God could not have created all the grace and beauty of the world without harmony,the basis of all poetry and music. There is poetry in the regularity of day and nightgin the seasons,for there is always summer,fall,winter and spring. There is music in the stormy day and in the beautiful sunshine,in the starlight and in the sunrise. There is poetry and music from the ever-snowy North Pole to the never-ending heat of the Equator. There is also the poetry and music defined as such. There are always poems to read for relaxation or to enrich one's mind,er for the student to study as an English assign ment. There is always music for pleasure or study,or to hum and whistle as one goes about one's work. There was poetry and music in the making of our America. lt was in the chopping down of the wilderness,in the building of those crude lop cabins,and in the defiant cries of freedom-loving people. It was in the fearless courage of the pioneers pushing westward,in the marvelous invention,and in the making of our beautiful cities. Today,there is music and poetry in the marching of feet,the firing of guns,the explosion of bembs,the whir- ring of sirens,the scream of the wounded,the cries of the starving,in the banglcrashl of steel against steel,in the t-t-t-t-t of the riveter,in the splash of a snip lowered into the sea. Although all this rubble and devastation is strange and horrible,it is nevertheless poetry and music, for all poetry does not render a pleasant atmesphere,and all music is not soft and sweet. No one can mean it when he says he does not like music or poetry. It is all around him and he cannot escape it. There is poetry in the rhythmic rocking of baby's cradle,and music in the sweet lullabies that quiet him. There is music in the ringing of school bells all over the world calling children to learn,and poetry in the beauti- ful languages of the various countries. Poetry and music are everywhere,every day. One can hear them in the rattling of dishes being washed or the sweeping of floors,while the mowing machine is busy in the fields,when the butcher sharpens his cleaver,while the secretary pounds her type- writer,in the sharp whistle of the traffic policeman,in the ringing of the church bells on Sunday mornings,in ..... 'W.QBESCEhTa W as a T- a 5a the lowing of cattle,in the blaring of horns,in the barking of dogs,and the laughter of children. In peace or war,in calm or strife,through plea- sure or pCin,music and poetry are with us from the rocking of the cradle to the silence of the grave. ' Ruth Ranks U ., 'N' -,r wr HDEAR FRIENDS AND GENTLE HEARTSH It was about one hundred years ago in Philadelphia that Stephen Foster had his first song published. Since then people all over the United States,indeed all over the world,have learned to love his melodies of the South of which Foster wrote with love even though he never went any further South than Pennsylvania. When we sing these wellknown sengs,do we ever wonder if his immortal songs were Hcomposadn from his own life? Do we ever think of the hardships of that young composer? Today,even though we think of his works as masterpieces which should have sold for perhaps five hundred dollars, do we realize how little he received for his works? Host ef his compositions were sold for ten dollars or if he were more fortunate,3ifteen or twenty dollars. And, you ask,n.hy did he not receive more for his precious time and efforts?H That we can not answer,ner can anyone,for fate stepped in at just the fatal hour,for all his life he ' was unrecognized for the great artist that he was.... an artist who could paint pictures into his songs.... pictures that will live in our memories for years and even centuries to come. Yet he was unproelaimed as suehg all his life he lived in poverty,sometimes being fortu- nate enough to obtain a lodging for twenty-five cents a night,sometimes not having enough money to buy food. Stephen Foster was a kindly man always striving to gain the fortune which was rightfully hisgalways obli- god to work for even a meager sum. The one happiness in his life was his beloved wife,Jane,for whom he composed HJeanie Tith The Light Brown Hairn. They were happy together for only a short time as his wife left him because he was unable to support her. Ve wonder whether if she had been true to him he would have obtained the fame which he should have had? Would his works have been sold for a small fortune? We can only guess what the outcome of his life would have been......only guess the answer to these many ques- tions,for there are a great many questions in the life of Stephen Foster. When in 1864 Foster died,no one knew or cared except,perhaps,his biographer,John Tasker Howard,for it was he who found in Foster's purse a few coins u I . X p 5 .1 Qu. l s frsaamassesmr -so f o -o-. amounting to the great sum of thirty-eight cents aid a slip of paper upon which was perhaps,the title td-a new unwritten song,HDcar Friends and Gentle Heartsn.

