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.

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.

For, after all, was not Pegasus himself a Greek Horse? Classic Club: N. Tisdale, President; M. Tarantino, Secretary-Treasurer a Page nineteen

Anguages As the tape revolved, we tried to repeat the Russian sounds that were so strange to us at first. We listened to the music of the Russian people, and were moved by the gay and mournful tones. We tried to imagine the Russian peasants with their polished boots and bright colors. Perhaps we became a little more romantic when speaking Spanish. Tertulia was the time for fun, for eating spicy Spanish foods, and for learning vivacious Spanish dances. When some of us went with the Experiment to Spain or Mexico, we returned with a bien venido. We learned the languages of the world through careful study mixed with fun, and now we can speak with people of other countries and ap- preciate their literature and life We have discovered that our way of life is not the only way.
