In Memoriam

YOU can't put down on paper what you feel about Miss Carr. You can just stop a moment, and remember ... Her "Be seated, ladies" when you came into class . . Her infectious chuckle at those embarrassing slips of the tongue, and the way her dark eyes would sparkle, and still look soft ... Her classic remarks,"They say Geor Eliot's beauty lay in her expression—that's what people have always said of me.' And your horrified amazement when you first went into her. room one hot September afternoon, and found a swarm of buzzing wasps inside. She just laughed at you. She said the sound was so soothing. You disagreed, but you didn't say anything. . And when you were a new girl, and couldn't find your table for lunch, no one else thought to show you, but she did . and you were so embarrassed ... but she understood. She always understood. And all those long discussions on whether you'd rather be a pagan or a puritan. . . She always said pagan ... she so loved laughter and gaiety and sights and sounds and smells . She loved all things good and beautiful. You think of these things, and the thousands more like them that made Miss Carr r dear. and the grief at her loss is overshadowed by the joy of her acquaintance.

Dedication

THIS YEAR we dedicate our book to one who has given generously of herself, her time, and her energy for the good of the school. By unfailing thoughtfulness and unselfishness, her kindness and understanding, and by her stimulating scholarship, she has been an inspiration to all of us. It is with gratefulness that we, the Class of 1941, offer this, our year book, to Miss Ascher.

If you "nose" who we mean you'll not fail to understand. Dur's jokes have more corn in them than the state of Idaho, but we love her for it— she has a good soul. What Price Glory is her motto after being jilted weekly.

Dext swears that there is a jinx (Jencks) on her if come three o'clock, her mail box is empty—but then a loom is always weaving queer ideas. Having charge of all Canada mints leaves her in a wealthy state with a profit to buy—more Canada mints. Ido

MARLYNN LEVENTHAL

"Elvf-"

White Team. Secretary of Senior Class '40241. Christmas Pageant '49. Camera Club '49241. May Day Pageant '4.r. Editor of Year Book '41.

It's hard to put all the fine qualities of"Em into this short paragraph and also unnecessary, for everyone knows them. A sincere friend is scarce but first floor Hathaway has certainly been blessed by one. She might easily be compared with a doctor—being strict in her doses of advice.

CAROLINE SHORT "SHORTIE"

White Team Captain '49241. Treasurer of Senior Class '4024r. Middler Usher '40. Baccalaureate Choir '49. May Day Play '490. "Henry V" '39. Mask and Wig '4024r. "The Nursery Maid of Heaven," "The Duchess Says Her Prayers" '41. Waite Chorus '40. School Song and Cheer Leader '40-'41. Vice-President of Student Council '40. Assistant Editor of Year Book '41.

Short but sweet! We'll miss your improvising at the piano "Shortie," and Hathaway will miss your musical serenade first thing in the morning and the last at night. We'll remember your mad dash into the dining room half way through breakfast—and we'll remember that "nice things come in small packages."

ANN BOSWORTH

"BOZZIE"

White Team. Secretary of Student Council'40241. Dramatic 4ssociation '38-'39. Camera Club '38'41. Christmas Pageant '37. May Day Pageant '37, Middler Usher '49. Pinafore '41.

"Bozzie" is almost a tradition in the eyes of N.S.F.G. and one to be proud of, too. Usually seen walking around campus with her tongue in her cheek or on her inevitable Saturday pilgrimage, willing to gamble on Gable.

MARY ELIZABETH BOWMAN

"BEAU"

Captain of Green Team '49-'41. Dance Committee 'v. May Day Court 'v. Christmas and May Day Pageants '40.

"Beau" is known for her all round attractiveness and is usually found making a mad dash to get to breakfast on time or waiting around for a call or caller from Williamstown. She doesn't go in very much for the classics (id est) Latin and such, but when it comes to swing music she's right in the groove.

MARY VIRGINIA BROWN

"GINGER"

Green Team. President of Student Council '41. Vice-President of Mask and Wig '40-'41. Production Manager of Christmas Pageant '4o, "The Duchess Says Her Prayers" '4o, "The Nursery Maid of Heaven"'4r. ilssistant Business Manager of Pegasus '4o-'41. rIssistant Business Manager of Year Book '41.

Everyone who knows "Ginger" likes her. That sincere friendliness and sunny cheerfulness mingled with an unfailing sense of humor made us elect you president of Student Council—and we're proud of you "Ginger"!

NATALIE BROWN "NONNIE"

Green Team. French Club '39-'4o. La Fleur de Lys '9-'41. Mask and Wig '39-'41. Christmas Pageant '39240. May Day Pageant '39. "Henry V" '39. "Tomorrow" '40. "The Duchess Says Her Prayers"'4o. "The Nursery Maid of Heaven" '41. Pegasus '4O-'41. Baccalaureate Choir '4o. Day Girl Representative '3924o241. Junior Representative to Year Book '39. Literary Editor of Year Book '41. May Day Court '41.

Our budding genius takes the laurels in drama, has#a terrific I.Q., and is a veritable whiz at writing. Destined to be a prom-trotter, Nonnie's the boarders' pet prodigy and the teachers' white hope.

