V Y, - -ling L-no r ll-1 , f Published by The Class Of 1950 The New Lincoln School 31 West 110 Street New York City 'Q -W - --1---1-' f m'W -7- The New Lincoln School wus founded two years ago to continue the search for new educational methods and techniques that will help our young people to understand the nature of the forces loose in their world, to help them build a body of ideas in which they can helieve, ond to help them to learn to act on the basis of their understanding and telief. because, in Vuth New Lincoln and the old school, the members of this first araduatinc class have had realistic opportunities to demonstrate their splendid group spirit, fine imogination, and mature sense of responsiblity as citizens of the school community, I heliove they will go on to laroer areas of experience and study Letter equipped to meet the problems of our world. As products of an on-going tradition in education, I know that they will carry with them something of toth Horace Mann-Lincoln and the New Lincoln Schools. l feel that we could not he tetter represented.

This is our story, how we argued, struggled, compromised, and in the doing built a new and differ- ent type of student government. Kthunder zn background! Listen! Kapplause! Make it progressive, throw out tradition and have something really different. Sure, that's the ideal, but will it work? For efficiency there must be a ruling body. The masses can't rule themselves .... we can't have anarchy here. we'll have a town meeting with an elected steering committee that plans the agenda .... follow the Quaker line, give the minor- ity a voice and concense .... Iloud applause! So we compromised and got along with our fellow men. But when we talked, we did not talk of the bigness of the thing which we had done .... I've copied those damn notes four times .... efficiency hell.... The trouble is - nobodyqs interested. Canasta, after all, is not quite the thing when one is learning to be a citizen of the world. Go on, get up and say something....even if you have nothing to say, get up and say you agree. Say anything, but say it. Kszngzng in background to tune of HBallad for Americansuj Building a government was mighty tough The students found the going rough. Thirteen committees were quite enough So they started to disband .... lfade out! That's right, that's the idea. The committees were found to be weakening the power of all, undermining the democratic spirit, causing a lack of unity. So we went back to only one standing committee, stripping the government to its bare essentials, but in reality we have stepped forward. We are young and strong, we build and change and build QgQin...rjubiLant voices softly Sine- zng Hallelujah in background! we look ahead .... Imusic swells! Y. .

' ent 3129 SPORTS In a new school the sports are necessarily limited, but the athletic program has an opportunity to make a fresh start and to establish its own traditions. At New Lincoln, a small student body and limited athletic facilities made inter-school sports practically non-existent in the first year of the school. The result was modest athletes who did not expect gold- en crowns or medals at the end of a victorious season. No one was sur- prised when the team's valiant efforts in their exhausting two game soccer and softball SCh9GUl9S brought rather unrewardinc results The basketball season that year proved inter- esting if not handsome J in that our boys' team and our girls' team played both senior and junior varsities of other schools. Unable to play any home games because of the strange position of the baskets in our own gym, the teams found themselves on many different courts whose only common trait was: that they tiad a basket at each end. We had a perfect fall and spring playground which lay directly outside our windows, but Chief Gucker had quite a problem in picking a soccer squad of eleven and a softballsquad of nine out of a high school with twenty boys one year and barely thirty the next. There also were na seniors in the 1948 season. nv f 1 b f ye- -1-,zz '2 7' t R .sl e fl itll-- . HM , , UNCIQQ, HMQLN Ou. A U. N wool fi N Q 5' 4 A N Hamm!

Things began pick- ing up in the second year of the school's existence: the strangee ness was goneg the school was more secure, and there were seniors Although a three win- two loss record is not perfection, there were signs of a fine soccer team. winter brought a long and tough bask- etball schedule. Again although the record was far from excellent, the New Lincoln five proved to be more than just a nushover team. Their efforts merited them a position in the MAAPS and three of the boys made a good showing in its all-star game.

