Literature Of
by Dale Nelson
Ray Bradbury's contribution to the field of science fiction has
been outstanding and unusual. When Bradbury first began to get into
the field, the stories usually dealt with scientific marvels, space
pirates and weird adventures. Bradbury, however wrote stories that
were first and foremost about
For instance, in the story "Kaleidoscope" he shows us the
reminiscences of men floating helplessly in space. The end of the story
has a "punchline" which makes a powerful observation about how so
often people do not realize the tragedy around them.
"The Other Foot" shows how a Negro colony on Mars almost takes
the opportunity of persecuting the white man in revenge for the
mistreatement and cruelty Caucasians showed blacks on earth. But
here Bradbury indicates a hope that man's maturity and compassion
will develop along with his technology.
Both of these stories may be found in The Illustrated Man, an
excellent collection of short stories. Many other fine tales may be
found in The Martian Chronicles and The October Country.
The Citiiens of the Nine Weeks for last quarter were designated as
being Laurie F. Jones and Rosario DeLaTorre. Miss Jones was picked for
her activities in the Drama Club and the International Rodent Society
(IRS) DeLaTorre was honored for his work on the school paper, the
"Rogue News."

On the album Connection Don Ellis combines pop-rock music with
the big band sound and comes up with one of the best recordings ever.
"Put It Where You Want It" starts the album off with a pulsating
sound that the entire band contributes. One of the highlights on the
album is "Superstar." This song unleashes an extremely hard-driving
sax section that sets a scene of total excitement.
Another highlight on the album is "Roundabout." In this song
Ellis uses a quarter-tone trumpet with a ring modulator. This bizarre
sounding device releases a totally unexplainable sound not at all like
an ordinary trumpet; however, it does add a very interesting touch to
the total sound.
Other songs on the Album include "Alone Again (Naturally)," "I
Feel The Earth Move," "Goodbye To Love," "Conquistador" and
"Lean On Me." During the latter two songs, Ellis again uses his ring
modulated trumpet.
Those interested in lyrics had better beware of this record,
because there is nosinging; however, if you are the type that enjoys
listening to the band, this is the album for you, because the
instrumentals are fantastic.
to the parenthood section in order
to gain experience in working
with, observing, and disciplining
children of that age.
On Fridays, the class, which is
made of 19 girls and 4 boys, holds
a "rap day" to discuss problems
which have accumulated in a
question box. Says Miss Townes,
"the students will have an oppor
tunity to discuss what's impor
tant to them."
During the course of the sem
ester Miss Townes hopes to have
"losts of films and tapes and
hopefully some guest speakers."
