Panorama, Betty Ann Mills
Panorama, Betty Ann Mills
Manuscripts
The sights we saw ranged from vast stretches of beautifully colored deserts to lofty mountain peaks...
Return To Shangri La, Norma Messmer
Return To Shangri La, Norma Messmer
Manuscripts
My hand groped over the weather beaten pine door for the rusty lock which would unfold our "Shangri La." Meeting no resistence from the tiny device, I proceeded blindly to feel for the light switch which would show the way for the rest of our crew. As my searching hand passed over fuses, wires, switches, and knobs, I was conscious of the "special" cabin aroma, a composition of ant' killer, mouse poison, ashes from last and the "springy" exhilarating Lake week's wiener roast, scent of the fresh, Hollybrook air.
A Strange Stable, Donita M. Evans
A Strange Stable, Donita M. Evans
Manuscripts
One day while walking in Washington, D. C., at a particularly busy time of day, I turned into what I thought was an alley leading to another street. As I wandered back through the alley, I suddenly noticed that I was in a courtyard. It was a beautiful place with houses looking from two sides into the cobblestone court. There was an enormous tree growing in one corner of the yard with a circular bench built around its base. As I investigated the yard further, I found that the building directly in front of me was a stable. Discovering that …
A Winter Paradox, Betty Ferguson
A Winter Paradox, Betty Ferguson
Manuscripts
A blinding snowstorm was sweeping through the night, covering the dark and dreary countryside with a soft, clean blanket of feathery white crystals. The icy flakes drove earthward with an uncontrollable centripetal force...
Basement Room, William Tobin
Basement Room, William Tobin
Manuscripts
The stairway that led to the basement room, where all the actors spent their free time, was always dark. The light that was supposed to illuminate the stairs had burned out long ago. A wooden hand railing ran along the wall and served as a guide and brace for anyone who felt his way down the eleven cement steps. Once down the steps, the basement hall seemed darker than the stairs, although I hardly think it possible. At the end of the hall, shining through the blackness, was the faint outline made by the light from within as it shone, …
Chicago's Street Of Streets, Barbara Consodine
Chicago's Street Of Streets, Barbara Consodine
Manuscripts
Michigan Avenue is a sophisticated young lady who strolls from Roosevelt Road up toward the Gold Coast with one shoulder lowered. Across this shoulder thee sees the green beauty of the park and the masts and sails of white yachts on the blue lake.
Mitosis (The Second Lesson In Botany), Alma Miller
They Will Do It Every Time, Donald Goben
They Will Do It Every Time, Donald Goben
Manuscripts
To relax in a large, comfortable chair and listen to soft music after a long day's work is my idea of heaven on earth. Each evening I arrive home tired, dirty, and rather ill-humored. After washing and cleaning up a little, I settle down in my easy chair and turn on the little push-button radio.
Many Are Called, Patricia Hanley
Many Are Called, Patricia Hanley
Manuscripts
Once upon a time there lived a wise king whose only family was his son. When this boy became of proper age to marry, the king thought for many hours upon the kind of wife he should pro cur for him. At last he called together all his most trusted knights and said to them, "I want you each to bring to me the most mannerly maiden you can find."

Manuscripts
Around the first quarter mark of the nineteenth century two writers struggled for existence and recognition.
Vermeer, Shirley Mcveigh
Vermeer, Shirley Mcveigh
Manuscripts
Have you ever heard of Vermeer? Probably not. Neither had I until two years ago this Christmas, when I received a book with that one name on the front. The book was then a gift, but it is now .a treasure; for within its covers are reproductions of forty-four of the finest paintings the world has ever seen, the paintings of a man named Vermeer.
The Engulfed Cathedral, Joanne Viellieu
The Engulfed Cathedral, Joanne Viellieu
Manuscripts
"The Engulfed Cathedral" is one of Claude Debussey's most beautiful works of impressionism. Inspired by an ancient Breton legend, it tells its story simply but with the most gorgeous effects.