ALICE CANOVA "CANOVER"

White Team. Day Girl Representative '41. Mask and Wig '4o-'4.r. Production Manager of "The Nusery Maid of Heaven" '41. Riding Club '0-'41.

"Canover" inevitably turns up on one of our bad days with a perfectly swell idea to cheer us up. Her thoughtfulness makes her a God-send to the boarders and a true friend to everyone.

MARY MARGARET CHAPA "PETE"

White Team. President of Hathaway '4o. VicePresident of Camera Club '4(3-'41. May Day Pageant '41.

Pete came from a long way and it only makes us appreciate her even more. We all envy her for her smooth "Conga" dancing and those two fat air mail specials she gets every morning. Always ready to sing one of her Spanish songs for us— or to laugh at a joke—that's Pete!

SYLVIA GILMAN CONANT "SYL"

Green Team. Waite Chorus '40. Pinafore '41.

"Syl" and her ultra-ultra Bostonian accent are a hang-over from the "Hawvawd" days. After a week-end she can usually be caught Jaywalking even if she has to go a whole block around to catch up with herself. Luck to you "Syl"— we're all with you.

MARY ELIZABETH COONEY "COONEY"

Green Team. Mask and Wig '40-'41. Do I have any mail? Fortunately Mary is blessed with a good memory and a better nature to meet the inevitable question ... but then, nice things come in small packages.

I91-0

ANN CROCKER "CROCK"

Green Team. Pinafore '41.

It is only necessary to participate once in a famous Chapa-Crocker "bull-session" to hold the memory of it forever in your heart. The result— a delightful concoction of Mexican and New England ideas wrapped up with the well-known giggle from up Foxboro way—a memory you will never forget.

JUANITA DE OLLOQUI "NITA"

Green Team. Pegasus '40-'41. Mask and Wig '39241. May Day Pageant '40. "The Nursery Maid of Heaven" '41. Photographic Editor of Year Book '41.

Nita is the envy of all the boarders with that big car she drives around. With her glamorous photos she's proved a big rival for all the members of the Camera Club and even for Zamsky. And she doesn't photograph badly herself with those big brown eyes.

ELLEN-FAIRBANKS DIGGS

"DIGGSIE"

Green Team. Secretary of Middler Class '38-'39. Pegasus '36-'40. Baccalaureate Choir '39, '40. "Pirates of Penzance" '40. "Pinafore" '41. Program Chairman of French Club '39-'40. President of La Fleur de Lys '40-'41. Dramatic Club '36-'39. Mask and Wig '39-'41. "La Surprise d'Isidore" '40. Christmas Pageant '36,'40.

"Diggsie"—music lover and all-around student. She keeps La Fleur de Lys in "parler" order. Time does not catch her in its current of events. If we're not Mick-staken, Williston hath charms for her.

DOROTHY DUTCHER

"DUTCHIE"

White Team. Camera Club '40-'41. La Fleur de Lys'40:41. Waite Chorus '40.

"Dutchie"—tall, blonde—quiet manner—plus lovely clothes—also a Bowd'an arrow lying around. Her easel work and poster frame may some day give her loud acclaim.

ALICIA EGGER

"EGGIE"

White Team. Secretary of Student Council '41. "Pinafore"'

That wonderful disposition and subtle humor. We all know 'Licia. Remember the gal whom we all thought was so quiet? But we soon found out that still water runs deep!

NATALIE ENGLANDER "NAT"

Green Team. President of Hathaway '41. Fleur de Lys'02v. Pinafore 'v.

Nat goes around looking bewildered.#20But there is a lot more than meets the eye behind those big brown ones of hers. What a coincidence that she has a Canadian room mate! One of our few biological brainees.

SHIRLEY FENNEBRESQUE "FENN"

White Team. Vice-President Middler Class '39-'4o. President of Scott-Montgomery '39-'40. Vice-President of French Club '39-'40. Pegasus '39-'0. Editor of Pegasus'ojil. Baccalaureate Choir '40. Mask and Wig 39- fo-'41. "Henry V" '39. Christmas Pageant'0, 41. May Day Pageant'0. "The Duchess Says Her Prayers" '40. Vice-President of La Fleur de Lys '40-'41. ifssistant Editor of Year Book '41. President of Glee Club '0241. Waite Chorus '4o. Dance Committee '40, '41. "Pinafore" '41. May .Queen

"Dark Eyes" is in brief a perfect description of "Fenn." Forever running over to "review a record" for Music App or running down to "work on Peg," she can never be found when needed. A loyal friend, she is ever dependable and very much fun.

RUTH DELANEY HORRIGAN "CURLEY"

Green Team. Pegasus '40-'41. Mask and Wig '40-'41. May Day Pageant '40. "The Nursery Maid of Heaven" '41. Baccalaureate Choir '40.

The pride of Holyoke with her dancing,and we might add dramatic ability after seeing her in The Nursery Maid of Heaven. To be found ever and evermore listening to records in the recess room—preferably T. Dorsey.

