Vignettes of Franceli by Roger Unger, 4'Overnight Hike by Prall Culviner, Shadows by Thomas Langer, and a series of anecdotes made up the rest of the lower forms, contribution. This wealth of writing material plus an equally pleasing abundance of pictures produced quite a sensation at school, and though the issue was quite late in appearing, it fully lived up to advance pre- dictions. The new Quarterly was a success. Three one-act plays featured the Winter Quar- terly, the largest issue of the magazine ever to ap- pear. Editor Compton's fantastic, philosophical drama, Lethe Wharff, had the lead position. The two other plays by Alston Horton and James Blum- garten, Apology Accepted and Pickles and Ice Cream, were charmingly flippant comedies. Louis Baker's weird mystery story, The Swampf, written much in the style of Poe, was thought by many the finest story of the issue. 'LOld Man Ober, a character sketch by Robert Miller, Herbert Bailey's sophisticated student story 'gTux- edo Tonesf' Jules Stich's Giotto Gets a Job, The Hulling Machinei' by Robert Kaufman, 'LThe Man and the Gull, a nautical adventure by Dick Turner, and Prall Culviner's Eh, Johnny?,, rounded out the fiction selection. The essayists went in for art, with John Friend contributing An Introduction lo Chinese Arti' with photographs of his own, and his brother, Sidney, writing Thomas Benton. There was Jonas Ro- bitscherfs sensible discussion of surrealism, But ls It Art? Jimmy Sondheim's history of early archi- tecture. f'They Built for Eternity, and John Hy- manis Armor and Armorersf' Jonas Barish treated of William Gilbert and his libretto in Through a Victorian Looking-Glassf' while reviewers Ritter and Zucker collaborated on a series of snappy stage glimpses. Other articles were by Manlio Terragni. James Miller. Martin Beller, and Peter Gordon. Poetry was the only thing lacking in this colossus. Bijur and Crozier supplied two illustrations apiece. while the winners of the photography contest had their work printed. Unfortunately an only moder- ately good print job lowered the high technical makeup of the issue. While the Spring Quarterly was but half the size of its predecessor, in appearance and in the quality of its material it was perhaps better. The Franklin Press was given the print job and, though there was a slight additional expense, the work was of finer quality. Jimmy lVIiller's adventure tragedy, f'Papitra,,' headed the list of short stories. Compton and Baxter were each again represented by a philo- sophical opus, and to Julian Koenig, Tim Hess, and Jules Stitch were left the light bits of fiction. The two Friends and Norman Klebanow sup- plied the Quarterly with its first real out and out poetry of the season. John Friend's Sea Dreams was really outstanding. The essays of Allan Sachs, Herbert Kramer, and John Ellenbogan, stories by two newcomers, David Judson and Samuel Schweit- zer, a good number of bits from the Lower School, and lots more art work completed the issue. With the summer number yet to appear, The Quarterly can look back upon a season of great and unusual progress. Though the financial worry of the publication was great at first, it soon dis- solved partially under a tenacious business board headed by Bob Marcus. Mr. Baruth is stll hoping. however, that next year the General Association will raise its budget considerably. Since the maga- zine has proved itself one of much greater impor- tance and influence. additional expense money seems likely. The Quarterly this year was particularly for- tunate in having two artists of unusual ability. There is little doubt that the services of Arthur Bijur and Bill Crozier will be sorely missed next year. Following the plan of the Record, the new Quarterly Editor. Herbert Bailey. has already been elected, so that he may have some experience be- fore he steps into his job next Fall. One more part- ing word should be accorded to Mr. Baruth, to whom more praise is really due. He is more than pleased with what the Quarterly has done this year, but still holds greater hopes for the future. 119 .
