Published by the Student Body of Snow College Ephraim. Utah Volume XIII ur sun is rising over the mountains. Our too-eager hands reach out To catch the light and pour It into our black world. To pull down sun-beams And tangle them in our hair. Soon the sun will be hot in the sky. Burning us with its pitiless flame. But now it is only morning. Very early and still dark. And our too-eager hands Are groping blindly in the sky . . . 5 HE old and wise have told us: “Do not dream too much, For dreams of Youth are fragile things. Reality will come along and laugh to touch And break their beautiful bright wings.” But oh. we are so young, why should we know Of dying dreams and cold reality? Leave us our flame against your snow, Our torch to light eternity! FOREWORD We have sprung from a shadowy past and soon we shall step into a shadowy future. But now we are living in the direct spotlight of Time—happy, not because of reminiscence nor of expectation, but because we are alive and young in the glorious Today. DEDICATION Unto you, omnipotent Present, we offer this book. May you take our strong, young clay and sculpture from it a lasting, beautiful empire —so lasting and so beautiful that other men and women years and years to come will look upon it with wonder and with admiration.

SKIDMORE cAn Appreciation Snow College is nearing the close of its second year as a junior college maintained by the State of Utah. It is one of three such institutions now operated by the State for the purpose of taking higher education to the rural sections. the theory being that schools should go to the people and not the people to the schools. Like the other state junior colleges. Snow had for years been a denominational school. Superintendent C. H. Skidmore, together with the other members of the Board of Education, is zealous in his efforts to effect such plans as promise a future of growth and service. He believes that there is a very definite need for such institutions and that they should become an entrenched part of the public school plan. The State Department is keenly aware of many problems concomitant to the junior college movement but faces them thoughtfully and resolutely. feeling certain of their solution. As part of a long range plan, curriculum changes are being effected: plant improvements are being made: and standards are being generally raised. PRESIDENT I. O. HORSFALL His Message Snow College has directed many young men and women in their course in life as evidenced by the expression of its alumni. It has struggled along extending its scope and raising its standards until it now has an excellent rating as a junior college. It offers opportunities for educational and cultural development to the young people of the state. During this time when education and training are so essential in the preparation for life, it is helping many get their start. It aims to assist students to develop character, to train them for leadership, and to increase their power to analyze situations. Snow hopes to inspire its students to continue with self-development, making them outstanding citizens and leaders in solving community problems. Thus they become contributors to the best life of the nation. F. E-Stephens Agriculture Biology Heber C. Snell Education Languages Charles A. Wall Business Francis J.

Vice-President Editor of Snowdrift Secretary-Auditor Cheer Leader Athletic Manager Editor of Snowonian Activity Manager Forensic Manager GERALD ERTCKSEN President Looking Backward The activities sponsored by the student body organization have been many and diversified. Students and school patrons have had the opportunity to select functions according to their interests. Lyceums, dances, forensics, sports, literary and speech contests, hikes, programs, publications, class and club functions have all combined to offer entertainment and cultural development. The opportunities for self-expression have been many and varied. The activity record indicates that all students were involved in one or more special functions: and the special honors for the year are widely distributed. There have been impediments to the realization of an ideal extra-curricular program, but the achievements bear record of a successful year. Gerald and his associates have worked diligently and have proved to be able, enthusiastic leaders. They have sought by personal example to express their confidence in scholarship and recreation as essentials in the program of college men and women, both being conducive to fuller living. THE CLASSES cp A ROB ABLY at no other time in history has civiliza- tion experienced such sudden changes as are now taking place. A revolution is occuring in the economic field; social reforms arc being evaluated: politics is experiencing a new position in the nation. Even new forms of government are being tested. Into these new movements must come clear-minded men and women who are able to glean the useful from the past, add to it, and produce a new and better world. Where are these new leaders coming from? There is only one possible source—the youth of the nation. Every American youth is a potential leader, a founder of a greater civilization. His duty is clear. Will Youth acceDt this challenge? — V.