RUTH MARJORY JEFFERS

"JEFF"

Captain of White Team '39. President of Student Council'40-'41. President of Junior Class '38-'39. President of Middler Class '39-'40. Pegasus '38'39. Business Manager of Pegasus '39240. Editor of Pegasus '40-'4u. "Pirates of Penzance" '40. "Pinafore" '41. Waite Chorus '40. Mask and Wig '39240. Program Chairman of La Fleur de Lys '41. Middler Usher '40. Chairman of Dance Committee '41. Art Editor of Year Book '41. Middler Representative to Year Book '40. Day Girl Representative '38239-'40. Maid of Honor in May Court '41.

It's impossible to tell of the respect we hold for "Jeff." Her winning smile has endorsed a spirit in us all—one of comradeship and loyalty. Blessed with a sparkling soprano,she ran off with the lead in H.M.S. Pinafore. Ever in the limelight, "Jeff" initiated us into the rules and traditions of N.S.F.G. by ably presiding over the S. C. first semester.

MARION JUNKIN

"JUNKIE"

White Team. French Club '39240. La Fleur de Lys '40-'41. Mask and Wig '39240. President of Mask and Wig'40241. "Henry V"'39. Christmas Pageant '39. May Day Pageant '40. Stage Managerfor "The Duchess Says Her Prayers"'40 and "The Nursery Maid of Heaven"'41.

If you see a dust storm coming you can be sure it's "Junkie"—in a rush as usual. Mask and Wig keeps her on the go. Best known for pigtails and blow cheeks.

MELINDA NORRIS KENNEDY "MELINDA"

White Team. French Club '39-'1°. Program Chairman of La Fleur de Lys'49. "La Surprise d'Isidore '49. Mask and Wig '39-'4r. Programsfor several productions '39-'41. "Henry V" '39. Christmas Pageant '39. May Day Pageant '49,'41. "Pirates of Penzance" '49. "Pinafore" '41. zissistant Business Mancvr of Year Book '41

Versatile would hardly express Melinda's apptitudes and interests—French Club, Mask and Wig, and the year book to mention a very few. Modern dance, Italian, and Greek help to round out an already full program.

JANE KNICKERBOCKER "NICKIE"

Green Team. Christian ilssociation

Three steps down to "Nickie's" room where the thorough student may often be found putting the finishing touches on la belle lecon francaise. She's just waiting to open her dress shop where she may sell knick-knacks on the side.

CLAIRE LA ROSE

"CLAIRE"

Green Team. Mask and Wig. La Fleur de Lys '49-'41. Waite Chorus '40. "Pinafore" '41.

Dear dairy. from grade A milk to grad of N.S.F.G. Claire is well known for her infectious laughter and healthy appetite ... and "when my sister was here.. .." A grand person who keeps things lively on the second floor.

VIRGINIA LIST

"JINNY"

Treasurer of Athletic Association '39240. President of Athletic Association '40241. Mask and Wig '39240. Production Manager of Mask and Wig '49-'41. Stage Manager of May Day Pageant '40 and Christmas Pageant '40. "The Nursery Maid of Heaven" '41. Waite Chorus '39, '40. Baccalaureate Usher '40. Camera Club '40-'41. Riding Club '40-'41. Pegasus '39240,'40241.

Everyone knows "the gal with the smile"— consequently not much need be said here. Blessed with a wonderful sense of humor and a "bang" personality,"Jinny" runs away with popularity honors. Coming from out Illinois way it's probably the Northwestern influence.

PHYLLIS ELAINE LOWE

"PHIDDY"

Green Team. Christmas Pageant '40.

"Phiddy" didn't stop talking about Christmas vacation until spring vacation about which she is still talking. Pity be to her room mate next fall. Supposedly quiet, you gave yourself away with such a grand personality and swell disposition.

JUNE ELAINE MAILMAN

"JUNE"

White Team. Pegasus '40-'41.

Don't mistake June for her room mate as people often do. She's the quiet one, but if necessary she can make plenty of noise. She's a one-man-woman right now and takes a great interest in our feathered friends. at 2,7 10

MARY JANE NEUWEILER

4. M. J. PO

Green Team. Mask and Wig '40241. "The Nursery Maid of Heaven" '41. Camera Club '40'41. Pegasus '40241.

She was quiet, quite reserved and very lonesome when she arrived. But we all know her now—a deeply sincere person, a real pal, and a jolly wit. It's all of us who are aware of this and constantly feel it. Everyone seems to "Bob" up from Walnut Street, Pennsylvania, but if they're all like M. J. we'll take them without a reference.

BRUCE NICHOLSON "BRUCE"

While Team. La Fleur de Lys '40241. Mask and Wig'40241. "The Duchess Says Her Prayers"'40. Christmas Pageant 'go. "The Nursery Maid of Heaven"'v. Pegasus '40-'41.

Quite a surprise to find such an utterly charmingly feminine personage as Miss Nicholson attached to the name Bruce. Classing at the top with Nonnie, the Brown-Nicholson troupe ran away with every prize in the drama end of the school activities. You don't often find a scholar, an actress, and a friend all rolled up in one, but here is A-1 evidence of the startling fact.

