By picture, word, and drawing We have presented to you the interesting happenings, the outstanding events, the traditions. and the personalities of' our school in their true and natural setting. VVe have taken great pains to make at book that is truly of the students, by the students. and for the stu- dents and have employed the efforts of ahnost one-sixth of the student body toward this end. No expense or trouble has been spared to make this book the most reineinbered. cherished. and revered object you will have left from the glorious and living days ot' your high school career. I l , THE PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK VOLUME TWENTY-FOUR PORT LIGHTQ P-11 CD PU I-4 C UD C fhrvc VVILLIAM F. MERRILL YVH DEDICATE the 1939 Pour LIGHT to the principal of our high school who has guided our educational lives for the last three years with such skill and understand- ing. Mr. YVilliam F. Merrill has truly been the co-ordinating factor among our scholastic endeavors. activities, ambitions, and aspirations. VVith an analytical and methodical manner he has dissolved our difliculties and produced harmony in our faculty and student body. Mr. Merrill is a Colgate graduate of the class of 1911- and began his activity as principal of the Port VVashinf.rton High School in September 1921. Previous to this position, he taught in many other schools in New York State and was an ad- ministrative member of several. A charter member of the l,ion's Club and a supporter of church activity in Port YVashington. Mr. Merrill has always had an active interest in community life. He keeps in close touch with the high school students. both graduate and undergraduate. and is greatly pleased to receive good reports of their endeavors. In reverence and respect. we honor the outstanding accomplishments of our principal by dedicating this volume to him. MISS ESTHER FARLINGER VVE DRl3ICA'I'H the 1939 Pom' LIGHT to thc guidance director of Port YVashington schools who has helped us choose so wisely in our courses and proceed confidently into the future with a safe and well-planned educational life. Miss Esther Farlinger has been an inspiration to every high school student in hcr administrative ability and outstanding character and has been an integral part of the competent high school administrative department for the past few years. lliss Farlinger graduated from St. Lawrence University and has been active in Port VVashington's educational field since September, 1920. At times she has taught numcrous subjects in our school but at present devotes herself entirely to guidance and direction of the students in their high school courses and college entrance prob- lems. Her hobby is traveling, and she has visited many countries including England, Scotland, France, and Switzerland. This book is dedicated to Miss Farlingcr as a means of expressing our extreme gratitude for hcr unceasing efforts to help us get more from life in every way, every dav. E X f A' TABLE UF CUNTJENTS a FAOULWPY o CLASSES o AQTTVTTTHES Q ARTS 0 SPORTS 0 LTTTERATURTEZ 0 TADVTERTTSEMENTS AND ADNUINIISTRATJIU M TR T10 SINCE faculties are quite necessary to the usual, orthodox school, we present our group of advisors, mentors, and mental spurs, complete with administrators, which every now and then votes us a half-holiday for some unexplained but wholly satis- factory reason. Added to the galaxy this year were Mr. Shear, who undertook to teach the intricacies of Math. and guidance, Mr. Schoenborn, who is now instructing in the wonderful gutturals of the German language, Mr. Ehre, whose job it now is to coax our budding Thespians into dramatic geniuses, Mr. Jordan, the bright young man who holds forth inlthe biology lab., and Miss Berenice Rich, our new gym assistant and fresh air advocate. Quite a few faux pas were committed by embarrassed studes who cheerfully addressed Miss Mallon, only to suddenly remember that she is Mrs. Corson. Like- wise, the same grievous mistake was made concerning Mrs. Balassone, who was the former Miss VVork, and Mrs. Cipriano, who answered Mr. Merrill's telephone last year as Miss Yorio. However, now at the end of the year, we are delighted to report that these mistakes have become infrequent, and we have every reason to suppose that by next year these ladies will always be addressed correctly. The perhaps unenviable job of chaperoning students on their various escapes from the never-ending' routine has been enjoyed, we believe, by several of the teachers. Miss Buckley and Mr. Scherer accompanied the Band to Boston, Messrs. Dodds and Junkcr took their groups to the World's Fair, Mr. Shear journeyed with a number of boys to Farmingdale, and Mr. Scherer was kept busy traipsing around New York and Washington with the forty members of Clio. Yes., we have enjoyed our faculty-their appearance and their pursuits, from Miss Buckley's latest topper to Mr. Schoenborn's appropriately quaint German Band. Would we of the graduating class be too sentimental in saying that we shed a col- lective tear, furtively, of course Qso as not to spoil our cyclamen make-up or new plaid tiej for having to bid adieu to this board of experts? eight MR.

VVrithing under the supercilious stares of the lofty Seniors and Juniors, we entered into the life of Senior High three years ago. We saw the value of a fine scholastic record, and now the membership rolls of the Circle bear our names. Our literary and executive abilities led us into work on the Port Light and Port Weekly, both of which we dominate now. We joined many clubs, and endured their mortify- ing initiations. Our musicians have worn the blue and white band coats and caps, or have wielded a bow in the orchestra at the contests in the past few years, and they have helped to win the medals, cups, and unexcelled ratings of these organizations. Some have lent their voices to the sacred chants of the Choir, or to the large and varied repertoires of the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. Those of us with histrionic ability have stood before the auditorium footlights many times. We won the Inter-class Play Contest last year with The Obstinate Family, executed many fine characterizations in the larger productions, and of course form the majority of Red Domino members. Our stalwart athletes have time and again come off victorious in the fray, be it on the football or baseball field, the basketball court, or the track. Our Amazons, too, have come off with honors for their skillful handling of paddle, racket, bow, stick, and a variety of balls. VVe, who were the first class to take upon ourselves the responsibilities and pleasures of such social activities as roller-skating parties, tea dances, and class ex- cursions, have continued this policy through the years. Successfully piloted through this ycar's activities by Peggy Stephenson and genial Mr. Scherer, we opened Port's social events with the Senior Ball, threw a masquerade in December, and finished up with the Senior Banquet. And now we are leaving. We've had a grand time at Port, and have profited much from these three years. But as we look back regretfully on the new Gym floor Qwe wish we could wear it down ourselvesj, the inevitable snowball fight in the eourt-yard, the Christmas tree in the cafeteria, and Mr. Scherer's begonias, we look forward. too, ready to take what comes and do our best with it, in the future.

