This tapping, Bringing joy to some, Hate to others. A farmer is blessed, A pilot is doomed. Soft, Pendulenr, Drops. The sky, Has smiled For tedious days, And now, In great relief It weeps. ANN SHAPIRO, '48

H Fate!! HE HORSE and rider were nearly on top of the poor runner who had suddenly tripped. The rider grabbed the runner by his belt and swung him up and across his horse bodily, then rode back to his leader. The leader was a rough looking char- acter with a cruel face who rode a beautiful mount. Still dazed and with terror in his eyes, the prisoner stood before his captor, whom he knew well. Being pressed with a question and refusing to answer, he received a heavy blow across his face from an armoured glove. With blood-stained face he looked back stubbornly. Still refusing to answer, he was hit from behind and got a kick in his face as he fell. just as he was starting to get up off the ground the captor's horse reared, and, as fate would have it, the horse's hooves came down on the prisoner's head. After surveying the dead man on the ground for a few moments, the captor turned, and with a cruelisneer on his lips said, He had a stubborn tongue. Ay, that he had, answered the dead man's friend, It was cut out last year. PAT Joi-1NsoN, '49 Mood It rainsgi Streamers of water Pour over the land. Soft, Pendulent, Drops hit the thirsty earth, Like sparks from the heavens above. Turbid gray oozes Through my window. It seems to envelop me, In a cloud mist The sound of the Beat Beat Beat Of the rain is Hypnotizing To my brain.

Pottery Studio TTERY AT Edgewood is a broad and varied field. Students can find relaxation and enjoyment in painting, music, drama and most unusual, pottery. The studio is cozy, with big picture windows and every convenience to make a well-turned piece of work. Miss Haughton, the instructor, is always ready to help some would-be sculp- tress or sculptor mold some clay. Be the student young or old, should he wish to make a pin, cup, bowl, plate or dog, he must first learn the fundamentals of pottery. Vari- ous methods, equipment and design are studied and then the work of art is started. The weighing, moisturizing, coloring and glazing are all important steps. Each stu- dent is taught to stack, fire and draw the kiln. The pieces are baked for hours, and then the awaited moment arrives-taking out the finished article. A few pieces crack in the heat and are held as works of art by their creators only, but those that are per- fect will probably be on sale on May Day. The purpose of selling pottery pieces is to raise money to complete the payment on a testing kiln bought for the studio. Though the piece be cracked or whole it still remains the expression of the indi- vidual who created it. K -13 'i va, M14 Halfl. A -,
