Return to Pan and the swift glimpses Of fauns in the dark's thrust, silver haired ..., You would be lost in the sun's turning, You would be pitifully ensnared- Leave it to us to walk in light, Mortals who have never known The deep, uncertainty of dark, The synthesis of forest-bone. We stagger out against the heave Of iire immortal, for we are Not things of music, as a nymph Who whittles pipings from a star, Who moves upon the inner air, The inmost breathing of the world- You would gasp like a young bee Within his first sweet Hower curled .... Go back to Pan, and to the sound Seven Eight His lips against the pipes thrust forth, There in the forest, where you see The moon unfold from south to north. Return and glow beneath it, only A slim gleam in the forest's swerve- The moon out here would pierce your body, The flame would burn your body's curve, For only in depth one dares to go With naked limbs and naked heart, There are a thousand spears in light To tear the brave, glad thing apart. . . And the gold shrilling of the earth Would stifle youg so you would stare, An unacquainted flower, bruised And battered on the mammoth air. You might not be unhurt enough To ever rise and bathe the wound In a dusky chrysalis .... You might sink where you had swooned, Down into the greedy soil, And feed yourself to ilower's roots Turned to April-you might be Engendered in the earth's shoots .... Nymph, go back, you were not meant To be, a flower, you are just A young sprite vaguely real, a dream Of wind and star and leaf's dust- An unreal thing can never come Into reality and stand The surety of life against The transient breast, the psycic hand. . . Nymph, return to the soft moving Of dim things unwaylaid by flame, If you are caught in the dawn's wonder, You will have only yourself to blame ...... Anna Elizabeth Bennett, June, 1931 The Tale of Eg-are and Amourette CContaining an account of the doings of Guinevere regarding Lancelot and a certain young ladyj NCE upon a time there was a knight. I shall not tell you his name, but since we must call him something for purposes of convenience, we may as well call him le Chevalier Egare. They called Gareth Beaumains -in fact, I think it was Egare himself who proposed this title-so if French he the fashion, French it shall be in deference to our knight. Egare was not of quite as great renown in Arthur's court as Lancelot, for instance, but he was quite as well liked as anybody, and I prefer Egare infinitely to Galahad. However., one day, while Egare was seeing how great a color-metamor- phosis teasing could make in Sir Kay's lemony face, a beautiful maiden entered the great wide hall. She had long, dark hair, and eyes which approached their darkness rather through grey than brown, a very white skin, and she was tall and well built. She advanced toward the King with such a queenly air and such consciousness of beauty in her gaze that Guinevere glanced apprehen- sivcly at Lancelot. As soon as Guinevere ascertained that Alnourette was prettier than she, immediately the nose of the better royal half was turned heavenwards, and kept at that precarious angle all the time Amourette was there, thus making the Queen lose a chance of flirting with Lancelot. As you have probably already prophesied, my clever reader, Egare was immediately enslaved by the charlns of this lovely demoiselle, so he decided that he would be the one that would ride through the forest to Nine kill the dragons or giant the lady probably wished to have killed, and his arm would somehow find its way around Amourette's waist, and the sheer romantic deliciousness of the situation would give speech to his tongue -well, he was somewhat astonished when Amourette, departing from the usual order of things by not stating that there was somewhere a monster ogre with one eye, and a face full of hideous blotches, and no nose or mouth, merely explained to Arthur that she wished to be escorted through a dangerous forest where a fierce enemy lay awaiting her. Egare very promptly offered himself, and of course Arthur consented to his going. Guinevere, burning to see whether Lancelot were safe, thought her nose might venture down from its exalted position, but no, that odious, beauti- ful creature was still there, and Arthur was inviting her to have dinner with the company, because she was the daughter of his dearest friend. Why did Amourette have to be placed next to Lancelot? And there she was, looking three times as fascinating as Guinevere herself, smiling at Lancelot, who was putting on a killing look already! Why-Why-if it came to that-if Guinevere couldn't even have her own lover-where then was the advantage in being Queen? However, to make a plain tale still plainer, we will only relate that Egare swiftly bedazzled Amourette before she could entangle Lancelot, and Guinevere could have gone down on her knees to Egare for it. On the way through the perilous forest, after a terrible combat with the fierce enemy, in which the ogre's head went waltzing down a hill, and Egare had flicked off a leaf from his spotless sleeve and resumed his ride with the lady, his arm somehow found its way around Amourette's waist, and the sheer romantic deliciousness gave speech to his tongueg Amourette of course, blushed and looked out from under her eyelashes, and laid her head lovingly against her knight's shoulder, after having let the ardent Egare snatch his first kiss from the coy maiden. However, perhaps we are being too interested in this sort of thing already, so we shall watch the pair turn about face to Arthur's court, where they were married. Then Guinevere had a colossal job on her hands: how to keep Lance- lot away from Mrs. Amourette fwe don't dare to say or vice-versaj. How- ever Madame was so engrossed with her handsome Egare that she didn't overwork Guinevere, and in about a year and a day, a knight was des- patched to Arthur's very dearest friend with a message from Egare which announced, in the language of those days, something to this effect: Mother and child are doing well. Aurelia Leflier, January, 1933. Ten A New York 'I' was rush hour in the Tailor Shop in the factory town of the yet-to-be babies, and when I was hurried into the fitting room, the angel who was to equip me with my imagination was so weary, that she cut it out by the wrong pattern, and found it much too large. She was too much fatigued to fashion another, and she knew that discarding this precious substance was