Last fall we went to the park to look for cococns and we found a lot of them. we had a hard time balancing our aquar- ium. The first four times we put in the snails they died, but the fifth time one survived. A few days later we discovered some baby snails. Then we knew our aquarium was right for the fish. Some of the children brought in a father and a mother guppy fish. One Monday morning we found six baby guppies in the aquarium. The first week of school a basket of potatoes arrived. we grew them last year at one child's country home. We tested them and found that they have starch, minerals, and water. we boiled some of them in the cooking lab- oratory and they tasted delicious. We learned about many things. One study was about wheat and its growtm how it is planted, harvested, and made into flour. We also studied the weather and we made rain, fog, clouds, dew, frost, and snow. Our class kept a record of the weather for February. We study the weather Light as a feather And day after day We all work together. l .1 4 QVKDIU 5 W9 Pj Q32 EM -ff -' ' W ir' -Www'-'H-Q GROUP A One thing that our class enjoyed this year was its project work. Different groups worked at a lot of different projects. This spring, to give its information to the whole class, each group put on what we called radio programs. We had a microphone and our voices carried from the cloak- room into our own room where those not broadcasting were sitting. We enjoyed putting on a play, HMr. Toadn. It was the story of Uwind in the Willowsu but we shortened and changed it. In the fall we got o puppet stage which we used. We gave puppet shows at the Christmas assembly. we had three good student teachers: Mrs. Gilbert, Mr. Brewer, and Miss Wolin. Mr. Brewer gave us a mouse and a record and lent us the microphone. We feel we have found out about a lot of things this year, but we still have a lot to learn. GROUP B Our class has eleven boys and ten girls. Four new people joined us this fear. We have opened a supply store for the schoo1's use. Our core is New York City and we've been working on a map showing the important buildings of the City. We have woven the three R's, science, arts, and shop into our core. ,doug Aiddns 'ebooxog alll io?

HNovemter, 1949--Seventeen stu- dents are busy running around the city gathering information of the needs and wants of present day peo- ple. The students are mainly con- cerned with data on food, health, education, housing, and propaganda After the investigation, reports will be presented to the class. HFebruary, 1950--The ninth grade has found that it needs background for the new part of its core progrmg the needs and wants of the community They are starting with the study of immigration to America during the period from ioOO to 1800. HMarch 8, 1950--Today, in connec- tion with their study of immigration the class went to Ellis Island to obtain information and observe con- ditions. This was one of a series of trips which also included visits to housing projects in the neighbor- hood.H Today it was reported that the overall topic of past and present needs and wants in the world and in the community has been investigated so thoroughly by the ninth grade that this column wonders what re- mains for them to study next year. is 1 5 v t - 1' REPORTER AT LARGE Early this morning, we saw a long procession moving down a hall in the school building. Curious terms like trinomial and subscript re-echoed from the walls. Approaching one of the stragglers, we asked him what he was doing. He said that he and the other students had a math class with Miss Wood. We followed them and en- tered room 412. Amid groans of HON I knew that.H and HHow does that check out,U the class settled back we began to feel uncomfortable when one of the girls said, UBut if you subtract 5x, doesn't the equation become 17 x 7 over 54y minus i2.5Xy times minus 7x over 58y plus 2xyz.H The answer was forthcoming with sup- rising speed. HNo, in the step be- fore you forgot to take into account the power of X. Edging toward the door, we took a last look at the heiroglyphics on the blackboard, then shrugged our shoulaers and left the room. 'z Jig THE WEATHER The year started off with hot dis- cussions turning into cooler spells of running around the city gathering information for reports. Things have been sizzling from time to time and every once in a while someone gets the cold shoulder. Otherwise temperatures have been moderate Forecast: fair and clear. FAIR GOVERNMENT It was decided this year that, in order to give jobs to as many people as possible, four sets of officers would be elected. The presidents were Phil Danzig, Eddie Gardner J Louise Burton, and Sally williams. The bus notemakers were Ha es La- Y mont, Jane Mencher, Michelle Strikeg and Ivan Merber. Those who craftily hoarded the treasury were Steve Perls, Carol Marshall, Michelle striker, and Ivan Nerber. 3 Q5 y 0 s Q ? '41.q5 ' 15 0. 9 ' Zo J'-ro'7+ 'f, Q. 0:52 Qkifrxsipvs W9- ' ' P.

