Darkness and the night have always been a subject of mystery and misunder- standing. In ancient times it was believed that evil spirits lurked after sundown; and even now, in the midst of our advanced society, nightime is alien and frightening to most people. Because everything we do is geared toward the use of our eyes, the daytime is the only place we can feel safe and secure. Yet, much of each day is without light. As a result, our modern world has done its best to eliminate darkness completely by illuminating anything possible. For our convenience, everything from doorbells to watches have lighting devices to make their use possible at all hours. With such luxuries most people can manage any- thing they want when they want without ever worrying about a lack of light. Even modem technology can ' t keep us out of the dark completely. When pow- er fails or batteries go dead, something we take for granted becomes an incon- venience for everyone. It makes us realize how helpless we can be. One place we can get a good perspective of our area during this daily period of isolation is on the mountain anywhere in the Wilbraham- Hampden area. This unique geological feature offers a spectacular nighttime view of the entire Pioneer Valley. Spreading under you can be seen twinkling lights from nearby Lud- low to Holyoke on the other side of the valley. Encompassed in your view are thousands of people, most of them sleep- ing. However, there are many who are wide awake. Night-shift workers, insomniacs, people with next-day deadlines to meet, and crying babies with no conception of time, are all a part of the nightime world. So. although it may look peaceful and almost eerily silent from a remote view point, the hours between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. are an active part of many people ' s schedule. Jim O ' Shaughnessy