prohibited, so she rolled it up, and slipped it in, and looked for a place to send me where this overblessing wouldn't shrivel from under- nourishment. She found the place in a big old fashioned rectory, set in a lovely garden in a sleepy Vermont town. The long happy hours spent there fostered this inherent imagination, and my dreams gradually became so entwined with my surroundings, that even now, as I look back, it is impossible to distinguish between the two. In the garden there were many nooks and crannies in which the fairies might well have lived, and I remember wondering one day, when I crushed a tiny insect on the gravel path, whether that creature might not have heard the swish of my skirts and thought it a tempest, the crunch of my steps and thought it a blast of thunder, felt my final step and thought it a furious cyclone. Realizing that this was possible, it seemed a logical conclusion that our storms were but the movement of a colossal race, and death by accident but the careless step of a giant. I had a friend of about my own age, and together we enacted our fairy tales. My room had a small balcony, and there we waited for the prince to come scrambling up the rose lattice to us. While this sport was most popular, my aunt went to New York on business, and returned laden with gifts and descriptions for us. After this it was no longer in a balcony, but far up a skyscraper, that we waited for our prince to climb over the roses. It never occurred to us to doubt the existence of the roses. Soon, with what wonder-lore we had gleaned from my aunt, and the greater supply taken from our own fertile imaginations, we made New York our Dream City. We visioned it populated with little girls, dressed in silks and satins, riding milk white ponies through glittering streets. These girls, although they were beautiful to me then, would seem strange in many ways if I could see them now, for they all had long black curls, red hair-ribbons, and--eye glasses! Their hair was always black because mine Eleven was light, curly because mine was relentlessly straight, and long because mine was kept short. I often dreamed of a miraculous growth of hair which shortened every time I played a prank-a result of reading Pinnoccio. My demoiselles wore red hair ribbons because my hair was too red itself to permit any indulgence in my favorite color. The glasses were probably added because my eyes were too keen to make it necessary for me to wear them. I had my answers all prepared, so that, if a terrible ogre should ask me whether or not I wanted to wear glasses, I could immediately say no, and pretend surprise and sorrow when he forced me to wear them. During this time my father went away for a week, and the night after his return my mother entered our room with such a mysterious air that we knew a surprise was in store for us instead of the usual Robert Louis Stevenson poems, and we curled, up in anticipation. First she asked us in a delightfully confident way whether we could keep a secret. We hastened to assure her that we could. Then, to prolong the delicious suspense, she gave us three guesses as to what the secret was. Because of my age and sex, I was yielded first guess. A puppy? I ventured, and immediately wished I hadn't, for I hated to hurt my mother by making her admit that it wasn't. Mother shook her head, but, much to my relief, not sadly. After Frederick had guessed even a tricycle, and she had said, Better, we could wait no longer, but demanded a prompt explanation. The only sound in the room after she told us that we were going to move to New York, the city of dreams, was a very weak '6Oh. My dreams that night were a wild farrago, the main current of which showed a girl with black curls, red ribbons, glasses, pony and all, who ma- jestically scattered gold coins left and right. As she rode nearer I recog- nized her as myself! The next morning we plied father with innumerable questions, and he told us about his trip, step by step. When we learned about trains which ran on bridges in the air, and others which ran under rivers, all of which could be ridden on for five cents, we were confounded. In our small town there was but one railroad, and trains meant long journeys. After the narration had continued for quite a time, father casually mentioned ........ opening the gate, and was stopped short. A gate? To what? '4Why, to the fence, of course! To what fence, Daddy? Twelve Then he explained-our new house had a fence! This impressed us tremendously. Richford houses didn't have fences! It also made things simpler, for it would be much easier to pick our house out quickly. I didn't keep the secret. When my friend refused to believe some of my fantastic tales about New York, I blurted it out to prove my point. I even added that we were going simply because she was so mean to me, and furthermore, that she would never receive any presents from me. She was completely suppressed, and even tearfully begged my mother to stay, promising to mend her ways. The long-awaited day finally arrived, and we boarded the train with no other mishap than my brother's fall into a puddle and the consequent temporary ruin of a previously immaculate white suit. We entered New York through a dirty, squalid, section of the city, which certainly did not measure up to my fantastic expectations. Perhaps the only reason that the shattering of all my visions did not leave me un- happy was that things were so diEerent that they kept me absorbed. The bedding, hanging out of windows to air, the children in the streets, the pushcarts, and the crowds, were so astounding to me that my eyes seemed too small. My father, because it was convenient, and to oblige me, took us to our new home by the elevated railway. I never go around a curve on one to this day, without remembering that first ride, when I measured the distance to every housetop. . Now, although I have learned that little girls here don't all ride ponies, and can't all have red ribbons, indeed, don't even want glassesg although I know that the buildings are not gold, and the people are not as wealthy in money as they might wish, although I've changed these dreams for others, I still believe that New York is, at heart, a fairyland. Barbara Tripp, January, 1933. SYMBOL Pm past the age to romp and run, I have to live with little fung But still I have as wish and hope: A rainbow for my skipping rope. Aldona Mikolainis, June, 1931. Thirteen - -- Fourteen