Frances Lewis hasn’t cherished the
character of Marion enough, The
transition from the outraged, day-

dreaming adolescent to her brittle
counterpart was made too quickly.
This, however, is not a usual re-
mark to make of Miss Lewis’s
work.

Peggy Squibb’s writing in
Everything Works Out 0. K.
reminds me somewhat of her act-
ing: it is slow, disconnected, at
times’ riot rhythmical as to lines
and movement, and then she comes
to, quite suddenly, with excellent
clowning and a-snapper at the end.

Write, Damn You (a touching
professorial urge) by Virginia
Nichols gave me a slant I have
long wanted on the Hudson Shore
School. The political fence on
which these students choose to sit
and think is not of too great im-
portance; politics is so. variable.
What they think when it is not of
politics has a very real interest
also, as Miss Nichols shows. Miss
Nichols prefers the verse of Lena,
and I agree as to its outstanding
poetic quality; but I found “Let
me be to myself awhile” by Dolly,
the laundry worker, moving and
old and wise even beyond Dolly’s
years maybe. Mr. Beecher cer-
tainly got results!

Well, it might be worth trying—
that diamond-in-the-rough peda-
gogy. On the other hand, one might
get Fantasia by Anon. Anon. And
then, what would one do? After

says, “No, sir, you never can tell.”

The poem by H. Corner and O.
‘Leary, in its humorous condensa-
tion and adroit thrusts, is the kind
of satire that leavens the loaf.
Birds East of the Rockies is fun-
nier than A. A. Milne’s prose
travesty on the same subject, The
Arrival of Blackman’s Warbler,
and the latter is very funny. With
encouragement, do you suppose
they would do another-on Flora

As for the “high seriousness” of

sympathy. The tentative, nostalgic
quality of the mood in Rebel of
Autumn by Miss Kent holds the at-
tention there, and especially is
diction apt and harmonious.

I have a notion I should like to
sit by and kisten to Miss Counsel-
man talk about her verse. It isn’t
that her verse is too private to be
understood when printed in public,
but I seem to@find myself suddenly
in the dark afid searching for the
theme. The long, rhythmical sweep
of the lines carry the reader along
in Poem for an Artist at War and
something of the same applies to
For Those Unborn whose music is
inescapable. It can’t be Miss Coun-
selman; it must be me. Haniel

on an ascending ladder which cul-
minated in our western civilization.
The savage lived in “the pit out
of which we have been dug.” A
theory opposed to this was devel-
oped, which claimed that the very
simplest savages with their mo-
notheism and monogamy foreshad-
owed our culture.

There were sceptical anthropol-

theories, examining not degrees
of culture but the geographical dis-
tribution of traits of culture. In
contrast with the “hermetically
sealed” evolution, their theory of
Diffusion stated that inventions and
customs - were transmitted from
tribe to tribe. In examining the
spread of these traits an intimate
study of cultures was necessary,
and here began the modern ap-
proach to anthropology. For mod-
ern an nthropologists base most of
their conclusions on the relation of

symptoms of adolescence, for in-

istance, are not universal but are

found to depend upon the position
of youth in the social order.

Many problems face the anthro-
pologist when he moves into a na-
tive village; language, marital re-
lationships, criteria of prestige are
only a few of the things to be learn-
ed. Above all, by listening to in-
dividual histories and by studying
the upbringing of children, he must
try to determine the interrelation
between men and their culture.



NON-RES DANCE, JITTER
TO BLARING ORCHESTRA
By Frances Lynd, ’43
On Saturday night, the Non-
residents held their annual dance
in the Cotnmon Room from nine
to one. Acting as-chaperones were
Miss Hawks, Mr. and Mrs. Dry-
den, and Mr. and Mrs. Patterson.
The music was excellent, and
even inspired one couple to burst
out in some spontaneous - jitter-
bugging, just to prove their rugged

individualism.

On January 12, with the German
invasion of Belgium, the divisions

Belgium, in complete disorganiza-
tion. They were recalled and the
necessity for- efficient offensive ac-
tion became apparent.’ Defense
work dangled and field training be-
gan.

On May 9, M. Guiton’s division
was behind the lines. Once they
had been ordered to Norway, and
once to the Maginot Line, only to
be returned. Then, after an omin-
ous night, the recall to the front.
brought joy and exultation. The
division entered Belgium on May
15, as the second eschelon support-
ing the front line. In Belgium, col-
umns of silent refugees blocked the
roads, like muted holiday proces-
sions of cars and bicycles, but “no
one would look at us. It was still
not war.”

The division took up a position
west of Brussels. German planes
came incessantly; but between May
15 and 31 only one British plane
was seen. The Germans thrust
through between the British and
French, and the ‘withdrawal’ of the
divisions began, the “merry-go-
round” in which the armies circled
endlessly, “like flies in a bottle.”
M. Guiton’s division came down to
Vimy Ridge from the north. The
Brtiish held Arras, but the gap
between could not be closed.

The armies moved north then, to
Ypres and Lille. The British had
