Birth, John E. Joyce
Birth, John E. Joyce
Manuscripts
In James T. Farrell's memorable novel, A World I Never Made, there is a scene in which Jim O'Neill's wife tells him that she is pregnant. They already have five children and are so poor that they have been forced to ask a relative to raise one of the boys. Jim realizes that this new child will probably know nothing save the misery of poverty and yet he cannot help but feel a certain pride in the fact that he is to be a parent once more. This is typical of fatherhood.
How I Learned To Ride A Horse, Lee M. Honts
How I Learned To Ride A Horse, Lee M. Honts
Manuscripts
My first day in the corral at Ft. Riley, Kansas, "World's Largest Cavalry Post," was one filled with apprehension and dread. Learning to ride a horse was the objective of each rookie in the troop that day. The animal I was assigned to ride appeared like an elephant in size, with a reverse hump in his back. But that, the drill sergeant informed me, was the saddle!
Home Again, Joseph Zimmer
Maggie And Jiggs, Marilyn Mitchell
Maggie And Jiggs, Marilyn Mitchell
Manuscripts
Every daily and weekly newspaper has a section devoted to "comic strip operas." Some people are extremely attached to certain comic strip characters ..They refuse to buy a newspaper which omits a blow by blow description of the daily lives of their particular favorites. Of all the famous comic strip characters now living on inside pages of our great newspapers, two of the best-known and best-loved are Jiggs and his nagging, fault-finding wife, Maggie.
Buddy, A. T. Blocker
Buddy, A. T. Blocker
Manuscripts
My most unforgetable character is a Polish forced laborer that my platoon picked up near Leipzig, Germany. I was not long in finding out that we had quite a character on our hands.
First of all, I had better tell you how we acquired "Buddy," as our friend came to be known. Who gave him the name, I don't know, but he seemed to respond to it so well, we let it stick.
A Trap, C. W. Bockstahler
A Trap, C. W. Bockstahler
Manuscripts
Just after I was discharged from the Army, my parents and other people often asked me what I disliked most about the Army. Was it the regimentation, the food, the officers, - what was my pet peeve? My reply has been very consistent: the pockets on Army fatigue pants.
Are We Worthy Leaders?, William T. Sharp
Are We Worthy Leaders?, William T. Sharp
Manuscripts
Today as never before America stands as the champion of democracy. Again we have successfully defended our democratic ideals against the forces of oppression. Not only have we protected them for ourselves, but it is now our aim to spread this freedom to the less fortunate people of the world who have never enjoyed it before. Our ancestors drenched this land of ours with their own blood in order that we might be a free nation. Now it is our noble purpose to make this freedom universal.
Before we set ourselves up as an example, let us look over our …
My Most Enlightening Teacher, R. W. Conerty
My Most Enlightening Teacher, R. W. Conerty
Manuscripts
My profound apologies go to all my academic teachers of the past, because of all the men and women who have earnestly endeavored to help enrich my meagre store of knowledge, none could I classify as enlightening as when I first went away from home and met the wisest teacher of all I'd met, namely, life.
Annie, Elsie Stefan
Annie, Elsie Stefan
Manuscripts
"Ya'd goods on the fo'th floor please. 'ello? No, I'm sorry, we 'aven't any gingham today." On learning that L. S. Ayres' has no gingham, you put the receiver down, but your curiousity still is not quite satisfied. For that melodious, half exotic voice on the telephone leaves you wondering and puzzled as to its origin, and you resolve to satisfy your curiousity the next time you visit the yard goods department. There, answering the telephone and working in the inspection desk, you will find Annie Crich.
Reunion, Janice Skinner
Reunion, Janice Skinner
Manuscripts
It was a typical college reunion. The class of '31 was packed into alcoholic layers around the smoke crowned bar. The smell of good bourbon was filtered with laughter and blended with those odors women buy at from two to twenty dollars a dram. Typical.
Daisy Wings, James L. Adams
A Half-Spread Wing, Allyn Wood
A Half-Spread Wing, Allyn Wood
Manuscripts
Sunday. Breakfast and lunch eaten; a magazine read; the apartment tidied, as a man alone does it, with deliberate delicacy. There is something exotic in his movement, and about the room, which is produced by the placing of ordinary things; and everywhere is evidence of a long and careful striving for homeyness as a spiritual ideal. Where eyes have met the lonely space of walls, pictures hang - but do not look at them: he seldom does. Squares and rectangles become companionable, and being so familiar, are scarcely seen, their purpose forgotten. So that when he desires space, with an …
Truth And Dare, Barbara Gene Lucas
Truth And Dare, Barbara Gene Lucas
Manuscripts
The June sun beat steadily down upon the gravel school yard as the children ran out to play for the last time before vacation. The little girls with their hair flying dashed helter-skelter over the playground, and the boys brought out their baseballs. On one side of the yard in the shade of the library building stood a row of ten-year-old girls. They were members of "The Gang," an elite club composed of Republicans only and those who could stand to have their thumb bent backwards without flinching. In front of this rank stood the leader with her hands on …
The Spoon, Mary Alice Kessler
The Spoon, Mary Alice Kessler
Manuscripts
Mary closed the big wooden door carefully and waited for the click that locked it. She walked slowly across the gravel schoolyard, kicking the largest rocks with her foot. She counted each step ... one ... two ... three ... four. On fifty, she climbed over the low iron fence surrounding the yard and stood quietly as if she were listening for something.