Headless Horsemen, Doris Colligan
Headless Horsemen, Doris Colligan
Manuscripts
As I look around my room in this practical, unimaginative daylight, I can yet feel the terror and see the awful spirits which peopled it on moonlit nights long ago in my childhood imagination.
The moonlight, which must filter through the broad leaves of the sycamore outside my window and penetrate the draperies before it reached my bedroom, gave only a lukewarm illumination by the time it reached its destination, for each obstacle had captured a part of its strength.
The Circe, James Joyce
The Circe, James Joyce
Manuscripts
"The new girl"-a term catholic throughout all grammar schools -was quite pretty. Naturally, being twelve and susceptible, I promptly fell in love with her. 'It was my first affair.
...Grandma O' Mine, Doris Campbell
...Grandma O' Mine, Doris Campbell
Manuscripts
Tart as Vinegar, sweet as cider-that is Grandma. Despite having several Score blood relations, she includes everyone on the block in her list of "acquired" relations.
My Great-Grandmother..., Lilla Adams
My Great-Grandmother..., Lilla Adams
Manuscripts
A few years back if you could by chance have visited a certain little town in Texas and walked a mile north of the town, you might have heard the Sound of song coming across to you from what seemed to be the middle of a big wood.
From Dogfight To Teamwork, Donald White
From Dogfight To Teamwork, Donald White
Manuscripts
A squadron of Fokker D-7's is flying along over No-Man's Land; the pilots in their open cockpits are alert, scanning the skies for Allied planes. Suddenly they find them, roaring out of the clouds above. Each Spad picks out a Jerry, breaks formation, and goes after him. From then on it is each man for himself, shooting one plane down and going after another. The only chance for survival lies in out-maneuvering the enemy and letting him have it with the single .30 caliber machine gun. When one side has had enough, it runs for home. This is an aerial …
Aftermath, Joseph F. Workman
Aftermath, Joseph F. Workman
Manuscripts
Monday morning when I awoke to find my head still hurting from the blast I had received Sunday, I remembered all too clearly that the Captain had ordered me to go back to the harbor to find the Mass Kit I had dropped during the attack. . As I approached the landing I could hear soft, rhythmic thuds. Looking over to my left, I could see the reason for the noise. Hundreds of sailors with sad, drawn faces were slouching along, their side arms gone and their clothes oil-soaked and torn. The many small boats coming and going were not …
The Fallacy Of Isolationism, Dorothy Ziegler
The Fallacy Of Isolationism, Dorothy Ziegler
Manuscripts
Following the first world war, the majority of people in the United States became great believers in isolationism; that is, they wanted to avoid any foreign contacts other than those necessary to trade and certain business relationships. "Buy American" became the slogan; "self-sufficiency" was the goal. The American people were determined that their sons should not fight on foreign soil again. Today we are facing the result of our holding to the idea of isolationism.
"My Father's Business", Betty Jo Fark
"My Father's Business", Betty Jo Fark
Manuscripts
With an effort she pushed the iron over the last patch of wrinkled, white shirt, conscious of the stabbing pains in her back and shoulders. Force of habit made her gently slide the shirt off the end of the board and start to retouch the collar, pulling the collar after the iron to round it. She tilted the iron up on the board. It settled with a thud, and she rubbed her arm across her forehead, dotted with perspiration.
The Autumn Sun Slants Gently Down, Margaret Byram
The Autumn Sun Slants Gently Down, Margaret Byram
Manuscripts
Have I ever seen so beautiful a sight As Butler in the autumn of the year! Today The browns and reds and golds are shimmering in the warming sun, And the greens, resistant yet, wave their bright memories of spring ...
Each Man's Soul, Mary Alice Kessler
Each Man's Soul, Mary Alice Kessler
Manuscripts
The Thought
She sat on a big chair with her head thrown back on its cold, shiny leather paneling, her feet pulled up under her. A small arc of yellow light from the bridge lamp shut her off from the darkness of the room, and she turned her head as if to listen to the stillness. There was no sound-only a thick whir of silence. On her lap lay a crinkled piece of dirty paper with a handful of words hurriedly scribbled across it.
