LITERARY FIRST PRIZE THE ORDEAL He showed great courage that time. It was the kind of courage somebmes displayed by the front line soldier. But, then again, perhaps it wasn’t courage. Perhaps it was fear. One cannot be certain in such a case. It all began the first week in December, when he was given that small, seemingly innocent, slip of paper. THEY had given it to him. THEY, who had already tormented him more than enough, and still were nidt satisfied. When he had first seen it, he had been overcome by its devastating possibilities and could merely stare at it vaguely. Then, ponderously, his benumbed brain had begun to work. If only he could destroy it! If only-—-No, that was what they were waiting for. Some foolish mistake and they would fall on him like vultures on their prey. One week passed, a week of forgetful days and fearful nights. Meanwhile THEY were becoming impatient. THEY would soon issue an ultimatum and he would be forced to act. Suddenly, he realized that there was only one sure solution to his dilemma. He picked up the scrap of paper, already disfigured by incessant twisting, and walked, like a condemned man, out of the room. Eventually, he reached the back parlor, darkened by early winter gloom. His father was sitting there, little imagining what he was soon to witness. He walked up to his father’s chair and stood there. Then, im¬ patiently, he thrust the paper onto the arm of the chair. It remained there, while his father, somewhat startled, stared at the boy’s pain-ridden features. Then, abruptly becoming aware of the paper, he picked it up. Almost immediately a per¬ plexed scowl darkened his face. His voice broke the tension in the room. “We’ll have to do something about this,” he said slowly, with great effort. He had just seen his son’s report card. Tom Peterson, X—31. Page Seventy-eight
