April 26, 1965 High Life Page Three The Flight of Stairs BY LINDSEY JONES There stood a young man, in telligent and curious, peering into an open doorway. Inside the door was a long flight of stairs tower ing high, and then turning into another segment of stairs. He started to climb. He kept climb ing, one flight after another, and another, and another. Steadily upward, he climbed. Flight after flight, after flight. Time went by. He climbed still. Weariness had begun to overcome him—still he climbed, determined. He rested a minute in-between flights. Two people passed him, coming down the steps—not looking, not speak ing. There was a remote expres sion on their faces. He started his journey once again. Looking up ward. Step by step. Must reach the top. A beautiful young girl passed him. Tears streaked her cheeks. She looked as if she had failed a test, long studied for. She didn’t speak—just passed by. What could || it be? The young man trudged on —climbing the seemingly never ending staircase. Determination pulled onward. Another figure passed him. This time an ex perienced-looking man. Some thing about him was different. He ^ gave an ironic laugh and greeted the young man, and passed by. Upward. Upward. The top! He must be reaching the platforms between the infinite flights of || stairs. He had reached the top! || He stood breathless on the plat- || form and gazed unbelievingly || around. He looked off the side, and down. Down into the depths || of where he had begun, and saw ^ the first step. He was alone. He M had reached the top! There was 0 darkness around him and the same scene of his whole journey up ward. Standing on a platform, in ^ the middle of nowhere, but on 0 the top. He had accomplished 0 .... what? % Desperately Needed Immediately Photographer For Remainder Of Year Evasion mQt Such an Unusual Town “I say, Tom, wouldn’t it ap pear that a nasty old cop is fol lowing us.” “T’would indeed. Yes, I most definitely would say that a cop is following us, shame forever rest upon his brow.” “Can you imagine anyone hav ing the slightest suspicion of two fine lads like ourselves?” “Well, Billy boy, I do believe it is time to give him the brush- off. Not that I have anything against him personally, you under stand; it’s just that his bubble gum machine makes me nervous and that blip-blip radar irritates “Being as how the law is with us, since we’re only doing thirty- five, let’s have some fun.” “Fire away.” “Well, you drop to twenty-five and I’ll pull ahead. We’ll sorta split his interests. If he passes you, go hide, and I’ll stop and bore him. If he doesn’t pass you, I’ll hide, and you bore him by adjusting some obscure part of your motor.” “Rather clever, but what next?” “After he abandons the idea of this needless persecution. I’ll meet you at the Castle in fifteen min utes.” “A capital plan, but I’m afraid I have some bad news for you.” “Prithee, do enlighten me, Thomas.” “Yon cop found us dull com pany and poor revenue and has disappeared already.” “The kill-joy. Denying us such capital sport.” Back to class? Go with class! GO HONDA! Just the ticket for campus traffic, crowded parking lots or just plain fun. And, instead of walking her to class, you can ride her to class! Hondas are more fun than a barrel of coeds. • See all the Honda models (there's one just right for you) at HONDA GREENSBORO 405 WALKER AVENUE Telephone 272-2661 “You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda’’ BY LINDSEY JONES Once there was a town, not such an unusual town. It was deep in the woods, yet was still no ticed by everyone. In this town, there were many houses, and everyone had a cat, or a dog, and people. There were houses of red, orange, green, blue, yellow; but never white. Not one house was white. The floor plans of the houses were the same, but they were all different. Different colors. There were dogs and cats, but no chickens or roosters. All the dogs chased the cats, and all the cats climbed trees. The dogs and cats were different. They had different colored collars. Then there were the people. The people were like the houses, cats and dogs. The clothes, toys, cars, etc.—were the same, but different colors. They all belonged to clubs. They all belonged to a society. They all belonged to a church and a school, or had a job, but they were different. Their hair and skin were differ ent colors, but their clothes were the same. Everyone walked down the street in a single file, one following the other. Except the dogs—they chased the cats. Then a new person moved into town. She painted her house white! She wore different clothes! Didn’t have a cat! Didn’t have a car or a dog! Refused to belong to a club! Didn’t go to church! The town was in a turmoil. What a disgrace to society! All had finally quieted down within a week. All the houses were white;' all the clothes a dif ferent style; no one owned a cat or a dog; no one belonged to a club; no one owned a car; but everyone still walked in a single file.

A slick and slimy slug climbed over a stone. The acrid factory smoke blew down from the hill. The slug’s smooth skin was cov ered up with salt That made it writher in pain, curl up and die. Still the smoke fell heavy on the town. A child’s scream pierced the thickening city air, And then the child was no more with the earth. A tree dropped leaves and shriv ed up and died. A bird smashed into a window- pane Still the smoke well heavy on the town. An now came many cries and frantic feet Were running, never walking, fearing death. Then all was silent, all the people gone, And all the trees and slugs and even the factory. But now the smoke rose thick and heavy Over the town.
