SPRING Spring! The very name is magic. H thousand crystal streams trickle down from the hilltopsg green fields amaze the eyes, the air becomes Warm and fragrant. The forces of warmth and sunshine have conquered the tyrant, Winter, and people everywhere exultantly cast off his shackles. ln February there were rumblings of revolt, but Winter, confident in his established position, could afford to ignore them. ln March the first organized resistance began. Marble games on stiff, frozen ground reflected the spirit of those in league with Spring. By DIHNE TVVEEDLEY Qpril brought further successful uprisings. Wiri- ter was on the defensive. His cold and imperious dictatorship was visibly shaking. Towards the end of this month, almost completely put to rout, he retreated to the hills and guerrilla tactics became his last weak defiance. May brought the final victory. Hlthough there were no captives to be carried home, all of them having been roasted over Old Sol's slow fire, great rejoicing filled the air. ln triumph the victors pa- raded through flower-bedecked streets. The earth relaxed. lt was Spring. THE GLACIER -By GREY Cl-IERTKOFF Chill whorls of hardened snow, Contorted by the blast of shrieking gale, Obscure the scene below. Then, distantly, the sun rose: grey and pale, It faintly lit the glaze. For twenty minutes it would glimmer thereg Such are antarctic days. But in that glow a stillness caught the air, So that the storm was held lmpotent for a moment: then we saw The glacier, saw it weld Great shards of ice upon itself and gnaw Hway the basic rock, Hs solemnly it ground its icy mass, Not heeding sprain nor shock, Through ice-bound vale and bottomless crevasse, Unto a frozen sea . . . The pallid star's last faintness flickered out: The wind's frigidity , Resumed its fierceness-snow was all about. 29
