ON NOTHING SPECIAL WHEN Vou BIT Down TO WRITE SDMETHIND, WHEN You DON'T HAVE ANYTHING T0 wRITe, IT'S VERY LIKELY You WON'T sUcceED IN PRODUCING Anv SUPERIOR WORK or LITERARY ART: I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC TITLE AT THE ToP OF MV PA- PER T0 INsPIRE ME T0 ELABORATE ON SOME veRv INTERESTING SUBJECT. So l'M JUST GOING T0 PUT Down A Few or MV THOUGHTS AS THEV COME TO Me. IT's wHAT one MIGHT CALL A 'WILD AND WO0LVn NIGHT OUTSIDE. THE WIND IS WHISTLINO MoURNFuLLv AROUND THE CORNERS OF THE HOUSE, WITHIN THE WARMTH OF WHICH I sIT ALL ALONE ev THE FIRE, STRUGGLING WITH Mv GEOMETRY LESSON. IT IS VERY STILL IN THE LIVING ROOM: WITH THE EXCEPTION or THE Busv LITTLE TICK OF THE KIT- CHEN CLOCK THERE IS NO SOUND.ALL IS WELL HERE wHeRE I AM. IN OTHER PARTS or THE TOWN PEOPLE SIT ev HAPPY, CONTENTED, RADIO, OTHERS TROU- A Loveo ONE, OTHERS MISFORTUNEQ SLEEPING, VET IT IS THEIR HEARTHSIDES---SOME READING, LISTENING T0 THE BLED oven THE ILLNEss or STRICKEN WITH POVERTY AND FAR AWAY PEOPLE ARE oNLv TEMPoRARv REST BECAUSE THEV ARE CONSTANT- LV HAUNTED BY THE SHADOW or FEAR---FEAR THAT THEIR LOVED ONES WILL BE KILLED, FEAR THAT THEY MAY LOSE THEIR HOMES AND LIVES IN WAR- FARE AND RuTHLEss AIR DWELL IN A WORLD or HAPPINESS FROM THEM. KNOWING WHETHER THEY THE DAWN. FARTHER AWAY, ON WORLD, DAV IS JUST BREAKING AND PEOPLE ARE REGIHNIMG TO START oUT ron ANOTHER DAY'S AD- VENTURE. THE CHINESE MOTHER, THE JAPANESE SOLDIER WHO seexs TO WREST FROM ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER THE VERY LAND ON WHICH THAT CHINESE MOTHER LIVES, THE NOMAD ON SlBERIA'S WASTES, RAIDs. FoR THESE PEOPLE wAR THAT STEALS THEIR Now THEY SLEEP, LITTLE WILL wAKE SAFELY WITH THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 's. V VIEWS FROM THE CHOIR LOFT IF A PERSON KNEW NOTHING or RELIGION on HAD NEVER ATTENDED A CHURCH SERVICE Berone, How VERY STRANGE IT WOULD BE T0 HlM-E8PEClAL- LV FROM AN ADVANTAGEDUS POINT IN THE CHOIR LOFTH I THINK THE VERY FIRST THING THAT wouLD STRIKE THE NEWCOMER, AFTER VIEWING THE ACTUAL BUILDING, OF counse, WOULD BE THE venv Queen ASSORTMENT OF PEOPLE AT CHURCH. THERE ARE SEVERAL MEN OF coURsE, DEGENERATING FROM THE FIRST STIFLED VAWN INTO vARIous STAOES or SLUMBER. -THERE ARE THE WOMEN WHO SIT LOOKING veRv STERN AND RIGHTEOUS THRouGHouT THE sen- VICE, THE WOMAN wHo IS T0 LOOK INTERESTED WHEN THERE ARE THE WOMEN WHO ED IN THE SERVICE, AND FEW MEN AND WOMEN WHO HYMNS. THEN THERE ARE T A BIT DEAF AND TRIes SHE CAN'T HEAR A wonu LooK REALLY INTEREST- THERE ARE A PRECIOUS JOIN