The radio has done a great deal towards introducing our music to the other countries and bringing their music back to us. For instanco,hexico's radio station XEU,the Voice of Latin America,is heard far into the United States and our programs are being heard in Mexico and Central America. The Mexicans like to hear our symphony orchestras and also our hillbilly music. One of their favorites was HPistol Packin' Maman. Mexican dance music seems to be very popular with most Americans. Many or their songs have been played and sung over and over again in North and South America. One of them was HBesame Nuchou. Moving pictures are also doing their share towards bringing our countries closer together. Today the movies have a large amount of music in them. New the members of our fighting forces are carrying our musie,songs and dances to the far corners of the earth. Soon they'll be bringing songs from those far countries back to us. Thethor it's a stirring march from Canada or a soft ballad from Ireland,we learn it and like it. Also we like and understand the people who sent it to us a little better. Beverly Harmonifgg swf . .

The subjects are first studied in the classroom, so that the boys get the fundamentals first. Then practice ans skills era gained through A constructing and repairing farm equipment in the shop. The blacksmithing equipment of the Agriculture Department has been perhaps the most useful of all the facilities. However, early last year it was realized that some drastic change would have to be made in the set-up of the forges, due to the soot end dust from their finding their way up to the classroom and into the books and other equipment upstairs--despite the fact that there was a large exhaust fan connected to the forge hoods. In searching for a small separate building to house the forges, Mr. Shipman found that part of the old horse sheds in back of the high school could be moved and converted into a suitable blacksmith shop. About three weeks after the opening of school in the fall, the boys, under the direction of Mr. Shipman, lugged tools and ladders to the old sheds and proceeded to gain practical experience in various phases of shop work which they had started or were about to study. For instance, not all of the sheds were wanted, so the boys sawed off a third, sawing through the roof at the desired point. After bracing, the two pieces of the roof were slid down on the tracks with comparative ease. Next the walls were separated and carefully taken down and laid aside. The Junior class, in the meantime, had set up the locations for the foundation posts for the building by use of the farm level. Collapsible forms were made for the foundation posts,and they were put into position and leveled. The forms were poured with concrete and after .Z.5.-........- .......,--....,,...........--.,..l lHl?.. CRESCENT ..- ,L four days, the parts were brought from the rear of the ' high school building. The floor was carried into place, resting exactly on the posts, while the walls were . la?d down next to the place where they were to gon The boys built one new wall, the one next to the Agriculture building, and modified the others. It was found necessary to take the roof section entirely apart. The boys learned how to take the roof- ing nails out without injuring the sleteecovered shingles and were told to save every neil and strip of shingle. One of the boys wondered aloud if they nhad to save the neil-holes, tooln They cut new rafters for one side and then put up a better roof then they ' took down, with very few new boards necessary, at that, New roofing paper and the cerefullymsaved shingles were then put on. The sides of the building were shingled with the boys working in smell groups, with competition for the best work among the groups. We now have a fine 17 by BO building that will house four forges easily. The double doors in the front will make it possible for machinery to be driven right up to the front, and will mike it a good place to work in the summer during rainy deys. The shop ia a year- reund proposition. Mr. Shipman is employed by the State Department of Education during the summer and stays on the job helping agricultural students with their projects, giving any sssistince to farmers, and repeire ing machinery. ' As an extra service, to the com unity and farmers Mr. Shipman has conducted evening Defense Training classes during the winter and spring terms. Farm Machinery Repair courses have been conducted because they are the ones which would benefit the greatest number, especially since new machinery is scarce. The farmers are encouraged to use the facilities of the shop, with Mr. Shipman willing to help repair and weld machinery.