Utah ACTIVITIES A Glimpse of Hawaii The Prom It was night and a full mellow moon shone down on the land of Hawaii. Here and there a star twinkled in the deep azure sky. Far to the west a red flame was bursting forth from a gigantic volcano. On either side were spreading palm trees, brilliant flowers, and glimpses of the receding horizon. Rhythmic music emanated from the moon to please the dancers as they glided together. Colorful evening frocks glimmered for a moment and then dimmed in the shadows. And then there was the promenade with Betty Wall, prom lady, and Paul Nielson, prom chairman, in lead. The student body president and vice-president followed immediately after. To the measured strains of On Snow College . the collegians formed first the official letter and then ’34. There was an air of majestic dignity as though the promenaders felt the soul-deep touch of the Snow Spirit. A Glimpse of the Banquet Hall Tie Banquet That banquet was different. In the spirit of Thanksgiving and merriment, everyone in the student body brought his offering of fruit or vegetable to the altar of Mr. Elk. himself a friendly gift from the Jensen brothers to the school. Autumn flowers and a horn of plenty decorated the long rows of tables at which were seated the entire student body and the faculty. The spirit of the thankful heart was expressed in song and speech to the occasion, to the delicacies, and to the participants. Genial fellowship cemented the personnel of the school into one appreciative unit as the exuberant vigor of youth responded to youth and to the tradition back of the approaching Thanksgiving. The social committee conceived the idea of such a banquet, provided in the contribution way . Student leadership and the cooperative attitude on the part of everybody, including the co-eds of the local high school realized the project.

The debate fire opened by interclass clashes in which sixteen students performed. The honors of the series were won by the freshman class. Then followed a heavy schedule of clashes with the colleges of the state. Arthur Nielsen, forensic manager, and Duane Frandsen were the only veterans in the field, but the novices who earned team positions soon began to develop skill in jostling ideas and figures. Each member on the squad debated in four or more meets. The finale of the schedule was the Utah-Idaho junior college tournament in Provo. In it. the squad members both won and lost decisions. Duane and Arthur remaining the fray until the fifth round. In harmony with the policy of the college, most of the debates were decisionless. Eight debaters lettered. The extempore speech activity included both the annual contest at Snow and a clash with the Dixie College. The medal for first place in the former contest was won by Ellis Rasmussen. Evelyn Smyth and Glen Elkington earned second and third place honors respectively. The intercollegiate team included Arthur Nielsen. Duane Frandsen. and Ellis Rasmussen. The decision was won from Dixie College. Miss Fern Young coached both the speech and the debate teams. M. Rasmussen D. Christiansen P. Mortexsen F. Thomas A. Christensen L. Thorderson P. Niei.son G.

Captain Anderson Christensen Peterson Armstrong Guard Center Forward Center Forward ‘The Team Personnel Nine players were awarded letters for their stellar performance on the wax-floor. They were Elliott Hall. Wallace Garrett. Donald Barton. Eugene Campbell. Chauncy Peterson. Kay Ostler. Merriam Anderson. Milton Armstrong. and LaVerl D. Christensen. Elliott “Curly Hall, captain of the Badger hoopsters. was the guard mainstay of the team. His ability to diagnose and break up opponent plays was a large factor in the success of the Snow crew. Hall was adept at scoring. Wallace Garrett, the other regular guard, scintillated in almost every game he played. He was an accurate shooter, being especially adept at dropping long shots through the hoop. Merriam Anderson, regular center, was a valuable asset to the team. He was able to control the tip-off from opposing centers more than half of the time. Anderson was a clever shooter and passer. LaVerl D. Christensen, who played at forward, was one of the leading scorers in the league. His clever ball handling, coupled with his shooting accuracy, made him especially dangerous to opponents. Milton Armstrong, who was the running mate to Christensen, was a player who improved with each game's experience. He was noted for his ability to score when points were needed. The four reserves were always on hand to enter the game when they were needed. Eugene Campbell, and Donald Barton were two capable guards. Chauncy Peterson did some splendid pinch-hitting for the team at center. Kay Ostler was an all-around man. playing with equal ability, any position on the team. Campbf.ll Barton Ostlf.r Garrett Young Guard Guard Guarxi. Forward Guard Coach The Basketball Season The 1933-34 basketball season was an eventful one. Snow. A. A. U. champions of the previous year, ended the regular playing schedule in a deadlock with B. A. C. for league runner-up honors. The Badgers were defeated in the necessary play-off game, only after the classic game of the entire season. The league fireworks were set going for Snow when the Badgers met the Dixie Fliers at Ephraim in a two-game series. This series ended in a split. Snow winning the first game, and Dixie triumphing in the second. Snow then made a four-game trip to the sunny south, playing two games each with B. A. C. and Dixie. The Snow boys gained a split in their series with the Aggies, but dropped both ends of the twin bill to Dixie. Two more games with B. A. C. on the Badgers’ own floor remained to be played. This duo of tilts was also split, placing the two aggregations in a tie. The play-off game, which was staged at Beaver, has already been discussed. Immediately following the jaysee” hoop activities. Snow sponsored a “little A. A. U.“ tournament for amateur teams of Sanpete. Eight outfits entered. The Manti Baker Boys walked off with the tournament championship, with the Moroni Town Team. C. C. C. of Salina. and Snow College finishing in respective order. It is interesting to note that with the exception of one player, the entire Badger basketball squad was composed of freshmen. With this galaxy of frosh stars back again next year. Snow should make a fine showing in junior college hoop play. Buck row Coach Young. Oiiuiland. Madsen. Barton. Christiansen. Sorensen. Bevan.

