THE
PLAID
This
year Glenridge's literary magazine - THE
PLAID - has a new name and a much wider
scope. It will include every type of original
creative writing. Under prose may be included
short stories, essays, biography, character
sketch and local color sketch. All forms
of poetry are eligible; free verse, ballads,
limericks, and lyric verse. Under the heading
of drama, plays both comic and tragic are
needed.
The
art of communicating, of expressing in vivid
and interesting form what we think and feel,
is a skill worth achieving; a valuable asset
all through life. No matter what career
we may choose, our satisfaction and success
in this field will always be greatly increased
if we are able to express ourselves fluently.
The
Plaid offers all of us an opportunity to
compete in a literary contest. This is a
challenge to each one of us to accept.

A
TEST OF LOGIC
There
were two tribes of natives living in Africa;
one having red feet, the other tribe having
blue. The natives with red feet were perpetual
liars, quite incapable of telling the truth.
The natives with the blue feet were incapable
of telling a lie.
One
day a missionary met three natives walking
down the road. They were all wearing shoes.
The missionary asked the first native the
color of his feet. The native mumbled his
answer so the missionary could not understand
him. The missionary asked the second native
what the first had said.
"He
said he had blue feet," said the second
native.
"No",
said the third native. "He said his feet
were red."
What
color were the third native's feet?