Scouting was in its infancy then, having been organized in 1910, but already its significance to future leadern ship was clear to these war veterans. They knew what the value of good leadership was in the field of battle. They did their job magnificently, and right now 2,500 scout units are sponsored by the American Legion. New the older scouts have gone to war, and the young scouts are carrying on at home. As a matter of fact, one third of the men in our Armed Services have been scouts, and they insist there should be more cub scouts at home, because scouting has done the most to prepare them for this great war ordeal. They are taught discipline and how to get along by themselves when necessary, also respect and good Willa Scouting hits juvenile delinquency on the nose by keeping boys busy at things they like to do. Boys are full of energy, and it must have its outlets. They want to go flashing from one end of the world to the other, both in mind and bodyg or to run a mile to see a fire, or wait an hour in the cold wind at a theatre entrance. Let youth voyage, see all he will, do all he may, he will live in all kinds of weather and never be the worse if he is guided by a helping hand. Scoutmasters lend the helping hand, and scouting provides an interesting outlet for some of a ycuth's energy. They take up woodcraft, first-aid, outdoor cooking and camping, hiking, signaling, knot-making, and all the rest of it. Through all this training, the boy actually gets down to earth, and comes to grips with things that he can smell, touch, and taste. At the same time some very useful things that'he can neither touch nor smell get filtered into him,'such as the power of makeshift, self-reliance, loyalty, and a sense of his American heritage. These things become the muscles and sinews of his soulg they are the elements of character, and once these elements become his permanent possessioms, they become the tool of his later working life. 4iam 0, .,i ,---c.w-j1ELCBESCEHTcshi - - , THE.GBESCENT n c -A5.- This is the big thing about the Boy Scouts' program: that every task in scouting is a man's job cut down to a boy's size. The work appeals to his interest, not because he is a boy, but because he wants to be a man. It is the man in the boy that is ' emphasizedg and if you bring out the man in the boy, he will show the man's resourcefullness earlys When the scout becomes a man, he doesnit forget his early training. Of the first five hundred Americans given decorations for gallantry in action, two hundred and ninety-four were former seouts.' Of the six thou- sand Sea Scouts selected by the Navy, four thousand hold commissions. Colin Kelley, who first bombed a Japanese battleship, was a former scout. Tommy Harmon, an all American football player of a few years ago, was a scout. Now a flyer, he has been forced down twice in the wild jungle, and both times has come back, when seemed lost for good. Years ago the scouts had given him a rule to keep his head, and he did not forget that rule. When the things that the scouts at home have done for the war effort are added up, the sum total will be impressive. In l943, scouts worked more than one hundred million hours in food production and conservation In New England alone, in the last harvest they picked 30,000 barrels of potatoes, enormous quantities of apples and string beans. More than one hundred thousand scouts were on the nationls farms, and there were over three hundred twenty-five thousand Scout Victory Garden Projects. In Salvage, their scrap metal, wastepaper, and fat collections have put their elders to shame. Whether at home or at war the scouts have shown what their training has done for them. New with so many of their former scouts in the service, they need new recruits to take their places. Especillly do they need leaders and sponsors from clubs and churches. And they must have Scoutmasters, because the young men who would naturally be scoutmastors have gone to war. Older men must fill the gaps. They won't have to make all the hikes, climb the mountains, amd swim rivers. They can get the older boys to lead the younger ones in these physical adventures. The Scoutmasters will supply just the touch of organization and guidance needed to main- tain the Scout Oath-HTO do my duty to God and my country and to obey the the Scout lawsg to help other people at all timesg tp keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.H That is all that is needed today to make A good - citizen or soldier tomorrow. ii.-- . ..-.