ensembles and organizations, all of whom received very commendable rat- ings and several of which were recom- mended for the National at Albany. The third contest spoken of was held in Albany, May 17th and 18th. Some of our ensembles and soloists competed and they all upheld the tradition of flne music which has been known for so long in Canandaigua Academy. And now, it is with a feeling of great joy and of deep regret that we turn the last pages of the Musical Book of 1939-40. A feeling of joy in remember- ing the splendid times we have had to- gether on our numerous contests, trips and other activities connected with mu- sic. For those of us who are seniors and will not be back next year, it is in- deed a feeling of regret that our musical career in C. A. is at its end, and that all the good times and experiences are but memories. However, I think that we will all agree that, through music, we have gained an appreciation of life that we could never have gotten any other way, and so here's to the Band, Orchestra and Chorus of 1940-41, all of whom we hope will attain ever greater glory than ever before. -Don Case Word Pictures of Our Seniors Clara Barnhart-Happy is she who possesses many friends. Bruce Benedict-A man of few words. D. Case-A lemon coke, please. K. Clark-My pen ls my fortune. Cotton-Lovely to look at. Dryer-And the world was filled with music.

THE ACADEMIAN l Original Short Story Flowers for Madam In Dedication to Males-who boast that they understand the in- genious mechanism of the Feminine Mind. Johnny always gives me a corsage when he takes me to a dance. He's asked me to the Senior Prom tonight and I said I'd go. I suppose it all seems very simple to you, doesn't it? He asks me, I accept. He gives me a corsage, I wear it. We go. He has a good time, I have a good time. He brings me home, we say Good Night, so to bed. That isn't the case though. Up to the part where he sends me the cor- sage everything is O. K. It's the cor- sage that bothers me. You see, Johnny always gives me gar- denias and I don't like gardenias. No, I don't. Sure they're pretty, but they smell like a funeral. After dancing a whole evening with three or four pinned on my shoulder I get a sinking feeling in my stomach and I hear a roaring in my head. Honestly, the truth is, I fainted at my first Prom, right in front of a well- known Orchestra Leader when that awful sickish fragrance just over-pow- ered me. Of course I didn't mind the attention I got from the boys that night. Most of them seemed to be Boy Scouts at heart, you know Always Pre- pared even when a. girl faints on short notice.

I- rather thought of dropping a Well disguised hint to let him know that I wanted violets instead. How do you think it would be if I told him I was making a study of violets and needed some specimens? He usually catches on quickly and maybe if he's in a d-oting mood he'll understand this hint . . . I think I'll try it anyway. Oh dear, I just thought of something dreadful. Since I've settled it, that he is to bring me violets, I can't wear my Blue Evening Dress, the purple violets just Wouldn't go with my Blue Dress. Well, I just won't have gardenias and since violets are my favorite flower, I'll just have to ask Dad for some money so I can buy a new dress-something to match the flowers. Let me see, what color shall it be? It has to be something that will bring out the bluish purple of the flowers. White? That won't be bad-but . . . I've got it . . . pink-that's the very thing. Can't you see me, a vision in a pale pink organdy with yards and yards of billowing skirt, and there on my shoulder a huge cluster of deep, dewy purple violets? Wouldn't it be just too perfect? Golly, that was easy. Dad didn't say a word, just gave me the money and said Be sure to buy something nice. Mother and I will go downtown after school and buy the dress.

