She enjoys swim- ming and hockey. She has served as editor of both Eight Acresi' and of l'leave-Ho. Her pet peeve is sham in any form. She is always attractively dressed and we shall never forget her gay, vivacious manner. Most of all we shall remem- ber her beautiful hazel eyes. Her ambition is to be a medical laboratory technician, but she says her ultimate goal is marriage.

She is interested in sports, but enjoys watching more than playing. Her ability as an actress has been shown in the plays presented by the Speech Class, of which she is a member. Joy's future seems to be pretty well decided as evi denced by that sparlcler she has sported on her left hand. Ss X Jfu MQW -RN' of 77 N XXQ 1 ' X f if x wi N M X 3' V ff! 3 , .

Her work in photographing school activities has been outstanding. Jean is honest in her convic- tions and holds tenaciously to her ideas and ideals.

Her ccmbination of natural ability and zeal for draw- ing should bring her marked success. Her frivolous witticisms and her unpredictable personality will make her long a favorite with all privileged to know her. Page Z2 IH J . .- in . I . 1 Y u . 4 I 10' .

Sue will always be remembered by her many Holland Hall admirers for her radiant smile and her poise as 1953 Christmas Queen.

We have concentrated on all phases of reading individual scores of extra books read having been recorded in stars. Trips to a grocery store and a farm have stimulated our interest in numbers and in our community while our rock and leaf collections have created a desire for additional learning. A new gym program was introduced at midterm with boys and girls together under the direction of ack Davenport. We have participated in many special days. Field Day we sold chocolate milkg Halloween we wore costumes and visited other roomsg Thanksgiving we had a room partyg and Christmas we sang in the Lower School program. The last event of ihe year was our annual May Fete.

'1i71M W Sheila Reilly Editor Is the real meanmo of Christmas being slowly destroyed in this country by the commercialization of that very solemn and holy fest val Christmas Day? Perhaps we don t realize that we are forgetting the real meaning of Christmas Christmas Day nineteen hundred and fiftv three years ago ts as he day on which esus Christ was born into the world Or perhaps we do remember this and are How many of us think of Christ in that respect, or for that matter how many of us think of Him at all on Christmas Day or during the season preceding Christ mas? Lets face it Not xery many of us think of our Heavenly Father at all at Christmastime We think mostly of the popular Santa Claus We must admit that Christmas is becoming too much commercialized for our own good The old spirit and method of celebrating Christmas have been almost entirely forgotten Nowadays we open our presents, eat a big turkey dinner and then probably start out on a round of parties What about the old holiday song fests what about the manger scenes that used to receive a place of honor and adoration in our living rooms what about the old idea of going to church in the morning and afterwards spending the day at home with our fam lies? Is it outmoded? Are we too modern and progressive in our ideas to have a reserent attitude toward Christmas? We are not devout in our approach towards Christmas We have allowed the season to become almost entirely commercialized We see it in the Christmas deco rations extravagantly displayed in downtown stores and streets even before Thanks giving We see it in the multitudinous Santa Clauses who line the streets begging for alms shattermg even the children s dreams of the one Santa Claus We see it in the lyrics of modern day Christmas songs We see this alarming fact proved everywhere we look at Christmastime Yes Yuletide is a time when it is right for people to rejoice and be happy and to remember their friends with gifts. Therefore let us rejoice let us give and receive gifts and let us follow the American tradition of having a Santa Claus. But let us not forget the true deep meaning of Christmas. Let us not allow Santa Claus to take the place of esus in our hearts!

