- 1 W Q P Q - if - The paper was always well set up. This was particularly true of the E 5 editorial page, which was entirely free from advertisements and news articles. E E The front page, too, had a good balance each week. This balance varied : l weekly, and relieved, therefore, the monotony of the same set up issue after X E Q issue. Other mechanical features were also well attended to. The head- F ' lining was good, and the proof reading, despite the fact that there were more pages in an average issue this year than ever before, was up to par. The business board, led by Seymour Peyser, collected more money than has ever before been collected. It maintained a high class of advertising throughout. Cyrus Sulzberger, the Editor-in-Chief, performed his innumerable duties excellently. He was assisted by Jerry Danzig, Departmental Editor, and .J-Xa- R. D. Wolf, News Editor. Mr. Baruth acted as faculty adviser. -fs- Jxw .Jam ...., g... -.-fs... -.KN-.... 1-fs., td,--Q..- ...f-.- ,,--..-- ,.,,,,,.,,, One hundred one ...IX- ...J-'H-n..... ,..f-' ,.f-s..... ....-vs.. ...4-X., 1,-L, ,,.,,,,...,,-, x 1 I 1 I 1 1 l X . - , . 4 . 1 V I Z f K l N S X X, J r N L, l l X,

In the annual 54 Columbia Scholastic Press Contest it took second place against a formid able number of contestants. The success of the book was achieved mainly by the quality of the writing, although the new and impressive cover design helped greatly. There was the usual amount of average material, illuminated occasionally by some work of outstanding excellence. Most of the things printed were prose, there seemingly being a dearth of school poets. Looking down the tables of contents there can be found only four. Of these, only one was a steady contributor. The outstanding prose piece, not merely of the first issue, but of the first three, was William Ferris's essay, A Cat Looks at Kings. In this essay Fer- tis reviews the three most recent presidents of the United States. His terse, flowing, journalistic style alone would serve to make it worthy of attention, Ferris, however, combines with style a keen, mature insight, originality, and not a few touches of clever sarcasm. The other essay of the issue, Pforzheimer's The Martyr, fell somewhat short of the standard set by Ferris. It was written in a most disconnected style, and its humour was quite puerile. However, it certainly was an orig- subject. inal treatment of an original Kilcullen's study, Martin Horn, had a note of pathos in it, the effect of which was heightened by his excellent, restrained style. Lester MoHat's, A Passing Incident, claims the attention of the reader as a very original psy- mind. The unvaried, simple sentences of this chological study of a child's make it rather uninteresting, but as a whole add to the simplicity required in a thing of its sort. jerry Danzig's contribution, Quite Amusing, and Eu- gene Goldsmith's, Confession, were both stories of the cheap fiction type, wholly unworthy of the Quarterly except for their fluency of relation. Viereck, in his Salto Mortale, showed a remarkable plot sense, combined with a feeling for the old legendary style, which sets his story well above mediocrity. Sulzberger's poem, Poinsettia, is one of the best that he has done this year. It is a remarkable exponent of his strong feeling for the beauty of Nature. In his other piece, Indian Summer, one is a bit over-conscious of his choice of words, which is somewhat strained. Smith's Rain was a sooth- ing bit of verse, with a touch of philosophy, which added to its beauty. The issue's poetry was rounded out by a humorous selection by Victor Barnouw, entitled Vaudeville. This can best be praised by saying that it really was funny. The second issue of the Quarterly, in January, was decidedly the worst of the year. However, it proved to be no exception to the rule that no matter how bad an issue may be, there are at least some redeeming features in it.