LUSTILV IN THE HE FASHION PLATES WHO COME, OIVIOUSLV, TO WEAR THEIR BEST CLOTHES AND DISPLAV THE NEWEST SHADE OF LIPSTICK. THESE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE NOTHING T0 THE SERV- ICE AND vIcE-vEnsA. THEY WOULDN'T HEAR Goo SPEAKING TO THEM IF HE wene USING A MeGAPHoNE AND I DON'T BELIEVE Goo HAS MUCH T0 SAV T0 THESE PEOPLE ANVWAV. THERE Is,ALwAvs,A SPRIN- KLING OF SMALL CHILDREN FOR A RADIUS OF ABOUT T WHO FURNISH AMUSEMENT HREE SEATS AHEAD AND BEHIND.AND THEN THERE ARE THE HIGH SCHOOL AGE KIDSINEED MORE BE SAIDT THE GIRLS ARE WONDER- ING IF THE BOY FRIEND IS TAKING IN THE NEW ARE ALL SETTING FORTH TO MUCH IS HAPPENING AT Jov AND OF soRRow,oF INPo ICANCE. BUT ALL IS WELL THE FIRE CRACKLES, TICKS AWAY THE FLEETING H DISCONSOLATELV THROUGH T THE TREES OUTSIDE. I Mus ETRV. --- 0 - LIFE LIFE IS vERv STRANGE EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE we NEVER THINK OR LOOK SAME TWO DAYS IN A Row. FIED WHEN I REALIZE HOW THE DAYS ARE FLYING PAST GREET THE new DAV. THIS TIME---MUCH OF RTANCE AND INsIGNIF- HERE. THE KITCHEN CLOCK oURs, THE WIND MOANS HE BARE BRANCHES OF T RETURN T0 MV GEOM- ELEANOR JENNINGS . IT NEVER REPEATS. I8 ALL IMPORTANT IN ANOTHER JUST LIKE IT OR FEEL EXACTLY THE I FEEL ALMOST TERRI- HEEDLESS PEOPLE ARB -PREVIOUS DAYS THAT cAn NEVER BE RE-LIVED. BUT ALWAYS we LooK AHEAD. We PLAN FOR DAYS IN ADVANCE AND EVEN DATE oun PAPERS A oAv AHEAD IN ouR scHooL woRK. WHAT we DON'T sEEM T0 REALIIE IS THAT lgggl IS IMPORTANT. On one DAY, THE NEXT DAY LOOKS AwFuLLY IMPORTANT. WHEN THE NEXT DAY COMES, IT ISN'T IMPORTANT. WE'RE LOOKING ON AHEAD FROM THERE. WHY DON'T we LooK AROUND Us Ano see How IMPORTANT IQDAV IS WHILE WE'RE LIVING ITT WNV DON'T we APPRECIATE EACH PHASE or LIFE AS we LIVE IT INSTEAD OF LOOKING BACK ON IT AND SIGHINGT EVERY NEW DAV IS A PRIVI- LEGE.IT'S FRESH. NEVER BEFORE HAS THERE seen A DECEMBER I4 on I5 on I6, I939. NEVER AGAIN WILL THERE BE sucH A DAY. lT's BRAND NEW AND we CAN MAKE or IT WHAT we WILL. COME on, PeoPLe. WAKE UP AND LIVE! PHVLLIS RICHARDS HAT, on WONDERING wHV THE FRIEND ISN'T TAKING IN THE SERVICE AT ALL ON THAT PARTICULAR SUN- DAY, MAYBE HE'S SICK, PooR DEAR. BUT MoRe LIKELV,HE IS READING THE FUNNV PAPERS. THE aovs ARE ALWAYS IN THE BACK SEAT CARRYING ON IMPORTANT BUSINESS OF THEIR own. WHAT A Queen ASSORTMENT OF PEoPLE,ALL DIFFERENT AGES,SIZES SHAPES, BRAIN CAPACITY. No WHERE ELSE wouLD vou FIND sUcH A GROUP. THE SERVICE WOULD SEEM QUEER,TOO. JUST AS THE NEWCOMER HAS DECIDED IT WAS JUST AN ORGAN RECITAL AFTER ALL, THE MINISTER