tii Totem 19 9 What is REAL? asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle? Real isn't how you are made, said the Skin Horse. It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long,long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real. Does it hurt? asked the Rabbit. Sometimes, said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. When you re Real you don't mind being hurt. Does it happen all at once, like being wound up, he asked, or bit by bit? lt doesn' happen all at once, said the Skin Horse. You become. lt takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you ean't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit A yearbook takes a long time to become Real. lt doesn't happen in the nine months of hard work and caring by people who 'see' the book even before it exists. Real will happen to this book only after it's been pored over, laughed over and cried over for a long, long time. Totem '79 wasn't designed to be Real right away, lt will bceome. lt will happen ... slowly ... after some pages have been torn, after some pictures have been smudged, after the binding has been broken and after the cover has grown shabby. But thcse things won't matter-because the book will be Real. You understand pa 3 J' jf 0.55. -f . : Desiree Howell.