This year we, the class of 19-1-0, the largest class in the history of o11r school, have continued our course of unparalleled activity. No longer Hgogglingu Sophomores and not yet aloof Seniors, we, the Juniors, have taken a prominent part in the school goings on.', Sticking to the last ycar's precedent of electing all male class officers, we re-elected Howard Stephenson president, and made James Renson our vice- president with Richard Johnson to keep the minutes and dues. VVith the help of our faculty advisor, Mr. Jordan. we have carried out a full program of social events. A roller-skating party early in the Fall, the Junior-Senior Wiener Roast after the Glen Cove football game, a Christmas party. a trip to the YVorld's Fair in May, and the Junior Prom were some of the things we did as a class. Individually we have entered into all the clubs, sports, etc., so that now we form the nucleus of many of those. Our journalists have contributed much to thc Port lVeekly and Port Lightg our athletes have kicked, thrown, and run on the athletic field, and our actors have filled major roles in many productions. The music de- partment owes much to the instrumcntalists and singers of the Junior Class, who have swelled the ranks of the hand, orchestra, glee club, and choir with able musi- cians. Our scientific wizards, mathematical geniuses, intellectual linguists, and his- torical researchers have made an impressive scholastic record. Our support of the clubs and other school organizations, our patronage of the dances and social events, and our scholastic ability have proved us to be well Htted to take over the places of the class of '39 as leaders of the school, and to assume the ensuing responsibility. Our sincere best wishes go with all the Seniors. VVe are sure that they will succeed in their fields of endeavor even as we are confident that now. as we head the line coming up to bat. we will be able to carry on in their stead. thirty-nine 939 X ll U li T L I G H T , z GN CUT CN r-'l rig f l I3 if-1 L Adams, Jarvis Bond, R iehard Brienza, George Cowley, Francis Croll, George DeMeo, Harry Dempsey, Thomas Duffield, Jolm Helfrich, Harry Hope, Odd Huntley, Floyd Jack, George Johnson.

At least, that's what the senior girls, eating in solitary splendor on the far side of the cafeteria, the superior boys who play on the first team, and other members of the two upper classes who pass us in the halls with amused glances, call us. But personally, we don't think we're as little and as un- important as we seem. Already members of our class are participating in every school activity. Even though they give us the less important stories to cover for the Port YVeekly, we do it faithfully, and one day we'll be writing that big front-page story, or the sports colmnn. To be sure, we quietly slip into the band and orchestra in the morning. but we hope to come strutting in like the Juniors and Seniors some day. lVe are progressing rapidly in the sports and Varsity Club. You will also find us in the Choir. Girls' Glee Club. Boys' Glee Club. Camera Club, Port Light. and even lied Domino. YYe made an ambitious start in dramatics by winning the inter-class play contest when we presented The Romaneers. VVe shall do our best to carry off the same victory next year and incidentally take some of the roles in the bifffrer Jro- l l'5 1 duetions. Yes. we sophomores are jitterhugs. too. ive proved it at our tea dance and Sophomore Hop, both of' which were huge successes. The tea dance was one of the inost inexpensive dances that our school has ever given. The last of our activities this year was a trip to the YVorld's Fair in the spring. The expenses were cared for with our class money. VVe are all very proud of our fine class and school spirit. Yvhenever there's a dance. game, or any other activity. you will undoubtedly find us there supporting it. lVe have thoroughly enjoyed this first year at Senior High with the 1939 and 19-I-0 classes. and we certainly do appreciate all that Miss Bortz, our faculty advisor, and Bob Bessell. our president. together with the rest of the faculty and our other class officers. have done for us. YVe hope the members of the graduating class will be as successful in later life as they have been here. Einally, we reply to those who have dubbed us little sophomores that there is nothing wrong with ns that time won't cure. forty-three rc 6 .TC H F 311 CD I 1 '1' X lf . 'i'T ': .. -, .

Putting something in here, adding another chemical there, and finally getting a green thing which they call a tomato plant is all part of the work done by the twenty-seven members of the Rctort. Established ten years ago as an honorary science club, it has done much in this field. Scientific research and discussion of scientific achievements are its chief functions. During the past year, the Retort has sponf sored two assembly programs, one on scientific agricul- ture and the other on tuberculosis. The members also endeavored to drum up trade for the tuberculin test at the latter assembly. Talks relating to the various fields of science were given at some meetings, both by the members and by guest speakers, at which the members learned about such things as the engineering problems in constructing a tunnel under the Hudson ltiver. MR. EDVVARD A. PICKETT . . . , , 1'vUl'lllflf .fIrI'vi.s'0r This year, under the leadership of Francis Teneh, ' president, C. Kunz, vice-president, R. Brimm, secretary, E. Serofani, treasurer, the lietort renewed its membership in the American Institute of Science and Engineering Clubs. An old type initiation, more rigorous and embarrassing for the initiates, was resurrected for those who would take part in their experiments. The twenty-odd members, chosen for their merits in the field of science, demonstrated their sociability at one of the most important events of the year. Collaborating with the Celerity, the club gave the annual Cclerity-Retort Dance in April. This was the one social function of the organization. So congratulations, Mr. Pickett, and good luck to the Retort, one of the most efficient and outstanding clubs in the school. R E T O R T fff '11 , mi R f 3 1911 ,A W - I A if W 4 cs!

Their enviable record trails back over five years of winning state and national contests, and yet their success under the master- ful baton of Mr. Van Bodegraven continues. In the spring, 1938, the Senior High School won the National Contest for Class B bands with a perfect rating from all judges. Of all the tooters and thumpers at the contest, the Port Band was the only one to receive such an honor. The graduation of 1938 left the band minus eight state champions and greatly weakened. By March 10, however. the band was in admirable shape for the Spring Concert, when students and adults gathered to see the boys and girls in blue and white march onto a fiower-decked stage and give a program which probably made Bach raise l1is eyebrows but then settle down with a satisfied smile along with Mr. Sousa. Early in the year. word came from the Boston School System and the Eastern Music Directors Conference Committee that the Port VVashington Band had been given the honor of appearing at the Boston Latin Schools and opening the Eastern Music Directors' Conference of over 2000 music educators. After long hours of pre- paring a program suitable for such a critical audience, the Band left on March 1-lf, in its own streamlined coaches for Boston. Chaperoned by Mr. Scherer, Miss Buckley and many parents, the Band gave a splendid performance in the city of Beans and Bunker Hill, and incidentally took in a four-hour sight-seeing tour of Boston and Lexington. As this book goes to press, the Band is preparing for the National Contest to be held in New York City, with the possibility of playing under the shadow of the trylon and perisphere looming in the ofiing. May the Band ever conquer fresher and greener musical fields! fifly-eight UItl1IIIC.t I'IiA lux lulta Monday, XXt'lllll'Sll!ly and l'rulay morning, tliv swt-vt nn-lomlivs ol' Ban-li.

