Ibsen's Nora, Torvald, Mrs. Linden and Nils Krogstad step -forward, bow smile and depart leaving on, the realm of literature a lasting impression., I Evelyn Roqofsky-'31 ' 'HALLOXWEEN ' ' High in the heaven a jolly old harvest' moon in 'all its round splendor smiles down on a little town. As it is after ni-nelo'clock, mcist of the houses are dark. From one home, however, soft light gleains through theiwinf dows, black cats and witches dance upon the window panes, Now and then a burst of V laughter' leaksout andthe 'smile 'of the moon grows larger. ' In direct contrast to this scene are the surroundings. A cold wind whistfeis' in .the leafless 'trees, which cast grotesque shadows about the house. LWeird shadows, gigantic goblins that dance, race' across the lawn as a lcanswjeeps by. The long veranda is lempty except where' the shadows of fa clump of trees is cast on the floor. In this shadow a shapelessi iigure crouching 'creeps h slowly to a window and looked in on' the gay scene inside1 The faceof this figure is pe' culiar. A longnose is its outstairidinglfeatiire. Two 'brown eyes, sometimes reflecting laugh' ter, other times 'l6Yiging, twinkle, and dance. The figure bobs 'irs head and perks its ears in an outlandish manner. Suddenly he jumps into' a bush. Nearby comes the humlf of voices engaging in conversation. I A Oh, they must not find me! I'll hide here! Never will I return to that Aprisonl' No! Ha! ' Here they come! Listen! Fools they do not know I am here! 74 There, they have gone! Phew! muttering thus to him' self he crouched lower. He returns to his place at the window. Suddenly out of theldarkness two figures pounge on him and carry him away. He struggles manfully but in vain, their grip is too secure. Back to his prison he returns, escorted by the two men, their brass buttons gleaming in the moon light. A few moments later an ,glderly lady inf quires of her brother, Is the dog secure? Yes, mum, is the answer. g A DOG'SfEYE VIEW OF THE PLAYGROUND My, I am nearly lost. So many people! So much bustle and confusion. Ow! That ball .nearly hit me. Say, you boy, stop pull' ing my tail. What are those girls shrieking for? Look at the swings go! What's that bell? Where are gall the people going? iWhy, there's,not a soul here. I'm all alone,,,and anyhow I'm not being stepped on armrymore. .There's one boy going in that big redfbrick building. 1 think 1 Wm, too. Why,, the insulting creature! He banged the door right in my face! ' 'V' ' i ' J Marjorie Quick-'37 N i 'MYSTERY! Tlie house! which we were about to enter wasvan oldlfashioned, building that had been given rather dubious care for the past ten years. . . , , I wondered as we approached, that house how andqwliyqig had been so neglected. Qerf tainly,n0 sane person would leave his housc in ,Qthat condition if.he designed,it for the purpose:-.offa homestead. From the ,massive oakengdoorv to.the .very top it was a forlorn mass Qfyvreclcage. The stones out of which the ,hoirse had bqqrx built. were covered with moss and in somejplaces small bushes and long. grass, ,grew from the chinks of the walls lilge the hair in torn patches on a ma,r,3iac's, head. Out of every drooping, lopsided window, faces seemed to gaze cold' ly The Shutters, which had long since lost ,any sense of balance, were drooping dis' consolately in a million odd directions. The center of the roof seemed strangely lower thanglge sides. , On a bright day this ,house seemed like a tomb, but on a dark, rainy night such as this one, it eyen .lost the appearance cf such a wordly thing as a tomb. Suddenly behind one of those warped rain barrels a figure appeared, slowly and stealth' ily-. , j i'Look! that hunchfback again , said Mur- ray, Luck! And as I ducked into the hedge I thought, What, a thrilling night this is going to be!3' Harold Davies-'32 , , john Rabye SF Page- 'Fiftyfone