rather recent novel The Robe by Llovd C Douglas was wrutten un response to Hazel Mccanns unquury as to what happened to the Robe whuch Chrust had worn durung Hus lufe upon earth Lloyd C Douglas has wrutten many other well known books uncludung Forguve Us Our Trespasses and The Bug Pusher man whuch was wrutten as a sequel to The Robe after the Amerucan publuc was so enthralled wuth ut The story opens wuth Lucua s comung out of the house and strollung un the garden The slave Demetruus came toward the lovely daughter of the senator and when she saw hum she asked hum to go to hus master Trubune Marcellus Galluo and bud hum joun hus suster un the garden for breakfast Lucua was worrued thus partucular mornung because her brother Marcellus had just unsulted Prunce Gauus and yester day her father Senator Galluo had spoken agaunst Prunce Gauus un the senate To make her troubles worse last summer he had trued to force hus love and affectuon on her but she had ummeduately rejected hum When Marcellus arruved he seemed un the best of spuruts As he was tellung her what had happened the nught before she grew more and more apprehensuve for fear somethung would happen to hum A short tume later Marcellus receuved hus commussuon from Prunce Gauus He was to be sent as commander at Fort Munoa Marcellus dud not seem dusturbed when he heard the news but Senator Galluo was very greatly upset for he knew of Fort Munoa It was a vullaunously durty port cuty of Palestune It was a place where the ofhcers of the state sent people who had commutted a crume almost as seruous as murder If men were sent to Fort Munoa very few ever came back Prunce Gauus had almost condemned Marcellus to hus death Seldom had one man ever been un command of the fort for more than five to ten years The men quarreled constantly among them selves for lack of anythung else to do As Marcellus was packung to leave he offered hus Corunthuan slave Demetruus hus freedom Demetruus was so loyal to hus master that he gave up thus chance of freedom and saud that he would travel wuth hus master wherever he went On Mar cellus seventeenth burthday the day he was to become a man accordung to Roman law Senator Galluo hus father had guven hum the slave Demetruus He receuved a message from Deme truus that Duane chuldhood playmate of Lucua and now a mature young woman was wautung for hum un the garden Delughted he went quuckly to joun her and claspung Duanes hand tughtly un hus own they quuetly talked for a few hurrued moments Then Duane left quuckly and hlarcellus boarded shtp sad to be leavung Duane but knowung that he must guve her up temporaruly He knew that ut would have been more paunful uf he had made any promuses He mught never return home Wfhen Marcellus and Demetruus reached Fort Nlunoa they found that the solduers had luttle respect for theur new com mandung ofhcer Establushung duscuplune would be the furst step un reorganuzung the fort That nught there was a faght between Paulus commander of the fort and hlarcellus un whuch hlar cellus won and proved hus leadershup abuluty After Marcellus had been at the fort for a year he learned that ut was time for the ewush Passover un erusalem Thus proved to be about the only duversuon he had had so far so he decuded to go to erusalem Marcellus accompanued by Demetruus and a group of men reached erusalem un tume for the begunnung of the Passover MISS HOLLAND HALL December, 1953 ' ,I 'TMQ1 1 we ROW A Book 11166 PW' yOU oe Whxle hus master was settlung down Demetruus mmgled un the crowd Suddenly he notuced that a crowd was gatherung up ahead and he pushed hus way through to see what was goung on There he caught hus furst glumpse of esus The crowds were spreadung palm leaves before Hum thlnkung that befittung a kung But esus was not happy He dud not want to be kung He just wanted to guude the people unto beung leaders them selves Demetruus followed the multutude as they gathered more and more quuckly As he was walkung along he saw the young ews troubled eyes travel over the crowd and rest on hum esuss eyes seemed full of apprausal Ir was then that Demet ruus felt the begunnung of the strange power the ew seemed to have over hum At the end of the Passover Marcellus was ordered by Pulate to kull a young ew esus who had gone unto a ewush temple and druven out all the money changers and bargauners Thus dud not seem to Marcellus to be a crume punushable by death but he had to obey orders Marcellus had never wutnessed got Marcellus so untoxucated that he dud not realuze the full extent of what he was doung Demetruus was suck at heart when he came by chance upon the trual of esus He then realuzed that ut was the same young ew who had held the strange power over hum and who now was on trual for hus lufe Later Marcellus was forced unto wearung the robe whuch the solduers had gambled for whule wautung for Chrust to due He was so stunned by the effects of puttung on the robe that when he receuved the news that he mught go he couldn t fully com prehend the meanung of the message Wfhen Nlarcellus and Demetruus reached home Demetruus had the paunful task of explaunung to hlarcellus famuly and

passed and grew unto months Demetruus was becomlng frantuc for Marcellus was xn an unchanged state of mund Demetruus decided that there was only one resort left He would show Nlarcellus the robe agaun but unstead of shock mg hum out of the state of mund he was un ut seemed to un crease hus agutatuon Demetruus took the robe and put ut back un hus room and left Marcellus could no longer fught the per

Last summer I entertained an out- of-town guest. She cordially invited me to visit her during the coming Christmas Vacation. My mother says I may go.