-..T.B.E-..,CR13E3CENEl---ls- :ii llprofll , UHOW does ho look? Is he skinny?U The questions came from left and right. I had been told to stay in the parking lot that day to receive the new campers who were coming. He had been the only one who had struck me as peculiar, but I took his duffle-bag and trunk to a tent up the line. The car had rolled up so quietly that I had not noticed itg but a highepitched voice had brought me out of my daze saying,UPlease, sir, show Master Clement to his quarters.H I was so startled for a moment that I stood there with my mouth hanging open. I was again brought to my senses by a very distinct, artificial cough. I replied with a blunt Hfepu which made the chauffeur flinch, I almost dropped the trunk and let out a twitter when I saw Master Clement. HLetYs give his a fanfareu, I thought. Oh, dry upg it probably isn't his faultn, I told myself. My reason for this comment was Master Clement himself. I immediately hung him HProfn. Then came a voice fPom.inside the car warning 'Prof' UDon't play too hard, dearg you krow what the doctor said about getting too tired. And don-t fvrgOt your napa 4---and oh, mercyl I almost forgot, here's your pills.n She handed him what looked to me like a small trunk. After every question he would answer,nYes,Mothernn. He said it mechanically--HYes, Mothern. Now I had a good look at him and was justified in calling him 'Prof'.. He was quite short with straight black hair and horned-rimmed glasses which was my reason for calling him so. He had on short knickers and a stiff white shirt. To all appearances he was not aware of me, but had a forlorn look on his face while watching his motherfs departure. Then it happened, like a bolt o lightening crumbles a tree, his next action nearly bow ed me over. He was yelling to me--I ran toward him and stood there wide-eyed, watching him tear off his bow tie and white shirt and drape starch clothes around my neck and at the same time putting on shorts and a HTH shirt which appear- ed from a trunk he expertly opened in a flash. I I heard hin say, nPhewL Free at lastln He looked like a weird bird released from a cage. nwhere do I bunk?n, he said. I then said something that I later regretted. nCarry your own junkH,and dumping his pants and shirt on his trunk I walked off to settle down under the shade of a pine tree to watch. He looked puzzled and perplexed for a minute, and then sat down as if trying to think where to start. Then suddenly ashamed of myself, I .I..4..-.l--,-....,..THIE1..C.RES.CENT..,.-.. ....- .-..l.,.....,--.,.,......4.l walked over and said,nJust call me Joe. Hi, Prof.n As if not able to hear rightly all he could say was, HHuh? - Oh, thanks.N I said nothing as I carried up his trunk, but he broke the silence by'saying,HWhat ' did you call me a minute ago?n HProfH,was my answer. UWhy? Oh, donft answer thatn, he said with a grin. 'Is this my bunk?U was his next question,pointing to a right upper bunk. HYep2, I said and threw his blankets on the bunk. I didn't see him for a few days to speak to him, but saw him sitting alone as if thinking. He was younger that I was, so he was with younger boys. I thought he hadn't become acquainted, so I went to his tent. The boys were scoffing at him---HYou sissy! You have to take pills and everything. We ought to bat your ears off.H ' I went in and straightnned things out. The next day I was fishing and hooked onto every- thing in the way of pills Prof owned. He had thrown them into the brink. I took them to him, but he just threw them out again yelling, HThey taste lousyln I didn't know how he would fit in, but he seemed to be getting along all right. Then one night I heard an agonizing scream from Prof. I jumped out of bed and broke into 0 steady run until I came to his tent. I burst in and saw Prof standing there in his pajamas jumping up and down yelling, while the other boys were rolling around on the floor screaming with laughter. I ran up to him and asked him what was the matter. He pointed to his bed, all the time jumping up and down. I took one look and burst out laughing. His bed had been filled with molasses and grapenuts and 'shock- sheeted'. Then all I could hear was the ' bif--bang' of a roaring pillow fight between Prof and the other boys. I said to myself--hefll get along all right, and went back to bed. Chester Gillingham '48 AUTUMN Autumn is a season gay With all our worries put away. The friut hangs ripe on leafless trees That once were filled with birds and bees. All things of nature go to sleep When colder winds around them creep, And, when the trees are bare and tall, We realize that this is fall.

Jerry Andrews, hands in pockets and one of the latest song hits pursing his lips, non-chalantly read this edition of school news. Jerry, in many persons' estimation was an ideal romeo and in others, the perfect show-off. Due credit can be given the girls of Blackwell for the first illusion and the thoughts of the boys were that of the second calculation: As he turned to go his homeward way, Dano Stockton loomed into his vision and abruptly inquired, looking at the sign, UHow about it? Are you going?n qwell, I am ' giving the idea a little'considerationH was the pert reply. UPardon my interruptionu, Dane disgustedly answered,'nBut I thought you'd like to know my cousin, Jane Ellison, from the South, is coming up for the weekend and'she is going to be my guestsn With this Dane walked off, ' chuckling to himself, to join a group of waiting boys. Jerry, going in the other direction with a smile ' of satisfaction adorning his face, was heatd to murmur, nGuess I'll attend the merry little party.n Friday night was here at last, and the hour was eight o'clock. The auditorium, paritally filled with students, was storing away many more as they passed through the doorway. The swishing skirts of colonial costumes and the clinking of swords and twinkling of bells of pirates' and jesters' costumes brought laugh- ter from under the pretty, homely and ghastly masks. The rumor about the southern belle's prescence at the ball had been heard by the many socialites at Blackwell and