THE SHIPBUILDER 9 watching for the train and waving their lanterns in a sad farewell. The people saw how different it might have been if Lincoln continued to live. How his great influence would have helped in the solution of the Nation's problems after the war. He had finished successfully the most important and most difficult task ever given to man in all history. - ANNA MAZUR '28. MEDITATIONS OF A FRESHMAN As I sit at my radio set and tune in for a certain station, at train of thought comes to my mind and I listen to these unconnected snatches that I hear as I turn my dials and compare them to the seemingly unrelated experiences of my daily life. How disjointed it all seems, a lesson here, a smile there, or perhaps a tear. To go on with the analogy-cannot my radio typify to me progress out of confusion? After the general procedure of tuning in accompanied by squealing, static and mean- ingless sounds the words come clearly to my ears. This is station W. N. A. C. the Shepard stores, Boston. You will now hear the latest news concerning the Lindbergh flight. Plane sighted two hundred miles off coast from Paris. Expected to land about 5.30 p. m. We are now signing oi at 3.20 p. m. Waltham Time. Again I turn the dials to receive a new station. I stop to tune in, and hear the announcement that the next number to be played is, When the Pussy Willow Whispers to the Catnip. After listening awhile, I turn the dials to another station. This time I hear- A radio talk by Willard DeLue of the Globe on Prominent Affairs at the White House. Another station brings a book review by John Clair Minot -another a laugh by Will Rogers, and so on down through the list. Thus our experiences come to us with jazz and symphony crowding upon each other without rythme and reason. How like our own experiences are the turning of these' dials on the radio. All our lives we receive new impressions which we cannot correlate, a smattering of information here and there, something entirely different at each time. It often ca-uses me to think how little concentration there seems to be at the present day and to question whether we are making real progress or simply marking time. But strange upon strange comes the contradictory thought that if men had not con- centrated and devoted their time and energy to good purpose, we would not have the radio itself. So the analogy takes another turn and the answer is as far away as ever. Alas, it is too deep a problem for the mind of a simple freshman, and she turns the question into the hands of wisdom and humbly submits these thoughts to the learned seniors. C. R., '30-

A. B. '27.. WINTER SCENE One brisk morning in December I walked to the pond to skate. Old Mother Earth glistened under the white mantel of our first snowfall. Each tiny crystal glittered diamond- like as the rays of Old Sol fell upon them from an unclouded sky. The bare ugliness of the trees and underbrush was transformed into gleaming beauty, while the original splendor of the evergreens was rendered more picturesque by the weight of their snowy coats. The only activity was an occas- ional flurry of snowflakes and of small snowbirds. Out of the red chimneys of the houses the smoke curled lazily up, indicating warmth and coziness within. The whole scene was one of cold, calm crispnessg which soon changed into one of life and color, for as I neared the pond I saw a number of boys whoseefforfs with brooms resulted in a large square of gleaming ice. At one end of this square glowed a small bonfire, kindled with twigs and brush they had brought from home. As I glided over the smooth ice I thought what a real pleas- ure winter was to those who enjoy themselves in the great Out of Doors. E. F. M. '28,