Under the artistic tutelage of Miss Allison, they have been chiefly in- terested in the study of the human cranium in three-dimensional form. Using such interesting material as plaster, clay, and wood, they achieved quite remarkable like- nesscs of each other. To wash off any clinging traces of plaster and clay, they conveniently indulged in soap-carving, proving their versatility. Many of the raking coughs heard in the halls this spring were the result of the elub's sorties into the wet fields to commune with nature and to capture her illusive manifestations on paper. Visitors to the National Art Exhibit, Young America Paints, saw many canvases done by the brilliant brushwork of our brothers of the palette who were competing for scholastic honors. As we go to press, it is not known whether or not the coveted honors were obtained. The artistic influence of the art club has extended within the pages of this Port Light. Please notice their embellishments and caricatures on many of its pages.

The necessity of filling positions left vacated by last year's gradu- ates, especially the backfield, was the first task to be taken care of. After weeks of balleting through a maze of tires strewn about the field, hitting the old dummy with umph, and learning all the signals, the blocking, tackling, making of faces and grunting, Port's fighting gentlemenn were ready. The teamis schedule was a difficult one. Of the seven games scheduled, there was not one which could be called a breather. In its first game, Port absorbed a 25 -0 beating at Oceanside, and it appeared as though Port was due to carry on from where they had left off last season. Hicksville, Farmingdale, and Southampton, all strong teams, then proceeded to down a fighting Port team. Nevertheless, Port rooters found some consolation in the fact that, even in the face of such opposition, the Blue and White attack scored in almost every game. Port took an abrupt turn for the better in the remaining games of the season. Roslyn bowed to Port 13- 0. Port then fought a strong Great Neck aggregation to a 6 6 tie in a game played in a sea of rain and mud and received a heart-breaking disappointment in the final seconds when .lessen was unable to hang on to a pass from Clark, due to the slipperiness of the ball. Port entertained Glen Cove in the final game of the season and earned a scoreless tie. The backficld of Clark, Iverson, Biro, and Swan carried out their respective assignments very well, while .lessen and Markland were featured at ends, with Boriotti and Hope holding down tackle positions. Captain Tonsmeire and Neulist did a fine job at guard, and Johanson deserves credit for his fine work at center. Hay, Bessell, and Doyle also played well in the games in which they participated. The team, under the leadership of Captain Ernest Tonsmeire, did a fine job, collectively and individually, and showed a fine spirit throughout the entire season. sh-ty-eight Opp 255 Zli lf- 27 ID 4 0 THE 1938 259 liaskcthall scason was onc of thc most unusual in thc history of thc school.

VVC will, however, try to present as well as we can, the sport-picture to date. Bolstered by the seven veterans who returned to the diamond this Spring, it is expected that a hard-batting team will be produced. Last season's lettermen who will form the nucleus of the new team are: Duffy, Bottligieri, Gould, Harshbarger. Tonsmeire, Clark. Michalowski, and Schauer. The latter two will probably share the mound duties. Last Spring Port's unit succeeded in tying with Roslyn for second place in the leagueg perhaps a more auspicious record may now be anticipated. Contests with Garden City, Mineola. last yearis league winner, Manhasset, Glen Cove, and Great Neck have already been scheduled. With Coach Seeber and assistant Nick Salerno to train them in their proved capable manner, the 1939 baseball Nine promises to be one worth recording. Although several track stars, including Kenny Morrison were lost by graduation. Port's cinder aggregation will be built around the returning lettcrmen. The absence of lfitfcrtz, who has been a leading performer for the past four years, will also be sorely felt. However, this year saw a turnout of fifty-one new enthusiasts who are anxious to prove their worth as point-getters. Some of the experienced runners in the 100, 220-yard dash competition will be Miller, Bessel, Davis. and VVansor, who will attempt to turn in consistently fast performances. Martin, Markey, and Tennerson will undoubtedly demonstrate their fleetness in other phases of this sport. Coach Costellois outlook upon Port's probable showing is certainly optimistic, TENNIS seventy Q1 R Al.. 3 G I, li r N 1 M as are the hopes of Gordon Zwerlein and Phil McKenna to break the Long Island reeord in the shot put, Good luck to our trackmenl Scheduling about eight matehes with Long Island teams, the Port tennis team has begun preparations for another busy season. Back to the Blue fold of racket wielders eome such players as Mazur, Adams, Smith, and Ross. Sinee several of last year's veterans have graduated, the present aspeet of the squad seems rather weak. but it is possible that ample new material may ehange the pietllre. For the past two years the team has broken even, winning only half of their matches. Naturally Coach Brown aspires to a better slate-reading, and all promising players will be developed so that Port may be promoted to the winning ranks. There will eertainly be keen competition among the netmen to seeure the top plaees on the squad. This will arouse more interest in the ever popular sport. May fortune smile upon I'ort's ambitious raequeters. I.ast year Ping Pong was introdueed to this sehool as a team sport. and its enthusiastic reception proves its popular favor among the students. Only two outside matches were seeured, but this is not unusual sinee many other sehools had not yet adopted Ping Pong. It is likely that the schedule card may be lengthened this year when more sehools will answer Port's challenge. The season's squad will inelude Helfrieh. Serofani, Bailey. and Davis who served ably last year. Other members of the organization will probably be seleeted aeeording to their merits evineed in the reeently popular tournament among the boys. Mr. .Iunker guided the team last year and will continue as adviser throughout the eoming season of eompetition whieh promises to be successful. PING PONG seventy-0110 1 1 I RLS, HOCKEY 'l'lll'i tirst defeat in four years was the one dark spot in the hoekey team's very sueeessful season of three vietories and two ties. 'l'he eontests with Southside and Amityville hoth resulted in 2-2 ties. hut Port was deeisively vietorious over Oyster Bay, VVestl1ury, and especially Manhasset. The one defeat was met in the game with Farmingdale, the first loss in four years. VVhen the team attended the School Girl 'l'ournament at Adelphi College. Mary Muro. Jessie Plato, and Jennie Bonezek reeeived the honor of being rated as elass A players. Armed with sticks and ready for action, shinguards donned hopefully for proteetion, the girls played as a fine eo-ordinating unit. And onee more Miss Irene Maher, the popular eoaeh. has done a .job of merit, with manager D. Fenton looking after equipment and sehedules. SOCCER l'Vl'1 got a kiek eomingff' said the soeeer hall as one of our expert players dashed down field with a purposeful glint in her eye. As a matter of reeord, permit us to state that that hall got the kiek and many others during the lirst ganne with Ilieksvilleg henee, the Port vietory. Then and there Soeeer Ball made up its mind to evade the eruel jabs of our players. It is only to that resolution that l'ort's future losses ean he attributed. These defeats were suffered at the hands, foh, pardon, we mean feetj of the Sea Cliff, Baldwin, and South lluntinggton teams. So adamant had the first team's soeeer hall heeome in its desire to remain unharmed and unkieked by the lnunan foot that freversing the eorreet order of things, the seeond team was sueeessful in overpowering the first. A truly popular feature in eonneetion with this sport was the friendly spirit of informality which was evident at the soeial gatherings following eaeh game. It is hardly necessary to add that the serving of refreshments was a highlight whieh beckoned defenders and opponents alike. 'l'he inanaging direetors of this phase of Port's sport life were Peggy Stephenson and lileanor Merrill, who lightened the hurdens of eoaeh Berenice ltieh.

