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

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

MR. VAKAR MISS LITTLEFIELD FRENCH CLUB: B. Carlson, Pres- ident; D. Epstein, Secretary-T reas- urer. GERMAN CLUB: M. Towne, President; J. Angeletti, Secretary- Treasurer. SPANISH CLUB: M. Tarantino, President; S. Spaulding, Secretary- Treasurer. Page twenty Modern Man had many feelings about his world and his life. He could not be a mute being. So Pegasus taught him to speak to other men with words that were not only necessary, but were beautiful, too. Pegusas is the petit cheval blanc with whom we rode into the literature of many lands. This wise cheval led us into the “Cercle Francais” where we listened to the songs of Jean Sablon and heard stories of Nouveau Wheaton arrivals in gay Paris. Even though we didn’t have a chance to drink real schnaps at the German club picnics, we did hear talks of the Valkyries and we learned of the mystic ondines who played in the brooks and the fountains and the rivers of the Rhine Valley.
