| THE
PLAID
This
year Glenridge's
literary magazine
- THE PLAID
- has a new
name and a much
wider scope.
It will include
every type of
original creative
writing. Under
prose may be
included short
stories, essays,
biography, character
sketch and local
color sketch.
All forms of
poetry are eligible;
free verse,
ballads, limericks,
and lyric verse.
Under the heading
of drama, plays
both comic and
tragic are needed.
The
art of communicating,
of expressing
in vivid and
interesting
form what we
think and feel,
is a skill worth
achieving; a
valuable asset
all through
life. No matter
what career
we may choose,
our satisfaction
and success
in this field
will always
be greatly increased
if we are able
to express ourselves
fluently.
The
Plaid offers
all of us an
opportunity
to compete in
a literary contest.
This is a challenge
to each one
of us to accept. |

However, Moscow

seen.

A
TEST OF LOGIC
There
were two tribes
of natives living
in Africa; one
having red feet,
the other tribe
having blue. The
natives with red
feet were perpetual
liars, quite incapable
of telling the
truth. The natives
with the blue
feet were incapable
of telling a lie.
One
day a missionary
met three natives
walking down the
road. They were
all wearing shoes.
The missionary
asked the first
native the color
of his feet. The
native mumbled
his answer so
the missionary
could not understand
him. The missionary
asked the second
native what the
first had said.
"He
said he had blue
feet," said
the second native.
"No",
said the third
native. "He
said his feet
were red."
What
color were the
third native's
feet? |