A Accept nothing but orchids The word orchid doesnt necessarily mean purple Heavens no' There are green and brown and yellow orchids Oh my child there are so many colors and white will go with any formal ust make orchids your theme song and let your date sell pencils on the corner lf need be ust keep in mind that he s the lucky one lucky that you even accepted his date WANTED A field trip Seniors Brighter Chem class Miss Moulton lNlore willpower Diggers Straight As A More money making projects umors Lots of funny stuff Heave H0 Rmg Man umors Bug bomb for Span II pests Wonder who?

N . - . y - MY READING IN REVIEW By Kay Stover fGrade 111 One day when I was about four years of age I went run nmg to my mother with the news that I could read Holding the book before me I began to recite, Mary had a little lamb When I finished I sand, not realizing that the book was up side clown, See thats what the book says Mother had to explain that the poem had been read to me so often that I knew It by heart and couldn t reallY Wad at all I was finally satisfied with her explanation but I felt crushed for a while Somehow I expected to start ln the first grade on one day and be able to read the newspaper on the next Needless to say it was disappointing when the first week s labor ended and Look look ane and See Dick run were the most complx cated sent nces I could struggle through The first book I remember reading for myself other than Dick and jane was Pokey Little Puppy I read this book over and over until I knew ll word for word There was some thing tragic about the plight of this poor puppy he missed his dessert when he was late getting home Rice pudding was QI can see the illustration yetl and my heart bled for Pokey every time I read 1 I was xntroduced to Laura Lee Hopes Bobbsey Twins when I was in the third grade About the same time my 1unt gave me a subscription to Children s Playmate Magazine and I became a fan of the continued story My two best friends and I used to talk nothing else Every day we discussed the l1test Bobbsey book and thrashed out new developments in our mystery storv Along in the same general period of Bobbseys and con tinted thrillers I re1d my first tragedy Mother c1me into my room to fund me dissolved in tears The book was Captain anuary which in truth was not particularly sad but at the time the thought of 1ny little girl without 1 mother was more than I could be1r Since I wouldn t listen when she told me it was just a story she trled to convince me that xt was really much too dxfhcult 1nd that I should put the book 1w1y 1nd come b1ck to it later I did this 1nd Im glad bec1use I didn t cry the next time Well I didn t cry nearly so much I spent my every minute while 1t home buried in 1 book but 'at school re1dmg w1s my pet peexe Oh how I h1ted to have to listen to some dumb kxd stammer through a few p1r1gr1phs when I was just dying to hnd out how the story ended' I would begin to re1d 1 little 1he1d 1nd then 1 little more and then suddenly Kay Stover The teachers voice would ring out loud and clear 1nd I would look up to End her gl1r1ng 1t me XV1th 1 trlumph1nt note in her voice she would boom You ye lost the place again havent you I dont see why you cant keep up wlth the rest of the cl1ss Keep up I thought to myself bitterly Im six p1ges ahead of those slowpokes who know the place With a sxgn of exasperatlon the teacher would direct the angelic child in front of me to indicate the place Turning around with a smug 1nd superior 1tr Little Sm1rtv Brntches would point her skinny forefinger at the place ln my book and imitating the teacher she would sigh Right there Not sufficiently embarrassed by one such occurrence I had to be reminded 1g11n 1nd 1g11n This seemed to gr1te on the MISS HOLLAND HALL December, 1953 moi teachers nerves, though I cant imagine why This annoymg habit stayed with me for many years but fortunately we moved around a good bit, and consequently before any teacher got her fill of me we had moved on for me to annoy another con scxentnous pedagogue During the next years I read everything and anything I dont recall going through the horsy stage or the doggy stage as so many children do but I had a passion for books about pioneers and twms Until I was in the nznth grade it never occurred to me that I should read any special type of book Imagine my surprise when I was informed that every book I had ever read was a cream puff I decided then and there to make up for my past laziness I plunged into a pile of classics and hard books as a sort of pumshment for myself To my xmmense surprise and delight I found reading these books a pleasure .instead of a chore An indescribable feeling of satisfaction followed the reading of each new book Today one of my chref delights is to browse through a book store or a library pick out a book here and there, and add lf to my fast growing collection From the wide range of txtles now found on my shelves I am not sure whether I am fast becoming a bxbhomanxac or remaining a simple maniac OIL HOLDS A FUTURE FOR YOU By Norma Wolff fGrade 123 Tuesday the thirteenth of October, was set aside this year for O11 men and women for a day Twenty three different oil firms were the hosts to groups of the 178 seniors who rep resented all the schools in Tulsa The affair was sponsored by the Desk and Derrick Club and the O11 Progress Committee of the Tulsa Ch1mber of Commerce This was part of Oil Progress Week Each firm had 1n interesting program for the d1y giving an idea of what their business covers and information on the oil industry in general The Service Pipeline Comp1ny was my host for the dav along with nineteen other seniors We were divided into smaller groups and each group was taken through different p1rts of the building Our group first s1w the mtrxc1te c1lcul'1tmg m1chmes th1t save m1ny hours of work These m1chxnes calculate the 1mount of oll sent in by 1 producer and the amount of money owed him This is 111 done in 1 m1tter of minutes Next we s1w the clraftmg room where blueprints are made and witnessed demonstr1t1on of oil well safety devices More than 400 people were present at the Crystal Ballroom of the Mayo I-Iotel for the luncheon which was next on our schedule Mrs Ruth Sheldon Knowles gave an interesting talk entitled The Greatest Show on Earth in which she com pared all the unknown but important workers that help to put on a circus to the various men connected with the oil industry from the roustabout to the top executive Mrs Knowles brought out the opportunities open to those wishing to enter the oxl lndustry We then returned to the Service Pipeline Building where we viewed a second film depicting another phase of oxl production A question and answer period closed a most enjoyable and instructive day 17 , , . . , . 1 1 1 , 1 ' 1 u - as .