Sally Williams, manager of the girls basketball team, flicked balls through baskets and-made fabulous scores. Ed Gardner was a member of the boys' basketball team. The girls' junior varsity was made up mostly of ninth graders. Both the boys' and girls' teams beat the eighth and tenth grades in basket- ball. In the beginning of the year, Steve Perls helped the boys' soccer team and Hayes Lamont was, perhaps its best halfback High school sports are off to a good start tai the ninth grade. SOCIETY There have been rumors that five families will be asked to leave their apartments if they continue to hold ninth grade round-robin parties. These class parties have taken place once every month at different homes, and, luckily, there are en- ough students so that no one need be visited twice. The parties have lasted through the wee hours of Sat- urday mornings. Activities have in- cluded waking up neighbors, breaking up other neople's houses, playing games, dancing, and eating. Attire has ranged from taffetas and suits, to bobby socks and dungarees. Class representation has been good and so has the fun. + ATOM SPLIT BY NINES Lab., January--A press release has been received from room BC1, announ- Cing that seventeen renowned scien- tists have gathered to explore thg atom. A steering committee Volun- teered to lead the way through the various nuclei and other sub-atomic particles. The scientists inquired diligently into the physical struc- ture of the atom , taking a look at the protons, neutrons, and those fleeting particles, the electrons. Secret films from the labs of such famous scientific organizations as Westinghouse, General Electric, and Do Pont were shown. In addition, the scientists hugely enjoyed them- Selves with comic books - on the atom, of course. mom stun POET'S CORNER Elaine is like a little mouse Because she's nice and quiet.

EDITCRIAL The question of whether or not we have really been a united group this year has two sides. As a class we have worked together and worked very well. Yet, socially, we tended to pull apart and to be cliquish. Half our class was new this year, and we didn't know one another very we1L Each of us had his own views, but we found that we could cooperate. We feel now that the class has benefit- ted and has been enriched by each student's background Gnd id9G5- ALE f'i'N15S5 ' CSN'-2 i s 7 5 X x ' ' 1 oi' ' .S X X X X 4 X THE TE TH GR DE We were a small class this year, with only sixteen people. Among these were some very colorful characters, however. Our skills and talents ranged from those of cartoonist Steve Knight, to those of Silvio Estrada, a genius at the piano. This year found us well supplied with core teachers: Messrs John Davis, Jack Ryskind, and Leon Rosenthal. These gentlemen were unusual in some respects, but we think they were swell. It was under their leadership that, after a bit of debating, we decided on our goal for the year - a better understandihg of the world today . A few diehards fought to break core down into English and , Social Studies. This was partly accomplishedg start- :ff ing in November we had one period of straight English T-T ' a week. The other'ten periods were still referred to - as core. We experimented in methods: our first pro- Q Z ject, which was the world food problem, was all group workg the next project was completely teacher led This study centered around atomic energy from the social aspect, but took in the U. N. and a little about the tricks of commercial advertising. Core tem- porarily intergrated with our science course, in which, among other things such as astronomy and astrology, we studied atomic energy from the scientific aspect. Our next CQIQ project was concerned with the study of a primitive soc- iety as compared to a modern one. The class read HComing of Age in Samoan by Margeret Mead. when we began to study the modern culture, we found it necessary to study its main influences, in this case the Greek, Roman, and E c T Hebrew. We read and enjoyed The Odyssey as an example of Greek litrature, and most of the Bible as an example of Hebrew literature. We followed .,..-3--, our study of early Christianity by the reading of '-'- Dante's Divine Comedy . 0 Wood was our guiding light, leading us over the difficult places and explaining everything in de- tail. Despite this, there were arguments every day.

After these, we read HLe Petit Frinceu by Antoine de Saint Exupery. What's more, we did some recording this year, thus improving our pronunciation. flmogine hearing yourself as another Charles Boyerij Two of the class took Spanish with Senor Villarejo. One of our extra-curricular activities was the forming of the audio- visual aids committee, under the supervision of Mr. Davis. It was formed maiH1Y because of the need for operators to run the movie projector. How- ever, its members, all the tenth grade, also did other jobs such as ordering and returning films, announcing them to the faculty, and filing film cata- logues. Gradually, the other Classes began to share and take over the duties of the committee, until it became an all school committee. Let it be remem- bered, however, that we, the tenth grade, were the pioneers. we feel that we have really learned to work as a solidly united group this year, and that we are able to face any problems that next year may bring with a firm understanding. 