STANDS UP AND SAYS A FEW WORDSQTHEN HE ANNOUNCES A SONG AND EVERYONE SINGS. WELL THATS ALL RIGHT so FAR. THEN THE MINISTER RAIses HIS HANDS AND EVERY- one sHuTs THEIR EYES. THE MINISTER IS APPAR- ENTLY TALKING TO soME-one BUT wHo IS THE QUESTION.HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AoDnessING ANY MEMBER OF THE coNGREGATIoN AND THERE'S N0 one ELSE TO TALK TO. THE PERSON PASSES IT OFF AS A LITTLE STRANGE.THEN THE MINISTER READS FROM A GREAT BIG BooK on THE ALTAR. IT REALLV DOES souno PRETTV SILLV--THOU, THOU'RT, THOU WILT, SHALT, ETc. THE Penson IS JUST BEGINNING T0 THINK IT'S A PRETTV DUMB cnowo, WHEN THEY START PASSING coLLecTIoN PLATES. HE DEcIDEs MAYBE THEV AREN'T so DUMB AS THEY LOOK. THEN THE MINISTER TALKS A LONG TIME AND THE PEOPLE SIT AND LISTEN, WHISPER, SLEEP,AND DO vARIoUs OTHER THlNGS.wHEN THE MINISTER IS THROUGH, HE AGAIN RAISES HIS HAND,SORT OF LIKE AN oncHes- TRA LEADER, AND EVERYONE SHUTS THEIR EYES. He TALKS A MINUTE,TO WHOM, ITIS HARD T0 SAV.THEN THE CHOIR SINGS A woRD TWO OR THREE TIMES--A VERY FUNNY WORD. OF counse, YOU'D EXPECT IT FRDM THE WOMEN BUT THEY REALLY SHOULDNIT SING JUST PLAIN AH, MEN! OVER AND OVER. WELL THE PERSON OVERLOOKS THAT, Too. THEN THE ORGANIST CONTINUES HIS INTERRUPTED RecITAL AND EVERY- one GeTs UP AND WALKS ouT ON HER.THOSE PEOPLE MusT KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING BUT IT LOOKS PRETTV Queen! PHYLLIS RICHARDS .,. ' 23

i PENSEES LOOKING FORWARD IT SOMETIMES SEENS A BDTHER T0 KEEP POSTED ON WORLD AFFAIRS WHEN THEY SEEN So REMOTE FROM OUR INTEREST. BUT ARE THEY? ARE WE AS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS so FAR FRDN ADULTHOOD THAT WE CAN DHILDISHLY SHUT OUR EYES T0 REALITY, LIVING IDLY FROM DAY T0 DAY, BELIEVING ALL THAT MATTERS IS OUR HAVING A GoDD TINET IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE RESPONSIBIL- ITIES AND PROBLEMS THAT ARE OUR PARENTS' TO- DAY WILL CHALLENGE Us. WE MUST REALIZE NOW THAT IT IS TIME T0 PREPARE OURSELVES FDR OUR APPRDADHING DUTY. THE AGE WE LIVE IN IS DARK. WE IN HIGH SCHOOL MUST BEGIN TO COMBAT THE EVIL FDRDES OF HATRED, FEAR, GREED, AND IGNDRANDE wHIcH HAVE wREcKED THE HAPPINESS AND wELL-BEING or THE PRESENT WORLD, BY SEE- ING THAT WE DURSELVES ARE INNOCENT OF THESE DETRINENTAL QUALITIES IN OUR DAILY LIVES. BY BEING TOLERANT, INTELLIGENT, coURAGEous CITIZENS w: WILL BUILD UP A STRONG BULHARK AGAINST ALL AGGRESSIVE FORCES. E. JENNINGS --- 0 --- NEVER SAY DIE! MY BROTHER PREFERS TO SLEEP ALONE AND WAS VERY ANNDYED RECENTLY WHEN HE DISDDVERED A SMALL