The Football Season Coach Ike Young s call for football last season lured twenty rough-and-tumble gridders to the Badger stamping grounds.' Although the men were diversified in experience, ranging from four years previous grid education to none at all. the Snow mentor moulded together an eleven of above-average prowess. Four games were played by Snow during the 1933 season. 'Flic Badgers gained a victory in their initial encounter, downing the Mt. Pleasant All-Stars by a 20 to 6 score. The Snow outfit then made a nip to Salt Lake to play its traditional rival. Westminster. The Parsons from upstate won 15 to 7. The Badgers won their second victory the following week when they defeated the powerful Hinckley High team 13 to 3. Another game with Westminster, the finale of the season, was won by the Parsons 6 to 0. Men receiving letters in the football sport were as follows: Captain Glen Elkington. Rex Reeve, and Evan Anderson, guards: Lawrence Thorderson. Lyman Christiansen, and James Christensen, tackles: Waldo Wamick. Gerald Ericksen. and Rex Christensen, ends: Ray Peterson, center: Donald Barton and Eugene Campbell, quarterbacks: Keith Gee. Rex Candland. LaMoine Christiansen, and Russell Madsen, halfbacks: Rulon England and Grant Johansen. fullbacks. Next year. Snow will be a member of the recently arranged state league, in which games with B. A. C.. Weber, and Westminster will be scheduled. On With the Dance and Play Campus Diversions In addition to the major sports at Snow, there are a number of so-called “diversions that offer pleasure and variety to the students. These diversions continue throughout the entire school year, and are participated in by men and co-eds alike. One of the most popular past-times is dancing. Clogging and dancing classes in the gymnasium, as well as matinee dances and the regular Friday night balls, attract a large part of the recreation-seeking students. Horseshoe pitching is a common game that holds a fascination for sportsmen of the College. Even co-eds have been seen to try their skill at clanking the irons.’ Loafing around also seems to foster some hidden attraction, because every day students are seen stretched on the lawn or lounging on the settees in the social room. On Freshmen week, the entire student body and faculty brought back their memories of childhood by spending an hour on the campus playing pomp pomp pull-a-way. farmer in the dell, and other childish games. The games of yesteryear were really fascinating to the should-bc grown-ups. Sometimes, it appears that the major sports of college are rivaled for supremacy in popularity by these diversions.

