Red and Black Aids Art;
Student Receives Honor
An article published in The Red and Black Fall quarter concerning
competition to be held by the American College Poetry Society eaught
the attention of Mrs. Virginia Varney Wilder a spare-time poetess
doing graduate work in education here at the University.
Having written and published
poems previously, she decided to
enter the contest.
The rules said that
only six poems
could be submit
ted, so Mrs. Wilder
chose five of her
best works and en
tered them along
with a new poem
she had been
meaning to- write
for years.
While living In Chicago, Mrs. Wil
der had noticed many times a “little
old lady who sold flowers for a
living," and it was with her in mind
that this award winning poem was
written.
the violet vendor
That day, I see it now, ’twas
Spring,
Ice on the cobbles close did cling;
Warm was the air, yet an icy chill
Blew sharp from yonder northern
hill.
A tiny shawl-wrapped figure sat,
White hair uncovered, and in her hat,
Violets for sale to passers by.
Library Shows War Letter
Georgia’s original orders to parti
cipate in the civil war are being dis
played in the University library.
The orders are those of Georgia's
Gov. Brown to Col. A. R. Lawton,
who commanded the First Regiment
of the Georgia Volunteers at Savan
nah.
The letter was dated January 2
1861. ’
My step stopped before her, I knew
not why.
She looked at me tenderly, and I
swear
Her eyes were the purple of viole's
fair,
“If you are in love, then these
flowers are free.”
Before I knew they were given me.
Another day again she was there.
Frosty flowers in her hat, snow flakes
in her hair.
Slower my step, love now I did
fear.
Yet drawn was I toward her, more
to hear.
The violet eyes, with look intent,
Read my uncertain heart’s torment.
Slowly she whispered, like read
ing the past,
Flowers and love do not always
last”.

THE ENGINEERS HAVE HAIRY EARS
Today in this age of technology when engineering graduates
are wooed and courted by all of America’s great industries, how
do you account for the fact that Rimbaud Sigafoos, who fin
ished at the very top of his class at turned down hun
dreds of attractive job offers to accept employment as a machin
ery wiper at the Acme Ice Company at a salary of $20 a week
with a twelve-hour day, a seven-day week, and only fifteen
minutes for lunch?
I know what you are thinking: "Cherrhct la femme!" You are
thinking that Mr. Acme, head of the Acme Ice Company, has
a beautiful daughter with whom Rimbaud is madly in love and
he took the job only to be near her.
Fiends, you are wrong. It is true that Mr. Acme does have
a daughter, a large, torpid lags named Clavdia who spends all
her waking hours scooping marzipan out of a bucket and staring
at a television set which has not worked in some years. Rimbaud
has not the slightest interest in Clavdia; nor, indeed, docs any
other man, excepting possibly John Ringling North.
So how come Rimbaud keeps working for the Acme Ice
Company? Can it he that they provide him with free Marlboro
Cigarettes, and all day long he is able to settle bark, make
himself comfortable and enjoy the filter cigarette with the un-
filtcrcd taste?
forte, fotpfo fort cfatfis
No, friends, no. Rimbaud is not nllowed to smoke on the job
and when he finishes his long, miserable day he has to buy his
own Marllwros, even as you und I, in order to settle back and
enjoy that choice tobacco, that smooth, mellow flavor, that in
comparable filter, that pack or box.
Well, friends, you might as well give up because you’ll never
in a million years guess why Rimbaud works for the Acme Ice
Company. The reason is simply this: Rimbaud is a seal!
He started as a performing seal in vaudeville. One night on
the way to the Ed Sullivan show, he took the wrong subway.
All night the poor mammal rode the B.M.T., seeking a helping
hand. Finally a kindly brakeman named Ernest Thompson
Sigafooe rescued the hapless Rimbaud.
He took Rimbaud home and raised him as his own, and
Rimbaud, to show his appreciation, studied hard und got ex
cellent marks and finished a distinguished academic career as
valedictorian of M.I.T.
Rimbaud never complained to his kindly foster father, but
through all those years of grammar school and high school and
college, he dam near died of the heat! A seal, you must re
member, is by nature a denizen of the Arctic, so you can im
agine how poor Rimbaud must have suffered in subtropical
New York and Boston, especially in those tight Ivy League
suits.
But today at the Acme Ice Company, Rimbaud has finally
found a temperature to his liking. He is very happy and sends
greetings to bis many friends.