The ltich sisters, the Misses Berenice and Brenda. coached and managed respectively. ARCHERY A LARGE turn-out of would-be Dianas started on three weeks of diligent practice with the bow just after Easter. Un the Tuesdays and 'Thursdays of the following three weeks, the bulls-eyes of the newly-picked squad members were rated until a team of about twenty-five was chosen. Although several crack players had vanished with the 1938 graduating class, about ten lettermen remained to help send the arrows flying. The coach, Miss Rich, called in Mr. and Mrs. Vanderwall to demonstrate technique to the girls, and Marjorie Hall took charge of the equipment. TENNIS THE tennis courts were fairly alive with leaping and lunging feminine figures on Mondays and VVednesdays this spring when our racket-brandishing young ladies dashed about, doing their darndest to hit that ball. A tournament was held, whose lucky winner the Port Lighll-r early deadline forbids mentioning. During these weeks, Miss Maher's apt suggestions and helpful pointers on the game enabled many of the girls to attain a higher whacking average. As a more exciting form of practice than getting out on the court and dashing about in the sun with no visible reward, a ladder tournament was played by the newly-formed squad, to determine the best player. At the games which we surmise came off with such schools as Westbury, Hicksville, Oyster Bay. and Friends Academy, Ethel liralla called ot? the scores. sezwmfy-foul' old lettermen, Shellock, Smith, and Richter, BADMINTON .Xl 'l'l'ill a long and tough period of flying after the birdie, the badminton tournament was won by Mary Muro, with Relnhert Brimm an exceedingly close runner-up. About twenty girls were put on Miss Maher's squad, each of whom had to play all the other members, As we go to press, we find that the team has games scheduled with Southside, Glen Cove, Westbury, Oceanside, Baldwin, Hicksville, Oyster Bay, and Friends Academy. Our racket-ruffers have already played Manhasset and returned with badly dilapidated birds and a shut-out victory. XVith such a good start, a good season seems to be in order. RIDING IN spite of the difficulties of mantel-piece dining, the beginners of the Riding' Club stuck to it every Friday afternoon at three, under the guidance of Joe Bragg, the riding master of the Little Neck Riding Academy. The advanced class is a fine hunch of equestriansg a few of them even learned to jump, brave girls. The whole group nf whip-wavers finished the season with a horse show. PING PONG i AN exciting second season started for the ping-pong team when Mil Lang walked off with the tournament. Then Miss Maher rated her team, and with Nancy Gunther managing. games were played with Man- hasset. Glen l'nve, llieksville. and Oyster Bay. .vezvfrzly-fi'1'P 1' 'L XXX fiifk N ,, E 3, 0 TNDEX O STUDENT JLTTERATTURE 0 ART EMEELLTSHMENTS fymm PORT LIGHT INDEXIHJ Page 81 Wee Flea or VVe Flee Nigrht Fog Page HJ VVhy Is A Duck?

Dick Roberts THE TINY HEART Birds seldom tell us of their troubles. To be sure, when their homes are in danger, or when their little ones are killed or carried off, some parent birds let us know by their frantic cries how real and bitter is their grief. And of course, hungry nestlings often clamor for food. But usually, full grown birds, like all thoroughbreds, take their troubles, their dangers, and even death itself, with quiet courage and with- out any fuss. If they didn't, I'm afraid their sympathetic human neighbors would get little rest, for they are beset by so many dangers and face death in so many forms that I sometimes wonder how any of them manage to escape. Of these ordeals the elements are among the worst and least controllable. Storms often kill thousands of birds in a few hours. The small birds which, during migration, cross large bodies of water, desert, and barren wastes show courage and stamina not common to many creatures. Consider the courage of the tiny humming-birds winging their way across the Gulf of Mexico. Overtaken by a storm, plucky as they are, their tiny muscles are no match for the mighty winds which sweep the water, and they are beaten backward and downward, with no spot on which to rest even for a moment. Even in such dark hours, their courage asserts itselfg they do not give up, but battle still with their giant foc, which hurls them far from their course. Then perhaps comes a cold and driving rain, which soaks their plumage and increases the burden already too great for the weary muscles. Down they go toward the roaring water beneath them, until they are met by the leaping waves, which lick them into the deep, where the last spark of their dauntless courage is quenched in death. Next morning their tiny, bright- eolored bodies may be found strewn for miles along the coast among the shells and pebbles of the beach. The next time you see a bright colored little bird cheerfully searching for food, consider it not as a lower creature made for the entertainment of or usefulness to man, but as a befeathered lump of pure clean courage to be admired and respected. D. J. Brimm Wfgllflll-1100 THE 1939 LITTLE THINGS WHICH MAKE BIG DIFFERENCES Of course you can go, dear, if-you have the money, it isn't raining, someone else is going, and you have your homework done. Thus fond Mamma speaks to little Johnny when he wants to watch the j itterbugs. It makes Johnny feel very downcast, and life seems very futile. Think how much happier he'd be if fond Mamma hadn't said if! Wouldn't he feel wonderful if, when starting out for an evening's enter- tainment, his mother said: Of course you can go, dear-you have the money, it isn't raining, someone else is going, and you have your homework done ? If is a very little word. But think of the way it's affecting little Johnny's life. It's the difference between hope and despair. You know, little things have a habit of popping up and changing things, changing even the course of human events. Look at Napoleon. Think of what a little worm can do to a big appleg or a little hole to a big tireg or a little decimal point to a big price tag-why, that's the difference between a puffy pocketbook and a nervous breakdown. I think there's some proverb about little things making a difference. but I canlt think of it just now. It might be A stitch in time saves nine because there are eight more stitches in nine than there are in one. fJust a matter of simple math.j On February first, quite a few drivers discovered what a numeral could do. For instance, a '38 instead of a '39 on a license plate meant a day in jail with nothing to do but eat baloney. A hat, vintage of ,88, a half-size too small might be mistaken for the latest creation because it perches on the top of your head, or a misprint might be the difference between a women's page and a cartoon, or a little mouse might ruin a woman's appearance of self-possession. Little things make BIG DIFFERENCES! Ethel Bralla MEMORIES AT DUSK When the dusk falls In eventide I see you once more At my side.

