' WINTHROP VVINNER Uncle Sam lVhen Americans chose a personage to represent them, it seems very natural that they should have the Stars and Stripes predominate in his appearance. Let us look at this good fellow for a moment. His topper is embellished with white stars on a blue ground and red and white stripes. He wears the authentic costume of the early nineteenth century-long, red and white striped trousers, and a swallow-tailed coat, blue with the same white stars. Though rather gay in the choice of color in his attire, he symbolizes the American people, are they not as gay and equally unconservative? But his face? It isn't the jolly, hale face of John Bull or hasn't the bliss of jacques Bonnhommef' Cn the con- trary, it is long, with a calm and pensive air quite out of keeping with his gay costume. And what is even more peculiar, he has a long, white beard which he persists in pulling while think- ing over some weighty problem. VVere it not for this you might mistake him for a Harvard freshman. Yet, it is said that when one reaches his seventies one loses a great deal of his common sense. Let us compare this fellow with his very near relative, John Bull, who is of about the same age. Uncle Sam is, as we hav-e said before, grave, pensive, has a very peculiar taste in his clothes, and is exceedingly tall and slim. john, on the other hand, is short and fat with a huge stomach which he gained, no doubt, from drinking numer- ous draughts of ale. His clothes though nearly as loud as his relatives, are much less dignified. These two kinsmen, though quite different, have thought a great deal of each other since Sain in his early youth proved to the other that he had a lighting spirit as well as a mind of his own. This quite surprised John but he liked him all the better for it. Sam and john have stuck together 5' for nearly two hun- dred years since, during which time they have had only slight quarrels, but every- one knows that near relatives must have a few ups and downs. However, we hope that in the future the relations between the two friends will be even more peaceful and under- standing. Richard Bowring, '40 My Valley Ah! a deep sigh involuntarily es- caped me as I gazed, awed, at the in- effable beauty below me. It seemed as though God had made rich a spot es- pecially for my benefit, for what soul would not be spiritually uplifted at the scene which met my eyes? In the depth of the valley a little brook babbled happily over its rocky way till soon it fell in small cascades down the side of a hill. The earth all about was covered with a very soft and richly col- ored green carpet. A few young bould- ers scattered here and there might have provided chairs or thrones for the shy wood creatures who probably assembled here. A dead tree, which must have been present for ages, had fallen across the brook. Designed upon it were all manner of beautiful fungi. The sweet fragrance of ladies' slippers, mayflowers, and wild violets were wafted to me by the gentle south breeze. On the banks of my valley, a few tall, straight birches lent their touch and seem to me to defy man to spoil their shining whiteness. Wliile l gazed, wild- eyed with the wonder of all God's work, as though the picture were not yet com- plete, a tiny fawn stepped hesitantly forth from the opposite side, sniffed the air, looked this way and that, then cau- tiously tripped daintily down to the water's edge to drink of the cool, spark- ling liquid.