MOUSE SHARING HIS BED. THE MOUSE DLAINED THERE wAs ROOM FOR BOTH OF THEN TO REST IN COMFORT BUT CLIFTON HAD A DIFFERENT IDEA. BEING VERY TIRED, HE TOOK NO ACTION UNTIL THE Nous: PLAYFULLV KISSED HIN. THAT wAs TOO NUDH, AND CLIFTON SPRANG OUT OF BED WITH AN AWFUL PURPOSE IN HIS EVE. THE MOUSE PROMPTLY APPROPRIATED ONE OF THE BEDPDSTS FOR A SORT OF LDDKDUT STATION AND LANDNARK IN CASE OF BATTLE, AND EYED CLIFTON COOLLY WITH ONE BOUND, MAN GAVE DHASE T0 NDUSE. WHICH WAS NAN AND WHICH wAs NDUSE, WOULD BE EKDEEDINGLY HARD T0 TELL. CLIFTON BECAME ENTANGLED WITH THE NOW UN- OCCUPIED BEDPDST AND THE NDUSE wHIsTLED DHEERFULLY FROM THE PICTURE FRAMEQFRON FRAME T0 WINDOW SILL, AND FROM DRESSCR TO TIE RACK, THE Nous: LED A MERRY CHASE. CLIFTON FINALLY FALTERED AND SAT DOWN TO REST. THE MOUSE SUGGESTED CALMLY, 'WHY NOT BE REASONABLE AND G0 BACK TO BED. I'N WILL- ING TO LET You HAVE HALF THE BED. lT's You wHo STARTED ALL THIS. I wAs SATlSFIED.' 'I'LL HAVE THE WHOLE BED FOR MYSELF AND You, VERMIN THAT You ARE, SHALL KNOW A COLDER FATE THAN EVER You HAVE DREANED 0F,' QUDTH HE AND AGAIN THE FIGHT wAs DN. SHOES, PILLOWS, BRUSHES, CLIFTON, AND THE MOUSE MINGLED IN HDPELESS CONFUSION. WHEN THE MOUSE JUMPED INTO A BUREAU DRAwER, CLIFTON POUNDED AN OLD GARTER FOR SEVERAL ExULTANT MINUTES BEFORE DISDDVERING HIS HISTAKE. THE BED, BV THIS TIME wAs OVERTURNED, AND SHOES AND OTHER HISDELLANY WERE SDATTERED OVER THE ROOM AS CLIFTON WENT BACK T0 HIS CORNER AND RECON- SIDERED. THE Nous: PROMPTLY JUMPED UP INTO THE BEDSPRINGS AND BEGAN A SYSTEMATIC ExAN- INATION OF THE ENTIRE NEDHANISN. CLIFTON WENT BACK TO BED T0 WAIT, AND AWOKE A QUARTER or AN HOUR LATER TO FIND HIS FOE SNDRING GENTLY IN HIS EAR. AH, THE HDRRDRS OF THE NEXT SEVERAL MIN- UTES WERE INDESCRIBABLE! How BITTER IS THE FRAY WHEN STRONG WILL3 CLASH AND HOW UNPRED- IGTABLE THE OUTCOMEQ TIRED AND HAGGARD BUT VIDTDRIDUS, CLIFTON EMERGED FROM THE RDDN THE NEXT NDRNING, CARRYING A SMALL AND ONCE VALIANT Nous: QV THE TAIL. How LITTLE THE UNKNOWING DBSERVER WOULD GUESS OF THE REAL SIGNIFIDANDE OF THAT BATTLE: THE INEVITABLE BATTLE BETWEEN MAN AND MDUSE. P. RICHARDS --- 0 --- DEMOCRACY IN THIS SCHOOL I HAVE BEEN TDLD BY STUDENTS COMING HERE FRDN OTHER SCHOOLS THAT OUR SCHOOL IS VERY DEMOCRATIC. I THINK IT IS. WE HAVE ACCESS TO OUR ROOMS AT NOON T0 PLAY CHINESE CHECKERS, STUDY QR JUST SIT AND TALK. WE CAN G0 DVER- TOWN IF WE WISH. WE DAN READ FROM A GOOD Su- PLY OF BOOKS IN DUR LIBRARY OR WE CAN GO TO THE GYM AND PLAY BASKETBALL OR WATCH SDNEDNE ELSE PLAY. WE NEARLY NAKE OUR owN