They now have 100 points toward the Athletic Cup awarded at the end of the year. In the first game, the Wanatas showed superb coordination. Jill Kreager's balls that streaked by the plate made many outs. Trish McClintock at short stop, and blary MacKay at first base were a great combination that showed the Sakawas just what they were up against. The Sakawas bowed to the Xvanatas, 14-6. After a pep talk from Jackie Lair, their captain, the Sakawas really began to bounce back. They made many hits and even a couple of homers. Ann Winters at first base showed great catching ability along with Jackie Lair's swift pitching. The game was a struggle until the finish, but the Sakawas came out on top, 11-10. Both teams were gunning for the third game. The Sakawas sparkled in the field, but the Wanatas showed them up at bats and downed them. 17-13. The Wanatas needed only to win the fourth game to clinch those 100 points toward the Athletic cup! But they just couldnt seem to outplay those furious Sakawas. The Sakawas socked their balls out of reach of the Wanata mitts and tied up the series with a victory of 9-6. Now it was two games for both teams and the fifth game seemed pretty much a toss up. The Wfanata catcher, Jolene Haynes, caught numerous Saltawa flies behind the dusty plate and helped her team to win the fifth and last game. All in all, it was a great softball season, and hearty con- gratulations go to those powerful Wanatasl ASSEMBLIES Wfe have had two interesting speakers in our assemblies: Miss Anne Schlosser who spoke to us about Mary Baldwin College, located in Staunton, Virginia, and Mrs. Sam Lacy who discussed the Civil Defense Control of Tulsa. Mr. Stefan Bardas brought delight to us with his piano playing. His name is on the Steinway Artists List. He has studied in Rome and has given concerts in Europe as well as in this country. He is now a professor of piano at Tulsa Uni- versity. CHAPEL SERVICES Dr. David Wesley Soper was our guest minister on October Zl. He came to us from Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin. He was here as one of the speakers for the jurisdictional Con- vocation of Church School W'orkers and was brought to us through the courtesy of Dr. Lemuel Fenn, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Tulsa. He conducted a question and answer period similar to that which he frequently conducts on television. VUe were fortunate in having as a guest minister at our chapel services of October 28, the Reverend Nlr. William S. Finclley, pastor of the John Knox Presbyterian Church. Rev- erend Mr. Findley's topic was prayer which he compared to speaking to a very close friend or relative. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1953 53 ' Simi! MARSHA LACKEY CHRISTMAS QUEEN CHOSEN Each year a queen is chosen from the junior class to preside over Holland l'lall's Christmas festivities and to reign during the ensuing year. The election is by secret ballot on the part of the entire Upper School. This year, Marsha Lackey, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs, W. G. Lackey, was selected. Marsha's crowning took place at the close of the Upper School candle- light carol service, on Thursday, December 17. Marsha was crowned by the 1952 Christmas queen, Sue Franklin. Following the ceremony. Sheila Reilly, president of the Upper School student council, and Carol Seidenbach, president of the Lower School student council, presented the queen with the money gift for the maintenance staff, and the money raised by the students for their annual Christmas philanthropy. The students decided this year to donate an electric sewing machine to St, John Vianney Home for Girls. 