Philip McKer1na eighty-ihree PORT LIGHT HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY The entire atmospllere of the room was warm and moist and pervaded by the strong, unharmoniously mingled smell of arnica and sweaty bodies. The glare of the lights accentuated the rcdgflush of excitement on the face of the busy trainer as hc worked furiously to prepare his charge for the night's work. There was little sound in the room except for the piercing din of the vast crowd overhead which was blanketed by the thick oaken door into a muffled roar that did not insinuate itself into thought but remained at the outposts of consciousness. Now there was a voice outside. Okay, Lefty: You're on! Lefty Foran, 198 pounds of beautifully proportioned athlete, started dazedly from the rubbing table and, donning a dark blue bathrobe with the assistance of three or four seconds who swarmed around him like flies, strode out of the dressing room into the chilly passage- way beyond. Then Joe Morrow, his manager, was beside him, tersely shouting out last minute instructions on ring strategy which drifted past Lefty's understanding without a glimmer of covmrellension. The handsome features of the challenger for the world's heavyweigl.. . - were contorted into a mask of troubled bewilderment. Morrow stole a glance at him and suddenly stopped talking. It was obvious that Lefty was worrying-something he had never done in the past, and Morrow didn't like it. He was used to a happy-go-lucky guy who inspired confidence in everyone with his gay, unworried manner. The new Lefty was a total stranger, and his manager was greatly concerned. Finally, they reached the arena, and a tremendous ovation greeted the colorful, murderous-hitting challenger. Lefty Foran didn't notice the applause. As he shuffled listlessly down the aisle that cut a wide swath in the tightly packed multitude, toward the brilliantly, luminated ring, he was thinking: they told me to throw it--take a dive. I gotta. Thcy'll get me if I cross 'em. Don't care for myself. Joan and the baby- they need me. Here's the ring-gotta climb through the ropes4God, the lights! I can't see-there's the stool-better now. But I can't throw it. Nobody can say Lefty Foran took a dive! I ain't afraid of their guns-I'll knock that palooka cold! VVhat's 'at they usta say in church-honesty's the best policy. Joe was whispering calmly in his ear. Watch his left hook, the short one on the break away. He'll drop it. Take one and let him have that right on the conk. Kid, you're practically champ now! Go to it ! Both fighters were in thc center of the ring receiving instructions from the referee. VVhat'sa matter, Lefty-nervous? The champ was even more bulldozing than usual, reassured by the fact that the fight was fixed. VVatch your step, Jerry. I'm not tanking tonight. What, the champ gaped confusedly, you're pulling a double cross? I'm just warning you in advance. I'm gonna smack your head offln Lefty turned abruptly and went to his corner. The ten second warning buzzer burred portentously. Stools were quickly whisked out of the ring and both fighters, throwing off their robes, rubbed their sneaks in the rosin-their backs to each other. The bell! Lefty glided effortlessly from his corner and met the champ coming out. He had made his decision and he would fight accordingly. Sometime soon, perhaps in the first round, he would get his opening. He knew that. He and Joe had spent long hours studying the champ's style on movie films to find a possible flaw in the seemingly faultless teclmique. One day they discovered it-a small detail that no one had detected, but Joe noticed it. The ability to win was his, and he would utilize that ability, unhesitatingly and without fear of consequences, when his opportunity came. The champ clinched and Lefty felt that the moment was near. His opponent broke eighty-fou r THE 1939 voluntarily, and suddenly the muscles of his left arm constricted. A dead give-away! The left hook was on its way and he deftly stepped in and took it high on the head. In a split instant-there it was. The opening. The champ had dropped his guard! Lefty did not falter. His limp right hand coiled and shot from his chest with the speed and deadliness of a cobra. Then the dull thud of leather against bare skin as the champion of the world pitched lifelessly to the canvas Hoor, knocked stone cold by a terrific right hook to the jaw. As the count reached ten, a wave of happiness and relief passed over Lefty. He had done the right thing. He hadn't thrown the fight. A streak of orange flame seared across the ring and found its mark. Lefty crumpled slowly to the canvas from a blow more lethal than any punch. He gasped for breath- a burning pain rent his chest. They did it-shot me. As the black curtain of death slowly descended on Lefty-a curtain which can never again be raised-a feeble sneer fell from his trembling lips. Honesty's the best policy, even if it kills ya! George Levine BEES Of all animals, universally spoken of in awe or slanders, the skunk and the bee seem to head the list. The bee is probably the most wondered at and feared of the two. His system of government is democratic and unique, his sting painful, his honey delicious and, believe it or not, his temper and nature somewhat resemble our human traits. VVe can learn much in the form of government from him. The bee is my friend, except on those periodic occasions when I must go into his hive against his will. Strange to say, however, he is not the mean demon that he is made out to be, and if handled with a little care is quite an agreeable pet. His form of government, as I have said, is quite unique. It is headed by the supreme ruler, the queen. Her rule is by love and necessity, however, for although she has a stinger, she will not use it except on another rival queen. In return the workers never sting a queen, but if dissatisfied with her smother her with their bodies. The queen's sole duty is to lay eggs, more than 1000 per minute at times. She is fed, groomed, and cared for by a special force of workers which seem to be assigned to the task. The next of importance to the hive are its workers, the common hee you are familiar with. They gather the nectar, convert it into honey, secrete the wax, and make the comb in which the honey is kept. Other duties are caring for the young, the queen, and the drones. Each does its own task and is always willing to protect its hive with its life. The last, and probably least important of the clan, is the drone or male, a big, bulky, noisy fellow. His bark is worse than his bite. He flies about with a very menacing sound, but is harmless, having no stinger. He does no work, must be fed, and is of no use to the hive after the spring. So therefore, he is liquidated in early summer by his more useful sisters. At this day and age we can take a lesson from the bee. They do away with all their degenerates and bums. As a result, they are probably the highest form of insect alive today. As to our national defense problem, why not be like the bees? VVould you stick your head in a beehive? No. VVhy? You would get stung. Well, if our country was so protected as to be able to sting any aggressive nation, don't you think tlley would hesitate to stick their heads in our hive?