FRANCES O'SHEA

"FRANNIE"

Green Team. Dramatic Club '36-'41. Christmas Pageant 'go. May Day Pageant '37, '38, 39. "Nursery Maid of Heaven" '41. Pegasus '36-'4z. "Pirates of Penzance" '39. Dance Committee '41.

Give a "Yale" for O'Shea. Rah! Rah! Rah! What would we do without Frannie's wild tales of males and of fancy experiences? Except for a little cramming concerning the fugal accomplishments of Beethoven and Bach we can "counte point" behind her name as one of the gayest persons we know.

MARY MARCELLA PURCELL

"MARY MAR"

President of Hathaway '41. Green Team.

After coming all the way from Washington you wonder how Mary Mar's shoulders can still be so straight. Thought to be quiet herself she was paired off with "Licia"— and what a pair! It's worth your life to get through to the sleeping porch if they feel like entertaining. Qf 2910

SHIRLEY RICE "SHIA',"

White Team. May Day Pageant'40,'41. Christmas Pageant 'go. Middler Dance Committee.

Why is it that sentimental things like orchids at night, angora mittens against a lapel, or a toasted cheese sandwich after a day of skiing remind us of "Shin"? Maybe it's because those famous blond bangs of hers are so typically "Shirl"—and blond bangs can be very sentimental.

SUZANNE SMITH "SUE"

Green Team. Treasurer of Athletic Association '40-'41. Mask and Wig '40-'41. Christmas Pageant '40. May Court '41.

"Susie" bobs about continually clutching a mail (male) bag. Heads for Nassau regions when the cold winds blow. That sunny smile comes from using so much Colgate tooth paste. Bighearted—big—and always dieting.

PRISCILLA STORER "PEGGY"

Green Team. May Day Pageant '41.

A very sweet girl with lovely blue eyes—that's Peggy! How are those exercises coming—and those letters from guess what college? A great little athlete and a charming person.

EILEEN SULLIVAN "SULLIE"

White Team. May Day Pageant '41. Mask and Wig '40-'41.

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure an' it's our little "Sullie." Her dimples made Zamsky call for more—photos. Gardenias are her specialty.

BETTY JANE TARLTON

,. B. J. Pf

Green Team. President of Scott-Montgomery '39. President of Christian Association '40-'41. Mask and Wig '39-'40. Secretary-Treasurer of Mask and Wig'o-'i. "Henry V"'39. Baccalaureate Choir '40. May Court '41. Camera Club '40241. Business Manager of Year Book '41.

Classed as the middle "We Three," B.J. introduced herself to us by her frantic appeal in chapel for "just a small contribution." B.J. has a very appealing vagueness in her conversation and is most absent-minded. Yet we couldn't love her any more than we do.

JENNIFER TURNER

"JENNIFER"

White Team. Mask and Wig '40-'41. La Fleur de Lys '40241. "La Surprise d'Isidore" '40. "Pinafore" '41.

If it were anyone but Jennifer, I doubt if we could be so easily persuaded to stand to one side and watch England take all the scholastic honors. And it is because of her sense of fair play and her sportsmanship that we admire her. 4 32P

WILMA WELCH "WILMA"

Green Team. Riding Club 'io-'41. May Day Pageant '41.

Welch—a rare bit. Speaking of bits—horses are her hobby and we don't mean hobby horses. She's a real equestrienne—dark eyes, dark hair. Art is easel-y her fort. ei 33 1°

La Fleur de Lys

La Fleur de Lys, alias the French Club, completely resurrected itself this year. It startled the school with a breath-taking series of parties, plays, teas, and other festivities ably directed by Ellen-F. Diggs. Assisting her were Shirley Fennebresque, vice-president; Mimi Schneider, secretary-treasurer; Melinda Kennedy and Ruth Jeffers, program chairmen. We heartily congratulate these worthies and hope that in the years to come the officers and members will continue the traditions established this year.

Student Council

Headed at the first of the year by Ruth Jeffers as president, Caroline Short as vice-president, Anne Bosworth as secretary, assisted by Betty Jane Tarlton, Nancy White, Mary M. Chapa, Judy Pease, Ellen Von Hofen, Prudence Hyde, Shirley Hill and Barbara Miller, the Student Council again organized to settle problems which arise among student affairs during the year. The second Council with Ginger Brown as president, Carol Somerville as vice-president, Alicia Eggers as secretary, Mary Mar Purcell, Nancy White, Sally Lamson, Sadie Fors, Canova, Mary C. Whiting, Nonnie Brown, Miriam Duryea, B.J. Tarlton and J. List as assistants, continued to work, and the year came to a close with the Student Council again bridging problems between students and faculty.

Mask and Wig

This year the Mask and Wig has progressed by leaps and bounds. Making a brilliant start with its production of "The Duchess Says Her Prayers," it continued in its versatile career by presenting a colorful Christmas pageant. Next came the moving performance of "The Nursery Maid of Heaven," followed by an American Indian May Day pageant. We hope, as we know they will, that the high standards set by Marion Junkin and her able staff will continue with the future officers and members.

"The Nursery Maid of Heaven"

Camera Club

The Camera Club was organized last fall to encourage its members to take pictures of other girls, sports, and scenes about them. The following officers presided: Gloria Sorrentino, president; Mary Margaret Chapa, vice-president; Priscilla Daniels, secretary-treasurer. It is hoped that the club will increase in size and variety of interests in the succeeding years.