RULES BUT WHEN THEY ARE BROKEN SOMETIMES MORE DRASTIG MEASURES MUST BE TAKEN. WE ALSO HAVE OUR STUDENT'S ASSOCIATION DDNSISTING OF EVERY ONE WHO wISHES TO JOIN FRDN THE SEVENTH T0 TwELVTH GRADES. THIS STUDENT'S ASSOCIATION AS STATED IN THE PRE' AMBLE, RPROMOTES EXYRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES sucH AS ATHLETICS, MUSIC, DRANATIDS, ETC: POSTERS A MORE AcTIvE SCHOOL SPIRIT AND PRD- VIDES FDR THE SOCIAL WELFARE OF THE STUDENTS! EACH YEAR WE ELECT THE MEMBERS OF DUR STUDENT COUNCIL OR GOVERNING BODY. OUR STUDENT'S As- SDDIATIDN GDVERNNENT COMPARES FAVORABLV WITH OUR NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. J. LDHR --- 0 --- NBUMBER SHOOTSn I RECENTLY WENT SHOPPING ON A DAY THAT wAs AS wET AND SOGGV AS MILK-SOAKED CEREAL- I wAs VERY INTERESTED, THDUGH, IN THE ASSORT- ED COLORS, SHAPES, AND SIZES OF THE VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS USED AS PROTECTION AGAINST THE ELEMENTS. As IS USUAL IN ANY COMMON SHOWING, THERE wAs A LIMITED NUMBER OF DLD-FASHIDNED UMBRELH AS, BLACK AS HATE, ARTLESS,AND BIG ENOUGH T0 COVER THREE PEOPLE WHEN LITTLE SISTER INSISTS ON ACCOMPANYING THE YOUNG COUPLE ON THEIR SUN- DAY AFTERNOON wH.K. TH: RIBS OF DNE OF THESE SPECIMENS WOULD RENIND A FARM BOY OF A HORSE WHO HAD NEVER HAD QUITE ENOUGH TO EAT. THERE WERE DAINTY POLKA-DOT UNBRELLAS IN LIGHT, SOFT HUES THAT RENINDED ONE OF DENURE YOUNG GIRLS WHO SHYLY SMILE AT PASSING NEN- BERS OF THE GENUS HONG- THERE WERE GAYLY STRIPED UMBRELLAS THAT EXPOUNDED DHEERFULNESS AND AN DPTINISTID VIEw OF LIFE. DONALD DUCK AND PINOCCHID BDBBED NERRILY DOWN THE STREET. I SAw BIG-FLOWERED UMBRELLAS WITH CLASH- ING DAUBS OF PAINT. I COULD NOT HELP BUT THINK OF THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THESE UN- BRELLAS AND THE KIND OF CHIFFON DRESSES THAT STOUT LADIES D0 INQIQT ON wEARING ON swELTER- ING SUMMER DAYS. THERE WERE ALSO NDDEST UN- BRELLAS IN PLAIN BROWNS, GREENS, THAT HENT THERE WERE WHITE UNBRELLAS SPRIGS OF SPRING FLOWERS, CHECKERED UMBRELLAS BROKEN UMBRELLAS, GAUDY AND ANCIENT UMBRELLAS AND SOME FETID UMBRELLAS, TH: CAUSE OF THE UNPLEASANTNESS BEING ATTRIBUTED T0 THEIR NEW- NESS. You SEE, THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF UN- BRELLAS JUST AS THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE. AND BLUES, WALKING QUIETLY DOWN THE STREET. WITH DAINTY

THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE EACH YEAR THE aovs ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE TEAM-CONSCIOUS AND ARE GETTING AWAY FROM INDIVIDUAL PLAY.