His thoughts, during the fifteen-minute walk to the dentist, were not impregnated with dread but with mild annoyance, like that which is felt when one goes to school on a warm spring day. The last two times he had gone, just a cleaning of his teeth had been necessary. Without a fear, he went up the dingy stairs two at a time and strode to the door of the dentist. Settling down in one of the modern easy chairs, he glanced at a magazine until summoned by the nurse. He leaned back into the chair after a pleasant word with the dentist and prepared for the worst. Oh well, he thought, I'll be out of here in half an hour. While his teeth were being jabbed and scratched, he examined some of the equipment as well as he could--the drills, in all shapes and sizes, and other devices which were arranged in orderly fashion on the shiny, metal stand. The painted squares of ceiling became monotonous and his mind wandered, thinking of many things. As the doctor finished his inspection, thoughts of the inevitable crowded into his brain. The little brush and the way it tickled, the frequent mouth-washings, the application of the toothpaste and other oddities were among them. Instead of the awaited Just need cleaning, One cavity, was the startling announcement. This statement alarmingly interrupted his dreamy reverie. Immediately his thoughts flew back to times when he had had his cavities filled. The thought of the pain certainly was not pleasant. Most of the discomfort is imagined, he thought, giving himself a mental pep talk. It won't take long, the drilling shouldn't take more than a minute or two. With steadying nerves he watched as the little drill was inserted and the cotton rolls were put in his mouth. Not a trace of fear showed on l1is face as the rapidly revolving drill bit into the enamel of his diseased tooth. He wondered what the hole in the making looked like, and as the instrument hit the infected part, he felt a cold sensation over his heart. The dentist gave him several brief interludes of respite when he stopped drilling to probe and examine his teeth. As the bad section was bored out, a nauseous and grinding pain went up and down his backbone. Oh! what agony! The dentist seemed to move the drill around in his tooth the way an egg beater is moved in a bowl to stir all the batter evenly. Involuntarily he shrank down in his seat as the whirling point dug into his tooth, and when it made a vicious twist, he realized that this was the apex of the pain. Almost abruptly the drilling stopped, and as the filling was ap- ' plied he sighed happily in the knowledge that fdlzn ' , ,Q-N-su fl it was all over. w- When the nurse said, That's all, he stumbled to his feet and returned to the wait- ing room. While putting on his hat and coat he realized it hadn't been so bad after all, but Y T left the building with the air of one who has N successfully passed life's crisis. X Keith W. Cramblet l L ' KH. eighty-seven PORT LIGHT MUSIC AND MEMORIES Music produces many varied reactions on those who, in their love for it, permit its power full sway. While searching through a collection of old compositions recently, I came upon a special interpretation of Nearer My God to Thee. In trying it over on the piano I found it had many variations all built around the original melody. My father, who was listening, said, I wish you would learn to play that well. Some people might think the selection out of date but, to me, it will always be as fresh and new as on the day I first heard it. Then, somewhat to my surprise, he continued to speak in a quiet thoughtful tone as though he were reading back into time for every word. ' It happened in England, quite a few years ago, before you were born, he said to me. I was out walking and, as so often happens, had lost myself completely in the maze of my own thoughts. Suddenly I was conscious of having stopped to listen. From the open window of a nearby house I heard the strains of 'Nearer My God to Thee,' the very same interpretation that you now have before you. Without knowing why, I found myself unable to continue my walk. Something was holding me. I wanted to hear more of the music, and I felt I must see and know the one who played. The music stopped and at the window there appeared a young girl. I shall always remember the beauty of her dark eyes and the wealth of her long black hair which framed a face of unforgettable sweetness. Then, as I returned her smile, the window closed and she was gone. To me, son, that composition will always recall a moment, beautiful and fateful, in my life. As my father concluded, I found myself smiling. There was no need to tell the sequel of the story. You see, my mother's eyes and hair are black and she is beautiful.

I read the Revolution over twice last night, and that was no easy matter. VVhy couldn't they have fought all the battles in one or two places? But no, they had to meander back and forth, up and down all over the map. Those names we had to remember were terrible, Thaddeus Kassuus, for instance. YVho was he? Oh, some Polish soldier. I think they dragged him into the war to confuse us. How do I think I'll make out on the tests? I don't know.

I can't get the least bit of consolation home, because the folks just look at me and shake their heads and say with a knowing smile, 'If you had just studied instead of listening to Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman, you wouldn't have to eram now.' Parents are funny that way. They don't seem to realize that listening to those bands is part of our education. Why, listening to Tommy Dorsey playing 'I'm Getting Sentimental Over You' does more toward firing my imagination than reading a dozen poetry books. Oh dear! There goes the bell. Good-bye, Jean, and good luck. Well, at least we can thank heaven that marks only close once every six weeks. Mariy Willis IN THE SPRING A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY. . .

And last there was Pat, a quiet enough individual, who was soggy with homesickness and lay on everyone's bed but her own, and who had unlimited supplies of forbidden candy which she hoarded until it mildewed. These are the friends to whom I grind out letters at irregular intervals. We all start out the same dull way. Dear so and so and proceed with I was so bored, and had nothing else to do, that I decided to write you a letter, which of course Hatters the reader no end. Then we comment on how awful the weather is and how we wish it would snow, and two more lines have been added. It is useless to waste spicy morsels of home town gossip on them, for they don't know any of the people, furthermore have never even been on Long Island, hence news must be quite universal if it is to make any impression on them at all. We have found that listing our school subjects in a vertical column covers much paper. I even discovered that by stretching my writing a bit I could make the list cover an entire page, which was a valuable invention, because it leaves me with only one other page on which I must write of other topics. We all conclude our letters in much the same way also. Using those stock excuses of bad ink, bum pen, hence messy letter, and with a few decidedly false reasons to explain wlly we haven't written sooner, we sign our names and heave a huge sigh of mutual relief! Barbara Riggs SLEEP VERSUS EDUCATION As my alarm clock rents the air with a burring which shakes from my frowsy brain the last semblance of sweet repose, As I throw aside my soft, warm covers which envelop me like a god-given wraith of sunshine amid the darkness of a tempest, As I prepare to make the supreme sacrifice for the sake of indispensable knowl- edge, Suddenly, with the sharpness of a knife primed on nature's own whetstone, an icy wind engulfs me, leaving me cold-my lips tremble-I gasp for air-my frame quivers-I totter uncertainly on the brink of indecision-and then suddenly-warm covers all around me-engulfing me-pampering me into a state of subconscious delight-aw, heck with education! George Levine ninety THE 1939 A DUEL In the museum there may be seen many swords: hunting swords, court swords :ind numerous others. The sword I shall briefly describe is a court sword. It is shiny now but hasn't always been so. Once it dripped with the blood of a young man who had fallen in a duel. The story is as follows: It was a cloudy, sultry nigllt in July, in the year 17419. Not a leaf stirred and everything was still and quiet except for the sounds of music that floated through the open windows of the ballroom. Inside the palace things were far from sultryg there were the sounds of dancing feet and the merry ring of laughter. The light from thousands of candles seemed intensified as they dazzled on the jewels. Satin, velvet, :md brocade shimmered as they whirled about. But in one corner of the ballroom all was not so peacefulg trouble was brewing. Two young men were engaged in a heated discussion which terminated when the gauntlet smote Sir Charles in the face. The challenger, Lord Dunmore, was reputed to be the best swordsman in the courtg per- haps that explains why Sir Charles' friends restrained him as he instinctively reached for his sword. Sir Charles, however, was not to be pacified. He had been insulted and had to defend his honor. This was what Lord Dunmore wanted. He had provoked this quarrel purposely, because he wished to kill Sir Charles. It follows that Sir Charles was engaged to the woman Lord Dunmore loved. So why not kill him in a duel? It was perfectly legal. Sir Charles accepted the challenge, and both adversaries retired to a secluded spot in the garden with their respective seconds. Both drew their swords. On guard. said Lord Dunmoreg they crossed blades and the duel commenced in earnest. Overhead, flashes of lightning illuminated the sky and silhouetted the figures of the duelists. In the beginning Sir Charles, wild and infuriated, thrust madly while Lord Dunmore merely parried his wild sallies. But presently Sir Charles began to breathe harder and each flash of lightning showed Lord Dunmore driving his opponent farther :md farther back. Finally, his back to a tree and still fighting wildly, Sir Charles received the fatal tllrust and fell gasping. The blood dripping from Lord Dunmore's sword made the ground look as if it had been showered with red raindrops. The lace cravat of Sir Charles, once white and immaculate, was fast becoming crimson. His seconds ran for a surgeon, though they felt that it was useless. Sir Charles stiffened with agony and then relaxed as he gasped his last breath. Lord Dunmore, with a look of intense satisfaction on his cruel face, took a lace handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his sword painstakingly, put it back in its seabbard, and left, his night's work well done.