This time THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH. In test tubes, beakers, and crucibles, the elements and compounds reveal many of their secrets. This College Life Well, here I am at the close of my second year of college, and I am still wondering what it’s all about. Of course. I have formed a few conclusions from observations and experiences, some of which I think are not so erratic; but in a young conclusion-jumper like me. observations and experiences usually inspire whimsical fantasies. One of the most interesting aspects of this colleqe situation is the mingling of varied personalities. Students and teachers associate and interchange their diversified hobbies and emotions. Pupils who bear that characteristic labeled as egotism, soon find that there is no real reason for being conceited: and as a result, become more dependable—sometimes even humble. Even some of the aloof teachers who try to exalt themselves into a more or less intellectual world of their own. find themselves, in spite of their aspirations, an integral part of the social whirl. There are persons of almost every caliber to be found in college. There's the modest little girl who sits in class with a passive smile artificially tacked onto her face: there’s the burly country boy who in his boisterous manner is always doing something backwards, and there’s the drink-and-be-merry individual who goes to school onlv for fun. The latter student is usually absent from school on days of exams. Another type is the bookworm. who sits in his room of study so consistently that the scat of his jeans needs half-soling before the newness is worn off the other parts. Then there’s the show-off person, who makes it a point to keep a jump or two ahead of the rest of the school in clothing styles, regardless of the fact that poor father at home hasn't had a new pair of overalls for a year and a half. Lastly, there’s the know-it-all. He can make an information bureau appear uninformed, but his philosophy is seldom heeded. I haven’t yet decided in which of these classes I belong. Self-diagnosis reveals that I come from the country, and that on nights before exams I qualify as a bookworm. When I'm able to afford a new red tie. I’m a first-class show-off : perhaps I’m just a mutation — but what difference does it make? Another phenomenon of interest in colleqe is the faculty. One kind of teacher is the up-to-date instructor who visions ahead, and who changes his teaching methods in accordance with the students and times. Another type is the text-set teacher who thinks that you can’t improve upon the words of the author. Opposite, is the teacher who penalizes for parroting. Another kind of instructor is the one that is in love with an old text that he knows from A to Z. He has nothing to do with modern volumes because they may shake him out of his rut. And at my age. I have learned that getting out of a rut is painful. I have also found that these contrasting types of teachers have a few common likenesses. Their omnipresent eyes catch glimpses of behavior not intended for them. Sometimes that professional frown is evoked: sometimes it is that glint of the eye which reveals that teachers can recall when they were young. But teachers are human. They have a keen interest in all college problems, and especially in student welfare. These contrasting fits and misfits in the forms of students and teachers, make a typical cross-section of college life, each individual being an integral part of the great machine called society. Although variety is the spice of life. I sometimes feel as if I would like to limit my associations to the genuine, substantial individuals. I have learned to appreciate these people because they have ideals, and they are trustworthy. When floored by a discouraging blow, they jump up with a rebound, instead of sinking for the count, as does the bluff. The person who thinks he can bluff through life, has a lot to learn. He will be taken for a fall sooner or later, and this fall may be painful if it is staved off too long. A philosopher once observed that false fronts always tumble first, whether it be in an earthquake or in the battle of life. If a bluff ever does make good, it is only by some kind stroke of Providence in the form of a rich relative, or a four leaf clover. What a funny thing this colleqe business is! It seems that each special department of the curriculum has a particular brand of philosophy. The business department claims that the factors governing the success of the world (Continued on page seventy) CLUB OFFICERS “S CLUB Russell Madsen .... President LaMoine Christiansen . .

The Women s Clubs of Eph-raiin. together with the local High School and Grade School, also helped to make the affair a success. Gaily decorated flouts and marchers formed a long parade which was watched by the townspeople. This was one event in the school year when the great, inspiring spirit of Snow surged higher than at any other time in the hearts of her children. S DAY A picnic! Hooray! Who doesn't love picnics! Especially when the whole of the student body gets together in the April sunshine and rides hilariously to the hills together. Especially when the eats are provided by the Home Economics Department. Especially when one can hike and take pictures as much as he pleases. Especially when the purpose of the affair is to re-dress the S in a shining new coat of paint. MAPLE CANYON HIKE Another memory of the year is the Maple Canyon hike. Autumn colors, refreshments a n d song around the bonfire, hikes, and fellowships—all amid towering peaks bathed in tints of evening and the sheen of moonlight. The Vanished Coal Pile Campus Changes Mr. Madsen The Campus in Winter jesse THIS COLLEGE LIFE (Continued from page sixty-seven) arc corralled within its boundaries. It holds that cverythinq in life is either debit or credit. The mathematician can show definitely in liqures the key to the universe, and can calculate even inlinitv. 