[22 OUs :cE R March 24, 1950 Black Sea There was a small, very old ceme tery not too far from our house ill Turkey. George and I had dis covered the graves on one of our adventuring trips. A narrow dirt road led to the hillside over which (he cemetery had grown. The peo- iile of the town had long ago for gotten its existence. The tomb stones were broken and often half hidden behind mounds of earth. The old Arabic inscriptions had faded. It was impossible to tell a here one grave ended and another began. Thick bushes and weeds grew everywhere; wild roses cov ered the wide trunks of the twisted trees. Green creepers trailed along the ground and purple iris stood alone. Sometimes we found laven der anemones between the cracked stones. Our family of four went there itften. Sometimes we discussed problems ; sometimes we day dreamed; sometimes we just walk ed and ended up at the cemetery. •'It looks like a jungle that doesn’t have any scary things in it,” Geo rge said. He was only six in 1938. !t was in the fall of that year, v.hen I was thirteen that Mama’s sister came from Germany to visit. Hellen lived in Germany with her husband Max and her baby Jane. .Mama hadn’t seen Hellen in four years. I v,-anted to see her too. "You’re just like Hellen,” Mama was always saying to me. When ever Mama caught me reading while I was supposed to be helping with the beds; whenever I was absent-minded ; whenever I lost my temper; whenever I did well in my lessons—“I wish you had more of Hellen’s good qualities.” Hellen came, and she looked as inuch like the Duchess of Windsor as Mama said she wmuld. She was tall and stood very straight. Her black hair was parted in the mid dle. I decided the way that Hellen moved was what Mama meant when she said, “Oh, Ann. Can’t you try to be a little graceful?” Hellen laughed and told us funny stories about times like when she lost her suitcase on the way to Berlin. She teased Mama and Daddy. She didn’t say to George and me, “You’re too young to read that.” or “Why don’t you go out side and play?” “Don’t bother me now.’ I decided to show her the cemetery. The two of us went walking one afternoon after tea. I remember turning off the cobbled street and going up the dirt road. Hellen looked at the cemetery. “It looks free,” she said. We went further up the hi.II Finally, I turned anti sat down. The whole towm stretched toward the sea in front of me. It was dusk and the deep blue water of the Black Sea was darker than usual. The violent color of the brick houses were now a deep warm red. The brown leaves on the ground weren’t shiny any more. ‘T miss the sea in Dresden, Hellen said. “I wish Max were here with me. There is a sort of quiet here that reminds me of a place we used to go in Smyrna before we were married—He used to sing then—We met at a con cert in Istanbul. I remember they played “Le Catliedrale Englouti”. It’s very beautiful. There is a story behind the music of an old cath edral that is on the island. As the years pass, the island is submerged and the cathedral begins to go (Continued on page seven) H Joyce Whitehurst and Jane Fearing are all ready for spring. What young man’s fancy woiddn’t lightly turn to thoughts of love at the sight of these two in their Easter best? Salem, Sosniks Represented At Fashion Show Held In Day Student Center by Carolyn Dunn In order that Salem girls remain well-informed on what is new in the fashion world, the I. R. S. sponsored a fashion show Wednes day night in the Day Students fCeiUer, Sosnik-Thalheimers’ dis played selections from their latest shipment of spring outfits, beach wear, bridal trousseau, sports cloth es, and cruise line for those travel- \vise girls.

Anne Carrington and Laura Harvey opened the show with just the thing for your sports wardrobe! Both outfits were of washable white stag denim. Anne’s combination of halter, pedal itushers, and jacket was on blue, and Laura’s shorts outfit, with ctip to match, was in coral.