Felled Tree HIS tree, this tree, whose eager hands Were curving up against the sky To catch the swoop of beauty bound In April flaming, swift and high, Has had the emerald notes cast out Of its deep throat and the song-begun., And lies, a broken thing., against The smoky moving of the air, Its lips too mute for bitter moan, Its heart too still to care, to care- How can you know who are not tree, Who are not sister to the wind, Who are not mother to a bird, The sorrow of a body pinned Within a cerement of frost, The passionate negation and The breaking of the burning wings- Almost its opal tongue had thrown Into the day, a joyous word, But it was cruelly refused, Like a dropped star, a stifled bird, A crystal heritage, its all. Nearly within the tremulous hour, It was deprived of the dream, again, It was refused its heart's flower .... But if you had said to the cruel night That this was nothing-a tree denied Its April right, and beauty's spears And gloryis wounds, you lied you lied' Anna Elizabeth Bennett, June, 1931 The Cruise of the Artemis HERE is no state so admirable as the unconscious one: poets, oblivious to all save the Muse, are, undoubtedly, thereg musicians, dancers, painters, all, the artists, the blessed of God, have become insensitive to reality as personified in frigidity, frivolity, and friction. This aesthetic torpor is produced, we are told, by the semi-conscious, by mystic communi- cation with a realm forbidden, and justly so, to any individual who might dare call a spade a spade. How much more effective it is to suggest the spade, in the inimitable manner of the Imagists, thus: Deeper Deeper Deeper Into the stony ground- Earth-stained, storm-battered, iron-hearted- Deeper Deeper Deeper Into the worm-souled earth- That is a spade. And it is quite evident that nothing half so eloquent could have been written by the stolid brotherhood who have seen spades. Thus, unawareness lifts one above earthly things and deposits one on a lofty eminence from which one may clutch at halos, wings, and other heavenly trappings. Naturally the unconscious are small in number and cherish this sign of individuality with all the fervor of the artistic tem- perament. Unfortunately a strange thing is happening. Persons who are neither artists nor blessed of God have become possessed of the power of unconsciousness, whereas the artists and the blessed of God have be- come increasingly aware of their position. The former are, quite surpris- ingly, simple beings, entirely brainless and utterly charming. Fifteen Perhaps the one quality makes possible the other, but without doubt Shar Davis possessed the two. He was a young, aimless vagabond with a gift for idleness and an itch for adventure. His education had been wholly neglected, and had left him delightfully ignorant. Nothing wrong or ugly had ever disturbed him, for his presence, in itself, banished evil and 'thought of evil. He was lying on the deck of a battered sloop, twiddling his thumbs, and gazing whimsically into the air. Near him stood a pail of dirty water, wedged in firmly by some coal bags. A rather pitiful mop leaned on the bags. The deck should have been swabbed an hour ago, but Shar had for- gotten all about it, and at any rate, Shar thought the ship looked unnatural when she was clean. This was very true. The Artemis, named by a late ship-master with a passion for mythology and salt-pork, looked very much like a small boy scraped clean for Sunday, when she was tidied. Shar had seen her first, looking dark and wobbly. She had just come in from sea and she had weathered her storms none too well. In fact, Artemis had such an adventurous air about her, that Shar was moved to get a place aboard her. Another individual had been moved as strongly as Shar, and had succumbed to the temptation of having a lark from which the regulation brass band and blue buttons would be absent. Life was a procession of brass bands for him. His name was Kennard Wood, and he was an author, who wrote psychoanalytical novels and gave speeches on modern culture. He had blown his own horn so effectively that he could aiord to stand by and listen to other people's horns. Nor was this as gratifying as Kennard had imagined. The literati were becoming ridiculous in his eyes, and the very thought cloyed. Kennard soon discovered Shar, and Shar's literary possibilities. The two spoke together, when the work was done, of what they thought, and hoped, and loved. Since Shar was untainted by the influence of other men's ideas, he was refreshingly new and delightful to Kennard. Unable to escape pen and ink, Kennard wrote a book about Shar. It was not as consciously analytical as the others had been. The reviewers pounced on it eagerly. A breath of fresh air, a wind which blows the cobwebs from one's consciousness, and lets something beautiful and young enter in. This was a variation on the theme of delighted response which greeted the novel. And Kennard wondered silently, What do they know about it? Ruth Goldzweig, June, 1931. Sixteen v--- On Writing An Essay EFORE me lie the unsuggestive paper, the mathematical-looking pen, the frowning ink bottle. In me is a perfect blank of a mind. Out of these four unpromising ingredients I must cook me an essay that will at once get a good mark, make a favorable impression on a new teacher, and still be done in ten minutes. O Goddess of Ideas, whoever you are, incline your inspiring eyes this way! I gaze across the table at my friend, wonderingly, uncomprehendingly. With her thumb nail doomed to fast destruction in her mouth, she is feverishly scratching away at Being Adolescent. Ah! I get a brilliant idea! My topic is not as good as hers! Very well, I proceed to discard my own feeble subject in favor of the more workable one of hers. I take a nice, clean sheet of paper, fill my bursting pen anew, put my thumb imitatively into my mouth, and try to scratch also. The last- named process goes on but slowly. I very artistically head my paper, and put on the third line, ostentatiously, On Being Adolescent? I leave a line eloquently blank, and begin: HADOLESCENTS ARE VERY FUNNY? No, but that's the wrong word. Miss --- said one mustn't use 4'funny when one means queen Very well, scratch! scratch! scratch! Presto! Behold the word queer miraculously evolved out of funny , and accompanied and surrounded by a beautiful feathery roughness, somewhat tinted with blue, which gives the paper an air of subtle