THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 17 EDITORIALS A DAY AT THE FAIR Saturday, May 20, dawned full of promise to the class of ’ 39 . On this beautiful sunny day, they had an appointment at the New York World ' s Fair. As the bus rolled steadily toward the southwest, all the familiar landmarks were soon lost and the new ones continued to bring awed and delighted remarks from the group until the famous Perisphere and Trylon were seen towering in the distance and everyone realized that the Fair was now near at hand. It was an excited and hurried group that made their entrance to the fairgrounds. Having gained this ground we stood in wonder gazing at the spectacle before us. Lofty towers, bizarre-shaped structures—in fact, buildings of all sizes and shapes greeted our bewildered eyes. Furthermore, it was Tulip Week and most of the millions of tulips sent to the Fair by Holland were arranged artistically around trees, fountains, or statues, their bright colors presenting a breath-taking beauty. Everywhere there were people. Lanes and roads were thronged with all varieties of humanity. And the variance in the colors of their clothes was in tune with the color schemes of the Fair. As we became acquainted with the grounds, we noticed the striking simplicity of the arrangement and architecture of the buildings. The Theme Center of the Fair is a splendid example of this. The Trylon, which stands approximately 700 feet high, is constructed on the simple lines of a pyramid and the only suggestion of decoration about the Perisphere is a round pool of sky-blue water directly beneath it. From this pool there arise four sparkling glass jets upon which the Perisphere lightly rests. The use of color is another feature of the Fair. Blues, greens, reds, yellows are all blended together to make the fairgrounds a garden of color. Our first exploration took us down the Road of Wheels, where the progress of the automobile industry was vividly portrayed in the exhibits of such companies as Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Crosley, and others. During the course of the afternoon we proceeded down Constitutional Mall and visited the foreign platforms near the Court of Peace. The Italian building was among the most beautiful in structure with magnificent water falls flowing continuously from the feet of the statute of Roma at the top of the building down to a pool at the bottom. The glittering gold Tower of Poland was also impressive. Indeed, every foreign exhibit was unique and worthy of visitors ' time. The most valuable building on the grounds, I think, was the House of Jewels in which over four million dollars ' worth cf diamonds, emeralds, pearls, sapphires, and silverware were attractively displayed in well guarded showcases. As the theme of this building, there was a jeweled picture of the history of the diamond starting from its discovery and showing it ascension to man and the world. The inside of the Perisphere revealed new delights. It pictures a day and a night in a future metropolis called Democracity.’’ The lower half of the ball was a section 19