19 ,AL-eV THE SURVIVAL FOR LIFE By Marsha Lackey fGrade 117 Twas a bright glnstenmg morn and the grass was stxll wet Not a soul nn the house had arlsen as yet When through sleep fllled eyes I mtnessed the birth Of a new baby colt who had just come to earth As he wobbled and stretched to llft h1s wee ee I saw what had happened IU utter defeat H1s mother was sull and dld not moye an mch And all to be heard was the sound of the flnch The baby colt walted for has mother to nelgh It s all rlght my dear m the comfortmg way H15 ears stralned to hear a sweet word from the mare But no message came forth from the mother so falr I hurrned to the scene of the mnghtv dxsaster And as I ran my tears flowed faster and faster My thoughts were all muddled I was bewtldered and scared And I knew that my grxef by the small colt was shared Thmkmg clearly was hard at that moment to do But deep m my mmd one conclusion I drew My duty was clearly to raxse hlm but how I rushed to the house to see what I could get There I found baby bottles and a formula set I sterxlxzed the bottles and warmed them as well Then filled them wlth mllk as best I could tell I knelt down beslde hxm and raxsed up hrs hp And squeezed mto hrs mouth a nour1sh1ng drip He then became ravenous and grabbed for hls food But I fed htm gladly understanding hls mood He survnved well the day but the night came on fast And hxs fewer arose as expected at last Fast asleep 1n the hay he breathed heavv and slow And I was not sure whether he d lxve or go He lived through the night and lmproved after that After feedmg on a baby bottle he grew qu1te fat He became tame and gentle and thoroughly spollecl But thxs gave me comfort for the hours I had tolled Hts beauty xncreased as the older he grew And he was much wiser at the age of two The end of thus story brought sorrow to me He lived well and happy tnll he became three Then an accxdent fatal jolned mother and colt He jumped into a fence scared by a loud thunderbolt His memory remams dearly fixed ln my mmd And I know I shall never see another so kmd Faxrles faxrles flyxng so Up above the treetops go Falrxes faxrxes ln the sky They are tmy but can fly Kathy Green and Ann Brlce fGrade lj 20 A DAY IN MY LIFE By oann Fenton fGradc Ill Each mornxng at seven from my bed I arlse Clad ln brlght red pijamas wlth sleep xn my eyes I laborlously dress with one eye on the clock ulckenxng my pace mth each resoundmg tlck tock Nly breakfast I swallow at record breakmg speed And to no reprlmand do I gtye any heed For Mlss Sharp s good humor I try hard to please Smce she gnves tardy persons detentlons wxth ease As I rush from the house to my books I cling fast Arrlvxng at school as the bell rmgs xts last Spamsh my flrst class gnves me trouble no end To the crazy mixed up words my ears do not lend On Vergll s Aeneld differ my teacher and I But admxt Ill have to that Aeneas was some guy' For Engllsh each week I must work up a theme Upon all but my own the teacher does gleam My talents he not in the Journallst s held Though a work of real genius Im expected to yield Most always ln Algebra I work xn a daze Undaunted and steadfast neath the teacher Clark gaze Two forty Five Ends me hastemng towards home Where for the next half hour through the xcebox I roam I tackle my homework smce knowledge I need Then rush to my dmner and eat nt wlth speed With an orange nn one hand and xn the other a pen I gather my textbooks and retire to the den Whth vigor I study my subjects all four And much later emerges my head through the door The rest of the house lh cold darkness does he For already too swxftly the day has slipped by In sxlence I head for my room down the hall Once more mto bed xn red pajam1s I crawl REMAINS OF CHRISTMAS By Peggy Seay 1Grade 93 Deserted forgotten a lonely green tree Was left txll the hght was qulte gone- The trlmmlngs now broken a showptece destroyed A remnant of yesterdays dawn Its splendor of ornaments one day ago Was admxred by the people who passed An oddly coiled wlre caused a small burs of flame Now aside only ashes are cast WIN LER By Sandv Wark fGrade 43 Wmter lS here and the flowers are gone Vxolets and roses and daffodlls too And all the leaves have covered the ground Under my feet they give a crlsp sound As I walk through the park the wmd blows hard And It makes me hurry for my own back yard When I get 1n the house I call to my dog We s1t down by the fire to watch a blazing log I drmk some hot cocoa and eat some fresh candy That warms me msxde and makes me feel dandy December 1953 MISS HOLLAND HALL L u y I E f 5 . . . . . y . , I H - Y Q 1' ' s .