nonchalance, carelessness. But still, I mean funny also. I mean they make one laugh. So I charge bravely into the fray: NADOLESCENTS ARE VERY QUEER AND THEY ARE VERY FUNNY. Having said that, I perceive that I have aired out all my stupendously wealthy stock of opinions. What on earth can that girl see in being adolescent? Seventeen Amy, what do you do after you say they are queer and funny? Amy emerges briefly out of her vortex, answers enigmatically, Say why , and plunges back again. What can she mean? That I should say why they are funny? Well, I don t think they are particularly funny, but Mother's Child Study book seemed to think so. THEY ARE FUNNY AT FIRST BE- CAUSE THEY HAVE SUCH LONG- , here I run aground. SPINDLE- SHANKSW, Pm sure I should say, but I don't know just how Miss -- will relish such a descriptive word. Well, P11 chance it. WITH THEIR LONG 'SPINDLESHANKS2 THEY ARE QUEER TOO. THAT'S BECAUSE THEIR LEGS LOOK MORE LIKE SPIDERS THAN LIKE LEGS. I don't really think they look a bit like spiders, but the book did say something about spiders. Amy, what after you say why? You say when. When??? When they're adolescent, of course. But I think I said that. Well, Amy's probably right. THEY ARE LIKE THAT WHEN THEY'RE ADOLESCENT3' Amy, what goes next? Why nothing. Then you have a graceful ending, and it's all finished. I don't think mine is, but she must know. A graceful ending??? Well, some of them can dance gracefully, but an ending--?? However, MOST ADOLESCENTS HAVE A GRACEFUL ENDING. Aurelia Lefller, January, 1933. THIS IS SHE From out her heart a light is spread As from the facets of a jewel. And in her brain the white thoughts turn, And with a subtle beauty burn. Her soul is made of scarlet thread Wound on a silver spool. And visioned in her quiet eyes A solitude of spirit lies. Marie East, June, 1931. Eighteen Gypsy Fever Gypsies love to roam In the path of the silvery stars- Singing their song to the moon With the twang of their throbbing guitars- 19, up Their caravans are waiting ,A, , A By the .side of the vagabonds' trail- . ' ' ' M With the flickering camp-fires calling As the glory of night grows pale. Florence Rodin, January, 1932. -,iii-.il--11-11 Life Having experienced to some extent the passion of modern youths for cynicism and futility, and having subsequently observed their manifestations of this attitude to be a flat failure, we feel the necessity for revealing them unto themselves. Compare me not unto a violet leaf g Such sweet unworldliness is lost to me. How can you doubt my wisdom's pedigree? Cr see my cynic's air with unbelief? But if in nature you would truly find A suitable comparison for me, Say I am like a gnarled and crabbed tree, Or at its dusty root, a mouldy rind. Or if a violet leaf you still prefer, Compare me to the wilted curling leaf Whose hour of loveliness has been too brief. Compare me to the wormy heart it bore, And seeing my true bitterness, aver Me like unto its wry and bitter core. Marie East, June, 1931. Nineteen 1 1-1-fr - Rhapsody in Tan-A Fantasy UNSET! The great king of the heavens sends forth fiery darts of color over a tired world! A peaceful scene meets the eye-a large green field and a tree, under which is .... ah!! little does humanity realize its beauty! .... under the tree is-ah! doesn't her countenance bespeak the truth of centuries! .... under the tree is .... see how lightly her form wanders over the clover-covered grass which resembles a phos- phorescent lake-under the tree is-see her eyes which sparkle like pools of melted silver!-under the tree is-oh humanity what have you come to? Can't you see the worth of this dainty creature who seems to be sprinkled with fairy star-dust? under the tree is-oh most beautiful of most beautiful things-as Keats said, A thing of beauty is a joy forever, its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness! ' under the tree is-oh most poetic of beings whose soul shines forth like a torch on a cynic world!- under the tree is-see the gentle movement of her sweet mouth as she consumes her simple repast!-under the tree is-how can I go on when I am overwhelmed with her charm, her poise, her loveliness! Ah ye who do not understand! ye who are blind to poetry! ye who are pedants! ye who-it is dark now-the perfumed dusk has settled! Requiescat in pace -under the tree is ...... a cow! ! ! Amy Lieberman, January, 1933. THE MOON The moon is a supple swing- Pushed by a breath of wind, Suspended by slender chains of stars She rides thru the sky, Tireless, incessant. Sadie Goodman, June, 1932. Twenty Tragedy HEY found her dead in the court yard of the tall building. She lay there, a broken thingg but peace was on her face. I knew her tragic story, since my family and hers were neighbors in the old country. Lisa was young and happy. Her parents were of the better country type, her home was pleasant, and a definite agreement had been made between her and Boris. However, Lisa was troubled with severe headaches that left her worn out and sick. Talk was made of an evil eye, but nothing was done for the poor girl. And she continued to suker. In the old country there is a belief that a dead person has great power before he is lowered into the ground. A touch from such a person's hand is reputed to have cured numerous illnesses. When one day a pious old lady fell ill and died, Lisa was taken to the death room, and much against her will, the cold, withered hand was drawn across her forehead. Lisa felt the touch, and in horror fell into a swoon. For days she was ill. When she finally went back to the work of the house she was often terrified by the feel of a clammy hand on her head. These sudden feelings became more frequent, and Lisa's face took on a haunted look. She was not the same. When she was alone she would scream and sob hysterically if she but heard a sudden noise. That dead hand seemed to be forcing down on her poor head, and tearing her frightened heart. Suddenly she was taken to America. In the life of New York she seemed to lose her dread. She would walk in the crowded streets, and lose all pain, as she felt the stream of humanity against her. One rainy day she found herself deserted, and, looking up into the sky, she saw descending on her the same hand, cruel and relentless. Now she knew she was lost. Useless was her mad journey, and that brief respite from fear was merely the preparation, the courage, to make that final plunge. Lisa was dead now-the hand had finally