MISS BURTON MR. SHARP MRS. MACKENZIE Left to Right: Mr. Dahl, Mr. Burr, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Reinert English Like Pegasus, Ariel, the winged sprite, lives on through time. By creat- ing his characters, Shakespeare has made his plays immortal. As long as literature lives, they will live. That which we have read has become a part of our own living. We met stylized man, the cultured hero, romantic man, and the psychologically introspective man of today. We explored the symbolism of Yeats, the satire of Swift, and the allusions of Elliot. In Psyche, we heard Richard Wilbur and other speakers who are the creators of our new literature. We have gradually been entering the world of the muses which stretches on and never dies as long as literature lives. Psyche: H. Lowe, Treasurer; 8. Horn, President; B. Macauley, Vice-President; L. Morehouse, Secretary

MISS TRASK MR. GARABEDIAN MiSS FENNER MR. RAMSEYER Music Club: §. Unfried, pres.; J. Lowett, sec.-treas. PAPEL “Bach and Brahms together” With his hoof, Pegasus kicked the fountain of the muses, and music sprang forth from the earth and spread in brilliant tones throughout the world to inspire man. We heard music all around us. A counterpoint of music came in fragmentary bits from the music studio. We heard concertos and sonatas and études all at once. We listened and we learned that music, like all arts, must have form and order. At the music club, we came to- gether to listen to Bach and Brahms. We were sad the morning after the concert performance when we watched the workmen transport dis- membered pieces of the Steinway through the chapel door. But the piano was there in Mary Lyon for our morning classes where we plotted out our harmony. Some of us wrote the notes for our music. Some of us played the notes. But we all learned about music, the mystic art of the muses which Pegasus gave to man. Page seventeen

MISS WORK MR. MACDONALD ‘At table it becomes no one to be bashful” “What is it that is four-legged and two-legged and three-legged?” Oedopus knew that it is a man who crawls on four legs when he is young, walks on two legs when he is full grown, and uses, when he is old, a third leg, a cane of wisdom. Pegasus inspired the Greeks to develop their dramas and myths, and he inspired ws to learn more about the clas- sical civil izations. Classh CS The ruins of ancient Greece and Rome are buried, but, after our study, we need not excavate deeply in our own minds to find fragments of classic thought that have become a part of us. For, after all, was not Pegasus himself a Greek Horse? Classic Club: N. Tisdale, President; M. Tarantino, Secretary-Treasurer a Page nineteen