Progress, variable, desultory progress. Progress retarded by the agressions of an oligarchism advanced through the importation of Utopian ideals. Prog- ress, recorded upon th emilestones of republics. Within the system of this institution of education, these milestones have been 'passed annually. known to those acquainted with the functi-ons of Can- andaigua Academy, as the Phelps dz Gorham Speaking Contest. At no other time during its magnid- cent existence of 130 years, have the democratic liberties of this nation. vis- ioned and wrought into the reality of our forefathers, been so seriously threatened. But for what worthy pur- pose did these men, interested solely in the welfare and stable economic devel- opment of a growing democratic repub- lic, have in instituting into this Acad- emy a prize fund suitable for fostering into our curriculum an activity worthy of confirming the democratic ideals of its creators. 'Perhaps it was to test the eloquence of those students wishing to become public orators, but upon peering far- ther into the moral standards most outstanding involved in the personali- ties of Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham, I discover beyond all shadow of doubt that it was for the supreme purpose of vesting in the minds of the students participating, an incentive to gain a more wholesome and enriched understanding of the necessities for maintaining the idealistic summits es- tablished through the Transcendent Excellence of a Genuine Representative 'Republican Form of Government Effec- tually Securing Equal Liberties Founded on the Rights of Man. Before endeav- oring to understand the problems threatening our American ideals, it is first necessary to become acquainted with the true dennition of a democratic republican regime. If asked to define Democracy, most people would say it was a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Yet before it is 'possible to comprehend the true meaning of this definition, there are several fundamental essential factors which must be considered. A State is a body of free persons as- sociated together for the common bene- fit. It has three essential elements- first, a community of people socially united: second. a political machine or government administered by a body of officials, and last, a Constitution either written or unwritten, under which a government operates. Our government is composed of forty- eight smaller factions or states union- ized under one supreme head. each fac- tion securing equal liberties through representation in the three depart- ments. These departments were estab- lished by the 'Constitution in such a manner that each might maintain a check or balance upon the other two. However, in spite of all perfection and suggedness vividly characterized in the structure of our government, political, social and economic oo-operation is absolutely essential to the progress of a democracy. Communism, Nazism, Fascism and several other isms offer an immediate obstacle to the future of the republics. But it is not the tangible, brutal c-omponent of force that ob- structs the stability of our future: rather it is th-e invisible element, name- ly. the lack of co-operation and inter- est of the individual citizen. If this condition is allowed to become too prev- alent we will gradually slip into a leth- argy in which Mr. Average Citizen will be unconscious of political operations and will allow himself to be easily led astray by propaganda and false incrimi- nation that the road of progress directly ahead of our democracy will be blocked by an obstacle iplaced there by the bel- ligerent foreign powers. It is not for- eign wars nor political propaganda that will bring about the defeat of our dem- ocracy, rather it is the lack of the ac- tive, exuberant and unprejudiced inter- est an-d co-operation of the individual citizen. -Richard W. White First Prize-P. T. A. Prize Speaking Contest In the large room of an old home- stead in Virginia, an old lady sat slowly rocking back and forth. Sh-e was waiting for her grandson for he had promised to com-e to see her. Suddenly, the door opened and her grandson walked in. He was tall and strong and the old lady watched him with pride in her eyes. Come in, my son, she said. Take the low stool by my feet. Her grand- so nobeyed her order smilingly. Now I have something to give you. I hold it in my hand here. Tell me, what do you see? Why, nothing, grandmother, her grandson replied, There's nothing in your hand. I thought that would be your an- swer, the old lady smiled wisely. 'But now, let me tell you a story, and then I think you will change your mind. Listen carefully. About three hundred years ago to- day, a young man landed at Jamestown, Virginia. He was among a group of people who intended to make their homes in the new world. As he walked along the dock he caused quite a flutter among a group of women who were talking there, and also the men cast envious glances in his direction. And now let us look ahead in our story a hundred years or so. We lind the great-grandson of this same young man. He is young, only about ten years of age, but as he grows older he begins to see the bitter hate between the American Colonies and Great Britain. And now we find him outside the town bulletin board. He is reading a Proc- lamation just pasted there. The crowd is wild with approval of what they have just read there. Listen, here are parts of it: 'We hold these truths to be self- evident: that all men are cr-eated equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unallenable rlghtsg that among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to se- cure these rlghts, Governments are in- stituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the gov- erned. