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.

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.

MR. KNAPTON MISS CLEWES MISS GULLEY Page twenty-two MISS JAMES MISS NORTON History and Government From the time of the winged horses carved in granite on the Assyrian tombs, to the time of the flying red horses on the signs of today, Pe- gasus has lived on earth as a winged being with the power of knowledge and wisdom. If Pegasus is sought out, he can teach many things to man. Man says, “Time flies! Where does it go?” It rides with Pegasu s through the ages. We stopped for a while to glance back at the past part of the journey to see how governments rose, functioned, and fell, as they still do today. We saw war and peace and then, perhaps, for a moment, we visualized our own century as a piece in the pattern of a world. Now that we have a better insight into the history of the world, we might see Pegasus as he flies above us into future time, and perhaps we will be able to help direct him in his flight. “Governments rose, functioned and fell.” MISS SMITH