1 he psychologist insists that all accomplishments of complexity are results of reasoning. I he economists come forth with. Here’s the solution to the whole financial world, but experience tells me that Ben Franklin had it all over them when he said. A penny saved is a penny earned. The musicians assert. All this country needs is music, and Music has the oower to calm the savage beast, but I vc still to be shown that the singing of melodies will keep the big bad wolf from lurking beside the doorstep. The literature department holds that books are the passports to success, but a book a day will keep prosperity away is an unrefuted axiom. In drab days that nurture my cynical moods, these various departments of instruction and their teachings remind me of an old minister on the street corner, who lifts his voice and promulgates. Lo. here is the rod of Moses’ Come and get it. and the world is yours. Sometimes it seems that in many ways, college is .1 muddled-up mess of facts.” each supposed to be true, but nevertheless contradictory. But 1 am not the only one affected, because the believe-all students become disillusioned, are thrown into a whirl-pool of chaos, and are prone to remain there until they learn to think independently. 5 But on bright days and most days, college is different. It is living — it is life, life in a laboratory in which the past is contacted, the present studied, and attitudes towards the future built. It is a life of fellowship—it is minglinq with people engaged in this game called learning. It is a life experiencing the joy and laughter of happiness, the applause of appreciation, the regret of despondency of disappointments, the sadness and sorrow of defeat, and the satisfaction of victory. It is a life that must chanac on the qlorious day of Commencement. that transition between the sunset of a perfect day and the dawn of another, now unknown and problematical. Into the new day—the new life, will go memories of college — and what memories! — La Verl Christensen. On Feeding Myself Have you ever tried it. “feeding yourself? Fun? Well. yes. hut at times disappointing. I am gaining weight. What's the trouble? Too good a cook — so things must change. That everyday menu must he revised and the goodies saved for company. But what a test! Imagine going to the cookie jar and then turning away because there are too many calorics—turning to dry toast because butter is full of vitamins and full of calories that mold on a freshman girl those rounded lines. She must he slender to be attractive. Now comes a well-prepared box from home. To consume those appetizing foods will break that diet, planned so carefully and observed with such denial, in the interest of — well, every college girl knows what. — Anna Larsen. Mv Favorite Diversion I don't know if my diversion should be classed as a recreation, a habit, or a vice. It is a recreation, for it refreshes me: it is a habit, for I indulge in it every evening: and it is probably a vice because it takes me from my admitted duty — preparation of my lessons. My diversion requires a special technique. I come home, drape myself over any piece of furniture not already in use. assume a learned, versatile air and oroceed to help my fellow roomers to solve problems of politics, finance, science, menus, dates, or any other weighty problem. Our discussions in the course of a brief hour include school, the kitchen, city, state, and nation. Sometimes we evolve conclusions that would be quite helpful to the league officials. but our modesty prevents our proffering the information. Sometimes it is a problem in science that provokes the heated arqument. but the conclusion reached throws light on Einstein's theory, or something equally simple. — Charles Hansen. TO THE SOPHOMORES A Freshman needed a friend when he came to Snow College, and he found one awaiting him. He found the fellow who said. 'Til show you around. I II introduce you to the gang. The Freshman found more than that. I le found a chum who would go out of his way to serve another. I le found the friend who was not afraid to do his part, not only socially but also s holastk ally. I he Freshman desired nothing more for a beginning. He had found the one thing upon which to build his house of progress. his college days. That thing was genuine friendship. F’or this gift the Freshman offers his hearty thanks to its giver, the one who really made him feel at home when he came to school, the typical Snow College Sophomore. —D. Christiansen. FRESHIE DAYS No one would know that these ferocious-looking creatures were once respect a b I e Freshmen. Over night the entire class was transformed into a band of bearded tramps, roving gypsies, and old-fashioned lads and lassies. You met a strange furtive person in the hall. An escaped criminal, you whispered. Then a pair of half-socks and a baby doll passed by. Just another reversion to second childhood, you said tolerantly. The Sophs stood by, disdainful and aloof, smiling at the infantile display. But rumor had it that when night came, they threw off their disdain and aloofness and became as infantile as their opponents. Several pair of Frosh and Soph trousers hung on the bulletin board in the morning bore mute testimony that there was reason for the rumor. CAMPUS CHANGES Yes. even the campus must change! Because of the federal work program, the coal pile will no longer cause detours during football games, for it is underground. The trees are to have a new beauty because of careful trimming. The grounds are leveled and seeded, shrubs were planted as part of the S Day program. The buildings are to display new paint and to l e modernized in many details. The campus beautiful is in the making. CAMPUS FIGURES Some people will be forgotten