Christian Association

Throughout the year Christian Association has led the way in promoting many beneficial activities. At Thanksgiving, baskets were given to the needy and at Christmas, food, clothes ' and toys were presented to the Children's Hospital. Golden Rule dinners were held at school to raise money for British and Greek war relief, while weekly knitting sessions took place for the same purpose. Our conscientious officers—Betty Jane Tarlton, president, and Carol Somerville, secretary-treasurer—have kept us on our toes and made the year a highly successful one.

Pegasus

For the first time in the history of the school we have had a paper which was actually printed. After six years of ignominious purple mimeographing, Pegasus shone forth in printed splendor this year. Although Peg is confined to four pages an issue and only five issues, we see growth and improvement ahead. The staff this year was headed by Ruth Jeffers and Shirley Fennebresque, editors; Prudy Hyde, business manager; Ginger Brown, assistant business manager. Last but not least, Miss Catherine King served as faculty advisor.

Glee Club

Following the usual custom of the school, Glee Club again comprised the entire student body. Under the direction of Mr. Gorokhoff, the club sang for the Christmas and May Day pageants, and the annual joint concert at Williston Academy. The officers this year were: president, Shirley Fennebresque; librarians, Barbara Miller and Mary Cynthia Whiting.

Spring Promenade

The third annual Spring Promenade was held in the Colonial Room at the Hotel Northampton on April 19, 1941. The dance committee was composed of Ruth Jeffers, chairman,Shirley Fennebresque business manager; Mary E. Bowman, programs, Judy Pease, refreshments; Franny O'Shea, orchestra; and Mimi Graeve, invitations.

Dance Committee

Left to right: Pease, Fennebresque, Jeffers (Chairman), O'Shea, Bowman.

Athletic Association

The Athletic Association began the 5940-41 season by electing Jinny List, president; Mary Elizabeth Bowman, Green team captain; Caroline Short, White team captain; Nancy White, secretary; and Sue Smith, treasurer. Basketball, hockey, and soccer were played in the fall, at which games the teams proved evenly matched. Skating increased tremendously in popularity this winter due to the newly-organized Circle Eight Skating Club, while swimming continued as usual at the Smith pool. With the return of spring, archery, tennis, golf, volley ball, and badminton came to the fore.

First Honor

THE SILENT QUEEN

The sun sank low amidst his clouds of down Of regal hue, fit pillows for his head. His splendid litter of world-wide renown, A pagan monarch's fiery gold and red, Proclaimed him king of realms unlimited. His pompous ride was ended for the day; The dewy dawn,the splendid noon were fled; In glowing glorious fire he slid away Over the rim of earth brightly shines his last ray.

As twilight threw on earth her filmy coat And eerie darkness clasped each hill and dale, Then, heralded by that all heavenly note Which mortals dream to be the nightingale, The moon shone forth: triumphant and yet pale.

The night did homage as she sailed on high Serene, majestic, with no cloudlike veil, The world could only breathe a longing sigh, Each night he was entranced by the queen of the sky.

The trees were quivering in the sombre lake, Strange passion, for her image floating near Filled them; and yet the silence did not break.

They drank from that still water, dark and clear, Her loveliness: so far and yet too near. Upon the earth her presence cast a spell; Silent the laughing glens, the mountains drear,

On each her ghostly light would softly dwell; Yet alone she moved,weighed down by cares invisible.

—yennifer Turner

Second Honor

FAITH

Mother!

Cried the child, extending a bruised hand, Kiss it and make it well.

The mother brushed her lips over the scraped skin—

And the hurt left, the sting was gone.

Father—

Prayed the man, baring a tortured soul. Hear me and give me strength.

The Father heard and sent His light into the darkness—

And the pain was gone out, his soul was cleansed.

—R. M.7.

WHERE HAS APRIL GONE?

Today it seems that spring has come and gone—

And now, in April, summer's here.

The wind, that should be soft and sweet and mild, Is hot and sultry, and the sky Is pale and grayly blue—

A misty, watery hue.

I cannot see the crocuses from here.

Crocuses—today? That cannot be—

No, it's zinnias that come in August,prickly flowers

That hotly bloom in this hot heavy air. I don't like zinnias, I want violets.

Not summer now, Lord, not so soon—

Please, let's have April now, With cool spring rains, and sweet spring smells, And leaves just coming green.

And apple blossoms, later on, not past so soon.

Not August now, Lord, not so soon—

Oh, where has April gone?

THE MAESTRO

The lights dimmed and went off. Even the stage lights were off, the only one being a tremendous spotlight, focused on the piano. Silence .... No one appeared. Little whispers rippled back and forth. Then,suddenly, when people had just begun to be bored or excited, the stage door crashed open .... A small mousy man stepped out. His tails, though of a perfect cut, enveloped him, and his tremendous glasses, perched on a slight, thin nose, made him look like a worried owl. There was still silence and he faltered visibly. "It's the great Pantoufle!" yelled someone and the house let loose. The Maestro bowed, from the waist up, with stiff, jerky little movements, his pale blue eyes immobile in a troubled face.