'Q THE ELEVE TH GR DE During its study of ancient history, the eleventh grade took a short four year trip to Greece to investigate ancient ruins. While they were there their mentor and guide, R. N. Bliss, uncovered several tablets upon which there was ancient Greek script. It turned out that these were the lost books of NThe Oddysseyn, which had been sought by many historians and archeologists since the dawn of history. We reproduce a translation of them here for pos- terity. 1' H' no A v 'F' 0 Q my P figs-L-1, - ii Then rose, with rosy-fingered dawn, from his bed the noble Oddysseus in the house of Alcinous, king of Phaecia. And once more called they him to their Court to discuss with them his journeys and adventures. After the marvelous minstrel, Demodocus, had finished with singing the deeds of the mail-clad Acheans, Alcinous came upon Oddysseus and to him he said, UNoble stranger, will you continue your tale that was left unfinished yesterday?U And to him said noble Oddysseus, Hwhy, I will indeedn, and he began. UAfter we had weathered the rage of the Cyclops and steered away our sleek ship from his treacherous isle, we sailed for many days, tossed at the whim of Poseidon, the Earth-shaker, hither and thither, all the while wishing more and more to be home in our own rocky Ithaca. Suddenly, however, we came upon a strange isle that stood alone in the middle of the sea, barren and rocky. Not knowing what lay in store, we steered our swift, black ship to- ward the craggy island. Landing suddenly upon the firm and stony shore, we quickly disembarked, and headed up the craggy cliffs that surrounded the cen- ter of the island. HThe first inhabitant we saw was an aged figure, bent double with his years, perusing a tablet on which were written three strange words: 'The NGW Link'. I boldly stepped forward and greeted him. 'Alas', he Said, 'I Gm doomed to wander this craggy isle forever and to pray to the gods that I mOY be protected from the wrath of Blysseus, the Pencilshaker'. As the ancient disappeared down a lonely path, muttering into his gray beard, there came IH sight Q fair and lovely blond-haired damsel. we approached her and asked 'Do you know the name of yonder aged one?' 'Ay, verily,' she said, 'and I also have imprinted my thoughts on that tablet that he reads. I am the nymph whose function is to make NThe New Linku bloom every two weeks. This I do with the aid of my genie, Mimeographus.' 'where does this Mimeographus abide that we may seek him out?' 'Ah, you cannot do that, fair stranger, for he lives in the underworld, covered with inky blackness, and anyone who touches him becomes of his color. I bid thee farewell. See ya sometime,kid.' And, so saying, she betook herself down the road after the aged one. Next we came upon a strange creature, wearing some strange manner of goggles over his eyes, who sat playing a peculiar type of lute, with hammers to pluck the strings instead of his own fingers. There he sat, hurling every manner of curse and damnation upon his instrument. Indeed, as we first approached, we heard him say, 'Ah'm so durned mad ah could spit!' ITrans- Lator's note: This particular personage was probably from southern Greece.1 tax nLeaving this mad minstrel hammering his instrument, we reached a strange edifice, stand- IY-! ing in the true center of the island. Prom it came cries resembling those heard from souls in Hades, every manner of anguished shriek poured forth from the great building. warily, we step- ped inside, fearing for our lives. It was then that we were in the presence of the great Pencil- shaker, Bob Blysseus. with a cry of greedy rage, he swooped down, seized two of my men, knocked their heads together, and made a meal of them. As he sat licking his chops, we withdrew to a protected corner of the chamber, cowering in fear. But the great Pencil- shaker drew us therefrom saying, 'Need not fear, for I shan't touch anymore of your men, two being the standard meal in these parts. Come see our hardy slaves at work.' And so saying, he lead us to two great rooms. 'There are two hard masters here, Physicus and Biologus, let us regard Physicus firstn As we stepped into the great hall, we were arrested by the horrifying scent of Toluol, which is used to purge the poor victims of their sins. There sat XFN the poor, cowering slaves, adding L' ciphers and reciting formulae in a HJ strange gibberish. Indeed, one was trying to draw an egg from a flask into his mouth. 1 UNear by us sat one of the slaves who drew forth from his pocket two S long, slender, interlocking wooden A rods, and this curly-headed youth commenced abstruse figuring on the is contraption. The awe-full Blysseus then said unto us, 'Yon curly-headed youth goes by the name of Slide-rul- erides, condemned for the remainder of his life to think and speak only by means of this fiendish sliding rod! Over in another corner of the great hall, there appeared before our amazed eyes the figure of a care-worn maiden, hunched over the leaves of a beautifully engraved booklet entitled 'The U.N. Report on Atomic Energy'. Spake Blysseus then unto us, 'There you View a studious maid, well-learned in the manners and morals of atoms, with hope foremost in her heart to one day become high priestess of Physicus. Turning our eyes from these tortured V ones, we entered the room of Biologus. There, WGS a collection of ghoulish creatures poking about in the inner workings of dead rats and relishing the grisly sight. 