SNOW FUN WEES By Ronda Cushing lGrade 43 lwifh APOIOSY fo .IOYC9 Kilmefl Once a little girl named Jane Was sitting by the window pane.

We've worked and we've learned, And now we have earned our senior rings. Oh, our friendships have always been true. We know they'll continue through All the years, when memories dear Pass through our minds. QTune : Seven Lonely Daysnl Eleven Seniors true Dressed up in white and blue Four such busy years Leave happiness, not tears. Now we have our rings At last our blazers, too. If we pass our finals, With High School we'll be through. Now our school days are over Boo, hoo, hoo, hoo! Though we deeply regret it, We're leaving you. For our hours of labor, And pleasure too, Holland Hall, we're singing Our thanks to you.

On January fifth, then, the annual Senior Assembly was held, in which the Seniors modeled their blazers for the rest of the Upper School. The blazers are identical to those of last year --white, piped in navy blue, with a navy Holland Hall crest. The senior mascot was also announced. The class chose a French poodle, and named it LA PETITE DIABLE'I'I'E. Norma Wolff's live poodle was used for the assembly. Beverly Manley, Senior prexy, and Norma Wolff, Class vice- president, read the class poem, containing a stanza about each senior, as that girl appeared in front of the stage curtains. The assembly was closed with the singing of the two class songs. 1954. They are as follows: color chosen by the class. 5. weather to study out-of-doors. 6. mission.