more so by the many boys at this institution, not wuthstanding Jerry Andrews. He was keeping his eyes pcaled to the doorway, so as to be the first to see her entrance. When this event happened, it was at the beginning of the first waltz, and Jerry was quick to seo that this waltz was claimed by him. HRather awkward, rather tall and largeln were the remarks which passed from one girl to another. Whether these were so or just jealous illusions of girls, they did not bother Jerry, for he took every opportunity to dance this lovely flower about the hall, just waiting for the joyful hour when a removal of the mask would reveal her beautiful face, for anyone with such an exquisite voice and rare personality must have a face to match. It was anxious waiting, but the time was at hand, and it was not in vain. For even now her hands were slowly and carefully taking the mask from its position, as he, in such a hurry, had already done with his. Then in his full view the face appeared. Noi noi it couldn't bei But ' it wast The homely face and lopsided grin of Dane Stockton! Joan Eaton '47 if 'EHELGBESCEIU' s , ---e .5l.., nWhen The Boys Come Marching Homen When the promised days of victory come, exactly ' where does the soldier stand? Those that do come back, should they look forward to a land free from the terrors which they fought against? A nation that knows only kindness, equality among its fe11ow men and the right to live? Yes, this is the country that they fought for and these are but a few of the things they will'expect. Will they find the America of their ideals. the land their buddies gave their lives forg or must they be subjected to the grief and disappointment of finding their country torn apart bt the aftermath of war? A ' nation teeming with race hatred? Must they face the dark, the shadow of inflation? Slowly, very slowly these men will begin to under- stand that they alone were fighting the war, The horrible memories of their comrades that fell alone and unnoticed in the far-off corners of the world with the lice, dirt, and their life-blood on the unshaven facesu enave these men died in vain?--they, the youth,'the life-blood of America, died in order that the land they left in the hands of their loved ones be torn apart? The young men dying in the stinking heat of a god-for-sakdn spot which they ever saw, with all their hearts pray that they may never lay eyes on again, while the fat, well- fed men are enjoying the comforts of a healthy office and doing everything in their power to undo all that the youth died for. This was the outlook that faced the veterans of the last war and unfortunately that is what happened. Fate has provided that experience is one of the greatest teachers of mankind. Thus the mistakes that were made then, the leaders of today are doing all that is in their power to keep history from repeating itself. Congress is faced with many problems that must be dealt with quickly and as justly as possible. That is the reason that we, the people of the United States, must back our country to the limit. When the boys, that have been away, come marching home, they will thank us for what we have done in adverting all which followed the last war. If we ean be able to give the soldier the America that he and his buddies dreamed about, it will be all the proof that he will ask, and he will then know that we on the home-front did not let him down. It will be then that he will understand that nothing that was done shall be in vain.

Carl Pinkham '48 Johnny Brownfs School Days Johnny Brown crouched in his seat trying to hide behind the pigtails in front of him. He had come to class, as usual, without having his lesson prepared. He could feel the teacheris eyes fastened upon h1m.' Any moment now he expected her tp ask him to recite. Johnny actually was shaking in his shoes. It seemed like an eternity since coming into that room. Miss X was looking around the class, and Johnny wished he could make a hole through the floor. Hwhy did he have to go to this old school anyWay?n Johnny wiped the sweat off his brow, threw back his shoulders and attempted to put an intelli- gent look on his face. Just then the teacher said,MFirst we will do the exercise on page 17 as a review.n Then Johnny did have an intelligent look on his face, because he had studied the exercise last week.

Sally knew Jean and how she get along with the boys in her town, so she thought that she would go along with her, knowing that the boys would go too. Away they all went over to Ted Hawkefs house and coaxed Ted and some of his friends to come with them. Ted was very glad to be invited, and the girls told him that they would haul him over if he would come, so the boys went. The girls were tugging at the sled and the idle boys were lying down with great comfort. When they all reached the hill, the girls fairly pleaded to rest. The boys called them sissics, which the girls did not like. Sally Drew had red hair, and with her red hair a terrible temper. She fought with the boys until they roared with laughter. ,nLet's get slidingn, Ted exclaimed.

When they finally reached the foot of the hill, Sally looked around, after talking all the way down, and whom should she find sitting on the back of the sled but Ted who had jumped on at the top of the hill when Jean fell off!