'Ch, lead us away!' we cried, and Blysseus brought us unto the rooms where the unfortunate slaves were ' schooled in complicated manipulations with Q numbers. Seated beneath a towering black slate rg , was the mentor of this class, chanting incom- N K prehensible words at her stupified charges. A vague and unsubduable murmur filled the high- , v walled room. Tomorrow, tomorrow was the day ' of the long-dreaded supreme sacrifice...to- morrow was the day of the test! Then, above .S X the babbling, worried populance rose mightily Q the cry, shrill and vibrating, of a maiden V 'iblond and scowling, whose voice my men and I 4: fa could compare to naught in our travels but the gi screeching eagles of Zeus almighty. Llven as 'jf we turned to Blysseus, the Pencilshaker, for 4 explanation of this phenomenon, the light- hairea damsel leapt from her seat to defy the word of her lord, the mentor of the black slate, ana conducted forth were we, out of that mighty Chamber. shortly thereafter, conducted were we by izlysseus unto the rooms where strange tongues were taught: that ot the Gauls in the north and that of the lllyrians in the west. Q Upon glancing into the room of the Gaulic lan- guage, we were immediate- Q1 ly struck by the sight gl of the great dispensor- of-wisdom attempting I I ay, using all the powers Q. 0 I B which the gods had given 'I her, to Curb the antics I C of a bushy-haired youth seated in a corner of the chamber. It was of no avail. My men were 1 fairly frightened out of their wits by the gutter- NNN, coming from his throat, and the flapping of arms al, ape-like mutterings -A and slapping of thighs which accompanied the outburst. As the rest of the group busied itself in copying down bits of Gaulic history and pertinent as- pects of Gaulic grammar, there rose from the back of the room Q piercing voice which shrieked, 'Touch me again and I'l1 screaml' Frightened lest we should be swept into the clutchesof the bushy-haired youth, and having seen enough, we hastened from that door and sped on frightened feet unto the cham- ber of those who wished to be educated in the mysteries of the Illyrian lan- guage. The great Pencilshaker, Blysseus, having peered around the door, in- formed us with gracious words that the gloom and darkness which were in that chamber would prevent us from viewing the sacred rite which was being per- formed, they were seeing a movie. with heads bent and sorry countenance, we were ushered along the great hall. Hwhile in our wanderings, we saw the great hall of feasting whence came the sound of dishes clashing one against the other, and a merry chatter of voices. Turning our backs upon this hearten- ing scene, we were confronted with a horrible spectacle. There, before our astonished eyes A was a deep, enclosed pit wherein dwelt a hor- Q rible monster, barred and suspended from cables which engulfed unfortunate passersby on upper levels and spewed them forth on the lower ones X . While we feasted our eyes on this marvel, the monster stopped before us and disgorged a fair young girl with graceful, black tresses, who said not a word but smiled graciously upon us and hastened on. Before she was out of sighg Plysseus called her unto him and said, 'As thou art my slave and as these noble strangers have asked me for my counsel, I would desire it of you that you hasten to deliver this mes- sage of import.' Not biding one more instang the girl hastened away into the unknown depths V 7 49 'Q' it C 1 'Cla Q -X' ,I if r ,vu -ff, .P 1' ,, Na A al 6 X g,, and we were left alone. spake no more Blysseuq V but led us into the black cage and, although x ' - my men shivered and shook, I strode in boldly as a lion to the kill, for had I not seen the Q monster Scylla, with her six heads and cruel teeth? HArriving safely at the lower levels, Blysseus brought us into the rooms where slaves shaped figures out of the clay of mother earth, while others busied themselves with daubing paint on tablets or hacking great boards of sweet-smelling pine, while yet others brewed vile concoctions in great ovens we paused to watch two youths, one tall and slender, and the other with his hair close-cropped. while we observed them, they were stirrinQ G 1GTQ9 Pot of white, creamy substance, which wou later be shaped into a mold, thus en- abling large quantities of trinkets to be manufactured and eventual large sums of money to be gained. We listened to their Conversation. Said the tall one to the shorter one, 'Hark friend, unto the thundering footsteps of the approaching Blysseus.' And answered ha..tily the Other, HY-ITTYJ let Us hasten to ena our work and then take ourselves hence.' lmpressed by the in- dustriousness of these two