To Mrs. Rockwood we give our thanks, For putting up with all our pranks- Our friend throughout our senior year Whom we shall hold forever dear. Missy, our little ball of fire, Her life will never be a tire For she spreads joy throughout the school, To us she is a little jewel. Our little joy, so sweet and shy, Will always win her favorite guy. Full pert she is, as she is small, We're glad she came to Holland Hall. So fair and kind, our beautiful Sue Has hair of luscious golden hue. To our Christmas Queen of a year gone Shall we never have to say good-bye. Who is our artist expert here? For whose success need we not fear? She's one who'll someday bring us fame Adept Jean Conway is her name. Sheila we will always praise- A worthy leader and born to raise All men to understanding wide. In her success we take great pride. Who in the kindest words can say The things that cheer us day by day? 'Tis thoughtful Norma-who has sowed Through school, glad sunlight pure as gold. Quite petite and so elite Big brown eyes, so soft and deep- Betty with her generous heart Will never fail to do her part. Beverly is a comely lass Who has the humor of our class, Hallways ring out with her laughter Hearts will cherish her hereafter. The lovely Venus, Jackie Lair, Whose crowning glory is her hair Was given brains as well as grace. In all our hearts she holds high place. Never a cross word has she to say- Happy-go-lucky from day to day- Our little Linda is ever kindg The Golden Rainbow she'll someday find. Fair Rena Gene tops many a class As student and poetic lass. Since philosophy she'll even try, We'll long recall her frequent, Well, WHY? CContinuedj SAM THE FIRST VALENTINE By Ann Maness fGrade Ill The summer that I first met Sam he was 1 cheerful man of fxfty four while I was an awkward boy of thxrteen That was sxx years ago Every summer since the First year I went to vxsxt my Aunt Ann at her summer home 1n Southeastern Mxssourx every summer the htgh hght of my VISII was the tlme spent wtth Sam an tndlvlduallst optlmxst phllosopher who was 1lso her gardner He was a small agile man wnth graylng haxr and an old fashloned graymg mustache He was brown and wrxnkled from hns long years of workmg ln the sun Hts small bright blue eyes though they were rather near slghted perpetually mlled from force of hablt Hls small boned hands and grace fullv mos mg wrt ts were tanned and constantly busv workmg not wlth nervous energy but sxmply with energy He was always dressed tn wrinkled khakl trousers and a blue work shxrt Almost mvarlably he wore a hat too of mdescrxbable shape and tlred brown color Sam became a wonderful frxend to me He was the kmdest man I had ever known 1nd completely 1n 1nd1v1du1l1st He w1s happy lf he won someone s frxenclshlp but he would never alter hnmself to Ht anyone else s pattern of perfectxon He was not complacent snmply contented I spent my h1ppxest hours kneeling beside hum awkwardly trymg to help ID pullmg weeds transplantnng bulbs or domg whatever he happened to be domg There were other hours when we just sat together as frtends wxthout any pretense of work perhaps lazlly lounging ln the hot summer s sun on a htlltop or restxng after a htke m the coolness of a woods cle1r1ng Our favorxte relaxmg time was whnle fishing ln Stone s Throw Creek Then II was that we would talk and dream aloud I would tell htm how I was gomg to be famous someday a gre1t wrxter 1nd he would laugh good naturedly and encourage me to go n Sometimes we l 1d long wlnded discussions Sam would never c1ll them 1rg.1ments We would discuss 1ny subtect that I chose to brmg up Sam always t1kmg the opposttlon cheerfully speakmg tn a calm even voice The longer we dns cussed the surer I became that my vlews were completely rxght 1rd hxs completely wrong Eventually I came to reallze that this was his real purpose ln argumg against racxal tolerance for ex1mple or that money was the rultng power nn lxfe Durmg the wlnters I often thought about Sam and wtshed that I could see htm One wmter I wrote a long letter to htm and though I watted long and anxiously for hns answer none came The next summer at whnch t1me I w1s seventeen I asked hum why he had never wrxtten He turned and walked aw1y from me h1s eyes downcast and he dld not reply Aunt Ann told me that he could not wrxte although he could read fairly well To me that was a sign of gross ignorance espe cxally so slnce I was preparmg for college and a career nn your naltsm If only I could apologxze to Sam now for the foolish and snobbtsh way that I reacted I felt then th1t I had out grown hxm and that summer I rarely even spoke to hum At the time I never dreamed that ut might hurt hlm but rom remembertng I thxnk that lf dtd Last summer Aunt Ann mentxoned lh one Sam had qult his job Then for the first of her letters that time I began to reahze how great an xnfluence he had been on me and how great a person he was Now try as I may I c1n End no word of hum anywhere I have no idea where he ns Perhaps some where you wtll see htm or perhaps someday I shall see him agam I hope that I shall 20 By Lmda Donovan lGrade 123 Many of our holldays orlgxnated so far back that the reason for their exlstence ns found only 1n legends It IS from one of these legends that this story of the first Valent1ne has come to Us The txme was m1ny many years ago m a llttle Itallan town The warm breezes of early spring gently blew over the busy vxllages and surroundmg terram The breath of Sprmg was everywhere-everywhere except 1n a damp dreary prtson In the prxson lzfe barely exnsted The lazy guard rarely thought of feedmg the lnmates The one txme peace lovmg CIIIZBHS mxxed w1th hardened crxmmals seldom had ghmpses of the outsxde They could only count the days and xmagme the seasons These people were forgotten by all save the compasslonate old Father Luclus Hls beneflclent love for hls fellow man led hmm to perform 1 simple 1ct whxch brought the senttment of love 1h the shape of a heart Father LUCIUS took p1rchment whnch he cut xn the shap f hearts He painted these red and on them mscrxbecl beautxful verses of love and hope He dxstrlbuted them to the unfortun ate prlsoners thus addmg a spark of hght to thexr dlm and dark hves He contmued dolng thts for many years No one took partlcular notxce of the thoughtful deeds except the mmates who cherlshed them It could have been anyone of the prxsoners who passed these kmdly acts on to the outer world The result Father Luclus small tokens provided a simple means of expressmg a beautiful thought Thls lovely way was used years later on a day which we now call Valentlne s Day Thus day was observed m Medieval txmes nn England and drew names from an urn The person whose name one drew then became 1 Speclal frlend to whom love and BEECIIOH were shown Thxs day

