Lord Dunsany, who was born in 1878 and died in 1957, wrote many short stories and several novels which have a secure place in the realm of fantastic literature. The twentieth century has produced many brilliant writers of fantasy, but among these Dunsany is first chronologically, and, save for J.R.R. Tolkien and perhaps Robert E. Howard, the most important and influential upon other writers. Dunsany's short fantasies are strongly reminiscent of the ancient myths, with their colorful events and locales, and their perception of humanity. Yet they have a quality all their own as well; for Dunsany was writing these as conscious fictions he did not believe in these stories as poets like Homer believed in what they told of and thus Dunsany was free to strive for beautiful and unusual effects. Such as, for instance, some of the names: Perdondaris, Istrakhan, Thuba Mleen, and Saranoora. Of the stories noted, fantasy and science fiction critic L. Sprague de Camp said that they are "a priceless possession for any lover of fantasy. Like first-rate poetry, they are endlessly re-readable." The stories have the timeless quality of the old myths; like myths themselves, they will usually interest a reader deeply or bore him. Persons of different temperaments will have different reactions. Until recently these stories were somewhat hard to find, but recent paperbacks have collected many of them, so they are easily available. Ballantine Books has been bringing out a new Dunsany book each year since 1969. Next issue: An examination of Edgar Rice Burroughs, master of adventure.

Imagination As Quarter Project French Class Cooks "Un dejeuner Francais" was held by the French three class at noon on Tuesday, October 24. For those not up on their French, "un dejeuner Francais" is simply a French lunch. The menu for the meal included rataouille (a vegetable dish), du fromage (cheese), du pain (French bread), and apple cider. The French four class contrib uted their experience by making crepes (a thin French pancake) with cherry sauce for dessert. Through tears caused by sliced onions, several students spent first period French class cutting up vegetables in preparation for the meal. Then, excused from fourth period, apron clad stu f VM -a Students enjoy themselves at a P.E. Class Learns "Swing your partner round and round . . ." All this may be familiar to those who took P.E. and attended the square dances last year. Last summer Betty Kimball, Tim Brown, and George Copple got together and came up with the idea of including square d.mcing as part of the itinerary of the P.E. program. This year, the department will Cafeteria Stop Big Concern Students as Ashland High School have more flexibility. Students who have first or seventh period study hall have found this out. It is now the policy at AHS that pupils with first period study hall are ne t required to show up at school until 9:20 a.m. Students with seventh may leave at 2:35 p.m. "I do not see why kids should be kept in first or seventh period study hall when they do not have anything to study," said Princi pal Gaylord Smith. This policy has been an advantage to the working stu dent. Students who work after school have the extra time to get to work or to lake care of other needs before they are required to be present at their job. Students who work into the early morning hours and have first period study hall can sleep-in. Attendance Officer George Findlay foresees no problems "as long as the students use this privilege to the advantage of everyone." Students with those study halls are not to pester other AFS classes or junior high and elementary schools. dents scurried around the Home Ec room finishing the meal. Waiters Jack Thoreson and Sue Roderick carefully set tables while three cooking groups seacrsearched for the pans and spices necessary to complete their dishes.

"We plan to go more into folk dancing this year," said Copple who is in charge of the program. Most of the dances are simple and can be learned quickly.

Honored guests at the lunch were Principal Gaylord Smith, Deans William M earns and Margaret Zwick. and Home Ec teacher Joan Townes. According to French teacher, Ida Simon, the class will try to do some cooking once every nine weeks. The purpose of the meal Mrs. Simon said is "to increase an appreciation of this aspect of French culture and to increase vocabulary." Hi-Q Hopefuls Battle For Top Five Slots "What is the main meat ingredient in hasenpfeffer?" This is a typical question asked of the current High-Q hopefuls. Thirteen students are now exploring their own knowledge in an effort to make the High-Q team. Advisor Don Vondracek hopes to get his squad down to five students, four regulars and one alternate, by December. Vondracek's method of elimin ating students is nothing unusual. "I ask the students questions and the first student to answer correctly gets a check after his name," said Vondracek.