He sat down. He rubbed his hands. They touched the keys and he lost himself to another world. The notes poured forth like a waterfall at its crest—gay, rippling, or languid.

Although Pantoufle created so timid a picture, he was a man of great passion; his shock of iron-gray hair and the long thin hands which held thousands enthralled showed that. He sat perfectly still, but those powerful hands that frolicked with the keys moved untiringly, pouring out the passions of his soul as does a caged canary when he sings.

The concert was over and an earthquake of applause thundered over him, smothering him in its heat and tumult. He bowed, and the same stiff, Jerky little bows, now a little drooping, leaned out at the frenzied audience. The lights went on and the buzz of comments began.

Back stage, Maestro Pantoufle walked slowly to his dressing room. He was tired, and his nervous fingers mopped his wet brow with a rumpled white handkerchief. He rubbed his hands convulsively and sighed a shaky sigh. He was old now, and soon only echoes of his playing would resound across the world. He reached his room and wearily lay down to rest.

DIGGS VERSUS PEWTER

. "The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me." This famous quotation from Emerson's essay on Gifts has long been a family maxim. Accordingly, I have successfully passed through all the stages of creating gifts from glueing colored paper circles on match boxes to embroidering guest towels. But last year, when I attained the memorable age of fifteen, I rebelled against more cross stitching. After assiduously studying all the arts and crafts suggestions available, I discovered the idea—pewter work. The magazine article, displaying a symmetrical pewter bowl with an intricate design etched on it, and describing explicitly every process of the transformation of a dull, flat disc into this paragon of beauty, concluded,"and this exquisite gift may be easily finished in a few hours." I was supremely happy, dreaming blissfully of humbly, yet proudly, presenting all my numerous relatives with attractive, handmade gifts: bonbon dishes to the ladies, and ash trays to the men.

I soon found that pride really precedes destruction. My worst struggle was with the first bonbon dish because the person (for pewter was certainly a person) refused to cooperate. He required special attention not explained in the directions; in fact, he disagreed with the magazine on almost every point. One afternoon, feeling exceptionally industrious, I commenced to trace meticulously a design on the pewter plate, by means of

carbon paper. When I removed the paper, the shining disc winked superciliously up at me. No mark marred its gleaming surface. After much experimentation, I discovered that pewter would yield only to very soft pencil carbon. Grimly I repolished him with turpentine and set to work. Victory, thought I; but fate and r ewter conscired, and decreed otherwise.

The next step was to paint all the surface to remain unetched with viscuos black asphaltum. For two days I labored diligently, straightening each line painstakingly. Then I laid Pewter in his bed on the top shelf of the kitchen closet to dry and harden. When I opened the door the following morning, oh, what had happened? Pewter's self-satisfied smirk was completely concealed by glittering black enamel which had spread during the night. Gone were my illusions that "an exquisite gift may be easily finished in a few hours."

Determined not to allow Pewter to conquer me, I resolut2ly wi ed off the paint and began all over again. But my initial enthusiasm had waned. Accidentally I Fad used stove enamel instead of the asphaltum required by Pewter. The proletariat members of the Pewter family receive but two coats of paint; this aristocrat demanded three. He was in mortal fear of not having enough protection from the powerful nitric acid. Three he got. In spite of his strong protests and doleful pleadings, I plunged him in the basin of acid; in fact, I admit feeling smug pleasure in coldly disregarding his wrathful sr luttcrings and out of seeing several layers peel off his unpainted areas.

If I thought my troubles were over, I was sadly mistaken because Pewter tried, unsuccessfully, it is true, but nevertheless persistently, to avenge himself. When I gently swabbed off the remaining paint, he managed somehow to have it all accumulate under my finger nails. For several days schoolmates and teachers stared contemptuously at my grimy hands, and tittered and whispered at my expense. Now that I was ready to mold Pewter, the real battle began. I would carefully settle Pewter in his mold, hold him firmly, and aim a blow. He would wriggle and squirm, emitting heart-rending squeals. By the time he received the impact of the leather-covered mallet, he would be crushed, and only became more and more lop-sided. Finally, because of my advantage in strength and size, I triumphed. Pewter, once a lusterless, unattractive disc, was now a gracefully molded, cleanly etched bowl. One credit I owe to Pewter: he acquiesced graciously to polishing. Soon his finish was satiny. There he stood, preening himself, now proud of his beauty. Needless to say, all my aunts and uncles did not receive "exquisite gifts" of bonbon dishes and ash trays for Christmas. As for me, I believe that Pewter has imparted his contumacy to all his sisters and brothers, for I am still struggling with Pewter. —Ellen-Fairbanks Diggs

MOVIE AUDIENCES

In Shakespeare's time the privileged class of people could sit on the stage during the performance of a play. Here they made audible comments about the ability of the actors, much to the latter's annoyance. Today motion pictures are more popular than plays; there the actors can not be annoyed, as they are merely flashed upon the screen. Also, as class distinction has been abolished, there should be no people who feel they have the right to make a disturbance. However, there are still some people who feel that they are privileged enough to make noise in the theatre, and, because they can't annoy the actors, they make it most unpleasant for the rest of the audience.

