MR. AND MRS. ARTHUR WEBSTER GET LETTERFROM SOLDIER SON IN GERMAN PRISON CAMP

NEW LATIN-AMERICAN ART EXHIBITION TO HELP"GOOD NEIGHBOR" POLICY AT MORSE GALLERY

After a long period of anxietyfor news of their son captured bythe Germans after a British air-raid, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Websterhave finally received a letter fromhim. The letter is written on acombination note-envelope marked"Kriegsgefangenenpost" (war-pris-oner-post), and bears his prisonnumber, 688. It was marked "Luft-poste" but the usual postal stampis too indistinct to decipher. Themessage was as follows:

"Dear Dad: Life has settled downa bit for me now. No war here.Dullness is our worst feature. Wearen't badly looked after. Four ofus live in a room, 2 N, Z. and 2 Can.We do our own cooking etc. andmanage not too badly. Was——-(deletion) playing bridge yes-terday. Had a game of footballthis morning. Was luckily undam-aged. 'Tis a rough game. Would

like text books for Electrical En-gineering complete. Consult "Fla.State". May do a bit of studyingif the war lasts long enough. Sendweekly food parcels—tinned meat,fruit, jam, chocolate, nuts, cheese,etc. Clothes needed too. Picturefor walls, needle, frying pan, boil-ing pot. Red Cross look after uspretty well so don't worry aboutme. Hope the war is not too longending. Cannot write very often,but you can. Keep Dorothy send-ing parcels and cigarettes. Hopeyou had good Christmas. Best loveto all. Try Marj for parcels. LoveDon."

Don Webster was a graduate ofWinter Park High School and alsoof the University of Toronto. Join-ing the air force in Canada he tookpart in a raid on Berlin and wasforced down and captured by theNazis.

Art is playing a new and import-ant role in the application of the"Good Neighbor" policy. Art needsno language to make itself under-stood, and we can learn more aboutour neighbors to the south of usby seeing their arts and crafts thanin any other way—except actualvisits.

Following the exhibition of CostaRiean art with which the MorseGallery was recently opened, willbe a new exhibition of Latin Ameri-can Art sponsored jointly by theHispanic Institute and the Art De-partment of Rollins College, open-ing on Monday, March 16th, with areception and showing. The exhi-bition will remain on view throughSaturday, March 28th.

SPRING ISSUE OFPOETRY MAGAZINE

Youngest oi. Winter Park's in-tellectual achievements, The Flor-ida Magazine of Verse is taking itsplace as one of the most worthy andinspiring. Its editor and publisher,Mr. Charles H. Pratt, has gener-ously provided in this publicationan attractive chapel where the songof poets may be heard and thestudy of the art of poetry may beencouraged.

With the Spring Number whichnow may be found at the bookshops,Mr. Pratt has published seven is-sues since November, 1941. Everyone of them has contained poetrythat had merit—not a few were ofoutstanding value.

Mr. Pratt offers no alluring pros-pects to those seeking either cashor fame. The foreword of theMagazine says that "it pays noth-ing to contributors", but on theother hand it "asks nothing fromthem except good poetry". He hasconsistently warned poets againstthe rackets which have mulctedthem out of cash on the promise ofboth cash and fame.

No one could accuse Mr. Pratt ofany lack of enthusiasm for poetry.His magazine speaks for itself,buthe has withal a very sane, realisticsense of the value of most verse.He feels that poets should not take

themselves too seriously. "There isnothing sacred about poetry," hesays. Like prose, it is a means ofexpression, and like prose, it is en-titled to respectful consideration ifinteresting and well written."***"A number of poets in this countryare producing work which is worthreading, and they deserve rationalcommendation. But it is doubtfulif more than a dozen of them havewritten anything- great enough tostand the test of time and be treas-ured a hundred years hence."

The Spring Issue contains poemsby two well-known Winter Parkresidents Dr. Helen Wiend Cole andMiss Mabel Mountsier. Dr. Cole'ssonnet is in a serious vein—with astrong Emersonian tinge that liasin it an arresting challenge to thecomplacent.

We quote, with permission:"WE ARE WHAT WE

REMEMBER"The future may have good in store

for me;I do not know, though I press to

that goalWhich beckons on to what there is

to be,What imprint it may leave upon my

soul,I cannot tell; this only do I knowWe are that which we choose to be,

each one—•We are that past which we have

lived, and soWe face our future selves each ris-

ing sun.

Whether we look on fields a-flow-eving

Or on the lonely deserts of regret,Whether we hear the birds with

rapture singOr aching void of silence, there is

setA law immutable for us at last—We are what we remember of the

past.

Miss Mountsier's poem is one ofgood humor, facetiously protestingthat poets look for inspiration mostof the time to:

"The seasons and the treesThe pretty flowers of every hueThe mockingbirds and bees"

but they neglect the "lowly kitchenstove"

"Whose oven bakes the Jacksoncake

P IANIST AND VIOLINISTHEARD IN LAST FACULTYCONCERT AT ROLLINS

(Wrilten by Prof. Richard Fcucrslcin)The last concert of the Fifth

Annual Faculty Recital Series,held in the Annie Russell The-atre on March 6, presented thetwo youngest members of theConservatory of Rollins Col-lege, Miss Sally Hammond, pi-anist, and Mr. Dante Bergonzi,violinist. These promising, tal-ented young art ists are a creditto Rollins College for two rea-sons: as instructors and as for-mer pupils of its Conservatory.

The program chosen by bothwas nuisically interesting, at-tractive, and varied.

Miss Hammond first playedChorale—"Jesu, Joy of Man'sDesiring" by Bach-Bauer, andOrgan Fugue in G Minor 'byBach-Sumaroff, She then con-tinued with Prelude in G SharpMinor by Rachmaninoff, Refletsdans l'eau by Debussy, andthree pieces by Scriabine,"Etude in G Sharp Minor, Pre-lude, and Poeme, Miss Ham-mond excelled not only in hervery good technique, but alsoin a creative personal interpre-tation that is original and son-orous. Her well-balanced mu-sical temperament is clear andlimpid,

Mr. Bergonzi, very ably ac-companied by Miss HazelMaurer, played Ciaceona by Vi-tali-Charlier-Auer, a very inter-

Onlythere where sober, logical di-rection is necessary in the mid-dle or lower registers, Mr. Ber-gonzi is somewhat hesitant toto underscore the trend of themusical idea.