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.' THE ACADEMIAN Then came a long list of grievances against the King. But th-e young man dldllb need to read those, he and every- one else knew what they were. His eyes travelled onward-'Thse United Colon- ies are and of right ought to be, free and independent states,' and finally to the end, 'And for the support of 'th.s Declaration, with a firm reliance upon the protection of Dipine Propidence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lipes, our fortun-es and our sacred honor! The young man fought in the war -between the American Colonies and Great Britain, and when the war was over, he returned to his home, and he gathered his children about -him and he said to them: 'My children, your father has fought in a great war. He has fought with hundreds of other men for the same things-freedom, the right to live and be happy, and while you have life in you, I want you to remember that you are an American, that it was a long and bitter struggle but We won in the end. And now, each of you must promise to uphold America in anything she does,' and they all solemnly prom- ised. And that, my son, continued the old grandmother, is what you must prom- lse to me. Now do you see what I hold in my hana? No, you can't see it, you can't feel it either. But you can hear it. The mountains anh the valleys re- sound with it. It's a strain, an Amer- ican strain surging against yocr ears until you can't shut it out. And, it's the same thing that makes you stand up straight and take your hat off when you see your flag pass by and hear the strains of your National Anthem. Yes, my son, there are those who do not stand up straight and bok reverent heads to their Country's Flag. Pay no attention to them, my son, they are false, the unbelievers. Heed them not. And that is what I'm giving to you, America, your country gained for you by your grandfathers. And now will you promise me? The young man sprang to his feet. Yes, grandmother, I will promise you. I will promise you that I will uphold America in anything she does. That I will keep up the old traditions, those which make America the wonderful country she is, and that as long as I live, I shall be glad that I am an Amer- ican and that I live in this, my coun- try, America. -Elaine Kerskie THE ACADEMIAN Rebirth Perched on the window sill of my room, the same dainty robin red-breast chirps out his annual Spring Song. Across the street the same gnarled cherry tree- bursts into startling pink bloomg and in the corner field, the tra- ditional shout of Home Run breaks into my reverie. Everything is the same, isn't it? The familiar sights, sounds, and smells which have heralded the spring since time began-on the same street, in this very room. It is the same. And y-et, there is a feeling that all has ended-these joyous days, those free days. Yes, free from worry! Ever since that early September day in 1929 when I started school as a lively six-year-old, until now, I had spent my summers in absolute ecstasy, knowing that when fall came, I would once more go back where I left off. But this year, it will be different-it will be the end-I feel lost. Gloomily, I glance down at my desk, where lies open a small Websteris Inter- national-to the c's, commanding, com- measure, commence-why, that's what I am going to do in a few weeks. After it, stands the definition, to begin, to start out, that odd. I had always thought of commencement as the serv- ioes held in June, which would end my school-life-an ending, rather than be- ginning. But here it is-right in Webster's In- ternational Dictionary, which can cer- tainly be called dependable - com- mencement, the beginning, origination. Of What? What am I going to do in the fall? Go to college, if possible. Leave home and all its connections to enter strange buildings, far from h-ome, making new friends as I go. Is that a beginning? Is that a New Life ? It could be, I thought, beginning to see daylight. I wouldn't want to stay in high- school all my life, would I? Feeling safe, taken care of, and out of things, would surely get boring after awhile. One would get an urge to get out and do things, an urge to get into the rush and tear with the rest of the world, an urge to make one's own way and not to be taken care of-ever again! Suddenly, I realized what college and going away would mean to me. I would have to fight for my peace in a new world, fight for friends, too, and for re- spect. It would mean being in a strange place and perhaps many a wet pillow after a lonely, home-sick night. But it would also mean entering upon new seas, worlds to conquer, and most of all it would mean commencement. Perched on the window sill of my room the insistent robin red-breast chirps away, across the street the pink blooms on the gnarled cherry tree seem lovelier than ever! And on the corner block I heard my brother shout 'Noth- er home-run. But this time it all seems different-ther-e is a new element in it. I feel as though I have discov- ered something new and wond-erful. I am just beginning to live! -Gwenn I.

