Evening Incident, Patty Lewis
Evening Incident, Patty Lewis
Manuscripts
SHE SAT ON the steps, idly digging her feet into the 10 in front of her. She watched with satisfaction as the ground brown of her shoes became streaked and dusty from the glossy earth sifting over them, She wondered whether anyone Sandy reprimand her. Her dress was wilted and a little damp from the summer heat.

About "An Apology For Idlers", Barbara J. Fisher

I am in complete argument with Robert Louis Stevenson in his essay An Apology for Idlers. However, I cannot help wishing he were here today, so that he could tell me how to accomplish the nearly insurmountable task of being a successful idler...
A Characterization Of Amarantha, Robert Malsberry
A Characterization Of Amarantha, Robert Malsberry
Manuscripts
Any attempt to characterize the heroine, Arnarantha, must first reveal her environment. One of the most backward sections in North Carolina is the setting, and the reader is made vividly aware of this' typical "Tobacco Road" backdrop. Amarantha is a farm girl-used to farm life and used to handling animals. The simplification of her name to the harsh and ugly "Mare" fully illustrates the crudeness and coarseness she is exposed to from birth. The author emphasizes Amarantha's faulty speech traits, but the reader feels no contempt for her-s-only pity for her lack of a normal educational background. Along with the …
Idler Meets Mr. Machine-Man, Paul Ross
Idler Meets Mr. Machine-Man, Paul Ross
Manuscripts
IDLER PAUSED to brush the beads of sweat, worry, from his forehead. He watched as the droplets fell to the dusty road of Life, landing in the footprint of the traveler several yards ahead of him. He studied the footprints, concluding that they were made by a person in great haste. This realization caused a cloud of gloom to pass over Idler's face, for he hated to see anyone in such a predicament. No person in this world can be enjoying himself when he has imbibed that destructive potion, Hurry, as this poor soul has evidently done, he decided...

Why You Should Have A Dictionary, Richard Orman
Why You Should Have A Dictionary, Richard Orman
Manuscripts
Think, if you will, what talent might have been given to the world if little Johnnie had had a large unabridged dictionary. With such an aid he might have been able to reach the piano keys. But no, his family had no such helpful device. Alas, he had no way to reach those beautifully noisy keys, and instead of becoming a great, although underpaid, musician, he had to lay bricks and amass great wealth in later life.
The Meaning Of Democracy, Shirley Stillwell
The Meaning Of Democracy, Shirley Stillwell
Manuscripts
...In Gracie's vivid imagination, her chance to enjoy Iife's most exciting luxuries will come only if Herman is made of more than common clay. If he can provide the best, she can make the most of it; if not, her lot will be none the worse. A girl can dream and sometimes, it does no harm for her to do a little dreaming for her boy friend.

MANY'S THE DAY I have toted peppermint patties to a hostess, but this is the first time I have come bearing a brickbat. Before proceeding to bash the hand that feeds me, let me say hurriedly that if any hostesses, after reading this, want to come to my glass house, they are cordially invited and may bring their own stones. Without further dodging, I shall get on with this bread-and-brickbat affair...
What Is Wrong With Our Movies?, Lois M. Peeler
What Is Wrong With Our Movies?, Lois M. Peeler
Manuscripts
ANYONE WHO has been unfortunate enough to venture into one of our glacier-cooled motion picture houses recently has no doubt been forced to the conclusion that our "movies" have not only hit rock bottom, but that they are attempting to burrow through it. The average person, sick unto death of psychiatrist's couches, mother fixations, and planned crimes, may take one of two paths: He may give up movies altogether, or he may turn to foreign pictures and thereby find a rewarding experience free from Betty Grable's legs and Alan Ladd's torso. What is wrong with the American movies? Predominantly three …
Adventure On Sunday, Roger Mays
Adventure On Sunday, Roger Mays
Manuscripts
ANYONE OF COLLEGE age should be able to write a lengthy essay on irrational behavior, The period of attendance in high school seems to be the most irrational period of life. This is a time when we substitute impulsive behavior for rational action. Adults try to help us reason things out, but we do not like to be reasonable because it spoils our fun and excitement. From this period of adjustment in my life one irrational experience stands uppermost in my mind...
Courtesy, Sam Kouchis
Courtesy, Sam Kouchis
Manuscripts
l[lV.'\LHY! vVhat's that? It originally had something to do ~ith horses. The knights of old started it. It also has something to do with courtesy and politeness. Maybe the knights were polite to their horses. It's the only conclusion I can come to. Anyway, chivalry seems to have disappeared. If you are doubtful of what I say, stand by the main doors of the school some morning. A girl opens the door to the building, and, before she knows it, a half dozen boys push their way into the building while she stands holding the door. If a boy accidentally …
Impressions Of Keats, Jack Albertson
Impressions Of Keats, Jack Albertson
Manuscripts
...However, I think Keats did find happiness. He found it in his search for beauty. He found it by reaching and climbing to heights unknown to other men. He lived in a dreamer's world, and in that world he found happiness and beauty.
Realizing The Meaning Of Integrity, Francis H. Balcom
Realizing The Meaning Of Integrity, Francis H. Balcom
Manuscripts
THE WORD INTEGRITY had no definite meaning to me until I read the essay, "The Luxury of Integrity," by Stuart Chase. Moral soundness, honesty, and uprightness were given as definitions in the dictionary. Only through my experiences can I appreciate these meanings. I was reared in a happy home even though it was not blessed with great material wealth. From the first days I can remember, truthfulness and honesty were bywords in my home. The rural area in which I lived provided a never-ending list of chores. T was taught how to do the work required, and, from that time …
The Importance Of Words, Barbara Dunham
The Importance Of Words, Barbara Dunham
Manuscripts
ONE OF THE most powerful forces at work in the world today is the ability to speak fluently. So important are words that many scientists believe that language ability is the missing link between man and the ape. So important are words that hundreds of people devote their lives to the study of etymology and to the compilation of more complete and correct dictionaries, and thousands more continually strive to increase and excel in word power. With words alone, one can hurt deeply or heal gently; one can exalt or degrade; one can lead or be led. Used in the …

WELL, SIR, THIS Mrs. Webb is the understandenest woman I ever run across. They ain't none other like her in my territory. It would sure make things easier if they was. The way things are now, it's gettin' so I just can't quite stomach this mail carryin' business. 'Specially since the war sneaked up on us. Seems like everybody is lookin' for a letter from everybody else. Mothers lookin' for letters from their boys, grandmas from the grandsons they used to bounce on their knee, daughters from their sweethearts, and the brothers and dads are in there too, but they …

"Shush,"-The New Password, Kenneth Hopkins
Manuscripts
ESTIMATES OF THE intelligence of the average American ral~ge from very low to a little higher than very low, depending upon the amount of cynicism or the rosiness of the rose-colored glasses of the person computing the averages. These surveys may be well founded or they may be final semester theses knocked out by advanced students in pursuit of masters' degrees in psychology. In either case, and in direct and naive opposition to these averages, I am sometimes quite well impressed that the average American is rather intelligent and strives to keep himself well in formed...
Pink Frosting, Sharon Collins
Pink Frosting, Sharon Collins
Manuscripts
THE YEAR WAS 1944, and the world was at war with Germany and Japan. People read the headlines and front pages of a newspaper instead of turning to the society and sports pages. War Bonds were plentiful, nylons were not, and new words had found their way into the American language. There were ration books and a shortage of materials of all kinds. However, one Madame Gabrielle, a clever French milliner, continued to find enough material, flowers, and feathers to create her original hats in her small salon on 5th Avenue.
