The moment is all
The art of the short story
On Wednesday, May 4, the
Grade •13 French class and
Canadian Literature classes
were honored by the
presence of Professor Dugan
of the University of Water-
loo.
He began by telling, in
French, of the life of Guy de
Maupassant (author of the
stories taken by French 551
students) whose parents had
divorced and who had been
sent away from home to
learn under the guiding hand
of a famous writer, Flaubert.
This knowledge of disci-
pline and leadership were
good for de Maupassant for
they made his stories some
of the best in French litera-
ture.
Unfortunately, when he
was mid -way through his
studies, he was interrupted
by the Franco-Prussian War.
Afterwards, without any
money, he had to get a job as
a civil servant, which he
loathed.
Flaubert was very strict
about perfection, so this
period of writing and rewrit-
ing was very discouraging
for de Maupassant. In 1880,
his first short story was pub-
lished in a volume with other
writers. His story was the
best, comparatively. And
overnight, Guy de Maupas-
sant became famous.
This • knowledge brought- a
depth of character to an
author the students had only
read about.
Next, Prof. Dugan talked
about the art of the short
story. He maintained that
the most important dimen-
sion is time. The short story
is not to convey a duration,
but a moment in time.
This was de Maupassant's
greatest contribution: the
importance of the Moment;
the moment when the hero
doesomething that changes
everything; the moment
when the hero is bound to
die!
Many of de Maupassant's
stories also include the ele-
ment that scientific informa-
tion can explain a lot, but it
can only be obtained through
the five senses. Other things
such as God and fear are
beyond the senses and re-
main unexplainable —
though man may try !
A deep debt of gratitude is
owed to Professor Dugan for
coming and explaining to us
his views on both de Maupas-
sant and the short story. Also
thanks go to Mr. Campeau
for allowing us such an inter-
esting opportunity.

Book review
THE GAME OF LIFE
Exams, exams, exams
Why must be have exams?
They take up our precious
time
And make us mentally un-
stable.
We study, study, study
All for what, we study?
In one ear and out the other.
Chemical warfare inside our
heads.
Sit, write, sit, write
Will we ever end — write?
Pages of foolscap then clean
Now "cap-ful" of our intelli-
gence.
Finally out of high school
College or ivy -coated univer-
sity.
With a sigh of relief — no
exams.
Only to find unconsciously
That life is one big exam
Crucial for us —
Either we pass
Or, we fail!
—Michelle Hooftman
The Death God's Citadel
This book, by Juanita
Coulson, is the perfect book
for any person who enjoys a
good fantasy novel.
Tyrus and Erejzan, the
two_ major ,characters, have
set off on a quest for
revenge. Slowly throughout
the book, more is learned
about their past.
Vraduir is an evil wizard,
Tyrus' sire. Once on Qua -
mat, an island in the pro-
vince of Clarique, , Vraduir
had been a good and just wiz-
ard king. Tyrus learned well
from him but Vraduir feared
him as a rival and began to
walk the evils ways of sor-
cery. Erjzan had been
keeper of the King's beasts
but because he chided_ the_
evil v�izard, he was changed
into an "ecar", a large wild
feline, when Vraduir became
angry.
With his magic, Tyrus fol-
lows a trail of thefts: a stal-
lion (God's), a harper, a god-
dess' crown, tapestries and a
silver fishing net. Along with

UNTIL
Take a space of time
Analyse it
What do you have?
You cannot understand it
It is beyond your grasp
Like time.
Measure the minutes
Scale the hours
Still you cannot know.
Remark, if you will
But the measuring
Still eludes you
Until you are ended
Then time too
Has died.
To what illusion
Must you be forced
Before you believe
That today is only
Today
And can only be used
Until it is gone.
—Liz Wilkins
NOTHING TO SAY
Sitting here at my typewriter
I can think of nothing to say.
I know that if I sat here,
I could think about it all day.
And still have nothing,
Important to say.
But if I was somewhere,
Where I could not write,
The words would spill out,
Come day or night.
It's strange when you think
About how the mind works.
It does not like to be pushed,
And prodded in jerks.
But if you let it
Take its time,
It will think wonderfully
well,
And work at its prime.
So if you are ever
Stuck with nothing to say
Forget about speed,
Just relax and spend all day.
—Nancy Moore
