T he March of Time QA movie on the Past and Presentj The camera fades in as we see the 3rd term .... It's a History Glass with a teacher so nrmg He rises up slowly and addresses the crowd. He is dressed, oh so simply, in a very smart shroud. . . On his Maplewood desk lies the hickory birch And over the small room his stern eyes do search. His thunderous voice is heard, cheeks start to burn, Those who haven't their homework will soon have to learn That my word's a command, and my birch is the law! If you want me to pass you, you'll have to work more! john! Answer this question, you're sitting so still .... Quick! The facts on the Battle of Bunker Hill. J With timid voice and knees very weak Poor little john is attempting to speak- Your lordship, your majesty, I am ready to tell Of the great war battle where Britishers fell. Ammunition was low, so the colonists stated: 'Don't shoot at the British until we're invaded. On june 17, in '75, The hope of Colonists became alive.' The British were defeated through our undertaking .... Can I now sit down 'cause my knees are still shaking?P?P The camera fades out as we hear the change bell And we enter a class where they know history well .... It's the 8th term A. H. group, Mr. Gradstein presiding, In back of a senior, another is hiding, She's doing her steno, avoiding his looks, While Bookkeeping Majors are balancing books.' Arfr. G. asks a question, the room becomes still .... Can anyone tell me about Bunker Hill?? Can you, young lady, this question define? Of cawse, she answers, I got 99!! Well, ya see it's like this, these here guys want a war . . . Please don't ask me why, I don't know just what for- The whole town is shootin' an' the place is a mess . . . Then a fella named Lincoln makes the Gettysburg Address . . . Washington draws up the Bill of Declaration And Tom Paine signs the Emancipation Proclamation. So, I'm finished, so, and there's no more to tell . . . Can I do my English now, huh, 'til the bell?PP?P Sally Merran 12

Cleopatra's Mirror Maude looked in the glass case which revealed an ebony black box set with mother-of-pearl, an assortment of beautiful jars, wigs with hundreds of black, metal-tipped curls, a shiny disk mounted on a handle to serve as a mirror. As these were tools for making-up, she found herself a little more interested than she had been in the other part of the museum with its ancient exhibits of Caesar's chariot, shield, and other paraphernalia for his wars. What had she to learn from them, the relics ofla Past long gone, of people, whom space and time and progress had long rendered uninfluential, absurd with their ideals and pitifully harmless tools of warP' She sighed with boredom and looked away, and then she saw what she had come to see-her lover standing tall and handsome in his uniform. And why shouldn't he stand tall? He was a'major. She was always proud to be seen with a man of his rank, even though he had grey hair and was many years older than she. So she turned from the case, and went to her major . . . to her major, standing in their usual meeting place by the miniature sphinx. Thus she had no time to reflect, to wonder about the fablesitold of the beauty and fatal glamour of the queen, no time to wonder of the passing expressions of the beauty who had used the mirror centuries ago, or who or what purpose had moved her to blacken and shape her brows, to paint her lips and cheeks coral, or rub a perfumed ointment into her skin. Oh, Edward! So this is the last time we are to meet! And you will go, and forget your conquestg just, after all, another foolish young child who threw herself at the major, dazzled by his rank. Nonsense, my dear. You'll meet a younger man, who has much more to offer than I. I'1l send him to you, just the one you would like. Ch, will you, Edward? I'd prefer to think that you would not, because of envy. But it's true, you know, she said, teasing him, you are old. But she turned from him with tears glistening in her eyes. just the same, I'll kill myself because of loneliness! And she ran from the room with all eyes on her. She sobbed and disappeared just as the clock struck five, and the sun was just beginning to set in the west wing of the museum. 14
