g Jim 1933 The Two essays were boTh abouT animals. lv1cGaTTin's essay was The more academic oT The Two, sounding like a Biology homework assign- menT, whereas l-lamilTon's sounded like an English homework assignmenT. The poems in The issue were boTh well done. WaITer Fix's dirge was a nicely melancholic poem, while Barnouw's EpiTaph Tor Sappho remains one oT The besT QuarTerly poems in recenT years, having genuine lyric Tire in iTs lines. Taken as a whole, iT was a very successTul Second issue. The Spring number Tairly bulged wiTh poeTry. There were six poems including a very original lyric by RoberT Ackerman, a newcomer To The QuarTerly. PeTer Viereck was represenTed by Two poems, EarTh's Music and Caliban's Dream. VicTor Barnouw had a shorT, lyrical hymn oT haTe, abouT walking down dark sTreeTs on a windy nighT and griTTing your TeeTh aT every body. There were Two poems by lower-Tormers, Philip Krapp and RoberT l-leilbroner, which were boTh simple, unpreTenTious lyrics. The lead sTory in The Spring number was anoTher inTeresTing Ben Cohn advenTure, TeaTuring The Ben Cohn Boys wiTh The lndians. The second sTory was Barnouw's An Episode in The l.iTe oT Johnny Knoblockf' This is The Third saTiric episode TeaTuring Barnouw's hero, The TirsT Two having appeared in The Record under STaTion l-l.M.S. lTs realism was painTully accuraTe and sharply done. James l-loover was represenTed by anoTher sTory enTiTled The SpiTe Fence. Hoover wriTes very well, as poeTs do, when They Turn To prose, buT his shorT-sTories have one curious TraiTg They sound as if l-loover himself is noT inTeresTed in The sTory he is wriTing. This grey, impersonal qualiTy marks all his prose. Reynolds conTribuTed a very shorT sTory called The PoeT, which had The same good and bad qualiTies as his Corn, Two essays rounded ouT The Spring number, one by l-lamilTon, The oTher by Harrison, boTh oT which wriTers were making a second appearance in The QuarTerly. As The MANNIKIN goes To press, The TourTh and lasT issue has noT yeT come ouT, buT a good Tinishing number may be prophesied. Reynolds, The only TiTTh-Tormer on The board, will be nexT year's ediTor. Barnouw has The record in The number oT conTribuTions accepTed: TiTTeen sTories and nine poems. l-loover has a similar record: sixTeen poems, Three sTories. l-loover also won The l933 poeTry award oT The WriTers' Club, which is an inTerscholasTic organizaTion oT school liTerary publicaTions ThroughouT The counTry. The Slaves, which won The prize, was published in The QuarTerly lasT year. Viereck Tollows wiTh seven sTories and Three poems. .fIO4T,