In a theatre in a boys' college town one can easily be disturbed. The students usually attend a movie in crowds, caring little whether they have seen the picture before. Their object is to make vociferous and witty criticisms and to keep up a steady conversation. In this same category is a convention of Legionnaires who have not seen a good"Western thriller" since they celebrated the signing of the Armistice. They clap and cheer the hero and hoot and howl at the villain. They make more noise than the children at the Saturday morning showing of Mickey Mouse's latest adventure. In the case of the children it is not

48 1-0

so bad for most people have learned to stay away from the theatre where Mickey is featured. But the Legionnaires usually come without much warning and there is no escaping them.

Besides the major commotions there are many petty agitations in a theatre. To be seated directly behind a woman with an exceptionally large feather in her hat which she stubbornly refuses to remove is a sure way to lose all the enjoyment of the movie. The candy eater who rattles the paper constantly is never very helpful. Then there is the nervous type, who must tap his foot against the back of your chair or his fingers on the arm rest. .These people injure their neighbor's nerves and dispositions more than they benefit their own. Of course, there is usually some one nearby who has seen the picture before and, in tones loud enough to be heard within a radius of two rows, is telling his neighbor who committed the murder. If you don't like surprises this is fine; but most people prefer to pick out their own villain. You must think from my preceding remarks that everyone goes to a movie to make noise and give off excess energy. But that is not true for there are some people who seek refuge there from the swift-moving pace of city life. If you are lucky enough to be seated next to one of these people you may enjoy yourself to your utmost, for your neighbor will sleep peacefully on, not bothering you at all. However, when you wish to leave it is sometimes slightly awkward to crawl over him to get out, yet there are always two aisles to every section of seats and surely the twelve people on the other side of you won't mind moving so you will not have to nurdle your friend.

—Nancy White

IN DEFENSE OF ONE OF THE FINER THINGS OF LIFE

"Fudge," said the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, "is the essence of all the enjoyment in life. With fudge, life is worth living, and earth is a paradise. Without it, existence is drab, the human being an empty, soulless shell."

.And who are we to doubt a man like Epicurus? True, there are some unimaginative dieticians who claim that fudge is merely an unhygienic sweetmeat, bad for the complexion and extremely fattening. It is our opinion that these insufferable bores get their theories from our ancestors, the witch burning Puritans of Salem and thereabouts. These people have not lived, and will not, until the time when they shall be converted to the Order of Fudge-Eaters.

We once knew a Communist in East Bridgewater, Ohio, who spent all his time in writing odes to fudge. He shot himself, poor chap, when his doctor said he must never touch the stuff again. Before this prohibition, the man had firmly believed he could take it or leave it alone, but when the time came, he discovered, alas, that he could not live without it. Of course, he was•a Communist. Fudge is not habit forming with the normal man or woman.

Even the animal kingdom feels the need of fudge. It is a well known fact that Omaha, the famous race horse, always refused to run a race unless given at least a full pound of the delicious energy-giving food beforehand. After his fifth winning, Omaha's jockey, Mr. Potts, was asked,"What makes this here nag run like she do?"

"Oh, Fudge," petulantly replied Mr. Potts.

We do not know whether this historic remark was intended as an answer to the query, or if it was due to the jockey's having lost his shirt in betting on the wrong horse.

We are now approaching February, often called the fudge month because of its many relations to the life-giving concoction. One of these is the little-known reason for groundhog day, February second. On this date, a ground-hog, while burrowing his merry way underneath the earth, noticed a delicious odor. He emerged from his idyllic hideaway and discovered that it was the aroma from a pan of fudge set on a neighboring back porch to cool. He told his friends of his find and ever since that day,long years past, the second of February has been dedicated to the lowly ground-hog.

Fudge was also a great factor in the lives of many famous men and women. How would Abe Lincoln have had the energy to study for hours by firelight without the sustenance of a plate of fudge at his elbow? Would George Washington have told the truth about the cherry tree if his father had not promised him his fill of fudge if he were an honest little boy? And one need only look at pictures of Queen Victoria in her later years to see that even she was a devotee of this luscious confection.

Not only our late friend in Ohio, but other more famous poets have devoted their lives to the praise .of fudge. Nelson Eddy, in his picture, "Balalaika," sings with gusto, "Fudge is waiting. Ride, Cossack, ride." Of course, the Russian does not sound exactly like this. Think of Omar Khayyam's world-famous lines about "a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou." Thou, of course, refers to fudge. As to the line "Beside me singing in the wilderness," Mr. Fitzgerald is known to have taken liberties with the text. The literal translation of the expression "nectar and ambrosia," is "fudge and who cares what else?" We are told that Charles Lamb wrote many of his best essays while trying desperately to keep his sanity. This struggle is obviously the cause of"A Dissertation on Roast Pig." After his physician had told him that fudge must be forbidden him forever more, the heartbroken essayist tried bravely to convince himself that roast pig was all a man could desire. For his own sake, we sincerely hope he succeeded. Though we could go on for hours about the efficacy and popularity of fudge, the time is growing short, and we do not wish to bore our unseen friends in the world of literature. If we delved into the private life of almost any figure in history, from antiquity to the present day, the record would reveal that fudge was a vital factor in his or her career. However, dtar reader, if you are not yet convinced, may we recommend a recipe you will find on almost any can of good chocolate. Read it; try it; and when the fudge is done, taste it. You will not regret your actions. But a word of warning before you start. Note well that as in learning, there is no "royal road" to fudge. The old-fashioned, boiled and beaten way is much to be preferred to the modern, uncooked method which turns out, at best, only an imitation.

