THE 1941 EMERSONIAN HERE ' S TO THE ONLY LUCKY STAR - YOURSELF Astrology we sing! Though people don’t adore us The horoscope’s the thing That makes allowance for us: Our resolution’s porous? Our mortals vertigo? We had the Sun in Taurus, The Moon in Scorpio. —CHRISTOPHER MORLEY June 1941, star light, sky bright with the ruddy planet Mars in sharp focus. That much we know without consulting crystal gazers, yogis, horoscopes, or other furnishings of the astrologer s paradise. All Americans, especially young Americans like us, the columnists tell us, have a Date with Destiny. We’ll keep it as all young Americans have always kept it. In the meantime or on the side, we’ll take time out for fun because we are going to need the fun to carry us through. We have used the zodiac as our theme not be¬ cause we wish to take astrology seriously (how our science teachers would grieve if we did!) but be¬ cause it offered a picturesque way of the putting down the record for this school year. Yet every now and then in the ribbing you will notice that we speak of the stars with respect. The Sun, the Moon, the Stars, and other planets may fascinate you or make you feel less than the dust. Do not let either mood blot out reality and cause you to depen d on the stars. Get going on your own. Reach that star of yours! It’s yours for the taking and the working! ULUULQJt OULU SCHOOJ.