stalwartlGdS, we flung a lastglance at the swirl- ing pot of plaster and wended our way past scattered busy people, all the :rl x. W I , while smelling the odors of tantalizing foods cooked by I the young slaves. Finally, we entered a huge chamber painted the color of raw heart of egg. Turning to the Pencilshaker, Blysseus, we were told that this was the holy of holies, the core room. .f' HThen spake the noble Elysseus to us, saying, 'My friends, though I have wandered far to show you the con- 'A fines of this place, I bring you at last to my home, the J1?:a place where, when the sun is beyond its zenith, l spout 4,0 --A forth wisdom from my lips. Here taught I the story of K' the founding oi that nation across the sea known as the Soviet Union, and now that that study is completed, I and my subjects do delve into the civilization of ancient Greece, hoping one day to progress unto a general understanding of that glorious ball which is our earth. Here, also, do they school themselves in the art of writing grace- ful phrases, and expressing their innermost passions on various topics which I do to them assign.' Upon entering this chamber, we were struck first by the sight of a bony, dark-eyed youth carrying a large sack in his arms. Upon peering more closely, we perceived numerous crumpled bits of paper protruding from the sack and settling onto the floor like locusts settle upon corn. As the youth madly pawed through the sheaves of paper, Blysseus spread his hands in a gesture of dispair. 'Ay,' spake Blysseus, 'he is moved by his innermost soul to fill pages and pages with closely-packed manuscript comprising an epic called UThe TrainU.' As soon as the youth was seated, silence fell o'er the room and we found our eyes resting on a short raven-haired maiden who commanded the group to cease their infernal babbling. Evidently, she held executive power in the group. She spoke to a wavy-haired youth, who was hum- ming a musical tune in a deep tenor voice, 'How progressed you yesterday on your mission of rug-shampooing, the purpose of which is, in time, to replen- ish our barren treasury?' 'Fair one,' quoth he, 'my mission went right well and I and my companions have had the great fortune to receive for our labor, 57.25, which will, in due course, be entrusted to the class treasurer. Also have 1 left half a bottle of rug-cleaning fluid.' Then, with flowing words which filled the room with music, shouted she, 'Pluid, shmooid, varlet! How darest thou clutter up our meeting with such hog-wash.' Hence followed a stormy debate which my poor brain could not follow, with VGTiOuS miS9TObl9 individuals in the group being singled out for more labors, including one especially vicious one called baby- sitting. Then, with a roar and a clatter, the group rose from their chairs and fled hence. we followed at a safe distance. Hshortly thereafter, we encount- ered them again, this time segregated 5, The youths were in the greatest hall of all, the damsels, dressed in black tights, were in the assembly hall where men fear to tread. Hastening to the men's hall, we saw that its walls were lined with hoop-suspended nets into which the graceful youths tossed balls with airy abandon. - I QL L Q USSR SWR-'Q 0,941-'a.AxA iv Cameue-' wut, wtuu- goes We were especially struck by the appearance of one fleet youth who Seemed to bound with steel-springed feet o'er the paneled floor in pursuit of the ball, 'Ah,' smiled Blysseus, 'yonder leaping youth is the fleet-tooted one whose greatest diversion is accomplishing dazzling gymnastic feats.' with a last glance we passed out of the hall, thinking that this was the sum of the act- ivities which the slaves undergo. 'Ah nay,' cried Blysseus, 'come ye hither into our glorious Snack Pit, whence pours money into our starving treasurv.' Then back went we into the brightly illumined hall of feasting, and saw we there merry people, eating and drinking to their hearts' content. Thither came the mentors, to be served by the graceful and smiling nymph behind the counter, for lo, it was the halo-haired one who directed this noble enterprise which brought nourishment into the puny bodies of the slaves. Scattered about the hall, were groups of slaves playing at Canasta, while others played ping-pong or passed the time of day with their friends. Here sat another nymph, bustling like a hen around her nest, and she hastened unto Blysseus and informed him with grieved tone that there was no more vanilla. Blysseus gave her wise counsel, and she rushed away, with honey-co GbOUi hef GUYS- I pushed onto the counter, and saw there the sweet cookies and sugar-frosted cake, which raised their heavenly odors even unto my nos- trils.

It was not far to go, already we could hear the crystal waves lapping the shore. The sun went down and all the ways were dark, as we came unto our ship and entered aboard it. Forth went we over the wine-dark sea in our swift, black ship, but we did not speak, for each man was thinking for himself about what he had seen that day SSA' SCEVHIUKVS W 'fel W ff There was the time we said, HThis day is first.H l Can't rememher now the way we felt, But newness was the strongest thought, I know.