I rise, prepare myself for school Qto do any neglected homework is quite out of the questionj, cat my breakfast. and wait. By that time the clock has usually rolled around to seven o'clock, and I begin picturing the morning procedure of the mailman. He must be eating his breakfast now. Because this is Monday, and a busy day, he probably eats more than usual. taking up more of my precious time. Now he is putting on his coat, kissing his wife good-bye, setting out for the post oflice. He's separating his mail-I wonder if he reads the postal cards? Ah! he spies my letter, muttering to himself that he might have known it would be there-but what if it wasn't? Oh heavens! and once more I fly into a dither which I am quite unable to control for the remainder of the wait. The family are up by now. Noise, confusion, haste, all so unnecessary and so thoughtless when I am in this state of mind. I try a manicure. Things go along nicely until the polish is applied. I have even given up wearing polish on Mondays, for I just ean't get it on smoothly. Sometimes I try listening to a late news flash. A mail train has been wreckedng hurriedly I snap off the radio and settle myself for a half hour of thumb-twiddling. foot tapping, and brain wandering. The hands slowly creep to eight-thirty.

The sun leaves sunbeams in the eyes and a spring in the walkg the storms leave furrows on the brow and the dull weather sub- dues the spirits. It is a person's character which tempers the effects of the elements. There is one old man in particular, whom I have met, whose face is an interesting blend of spirit and circumstances. His eyes hold friendly sunshine and soft shadows, his mouth is determined, his hands are rough and strong, and his physique healthy and youthful. These features give but a hint of the story behind this lovable little fellow. He was born and raised in the poverty-stricken Kentucky mountains. Like his father before him, he became a farmer. His life demonstrates that the greatest kindness is among the poor. This poor farm boy was one of the kindliest of his class. He often said that he was never happier than when he was helping someone. It must have been this Christian spirit which moved him towards the holy orders. As he had neither the time nor money to get a great education, he merely gained a missionary training. With his unselfish interest in others, his kindly philosophy, and his implicit faith in the gospel which he preached, he soon won many true friends in his humble community. They gave him a little church but could not afford to pay him a salary. There he became a hardworking farmer and a sincere missionary, believing in the saying Charity begins at home. During all his life he had an interesting hobby at which he showed much talent- he was a skillful sculptor. When the crash came many of the palatial homes still held the beautiful marble carvings on fireplaces and staircases which he had done. He, himself, found no market left for his works in a country held in the grip of a great depression. His income diminished, he bravely adapted his talents to the changed world. He then carved little wood trinkets, and animals, and comic strip characters out of cocoanut bark as moderately priced souvenirs for the Florida tourist trade. It was in his little shop where he sits carving that I first saw him. He is gen- erally surrounded by a group of both young and old who watch his skillful hands bring character to simple slabs of wood, as they listen to his kindly and wise philos- ophy. Life's autumn finds this gentle son of a farmer still sowing the seeds of human kindness. You may know that his second spring will be a fine one for, As ye sow so shall ye also reap. The sun was gradually disappearing Clouds gathered dark and gloomy, And soon the hot pavement Was wet and sloppy. Umbrellas opened, slickers tightenedg Windshield Wipers swung madly. Lightning flashedg thunder crashedg Whistles shrieked, and foghorns bellowed. ninety-four Ina Campbell RAIN Rain poured continually. Oh, my kingdom for an umbrella! An umbrella I bought and hastily opened, But lo, to my disappointment The rain ceased to flow. The sun shone once again. Violet Levy THE 1939 HORSEBACK RIDING VVhat a long way down it is to good old terra firma ! is the first thought that comes to your mind, as you sit mounted on your mighty steed for the first time. In the first lesson your instructor is very patient and understanding. You and horse walk around a large fence in a closed area called an instruction ring, both feel- ing slightly nervous. Finally toward the end of an hour you are bumping up and down after struggling to get the horse into what your instructor calls a trot. CThis is the knack of posting, an up and down movement in rhythm with the horse which takes the bumps out of trotting, which you do not find until after several les- sons.j At this point, life seems quite futile. You might just as well curl up in some cozy corner and pass outg but you do stick it out. After the lesson, as you dismount. the earth suddenly comes closer very quickly and you realize that your knees almost forgot to hold you in a vertical position. What a joy to be walking on your own legs again! Although your legs didn't feel stiff enough a few moments ago, they begin to feel a little too stiff now. You hustle home, after you give the poor horse a lump of sugar as reward for a trying hour, and pop yourself into a steaming tub of what is prac- tically boiling water, to get rid of the horsy smell. Such comfort there is in soak- ing! But just wait until you get the beginner's morning after which is anywhere except in the head. You ache from shoulder to toe, but if you have any spirit, you haven't finished with Dobbin, or he with you. The next few lessons are spent in mastering and perfecting the art of posting and trying to keep your elbows in, knees light, and sit up straight. The instructor keeps firing these directions at you until you feel as if you never want to see another horse. How discouraging it all seems for such a long while. All of a sudden, something snaps! The instructor says, Now, that was fine! Why l1aven't you done it that way before? We'll learn to canter next time. You are so weak at the sound of those words, everything goes black and all is over until the next time when you know only too well he will start all over to bark the same directions.

