THE AVESTA
CONTRIBUTORS
The former editor of this section of THE AVESTA, MR. WILLIAM BOYD
who is now in the University of Texas, has recently been elected to Scrib-
lers, the University writer's club. In the February issue of The Longhorn
appeared a short story written by Mr. Boyd, and entitled Kilkenney Kitty.
This story displays unusual literary ability, and we look forward to other
interesting contributions which will be made from time to time by our
gifted Teachers College ex-student.
DUNCAN ROBINSON is just a freshman in college but his experience in
writing verse places him in our "Who's Who" column at once. At the age
of fifteen he began writing for his home paper in Cleburne, Texas. Later,
he became a regular contributor to "Life" and "The Saturday Evening
Post." In 1925 he represented the Hi-Y clubs of the United States in an
international conference in St. Louis. As a result of this he won second
place to Edgar Guest in a national contest for sentimental verse. Duncan
has also published two volumes of poetry, "Beneath the Student Light"
and "Rainbow Ribbons," which have received favorable comment from
critics. Since he has been in our college, he has contributed regularly to
the Campus Chat, and in this number of The Avesta you will find why he
likes poetry. However, he does not like literary folk, whom he designates
as "these people that wear their souls on their sleeves."
EVA STAPLETON, author of The Flower, is quite a cosmopolitan young
lady. She went abroad in 1922 and visited England, France, Belgium,
Germany, and Czecho Slovakia. While abroad she saw the Passion Play
which is given once every ten years in Ober Ammergau. Miss Stapleton
has also traveled through the western part of the United States. If she
has a hobby it is travel, and her enthusiasm for the west is unbounded.
El Paso is her native city. She gives all the teachers a cordial invitation
to the State Teacher's Association which is to be held there next year. She
had never written anything for publication before she came to the College,
but she has always wished to write, not as a professional, but for the pleas-
ure it gives her to express her thoughts. Miss Stapleton is a great swim-
mer and expressed a hope that the swimming pool might be finished bynext summer.