after school doses, but no one will forget Jesse and the busses. No one will forget Mr M ulsen. the man who could break the chill of the day and set the school plant in order. These men are campus figures to be remembered. CAMPUS LIFE Varied is the life of the campus, all preparatory for the Tomorrow and yet tilling Today. The art of cooking and the building of bodily vigor, the making of melody vie for attention with loafing (just resting) and the revival of childhood joys, including the coming of Santa and his reindeer alias moose. The Family Album 4 After all. Snow College is only a big, happy family. And since any family of any account has a family album. Snow must have one too. Of course, our album isn't like those one usually finds bound in plush, collecting dust on Grandmother’s parlor table: ours is born in an age of modernism and rebuses, hence its chaotic appearance. The wandering photographer miraculously caught l;loyd lireinholt studying and decided it was the chance of a lifetime to get a rare snap. And there is the Tooele gang. If you look closely you can see Ebenezer. the pig. The picture in the center seems to depict very well the familiar malady. Spring Fever. Where can Ruth Hansen be going, tall silk hat and all? And at whom is Reva smiling? (What a break photographers get!) Helen seems to be doing her share too. while Blondy yawns his approval. Yes. it is nice to have a family album. Nice because the pictures are so real, so characteristic. Nice because it keeps our family always linked together unforgetably in our memory. ■ S HE PRESENT is slipping into the Past. Its rosy colors will soon begin to gray and the winds will blow where once the sun shone. O Youth, unspoiled and impatient, make the most of these moments. Into each single one. crowd laughter, song, and above all. effervescent, fervent life! Footsteps Footsteps, their coming and going, bring all that life holds of mystery, of sadness, and joy. Footsteps map out the parade of man's existence. The tottering steps of the infant that hesitates and stumbles over each obstacle as rosy hands reach for the mother's apron; the trippings of the child, unsophisticated and free: the prim, self-conscious footsteps of the maiden; and the firm sure tread of the youth by her side, as unhurried they languish down the by-roads: the vital, prodding steps of the man and woman approaching the peak of life: shuffling footsteps traveling down to the valley; trembling, aged footsteps advancing toward the sunset. The night is dark and still. Through the shadows creeps the sound of auguring footsteps. They may be bringing despair and resentment: they may be bringing contentment and happiness: they may be bringing life or birth. Nearing footsteps hold the mind still and tense. They may mean the changing of a life. The cringing man in the courtroom listens with fascinated ears to the slow ominous steps of the jurymen. In the death cell, a condemned man lifts his head despairingly as he hears the stacatto clop of marching guards outside his door. The returning of beloved, well-known footsteps means reunion and peace —completeness in a home. An anxious mother waits all day for the clamor upon the porch, children's feet that rush vivaciously into the hall. A father's weary footsteps plod toward home and loved ones. All day long a medley of steps have beat into his brain: the click of his stenographer s high heels: the strutting of the office boys: the footfalls of clients that enter the door, bringing nothing — taking nothing. Down the busy street, footsteps carry romance. Out of the many, one moves alone, aloof from the rest, but the footfalls go on. Fading footsteps are weighted with despair and finality. Love turns and passes into night. The steps grow faint and arc lost in the shadows—footsteps that have taken something young and beautiful, footsteps that can never come back—that are gone forever. Footsteps of departing friends grow faint. Eyes are strained into the dusk for one last glimpse of the swinging shoulders. Faltering footsteps try to reach them in the dark and hands grope in vain as they try to bring them back. Life cannot be stayed, it is ever numbered among the eternities. Youth, with eyes straight ahead, marches on toward the unknown. The sun touches the tip of his bayonet with silver: his eyes trace the folds of the flag. His eager feet keep time with the drum, each footstep carrying him nearer to the lurid, red glare in the West. The wounded march back through the rain. Their footsteps splash through the mud. The youth wonders drearily how long he can plod. His eyes are old and filled with pain, his coat sleeve swings empty by his side. On through the rain and mist, the steps go slowly and painfully. There arc soundless footsteps that man never hears. Phantom, companions that guide to the top of the mountain of life and point the way down into the misty valley. The footfalls of time go on and on. They lead the way to the valley of the sunset. The stumbling, aged footsteps move more slowly. Words become low and tremulous. The bent old lady walks slowly with the hand of the toddling infant tucked in hers—one entering from the borderline of life, with eyes wide and enchanted: the other nearing the borderline, looking back with eyes faded by tears and sorrow. The old footsteps wander, fearlessly. hesitating by dear familiar objects, touching them gently in farewell, advancing deeper and deeper into the shadows. The old footsteps have crossed into the shadows. They are silent: but in the secret places of the heart, they still wander in memory. Footsteps bringing from the Halls of Time all she has to offer, laying a carpet on the pathway of dreams. Footsteps and time-boon companions. Footsteps—footsteps .... beating endlessly. — Aiuirie Hanson. Autographs ■ c Autographs - -■ ' . . Autographs . ’ . . � • ' Auto raphs