I-Iere's your chance, girls Louis Pasteur In a small village of France on Dec. 27, 1822, Louis Pasteur was born. His childhood was not in the least out of the ordinary. He was merely a careful, plodding boy in whom no one took any particular interest. One day, as part of a crowd that had formed outside of an old blacksrnith's shop, he heard the fateful sizzle of a white hot iron on human flesh, and the agonizing groan that followed it. The groan had been emitted by the farm-er Nicole. He had been terribly mangled by a mad wolf. Nine-year-old Louis ran from the crowd, d-own the street, to his home. Long after the incident, the sound of that iron and that tortured groan remained in his memory. We cannot truthfully say whether this in- cident had anything to do with his later discovering the cure for rabies, but we do know that whenihe started to find th-e cure, the haunting cries of those victims were still in his brain . . . Many years had passed and Pasteur was now a man, impatient, immodest, and impractical, but for all that a genius. He had already discovered many important things. His patient and loving wif-e, without doing or saying much, was indirectly responsible for these finds. She loved him, as some- one put it, Even to the point of under- standing his work. Pasteur was then working on the ori- gin of microbes. Scientists for many years had asked this question, and he was determined to find the answer. He began on an experiment to find out whether yeast plants came from the air. However, when boiling some yeast soup he realized he was also heating the air, thus changing it. But how to heat the yeast soup without doing likewise to the air was the question. Finally, an old drugglst named Balard helped him out. Why not, he suggested, have a flask the air could get in, but the mi- crobes which stuck to the dust particles could not. Marvelous, exclaimed Pasteur, real- izing at once the ingeniousness of the idea. Balard left, and Pasteur pro- ceeded on with the experiment. In a half hour's time, Balard returned. There was Pasteur, pleased as Punch. eyes shining-the experim-ent had worked! Quite a few years later, after many successes, Pasteur, still terribly ener- THE ACADEMIAN getic, was working on an experiment to cure animals of a dread disease called anthrax. He knew that if he could give them a little of the disease, but not enough to make them ill, they would forever be immune. After many ex- periments on cows and chickens, he found that letting the microbes age, dulled their intensity, therefore, inject- ing a small amount of the old microbes did exactly the job he wanted. It was hard to prove this to an unbe- lieving world, so, when asked, Pasteur readily agreed to stage a public demon- stration. Forty-eight sheep, two goats, and several cattle were injected with the poisonous vaccine. Although Pas- teur had felt quite sure of himself be- fore the experiment, after having done that rather terrifying thing, he became increasingly nervous. But when two o'clock came the next day, and he and his assistants went down to the field, the experiment had worked out per- fectly. Needless to say, many who had hitherto ridiculed him, profusely apolo- glzed. Shortly after this, Pasteur began working on a cure for rabies. He thought of injecting a serum into the dog's brain, but decided it would be too painful. Roux, his faithful helper, knew better, and, against his master's wishes, did inject a serum into the dog's brain. As he expected, t-he dog died in a few weeks, but even Pasteur admitted he had lived long enough to serve his pur- pose. He then set about a plan to dull the serum, and, after long experiments, he found that placing part of the spine of a rabbit, dead from rabies in a germ- proof container for fourteen days, did the trick. Pasteur had now found the cure for rabies. He hesitated to start innoculat- ing on humans because, indirectly, he might cause the death of someone. As he said in a letter to a friend: I am much inclined to begin on myself-in- noculating myself with rabies and then arresting the consequences . . . He finally 'began on humans when a young child, gashed in fourteen places, was brought into his laboratory. He soon realized the boy would die anyway, so no chance would be taken. The serum proved successful and the child lived. Louis Pasteur is acclaimed through- out the world as one of the greatest scientists that ever lived. He was never a modest man, but we can EASILY forgive him that when he could make such discoveries as he did. -Carol Ostrow THE ACADEMIAN Student I nterrviews We decided that it was time for an- other survey on some of the important questions facing every thoughtful thinker of today.