By diligent attendance at the local cinema palace almost anyone, moron or otherwise, can learn the technique and fine points of the magnificent old American art of the use of the blackjack, One can also attain proficiency in piloting a Buick through a plate-glass window, and in frisking a man for his valuables. For cinema-goers with more romantic tendencies, there is always instruction in the quick draw, and in shooting from the hip. Or-while we are being enthralled by the inspiring spectacle of a still-twitching corpse at the wrong end of a noosed lariat, swung over a tree's branch, we can soak up data on the proper way to drill a clean hole through a man's body. Indeed, after such a splendid opportunity to learn the correct method, we most certainly would be ashamed of ourselves if we didn't do a clean job with our gat. It is no wonder that we shall soon become a race of supermen and superwomen at this rate, for such progress as we have made is undeniably significant of reaching one of two highest rungs in the educational ladder. Already we are running far ahead of other countries, who are so foolish as to believe that it does not pay to have sucll noble scenes cast before the eyes of the public. Luckily, in our country at least, there is a general recognition of the beneficial effect of these necessary adjuncts to our education. Martin D. Lewlis EASTPORT The sun shone down warm on my back, as I sat on the edge of the wharf watching the gulls soaring and gliding, up and down, snatch- ing bits of garbage or dead fish from the fac- tory. I wondered what they prized most, way up there next to heaven. Did they look down on the earth and wonder what we poor humans thought as we went about our daily affairs? I gazed out over the water and mused, There lie the greatest tides of the world. I have but to reach out and touch them with my hand. I watched the water as it flowed in- differently along the shore. It rippled and gurgled like a peacock preening its feathers.

Today this scene Was dear and beautiful. To- morrow fog would enshroud the whole country, water and islands, in a gray velvet cloak of mystery. The World would be silent except for the lonesome, weird wailing of the foghorn. This foghorn sounds mournful and yet seems to have a triumphant note. It must know that it has the power of saving fishing boats from being dashed to bits on the rocks of the sea coast. There is a sad side to Eastport, this fascinating little town far up on the coast of Maine. It was once a thriving fishing village, now it is a quiet, almost empty ghost town. There occurred a definite change, due to a great disappointment. This change is written on the face of every passerby. But even with this great decrease in money and tourists, the people will never change. Neither will the beauty of that town. Even the empty store and old rotten buildings, the useless factories and the de- caying wharfs lend a certain proud air of what has been and could be again. Marjorie W'hitc ninety-seven Pu H'l' LIG H 'I' MILADY'S AID Modern girls would indeed find life a bit difficult without those small handy clasps which go by the appellation, bobby pins. The origin of the name for this undernourished crowbar is not very complex. Perhaps some youthful lass employed this useful hairpin to clamp down her Bobby of the moment. I assure you that this statement is not pitched too far into the depths of obscureness, for it is an accepted fact that the petite fille must sport the latest word in coiifures. The priceless attribute of the bobby pin is that of adaptability. It is as helpful to the staid, prim maid with plainly severe crown of glory as it is to the dashingly demure miss with the pert, piquant charm of the new up hair-do. The plebeian hairpin has the disconcerting habit of slipping off and becoming lost, leaving one's hair to go its unruly way. The hairpin does not possess that tenacity of purpose and stick-to-it-iveness whch characterizes the faithful bobby pin which will never desert one in the hour of need. Oh, of course, there is always the black baa-baa of the family who will not abide by the established standards of his clan and through sheer perversity will sally forth from golden or brunette tresses, as the case may be, without so much as a by-your-leave, to be kicked around in this bustling world of ours. Like most black sheep, it does not find life the bed of roses it had naively anticipated, but a succession of painful kicks on hard, cold pavements and in dreary corners. The bobby pin family is, however, generally accepted in the best of society as being the most dependable and worthy of admittance in the select groups. Its stray members are not numerous and hence do not militate against the good name estab- lished since the inception of the race. Hats off to the bobby pin!

Virginia Biggs ninety-nine PC IRT LIGHT LA LEQON DE MUSIQUE Once a week Cusually on a Wednesday, when I have numerous other things to doj, Mr. X Qhis identity will remain unknownj, my illustrious piano-teacher, runs cheerily down Ivy Way and arrives at our front door, practically knocking it down in an effort to stop himself, Ivy Way has an extremely steep hill and our house is, unfortunately, right at the bottom of it. When, in response to the loud banging which ensues, someone finally opens the door, Mr. X is tllus enabled to fall quite flat on the threshold. It is then that I make my appearance. Abandoning homework with a meaning sigh and scuffing out of the study with an air of discontent, I give Mr. X my usual acid greeting. Then we proceed toward the playroom where the piano now rests with aggravating pride and placidity. It's always cold in the playroom, because we use it very little during the week, and it seems particularly chilly on Wednesdays. Since Mr. X is more than likely to catch pneumonia Cwhich would be quite jolly for everyonej, I run up and turn on the register, thinking as I do so that Dad would be furious if he knew that anyone was fooling with the heating system. But on with the music lesson! After blundering through something entitled French Drinking Song, I sit back and attempt to appear proud, which is merely a bluff, because I haven't practised all week and X knows it as well as I do. He has, quite naturally, several criticisms to make. I remain seated, staring icily and then gloomily into space. Meanwhile he quacks, in a steady monotone, about the time or something similar. I, on the other hand, am concerned wth another kind of time-the time of day! After nodding affably and pretending to see what it is he's driving at, I am requested to play it over again. Having no alternative, I do so. This time it's a little worse, if anythingg bravely I push on through it, in a manner that Beethoven would have dis- P I approved of highly. Continuing to murder ll l l notes right and left, I am dimly aware of X x counting out the time, in desperation.

James Renson GRAND CANYON Two years ago, on a trip across the country, I saw a sight that I will never forget. This was the sunrise that I witnessed at the Grand Canyon. I was standing on the rim as the first gray streaks of dawn filled the world with a pale unearthly light. As it became a little brighter the walls and higher peaks of the canyon began to show up. They were indistinct, however, and wrapped in a filmy blue haze. The color varied from a light blue at the top to black, as I looked down into its obscure depths. It stayed like this till the first rays of the sun crept over the rim and completely changed the scene. First they touched only the southern edge and the peaks in the center of the canyon, leaving the rest still veiled in mist. As the sun rose higher, it slowly turned the rest of the canyon into a blaze of color: red, blue, yellow, and green. It also revealed a labyrinth of mountains, valleys, plateaus, and cliffs cut by thou' sands of years of erosion. The finale to this awe-inspiring spectacle came when the light touched the river at the bottom of the gorge. It transformed it into a ribbon of silver, winding its way between gold and crimson crags and losing itself in the blue shadows.
