I hadn't thought of it before, but when I came into room fourteen to write my theme, the emptiness of it caught my fancy. The black' boards, messy and dusty from yesterday, lend to the atmosphere a drab, uninteresting effect; the waste baskets are probably just an inch over half full; however, a favorable balance between the beautiful and the less beautiful is created by the brilliant, golden rays of the new, morning sun. This soft, glowing light makes even the wintry-worn trees seem lovely; it gives radiance to the smudgy window panes; and the new rounded blossoms of the huge bouquet of sweet peas become rosy and transparent. These scented blossoms bear a message—can you read it? The message is “The dawn of Spring is near. Glorious Spring flitting o’er the hills and meadows, touching now and then, her magic wand to a barren, forgotten spot of earth from which springs forth some gorgeous entity of His creation. —Shirley Walker. U Ay, We Heed Slbant You may not have known it before, but a lot can be told by the closing of a front door. Take the school child coming home from school about four-thirty in the afternoon to get something to eat. He trips up on the porch, generally dragging something behind him, and gives the door a big push. He quickly passes through before it hits the wall and swings into place. Then the salesmen that come around from door to door (They’re really an authority on front doors). He rings the bell and when the housewife gets to the door she generally sticks her head out and says, “We don’t want any . Before he can open his mouth, she slams the door When Papa comes home from work, he generally comes in and gives the door a very pitiful push, sits down in his favorite chair, and starts complaining about what a trying day he had at the office. After supper is over. Dad goes back to his chair and evening papers; the daughter of the family starts practicing on the piano so that she won’t have to do the dishes; and the “Harold Teen” sen gets up from the table, grabs his hat, and, before anyone can say anything, he opens the door and says, “Good night Mom and Pop, I'll be home early.' Many hours later when the family has gone to bed, the door very slowly opens and closes very softly. Then there is a slight noise as the son slowly removes his shoes and starts up the stairs. The next morning when the alarm goes off, everything is in a fury. Mother has to beat everyone else down stairs so she can give them their coffee while they re putting on their coats and hats. After they gulp down the coffee, they grab their things and run. The door really gets a workout. It is opened and slammed six times as the whole family streams out. Patricia Hemf I’age 17
