Alkna Erby, ’33
Words, titles, places, things always have
a commonplace meaning. There is something
suggested to one immediately on hearing
certain names called. If we observe more
closely, or study the word or thing, we oft-
times find a use and interpretation which is
quite different from the one which we once
considered merely commonplace.
To the school girl, shoie case means lots
of pretty clothes on display—to mothers it
means, Peggie wants the new dress she saw
down town in the show case—to father it
means he will receive a bill from the depart
ment store for the dress Peggie saw in the
show case.
In the corridor of the Atlanta University
Library there ai'e four display cases. They
suggest to one at first sight a collection of
some old books, some carvings, probably
wrought by our primitive ancestors. One is
an attractive painting to which the casual
observer might give the second look. On
examining these things more closely one
finds there: art, literature, history—a collec
tion of tid bits of culture from many races.
If you look and reflect, you will find evi
dences of progress, of the rising and falling
of races, and their religions; the persecution
and struggle of a civilization, lying there
in inanimate substance.
The carvings came from the people of
Africa, by whom civilization was nurtured
in its infancy. Africa has in her un
written annals many a motherly secret of
the growth and development of man that
modern civilization would like to unravel.
The art carvings were wrought by those
ebony sons of dust who inhabit that ancient
land. These carvings are both statuesque
and picturesque. They are picturesque be
cause they are the likeness of some char
acter. They are statuesque because they are
wrought as semblances of a God, Oshaku
the sun god of the Congo. Along with open
anthologies are anklet-bands and other orna
ments. The precious manuscripts of Clark
son, written on Abolition, are there, also a
picture of Clarkson in a bust silhouette. All
of these are found in the show cases. What
a rare collection!
Bernard Shaw, the famous Irish wit,
talked about the Americans when lie paid
them a visit this year. It is a consolation
to know that we have something on dis
play besides fine clothes.
This number of the Cam m s Mirror is dis
playing the Seniors of 193.3, plus a few
other things about the school. We are hoping
the world will be as pleased with their dis
play in the magnanimous educational show
case as the Campi's Mirror staff ha- been
in showing the reflection of their ideas in
the Cam its Mirror.
Nellie: “11 ow do you like my room as a
whole ?'*
Jane: "As a hole, fine as a room not -o
good."
