Since they had met for the first time a week before, the boys spent a part of every day together. Bill, the son of a local merchant, had lived all of his life in the small town, while jim had just moved there. Bill was active and vivacious, interested mainly in sports, while jim was more quiet and studious. However, they had a common interest -tennis. Today they were ending their second set. Well, Iet's quit now, Jim. We each have a set, said Bill, throwing down his racket and wiping his moist fore- head. HO. K., Bill, said jim and, walking to the net, let it slide to the ground. The boys lay side by side on the cool grass under a huge tree and rested quietly for a moment. P jim, started Bill, and paused. I-Iuh? Jim, have you got a girl? Sure, I know a nice girl. She's just my type. I've taken her to the movies several times. What you want to know for? Oh, I don't know. I have a girl, too. She's swell! Loves to swim, and play tennis, and ride bicycles, and hike. Everything I like to do! She's pretty, too! You know, dancing eyes and curly hair. And is she full of pep! What's yours like? Very different from yours, I assure you. She's quiet and intellectual, We discussed lots of deep things and she seemed to know just what I was talk- ing about! You can have your athletic girls! What does she look like, Jim? She's graceful and dreamy-pretty, too, but it's the mind that counts, not the face! jim seemed to be Iost in thought for a moment. Hjim! Why don't we both get our girls and go to the 'show' together tonight? They're having a good pic- ture at 'Bijou'. Say, that's a fine idea! l'll go now, and ask mine. I'II call you up later. MO. K. l'1l do the same. So long! On the piazza of No. ll Chestnut Street, ,Iim was seated in serious con- ference with his intellectual girl-friend when he saw his friend Bill coming down the street toward them. Look, Ann, he said, There goes

CLASS OF 1937 9 Bill now. Do you know him? He's going to ask his girl, and go with us tonight. He paused in amazement as Bill came toward them. Have you seen your girl already? he began, but halted as Bill broke in. Say, what are you doing here? This is my girl! Ann gasped and started to speak but Jim interrupted. Do you mean that this is the girl you told me about? But there must be a misunderstanding some- where! Ann! Did you tell him you loved sports? And you told me you loved astronomy! Poor Ann could do nothing but nod weakly, looking from one to the other. The boys turned to each other, ignor- ing her. Well, Bill? Well, jim? Let's go to the movies together! If the boys had bothered to turn around, they would have seen their ex-girl-friend looking very distressed, but they did not bother. They were too busy discussing their next tennis game, as they walked arm in arm down the walk. IVlarion I... Gallagher '38 Q THE WAR CRISIS IN THE WORLD TODAY Any condition in world affairs that may exist today is certainly the direct result of the World War. The close of the Great War found the nations of the world in a strange and sorrowful situation. Russia had been swept by revolutiong Austria was dismembered and shorn of its l-lapsburgsg the proud Germany was broken and demoral- izedg Italy had had a taste of gloryg japan had become war-consciousg Great Britain, France and the United States were the dubious victors. The four victors of the war who found themselves still intact, decided on a liberal course of action. Herein, lies the cause of the present world crisis. The framers of the Kellogg-Bfriand pact implied in their treaty that those who had world power would keep it, and those who were without power would not seek it, According to this treaty the set-up of territorial division was satisfactory, and therefore no nation should have a war-like ambition to increase its size or influence. It is easy to see that the big three-France, Britain, and the United States-as the dominant and satisfied powers, were willing to make the existence of the present boundaries perpetual. With a condition such as this, no hope for lasting peace could ever be realized. As Walter Lippman has said in his thesis on War in a Collectivist World , There is a struggle for the supremacy of the world which will never cease until one of the belligerents is annihil- ated. Before one can develop further the fight to the finish program that is conspicuous throughout history, one must line up the nations of the earth into two catagories and explain the underlying reason for such a division. There will always be in Mankind the struggle between the haves and the have-notsn. ln relation to world