God bring you to a fairer place Than even Oxford Town.n Winifred Letts A hero is made not born. Every country in the world has its heroes. In France was Lafayette, a great soldier and statesman. England gives credit to Horatio Nelson who fought at Trafalgar. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln hold the position of heroes in our own country, More recently we have our war heroes. In World War I Sergeant York was cited. Today we hear such names as Colin P. Kelly, Douglas MacArthur and Al Schmidt. But these are not the only ones who are heroes. They make up s small part of the many heroes in today's world. The hero of today may be found in a foxhole on an island in the Philippines. He doesn't do an act of bravery, but does his part to bring the war closer to an end. This G.I. Joe is fighting for Freedom. He's just an ordinary guy who wants the war over so he can come home to the America he's always known. ' In Greece the people have fought a continuous battle against the forces of the Germans. The students have kept on with their studies, in spite of the opposition, so that they may have gone without food and have hidden in the hills to form guerrilla forces.to fight against the Germans. These people are brave. They wouldn't think of it in that way, It's just something they have to do. Speaking of heroes we have many on the home-front. Men and women, alike, in working in war factories to turn out supplies that are so vital to our boys overseas. Doctors and nurses are working most of the hours of the day to fill the places of those who have gone into the war services. The man or woman next door goes without amusement or little frivolities to buy that nextra war bondn. They're all doing their bit. What makes a hero? All these things I have mentioned. They may not seem to have much in common, but there is one thing. All these people are doing what must be done whether their contribution is large or small. They are the little people ------ they are the nunsung heroesnl David Wiggin 145 le.miwl-lHIw,THE QRESCENT.ls l.,.eQYa Memories Dick sat in a comfortable seat on a train that was taking him back home. He was going home after being away for over three years. He stared out of the window as the train sped on pass fields, woods, gardens, cities and towns, yet he saw nothing. He was deep in thought. nIt seems strangeu, mused Dick to himself, Hin the ' last three years, a couple of months before Pearl Harbor, ITve done more traveling than I ever had or ever expected to. nlfve been all over the United States, crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 'I've seen things that are beautiful. amusing, wonderfuls Like people walking ' along streets talking with their friends and neighbors. Young couples going tc the eight o'clock movies. Kids playing practical jokes on their playmates, High school girls and fellows going to a school danceu Watching the sun set and the stars come outa All these things are done without any thought of fear. They're every- day occurrences, but yet they mean so nnch.M ' HStill Ifve seen things that make you bitter, sometimes for the rest of your life. Like fighting the Japs back at Guam with everything we had and we finally get the island back, even though we paid dearly for it. Finding death, destruction, and sorrow at every place we took back from the Japs. Yet there was the wonderful trust, hope, and faith the people had in the futurcan nYes', Dick thought,nIYve been everywhere and seen things that were good and things that were bad. It seems impossible that all I1ll ever have from new on is just memories, that I'll never be able to seo ageing that Iill never go out on another battlefield.H nBut I'll find something to do to help the fellows on the fighting fronts, because I know what theylve been through, what they'ro going through, and what they will go through until this mess is cleaned upln Barbara Betts '46 5 JL JL JL JL fx an n n Who will sow where I have sown, Who will reap where I have reaped- Who will hold where I have held, Who will sleep where I have slept- After I am dead and gone, at the setting of the sun Who will tell what I have done?

The house, which he had recently moved into, had been empty for as long as the younger generation of the town could remember. It was a large house and had been been considered one of the richest houses in the state. Answer- ing Mr. Malton with an abrupt, UHin, the boys proceeded.

CEditorls cem ent: When the biology class was study- ing birds this fall, the following paper was passed in as a description of one of the more interesting species.D The Queer Bird This strange specie of the bird is a common one never-the-less. It is the female that is so extra- ordinary in her habits and appearance, so it is she I will try to describe. It is usually the male that dresses in the brill- ant colors, so as to attract the opposite sex. But in this case tho idea is reverseg for it is the female who dresses in the bright and gay celorsg gives her feathers a slight twist and looks her sweetest to get her mate under her power. It is not known just what ' hynotizing power she possess, but the result is amazing, It has been found that it is best not to cause her to ruffle her feathers, for it is in this state she becomes most dangerous. Another strange thing is that she is known to drop one eye lid as'if to wink to the gentleman bird. If this is a wink, it is evident that she is a regular flirt. The female prefers long sharp tails with a vivid red color, for both defense and offense. She desires a deep red beak to that of a dullcr'colored one. Never content with what she already has, she is persistant to cover her beautiful crown of feathers with a hideous looking Uwhat notu that makes her look ridiculous. ' Thencall noten is a long whistle given by the male, to which the female answers with a switch of her pretty head and a longing look in his direction. Who is tiis spectacular specie of the bird family? Why itfs---WOMAN! Althea Berry 145 The Seniors' Study Hall Our study hall is a quiet place Students study very hard.