Y 9 7 , . - April, 1954 - MISS HOLLAND HALL Beyond This Place, a novel written by Dr. A. Cronin, was published in 1950. Dr, Cronin, born in Cardross, Scotland, received his medical education at the University of Glasgow. After building up a successful practice in l.ondon's XVest End, an enforced vacation in 1930 gave him the long-awaited op- portunity to try his hand at writing. His first novel. Hatter's Castle, written in three months, has been compared with the work of Dickens and Hardy. Dr. Cronin now firmly estab- lished as a leading novelist has given up the practice of medicine and devotes all his time to writing Beyond This Place is the story of a boy and his father of loyalty and understanding and of passion and suspense It has a deep, important theme, rich in both drama and emotion a theme of injustice Paul Burgess was a happy young man, twenty years of age, and just out of college when first we meet him Paul lived with his mother His father, though he had been dead for many years, remained alive in Pauls memories His fondest recollections of his youth were of the times when his beloved father had taken him to esmond Dene, and there together they had sailed little paper boats Paul, who had been a most successful student, was eager to obtain his First teaching position The application for a summer teaching job called for a birth certihcate and becomes the beginning of all the struggles that Paul is to go through during the remainder of the book This application put an end to Pauls calm happy life and plunged him deep into a nightmare The blfth CEFIIHCSIC revealed the fact he was not Paul Burgess as he had always been led to believe, but Paul Mathry the son of Rees Mathry a convicted criminal sery .ing the fifteenth year of a life sentence in Stoneheath prison For fifteen years the case of Rees Mathry had been for gotten forgotten the Omclqls of lhe law 'Ind erased frorn the minds of those who had been close to him But now by the merest chance the Son of Convlcted murderer had discovered the odious crime and its blame seemed in a way to descend upon himself Overcome he W'4lS he accepted the decree of the law and acknowledged the fact thqf hls father Was a n1Ufderir Yet somehow almost against his will he felt compelled to seek out the circumstances of the awful deed Obsessed by his mad urge Paul left home and wandered slowly but steadily to Stoneheath At the moment when he saw those cold blank prison y alls the realization struck Paul full force that his father was buried aliye within thtm If ht was guilty Paul mused yyondtrtd that an innocent man had been subjected to mental and physical torture for fifteen years Hera Paul settled his course of action He must penetrate the stcrtts of the past Lpon arriying in XX ortlev the city where the crime had been committed Paul immediately nt t the city libra y where he began his perusal of tht long and sordid 'aewspiptr accounts of the trial He was sickened when in ont ol paper he came upon a picture of his father taken when he heard himself condemned Paul only faintly remembered his father but his picture of a dashing cleboiaair young man clashed with this strange yiew of a hunted criminal Guilty Paul decidtd in anguisl' Beyond the shadoi of a doubt X tt some doubt still remained and droye him to seek out the witnesses who had taken part in the trial Here Paul met with the hrst of the many ebuffs y hich were to come A maiority MISS HOLLAND HAII April, 194 v of the witnesses were either dead or had moved away to some distant place There were two people however, who helped Paul as best they could One was Albert Prusty a tobacconist in Wortley, who had first discovered the body of the murdered victim The other was Detective Inspector ames Swann, who had investi gated the case These men told Paul all the facts of the trial, and even some which had not been brought out in the trial This one point bothered Paul There seemed to be several important pieces of evidence which had been ignored if not deliberately during the judicial proceedings For the next few months Paul traced every small clue I was not an easy job for his name had made him a marked man, and the closer he came to the truth the more he was threatened and pressured from high places He soon realized, however, that there were reasons for this opposition Sir Matthew Sprott the Attorney General was not entirely sure that he had been right in his prosecution of Mathry and any publicity on the matter would surely ruin his chances in the coming elections Nevertheless Paul persisted in the face of the cruelest opposition and finally uncovered the full facts of the case At this point when he most needed help he met a man named l A Dunn a newspaper columnist who not only listened to his story but believed that there might be something to it After carefully checking Pauls facts Dunn started what might be called a crusade for justice in his daily column Before long the whole country was whispering the story and the officials seeing at last that they were licked issued a formal statement that Rees lVlathry would be free pending an investi cation of his case splte of Sprott s fttlings the Lt rds of the Court decided at the inquiry to release lVlathry unconditionally Great though Pau s happiness should hayc been now that his months of labor were oyer it was marred by the tremendous change that had taken place in his father Though he had expected a change Paul was not prepared far the bitterness which his father held for eyeryone He rt solytd now to make his father realize that all the world was not hostile to him and he felt greatly relieyed y hen at the end of the book his father said Paul do you remember when we used to sail paper boats on esmond Dene' This reyiewer liked Beyond This Place for its yiyid char acter portrayals but she did not like the