A Delphic Interlude

The Times, June, 1951, Northampton. — For a recent Gallup poll, the board of trustees of the N.S.F.G., Northampton, Mass., investigated the whereabouts and occupations of their class of 1941. The results, here published, are extremely indicative and significant. We quote:

"BRUCE NICHOLSON was caught between rehearsals for her latest stage production, a revival of"The Duchess Says Her Prayers," which promised to more fun than "Tobacco Road." MARION JuNKIN was seen scurrying around backstage with an orchid on her bosom and a pipe in her mouth, muttering unflattering references to directors, stars, authors and business managers. Across the street, at the Metropolitan Opera House, we found RUTH JEFFERS doing her weekly matinee performance in the title role of "Martha." The audience, mostly children, enjoyed hugely the prima donna's captivating voice and also the costumes, designed by La Jeffers herself. MELINDA KENNEDY was discovered nearly buried under a pile of books. She explained hurriedly that she was studying for her Ph.D. and that she wanted peace and quiet. We peered over her shoulder and noted that she was working on a huge diagram, written in French with van -colored inks. Her thesis, perhaps? CLAIRE LA ROSE, snuggly wrapped in a full-length platinum fox-fur cape, was speeding about the city in a snow-white Cadillac. Just returned from Reno and the cattlecountry, she said that the West looked as good as ever and that the milk was better.

SUE SMITH was at an employment agency with a gentleman, answering an advertisement for a butler and a chambermaid. We caught a glimpse of MARY COONEY at the reception in Washington after her appointment as successor to Mr. Walker as postmaster general. SHIRLEY FENNEBREsQuE was seen entering the Stork Club with a handsome stranger, as the columnists burst forth with the well-known cry, "Shirley's got a da-ate!

Shirley's got a da-ate!" RUTH HORRIGAN and ALICE CANOVA were somewhere between Northampton and Holyoke, still commuting. We dropped in at GINGER BROWN'S dude ranch in Montana, where business is terrific owing to Sport's propensity for getting up spontaneous theatricals. BETTY JANE TARLTON was still taking singing lessons and MARLYNN LEVENTHAL was found in her office as editor-in-chief of that new magazine, madly banging out the "Gollywog Cakewalk" on the top of her desk. She said it brought her inspiration. ANN BOSWORTH was interviewed between screams at a Holyoke High basketball game. NONNIE BROWN was tearing her hair over the entries in "Your True Story's latest $1,000 prize short story contest." JINNY LIST was found dissecting a turtle in Buffalo's largest laboratory. She was whistling "I Can't Get Started," that old favorite from way back. WiLmA WELCH was working like mad over her latest Kentucky thoroughbreds. She expects to win blue ribbons in the fall shows.

SHIRLEY RICE was caught on her way to an appointment to pose for our foremost commercial photographer, JUANITA DE OLLOQUI. We interviewed ELLEN-F. DIGGs after her inauguration as the youngest president Smith College ever had. MIRIAM DURYEA was modelling as only Duryea can model in JANE KNICKERBOCKER'S newly opened salon, where prices are getting better and better. NATALIE VOGEL and PHYLLIS LOWE were next-door neighbors in a little New England town. They both had lovely big yards for the children to play in. We didn't get a chance to talk to JENNIFER TURNER who was on the air in a broadcasting station. PRISCILLA STORER was running a summer camp in the wilds of Maine. MARY JANE NEUWEILER was busy being queen of the Dartmouth Carnival. JUNE MAILMAN was operating a travel and ski-resort agency in Canada. NATALIE ENGLANDER was busy as a glandular specialist; and she knew her lymph glands.

ANN CROCKER was sub-teacher of athletics at dear old N.S.F.G. DOROTHY DUTCHER was running a health clinic; her favorite slogan was "Never be hungry—eat hearty." NANCY WHITE was being house-mother at some boys' school down in Connecticut. CAROLINE SHORT and MARY ELIZABETH BOWMAN were at a meeting of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. Shorty was heard leading them in a super rendition of "St. Louis Blues." MARY MARGARET CHAPA was head of a Good Neighbor Policy conference in Mexico City. (A gala time was had by all.) MARY MAR PURCELL and ALICIA EGGER were busy arranging rubber transactions with Pete to stock up their balloon factory. SYLVIA CONANT was lolling on a beach in Florida, looking bronzed and oh so fit! EILEEN SULLIVAN was dashing off tomorrow's Who's Whose column for the Times. And Sull sure knows her stuff! FRANNY O'SHEA was having her picture taken for Life. She is a worthy successor to Joan Blondell as the ideal wife."