cured her pain. Sivia Friedman, January, 1932. Twenty-one Organs Are Emancipated YGIENISTS have constantly told us that the human race would be far healthier if every member of it walked on all fours, since, as bipeds, we cramp our organs. If biologists should make some remarkable discovery which proved conclusively the truth of this theory, a law would probably be passed commanding all to use four limbs for walking and always to be in a more or less horizontal position. And then? Let us watch a young lady go to a dance with her escort. A taxi- cab awaits them only a few steps away, andthe lady walks over this distance gracefully on all fours. She is wearing a long chiEon dress, a delicate wrap, and long white glovesg while her escort in full dress wears spats on his ex-feet and manages to carry a cane. They make such a handsome couple! The ball is evidently an exclusive one, and fashionably-dressed women and distinguished-looking men stroll about, using four legs for this act. When they dance they are in an oblique position, forming a triangle with the floor, each dancer being one side of this triangle. The musicians, too, are in extremely awkward positions. The pianist's feet rest on a table which is as high as the piano, while his hands extend over to the keys. The violinists and the players of the wind instruments have their feet on the floor and there are blocks of wood on which they rest their chests, bending over in order to be in an almost horizontal position. Leaving these merry-makers, we enter a place of justice-a court. All are seated in puppy fashion save a lawyer, eloquently pleading his case on all fours. But his eloquence avails him nothing-his client must go to jail. He has been seen walking upright on two feet, and is an attempted suicide. Celia Star, June, 1932. Twenty-two Wag, Tongues, Wag! EFORE the town of Littlefield had quite reached that commercial stage of development popularly known as flourishing, its most venerated institution was the Dobbs Memorial Library. The donor was characterized as a umagnanimous patron of educational facilities. Al- though the bare structure was one of rustic simplicity, it was felt that rather by the patron's good taste than otherwise did it harmonize so strictly with its surroundings, and, although the library was open for two full hours a day, rare were the lulls in which the librarian could peruse sur- reptitiously the neglected classics of her uncultivated youth. With the appointment of Mrs. Timley as librarian, the town had acquired a problem, for one of its standard remarks had become, We'll never find anyone to take her place. Mrs. Timley is really so eiiicient. What would we do without her? Mrs. Timley had gained this post rather through her vices than by her virtues, for being an avidly observant widow, well versed in current gossip, she could readily recommend suitable books to her fellow townsmen. Mrs. Timley's desire for gossip had never lain dormant, nor had it been in any degree suppressed, and she had long employed her favorite ruse for getting to the bottom of a situation as enticing as Cap'n Dave's. Her clairvoyant ability in telling fortunes by tea-leaf formations, had brought her fame in the vicinity. And so, as Jean and David approached to have a book charged, Mrs. Timley decided to get to the bottom of this situation too. Why, how are you, Jean ? she said. It does seem too bad I don't see more of you when you live right next door. Maybe you could come and have tea with me this evening? I could tell your fortune, too. You know we're all so interested in your career. Why, Mrs. Timley-- Oh, yes we are, now. You come too, Cap'n Dave, and do bring your wife along. I have so much to say to her-about the library, she added, leaving no opportunity for refusal. And so Jean and David went out. David Grover, who had acquired along with a dapper little catboat, the laconic title of Cap'n, kept a trim dairy. Ruth, his wife, was a genial companion. Such a nice woman, toog so active in promoting interest in the library. Twenty-three Jean Merkley, on the other hand had remained aloof ever since the town daily had published her free verse about railroad trains. David, who had no taste in poetry, had been most impressed. Jean cherished her trifling prestige, and all her life, having ached to scintillate, found in it ample excuse for posing. Perhaps because she was spare and nervous and over thirty, her most determined pose was that of youth in revolt against the injustices of a harsh world. David had been a most complacent towns- man until she suddenly informed him that, had parental opinion not forced him to settle down, he might have been a famous actor. Now the extent of David's acting had been a comic part in some charitable performances, and so he had at first been amazed, then complimented and slightly amused, and finally the idea had become so mountainous a molehill, that David was thinking of leaving Ruth, to try his luck on the New York stage. He lingered to chat when he brought Jean's milk, and caused the town to murmur, he drove her home from a fair in his fringe-roofed surrey, and caused the town to stir uneasilyg he took her for a ride in his catboat, and set the town by its ear! lk 'll Sl' HK Sk They were gathered around Mrs. Timley's marble-topped table, David Grover, his wife Ruth, and Jean. They sat and sipped Mrs. Timley's tea, which always seemed more bitter because of the anticipated fortune-tell- ing. Ruth Grover chatted whole heartedly. She had no gossipy tendencies, and therefore was quite unaware that David was being thought rather foolish. She was a little humdrum, perhaps Cas a result of farm workl, reflected the genteel Mrs. Timley, but she was so jolly. David's cup was clouded with tea leaves, providing a lucrative field for Mrs. Timley's fortune-telling. He drained the cup and handed it to her, saying, Do I make a wish 'P' Hold your cup upside down and wish. All right! Here you are. And then Mrs. Timley made her prophecy, perhaps inadvertantly in- fluenced by several remarks Jean had made during the course of the evening. Why, Cap'n Dave, I see you here dressed all in flowing robes, yes, on a stage, and there's a crowd down below you. And here, see, there's a rooster crowing-there-see its tail-that means success! Jean nudged David surreptitiously. His face held a rapt and noble expression. Ruth smiled at him and nodded, pleased. Twenty- four Then Mrs. Timley sighed and began