The Woman And The Working Girl, Jean Farson
The Woman And The Working Girl, Jean Farson
Manuscripts
Brynn hurried along the sidewalk. She could hardly see through the slippery, foggy shadowy her way air that enveloped East Barnes Street. A fine rain still came down in a slow monotone, and nothing in the city of Wellington seemed to be dry at all. Brynn cast a glance at her watch, and quickened her steps, her green transparent raincoat crackling, as she hurried to catch the eleven o'clock bus. Mr. Dwyer shouldn't have kept her working so late on a night like this--
Sea Song, Jan Skinner
Sea Song, Jan Skinner
Manuscripts
The boy should have been hurrying home from school. The sky was dark with that peculiar greyness that foretells a storm, but the boy, tall and lank, was ambling along the sidewalk, looking up at the moody skies eagerly, expectantly, as if he was about to see a friend.
Rhyme For A Volume Of W. H. Hudson, Allyn Wood
Pastorale, Mary Alice Kessler
Pastorale, Mary Alice Kessler
Manuscripts
CHORUS:
We chant of an age
A trim, nervous
Time Squared into precise line,
Sheer mathematics, a flawless steel claw.
This is the time of soaring monuments
This is the time of formulae pyramids
This is the time of shining mechanism
This age is dwarfing its sire.

The Village Store, Bill Osborn
The Village Store, Bill Osborn
Manuscripts
I sometimes wonder if my great-grandfather would recognize our village store. To be sure, the size and general shape of today's shop would differ little from the one he knew, but might he not be surprised to see the fire-engine red of the Coca-Cola signs plastered abundantly over the dark brown clapboards?
Grandmother Looks On, Rosemary Ronsheim
Grandmother Looks On, Rosemary Ronsheim
Manuscripts
Pretend for a little while that you are seventy or eighty years old. Put yourself in the position of your grandmother who has come to live with you since grandfather died. It is seven-thirty in the morning and you are sitting in the living room. You have probably received a brief "good morning" when you stepped into the kitchen and may have been brushed aside as someone leaped to save the burning toast. You very sensibly have announced, "I'll go away until the children are off to school."
Teeth Tales, Virginia Rodman
Teeth Tales, Virginia Rodman
Manuscripts
False teeth and the fashion of filling teeth were known even by the ancient Egyptians, but the science of dentistry is a fairly recent one. Just as far back as colonial days when life was centered in New England, the care of teeth was very crude as compared to modern methods.
My Father, Kathryn Alfs
My Father, Kathryn Alfs
Manuscripts
My father is five feet eleven inches tall. He has large grey-green eyes, a somewhat too-large nose, a medium sized mouth, and a very square jaw. His physique is typically middle-aged. After being teased to destraction about being built like a butter-churn, he now wears. a corset with the fond delusion that it pushes his stomach into his chest and looks youthful. Aloud he swears it is for his posture. He now resembles a top-heavy butter-churn.
Gentlemen, Be Seated, William Miller
Gentlemen, Be Seated, William Miller
Manuscripts
I'm a little devil. Every morning I walk a block to the bus stop preceding the one in front of my house so that I can get a seat. I feel sure my neighbors give me icy stares as I sit comfortably with my nose in a book. I never see them. Yesterday morning I was too late to walk -to the other stop, so I stood while the lady next door sat in my seat and smiled at me with sarcastic little daggers throughout the fifteen-minute ride. She probably thinks I have no conscience, but I do and I …
The Incident Of The Apple, Jeanne Mccoy
The Incident Of The Apple, Jeanne Mccoy
Manuscripts
For the last five years, Pa had babied and coaxed this pet tree of his. It was healthy and well-developed, but never before had there even been the slightest excuse of an apple.
Kelly's "Rock Of Gibralter", Barbara Barth
Kelly's "Rock Of Gibralter", Barbara Barth
Manuscripts
"Kelly, Kentucky! Stop here three minutes. Next stop Hopkinsville." A town like a million others. Hay, feed and grain shed and a dinky little station. A small boy, whose pants were patched with flesh, and a dog mooching on the platform. Everyone on the day coach gives Kelly one look and one sigh and pulls in his neck. Just another three-minute stop.
The Blades That Severed Two Lives, William Hardman
The Blades That Severed Two Lives, William Hardman
Manuscripts
The snow was still falling as it had done during the past three days. The wind was gaining momentum as the flakes glistened in the light of the shell-bursts. This was a new obstacle for the men who had fought through the rain and mire of France and Belgium. Although the defensive position was just inside the land boundary of Germany, the climate had not changed with the borderline. Winter had set in.
Sleigh Bells Ring, Joanna Jennings
Sleigh Bells Ring, Joanna Jennings
Manuscripts
"Jimmy! Jimmy! Come quick! It's snowing again." Immediately two freckled noses were pressed into mere buttons at the window, as two pairs of eyes gazed rapturously at the whitening world.
