THE SHIPBUILDER LITERARY HERMAN, THE DIAMOND This is the story of Herman, a large and glittering diamond. Herman was born in a small mine in South Africa and his dis- covery created quite a bit of excitement, for he was one of the largest diamonds ever found. Finally he was put in a box with sev- eral other smaller diamonds, but of course Herman wouldn't think of associating with them 'for he thought so highly of himself that it would hurt his pride to speak to anyone as low as they. At last he arrived in America. In a short time he 'was rushed to a strange 'place where he was polished and shined so brightly that when he looked in a mirror a little later he hardly knew him- self. He was still admiring himself when he was whisked away to another factory where he was encased in a hard, glittering metal which he noticed was marked Solid Gold. His home for the next month was the show case of a large and exclusive Fifth Avenue jewelry store. He was admired by thousands of people until one day he was lifted out of his show case, inspected by a wealthy looking gentleman, and bought for S25.000. That night, when he was presented to the gentleman's wife, was the happiest of his life. For twenty contented years, Herman stayed on his mistress' finger, and during those years he was the happiest diamond alive. The seeds of discontent, however, soon showed their ugly faces. Herman began to get uneasy and yearned for a change in scenery. More and more did his desire grow, until one night when his mistress was asleep, he succeeded in work- ing his way off her finger and on to the floor. At last, shouted the happy Herman, I can see the world, but no sooner had he spoken than he rolled into a crack in the floor. Poor Herman, what a wet miserable night he spent. All his desire to see the world was gone and he would give any- thing to be back home again. Wlren the dawn came there was a wild scurry of activity when the lady found Herman gone. The whole family started to search for him and several times he was sure that they would find him. but each time he was overlooked. If only he could cry out. It was not until several hours later that he was found. After he was back in his old place he made a vow to himself that he would never again venture into the world by himself. The moral of this story is: It is better to be wrapped around a woman's linger than to be on your own. S. OSBORNE '50 Fairy Princess As I sit looking out of my window The snow Falling on the buildings Clothes them in filmy white gowns Like princesses Preparing for a ball, In their jet black hair The stars Twinkle like a host of fireflies, And the heavily burdened trees Bow at their sides Like ladies in waiting. As the dawn appears The Sky rolls back its dark cloak, And the snow looks like a sparkling blan- ket of ermine Laid carefully at their feet, But with the coming of the cruel sun My ladies in waiting, Released from their bLu'dens, Straightened their backs, And my fairy princesses reluctantly pick up their ermine robes And disappear. Never to be seen again. R. CHIPMAN '49 BRAINSTORM In this school so microscopic, The assignments in each topic In amount are just terrific And in number are prolific, Give me need of anesthetic, My condition is pathetic, And my brain is so erratic I've got static in my attic. A. SCOTT '50 THE CATS OF THE FAMILY Sitting on the old low armchair, With exquisite feline grace, Sits the Princess of the household, With contentment on her face. Curled up smugly by the fire, Sleeps Johnny, the household male. He's yellow with a fierce expression And a big, striped, fluffy tail. When they're playing, both together, Or washing Cthat's their daily task! We're always watching and exclaiming, If you like cats, what more can you ask? R. CHIPMAN '49 Page Seven