with arch solemnity, And now, C.ap'n Dave, I want to tell you-uh-perhaps you'd better tell him, Ruth. David glanced apprehensively at Jean. His decision to become an actor had been painstakingly concealed! That fortune, though .... Well, David, Ruth said, you know we're trying to get more people interested in the library. We've decided to give a play to raise money for new books, and you are our hero! David stared, and coughed wheezily to submerge a gasp. What do you think of that ? Mrs. Timley tittered triumphantly. Habitually amiable, David began to smile, although wryly. All of a gsudden he grinned-charmingly-and said, Well, Mrs. Timl9Y, my fortune's coming true. Early the next morning, Mrs. Timley moved briskly towards her din- ing room window. Parting the curtains a splinter's width, she watched. In the next garden, Jean was obviously weeding a flower bed. A jolting milk cart stopped in front of her door. But no David lingered to plan a stage career that morning. One of the town boys, who frequently helped in the dairy, jumped down unconcernedly, and swung out a can of milk. Such a morsel for the Wag-tongues! And so the town of Littlefield has solved its problem. For as Time brews bitterness of frustrated revolt and sentimentality, it will find an excellent successor to Mrs. Timley. Marie G. East, June, 1931. ELEGY Only the winds can tell what he was For the winds alone were his confidantes. . He would be free: yet none else could find To qualify. And so he told his emotion to the winds And cried aloud the strength of him And the swift blinding beauty that was his- And he whispered the self-contempt, and the Ashen emptiness-his due of life. . He would be free-He was alone, And pitying self, knew not, nor cared to know Whether his existence was but illusion, spun from the Ceaseless clamoring of his will. He stood erect- Grant him so much praise, 0 world who will not see Till it is too late--Grant him this, and let the rest remain In the mating of the winds-They, too, are free- Ruth Goldzweiga June, 1931. Twenty-five Sunset PEECHLESS with admiration, I stood in the midst of the long over- hanging clothes-lines of my backyard, gazing at the wondrous beauties of nature. Low in the horizon, just above Mrs. Trotsky's son's stockings, the warm-colored tones of Mr. Goldenbergsky's red B.V.D.'s glared forth. Far ahead, between the white fleecy folds of a bed sheet, fwashed in Rinsoj my eager eyes met the magnif-gee! that drop hit me full in the eye. Mrs. Wise should wring her clothes more carefully! Once more, the pleasant rays of the fast setting sun, shining through the moth-eaten petti- coat beside me, fell upon the dismal puddle below. Above, a blue, a very rich blue blanket, floated gently to and fro in the calm breeze from Mrs. Teitlebaum's electric fan, in time with the heavenly waltz from Mrs. Goldberg's radio. Yet my thoughts centered not on these trivial wonders of nature, but on the beautiful majestic sun, as it made its stately exit behind the blue hues of a sign advertising Flilt. Ah! for a sunset in a crowded backyard! Lillian Potkewitz, June, 1933. SENIORS JUMPING ROPE! Pvc oft been told, as most girls have, Do as the Seniors do! Be dignified, and more grown up, And quiet on the avenue. Don't shriek and jump or run and play, You're getting much too old. The Seniors never do, do they? They're not so rough and bold. And yet t'was just the other day, I saw, to my delight, The Seniors in the yard, at play, Screaming with all their might. In and out like Indians, they tore, Dodged about in every way. Those dignified, grown-up Seniors, Were jumping rope that day! Virginia Fischer, 1934. Twenty-six This Unemployment Situation E was selling apples, and she, oranges. Both of them were on 116th Street. Every day a coal black little negro boy could be seen along with him, and the father, for so he proved to be, tried to amuse him by making mud pies. Furtively she would glance at these two. One day the little boy was hungry and refused to fill himself up with apples. He made known his hunger in some very audible ejaculations. Sweetly she stepped over and handed him an orange. Ever since then those three have been the closest of friends, and I wasn't at all surprised to discover, a week later, that the two stands had merged. Shortly after, he and she were married, and now I find one stand and two persons less on 116th Street. This, I suspect, is how the unemployment situation is being solved. Florence S. Trubowitz, June, 1932. AN ANCIENT LADY Your voice is the monotonous stir Of wind among the reeds. And softly are your words Hung down, As fall the sower's seeds. Your muted voice holds only tones Of unobstrusive gray, Like music from a virginal That long had ceased to play. Marie East, June, 1931.

An Unmentioned Washington Y, g - N the name of the Muses of Travel and Truth, escent glimpses of Washington, not so apparent perhaps to the seeker of historical data, but im- pressions more persistantly remembered because they are momentary. 1. The Washington Monument. I entomb in my close walls The tourist of undaunted pep, Who scales my stony cupola By mounting STEP hy STEP. 2. Washington is truly a country city. You may pass countless crowded stores, and innumer- able tightly-packed houses in the residential sections, but still there persists a consciousness of ' the serene Potomac, and of the nearness of hills and trees, and of the spaciousness of the sky. On the main thoroughfares, which radiate from the Capitol like the spokes of a gigantic wheel, there are structures quite as high as some in New York, but they are so fre- quently of sheer white that they make no shadowy canyons of the streets below. 3. When we visited the Corcoran Art Gallery we were drawn to inspect some groups of sculpture, including statues of Apollo and Hermes, and their companions of mythology, to whom we are so often and so urgently referred. In a room a little withdrawn from their society, we came upon the immense statue of the Puritan, a copy of the one by St. Gaudens, which is in Massachusetts. We liked the Puritan for the unexpected kindness in his stern face. Despite the strictness of his life, and the maturity of his bearing, he had an air of freedom! 4. Walking up the wide flight of steps before the Lincoln monu- ment, we saw the face of Lincoln- bronze at first, and indistinct-but growing clearer and more gentle, hewn in white marble, the kind and gracious spirit that was his.

