and KL1 A Published Semi-Annually by P. S. 12, Manhattan MRS. MARX' C. DONOHUE, Prizrzfipal VOL. XI JANUARY, 1932 No. 1 SERVICE As a lark at sunrise Soars on happy wings, So love finds expression In songs that service sings. Service is not labor, It is love set free just to put in motion The Real in you and me. I The key-note of this term's work is-Service--and Number 12 is always ready to help. Ink and Inklings is glad to submit the following letter received by our school in recognition of our cooperation with the Red Cross: 1: Miss Sarah McCullagh, P. S. No. 12, Manhattan, Madison and Jackson Streets, New York City. My dear Miss McCullagh: The New York Chapter of the American Red Cross, and particularly the Production Department, wishes to thank you, the teachers and the children of Public School No. 12 for the beautifully made garments sent to us. You may be interested in knowing just what disposition we make of these garments. All Junior Red Cross garments, which are not given out by the Home Service Department of the Red Cross to the families of needy ex-service men, are stored in our Warehouse where they are ready for immediate ship- ment in case of any disaster. During the drought disaster in this country last year, the garments made at your school were among the first which we shipped into that area. It is very difficult for me to express my gratitude, and all that 1 feel, to the teachers and children for their wonderful work. Kindly extend my personal thanks as well as those of the Chapter for their interest and co- operation. Very sincerely yours, ANNA M. WELLS, fMrs. Edward H1 Wellsj Chairman, Coimniltre an Production. Our school did another piece of work in the Red Cross Held which gave us all a great deal of pleasure. One hundred large red stockings were filled with numerous articles for the use and enjoyment of the wounded veterans in hospitals. Among the goodies donated were boxes of figs, dates and candy. The others consisted of decks of playing cards, socks, joke books, tooth brushes, cigarettes and stationery. The individual packages were wrapped in gay Christ- mas paper and tied with silver and gold ribbons. Those who could not afford the price of any of these articles gave a few cents which they saved for that purpose. Everyone lent a helping hand in this enjoyable work. GERTRUD1-: UNGER, 8BC1 1

A USEFUL GIFT XVhat vivid pictures of Story Book Land the Trans Lux Machine has brought to us! This term it has made us realize how faithfully Shakespeare and Dickens studied human nature. The former's boy and girl characters now seem to us like normal beings of today. VVe have a better idea of Shakespearels life since seeing his birthplace, with several views of the inter- ior, the school which he attended. and New Place surrounded by its old- fashioned garden. This last was purchased after he had become rich through his playwriting. VVe loved the thatched-roof cottage which was the girlhood home of his mother, Anne Hathaway. If Samuel Pepys had seen the fairies of Outhwaite's Enchanted Forest, shown to us recently, I am sure that he would not have criticized 'KA Midsummer Night's Dream as the most insipid, ridiculous play he had ever seen. just picture a dainty blonde fairy playing on her pipes under a tree laden with apple blossoms or a raven-haired witch riding on a bat's back, above a marsh covered with rushes, or little elves and spirits playing among white wood anemones, purple larkspur, and tiny toad- stools. All these made Qberon and Titania, with their attendants, seem very real when they were thrown upon the screen. So many pictures of Dickens' characters have been shown us that I am very anxious to read again many of his works. From The Pickwick Papers we saw Mr. Pickwick addressing his club, then gravely sliding on the ice, his feet about a yard and a quarter apart, and, later, in the pond, sitting on a wheelbarrow, his hair disheveled, a most anxious look upon his face while he gazed at the curious and amused onlookers. One picture presented little Oliver Twist, asking for moren porridge, and, again, out walking with the pompous school-master, Mr. Bumble. Two views from David Copperfield especially delighted us-Mr. Micawber making punch, and dear old Mr. Peggotty with little Emily sitting on the steps of the fishermanls cottage. If you have read The Chimesl' you would have enjoyed seeing Trotty Veck roguishly peeping at the tripe in his daughter Meg's market basket. I must not forget to mention a transformed Scrooge, keeping his First really happy Christmas Day, by cheer- ily greeting all whom he met and patting the cheeks of the merry children. VVe can't be too grateful to the classes that at graduation, presented the Trans Lux Machine to their beloved Corlears. MIRIABI HELLER, RCG. REPORT ON GLEE CLUB Owing to the late opening of school on account of the epidemic, and the subsequent ban on assemblies for the same reason, the work of the Glee Club this term has been seriously curtailed. However, on December 24, the Glee Club with six girls from RCG fnamely: Frieda Lustin, Miriam Heller, Pauline Sandbank, Miriam Scherer, Clara Dicker, Clara Krellj gave a program entitled Celebrations at Christmas. In it allusions were made to Jewish, earlv Roman, Druid, and Christian observances during December, for many of the Christmas customs can be traced to the earlier celebrations. Especially do Christmas songs show this influence. By way of illustration, the Glee Club rendered the following numbers: l. Hanukkah round- Once an Evil King. . Hanukkah, Hanukkah . O Tree of Fia -an old German song . The VVasail Songu-old English . Yuletide Night -a Czeck carol . Set's Sing -a Russian Song . Christmas Hymn -By Praetorius At the time of painting, the Club is working on music incidental to the graduation play, namely- Helga and the W'hite Peacock. 2 3 4 5 6 7 E. B. TAYLOR. 2