The gathering was under the auspices of a patriotic society interested in preparing SPONGE OR women to vote. Of the four oflicers seated upon the RADIUM platform three were graduates of the Girls' High School. Mrs. Samuel P. Ward, the first president of the Parents' Association connected with this school, in a conversation with the principal recently, commented upon the fact that so many women active in Parents' Associations as members or oflicers are Girls' High School graduates. Mrs. Ward mentioned one residing in the Bronx as well as several others, especially Mrs. Cleveland Edwards, Vice-President of the United Parents' Association. Now this is as it should be. An education should not only prepare its recipient to be good, but to be good for something. A purely selfish individual acquiring an education is like a sponge always absorbing, but never giving out, save under pressure. An education may make the learner learned, but it fails of its purpose if it fails to make the learner a helpful member of society. There are so many opportunities in women's work, social, philanthropic, political, religious, all calling for educated leader- ship. Society needs to have its standards upheld and its ideals promul- gated, its customs defended, and intelligent women are necessary to achieve these ends. The body politic needs forceful educated women to realize political ideals, and society, which taxes itself for public education, has a right to demand educated leadership as an investment upon the vast, sums paid for education. Will you be a sponge or a bit of radium? Dr. William L. Felter. Firty-five It is our pleasure to re-establish a custom fallen into disuse, and to reset a precedent neglected for many terms. Our belief is that the practise of having an editorial page was abandoned because ARIA of the unfounded notion that students lacked any interest in DA CAPO itg but, since your pride and our conceit prevent either of us from admitting any such thing, it is our secret theory that the editorials lacked an interest in the students. To revert to that ancient idyll of our youth, the nursery rhyme, we do not propose to emulate the old woman tossed high in a basket to sweep the cobwebs away from the moon. We wield no heavy brush of reform, but merely suggest that there may be a faint necessity for editorials. For instance, this necessity may be made apparent through the following sample. Creak-Thrump-Thur-rump-et cetera. An infrequent visitor might possibly connect the measured beat with Schumann's two grenadiers, but any well-informed person would realize immediately THE CAP that it is but the vigorous accompaniment afforded by some THAT FITS idle spectators at an assembly, to the speaker of the day. Unfortunately, all topics have not universal appeal. But it is a fine thing indeed for a speaker to attempt to transmit his enthusiasm in a subject to others who have not yet explored that particular iield. His is a sincere effort to interest. His knowledge may open new vistas of culture to some fellow-student, laboring to hear. Surely you recall, how at the very moment you most wished to hear, there was a neavy tapping under someone's chair, and seats creaked audibly.

Fi fty-six PIIET ' C0llNlill It was many years ago, when I was teaching in the Annex of the Girls' High School, that the idea occurred to me, of founding among the girls a club for the reading of good literature. They were first year pupils, those charter members, selected from various sections because of their possessing the rare quality of intellectual curiosity. It was my description of Westminster Abbey and the pictures I displayed that de- termined them to be known as The Poets' Corner. It is pleasant to know that the club contained a vital spark which has enabled it to continue to the present day. It is interesting, too, to learn that the members are turning to creative work in connection with their reading. To fill a page of The Blue and Gold is surely a worthy ambition, and is doubly gratifying to me because I was the adviser of the group of girls who founded The Blue and Gold. So it is with a lively interest and with warmest good wishes that, from Julia Richman High School, I send my greetings to those members of my Alma Mater who are concerned in the Poets' Corner of The Blue and Gold. Rowena Keith Keyes, Chairman, Department of English, Julia Richman High School. INUTTERANCE Dark-skinned maiden with the dancing eyes, Why do you speak so thinly, painfully? Your voice should stand out full with rich warmth As golden-hued asters cloaked with dew.

The Dramatic Society is looking particularly angelic and grateful these past few months, and for a good reason, too. The financial returns from the Mikado production were so successful that The Dramatics Society was able to start on a much cherished project, that is, the founding of a dramatics section in the library, composed of the best books on the theater. It is hoped that this library will be of much help to the various divisions around stunt time. The Society has likewise done much to encourage research among its own members by visiting diiferent theaters in New York. Recently it paid a visit to the Davenport Free Theater to see Sir Henry Irving's The Bells, and it is planning to visit Station WJZ in the near future. The following are the casts for the Settlement Club plays: for All on a Summer's Dayn by Colin Campbell Clement, One, Marjorie Fleissg '4Two, ' Olga Muzyka, '6Three, ' Audrey Wredeg 4'Mammy, Laura Cole- man, for Triiles by Susan Glaspellg County Attorney, Sylvia Divinskyg Sheriff, Kathleen Irving Mr. Hale, Betty Lulince, 6'Mrs. Halef' Ma1'ie Fi fty-eight Eastg Mrs. Peters, Florence Meltzg for the faculty play A Terribly Exciting Aiair in One Act by A.

I am another Lind, another Bernhardt, another Duse, another Garbo Cin embryol. I am a member of the Dramatics Society-I am an actress!

The memory of that ordeal in the auditorium, stammering my little piece, then running the gamut of emotions in the privacy of the Rest Room!

The spot- light makes your eyes tear, perspiration and greasepaint ooze down your neck, your throat is parched, your heart beats furiously, and why? oh Why? is your memory failing at this crucial moment? Soon, however, you regain your bearings, and act Cyou hopej with the finesse of a veteran. On with the show! NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES The dramatic tryouts will be held toward the end of the term. You are advised to choose a two minute selection from a Shakespearian or other play and to prepare it in a manner best calculated to show your acting ability. Diana Hirsh. NPETER IBBETSONW Peter Ibbetson as a play taken from the Du Maurier novel of the some name, almost manages to surpass the book in dreaminess. Its theme is too well known to bear much repetition. Suiiice it to say that it is the story of a young man and woman, who, separated in life, manage to find each other when they dream true. Dennis King as Peter is a romantic and charming young man. Jessie Royce Landis plays the part of the Duchess of Towers as though in a daze, whereupon the play becomes for us an elusive, gliding phantasy, very lovely and very soothing, which makes Peter Ibbetson an ideal play for a warm evening in June.

Truth and beauty,-scorned by youth, but lost by age! What place has a person with ideals in this world? Yet, one must live on. And so the very young are gradually stripped of their high standards, and left bared to the cynicism of the old youth. To these light-seekers, the House Beautiful is the sturdy raft that bears their burden till their ship comes in. Its simplicity and sweetness of thought refresh one. To think that there are others on this earth with lofty sentiments !-Can it be that the rest of the audience are harboring similar thoughts? Perhaps they too must wear masks before the world. Now they shed them,-applaud furiously for the lovely Jennifer who sees in Archie her knight, Lancelot, Galahad, Arthur--all. What would her life have been without her ideals?

Alison's House Alison's House, which, after a season at the Civic Repertory, has been awarded the Pulitzer prize, is, in brief, the life story of Emily Dickin- son, or, as we learn of her in this, the most recent of Susan Glaspell's plays, Alison Stanhope. Unless the discovery, in the third act, of a great number of Alison's poems may be considered a theme, Alison's House is unique in that it possesses nothing of the sort. Though we meet not Alison, but her descendants, the play is permeated so deeply with her spirit that her presence before us becomes an actuality. Josephine Hutchinson as the straight-laced Louise presents in a comparatively in- significant role one of the finest performances of the entire play. Reviewed by Vera Liebert, June, 1932. Sixty ANNEXL NOTEQ The Annex girls are very proud of the fact that they won a prize at the recent Stunt Contest. All the costumes and scenery were made by themselves and the total cost was only eleven dollars. The first third terminated quite successfully for some of the Annex- ites. The following girls received four honors: Anita Berenbach, Marjory Abrahams, Jacqueline Greenfield and Jean Yatrofsky. The Annex has an especially clean atmosphere as a result of the strenuous eiforts put forth during Clean-Up Week. The Maroon Ties have planned a Masquerade Party for Regents Week and so are eagerly looking forward to the week which most nf us dread. Note: The goldfish in the oflice expressed a desire to be remembered to their friends at the Main. ARCHAEOLOGY T looks as though some of the Annexites may become archaeologistsg in fact they have already made a beginning. A group of girls from Room 6 took a trip up to the Annex Attic and found a lot of historic evidence. The building, as everyone knows, is very old, having been built in Revolu- tionary times. History tells us that it was originally a real little red school- house. Every day children of the ,74's and '75's went there to school. But during the war the British troops took possession of the building and used it as a place in which to house their more noted prisoners, who were confined to the upper part or attic of the building. They were chained there for days and days. They had nothing to do but keep the rats company and think of how the war was progressing, ...... . Marjorie D. Abrahams, January, 1935. Sixty-one O-n-V-e-1-o-p-e ALLY was bewildered. It was unusual for George, whom she had known as a jolly classmate since childhood, to be so quiet, and she decided to discover the cause, if she could. Knowing George's nature, she merely sat still on the porch of the hotel where they were all staying, and looked at him, expecting him to explain any minute. She didn't have long to wait. Sally, said he, you were always a good pal, and now, Pve a con- fession to make, hoping you can help me out of my latest fix. You see, he began, last night it was so hot in my bedroom, that I got up, and dressed only in my pajamas, went outside, intending to stroll about on the lawn until it became cooler. I walked around for a few minutes, and then started towards the house. Suddenly, without the slightest warning, I felt a gun against my ribs. Straining my eyes, I made out the dim outline of a man. 'Well,' I said, trying to seem at ease, 'what's up?' 6 'Plenty,' was the answer in a voice I immediately recognized as be- longing to a flashy gentleman, rooming in this hotel, 'and if you know the meaning of M-U-M, and will just stay right here, and keep a lookout for sleep-walkers and anyone else who should happen along, you'll get a thousand smackers. I was still half asleep, and I said yes. I don't know how they found the combination to the safe, but in ten minutes I struck a match and looked at what had been given me-sure enough, it was a one-thousand dollar bill. '61 went upstairs, took a shower, and tried to fall asleep, but the shower merely cleared my brain, and, for the first time, I realized what I had done. Now, you see Sally, it has been on my conscience all night and Pd try hard to make those two crooks return their shares and help me return my share, except that they threatened to 'snitch that I was an accomplice? Please, Sally, forget that I have told you anything. So saying he jumped up and was about to leave, when Sally quickly asked, Who was that man, George, Mr. Porter? Yes, he replied, and was gone. Sally arose and went up to her room. With her small portable S ixty-two typewriter, she typed a few lines on two blank sheets of paper. One, she put in an envelope which she firmly sealed. The other she attached to the envelope with a clip. It read- Bell-boy, Give this to Mr. Porter. No one else. Never mind who sent it. Here is a dollar tip. This she left where the bell-boy was sure to find it. Then she went into her room and watched through the keyhole. Before long she noted, with satisfaction, that the bell-boy had picked it up. Mr. Porter could hardly believe his eyes and had to read the note in his hand twice, before he could fully comprehend its meaning. Mr. Porter, You are discovered. Unless you and your Ctwoj accomplices put all of the money you took into an onvelope and put it under the first cushion to the left side in the sofa near the door, by five-thirty o'clock this evening, you shall be turned over to the police. Signed- The Shadow. Mr. Porter glanced at the clock. It was four-thirty. He had one hour to decide. He called his room-mate. Well, what do you say? he asked. Pm not yellow, replied the room-mate. But, said Porter, if all of the money is not there we'll be locked up, and Pm going to return mine. Well, let's see what that young guy has to say about it. Majority rules. When George was told, naturally he asked to see the note. He handed his share of the money to Porter. After supper George invited Sally for a ride. After riding in silence for a while, he stopped the car. How did you have the nerve to do it? he exclaimed. George! how do you know? I knew it was you, Sal, he replied. Do you think Pd give that money to any blackmailer? But how? she persisted. '6You always did spell envelope 0-N-V-E-L-O-P-E.
