Gn*<* tings
Wc, the COLLKGIATE staff wish to unroll the “wel-
cotne” mat once af;uin. We would like to extend our greet-
inj! to all of you - to those of you who arc here at Atlan
tic Christian for the first time and to those of you who
are returninK from last year.
Why you chose Atlantic Christian is not as important as
the fact that you did choose it. We are proud and happy
that you did and we hope that by this time you have be
come one of our lar^e, happy family.
IxMik around you’ Try to realize that the students are
not the only ones who are members of this congcnial
Kroup, but that the members of our faculty want to be
our frit-nds too. They are interested in each of us as an
individual, not as a mechanical dummy who movvs only
when called upon to do so. They have our interests at
heart. II at any tune you are faced with a problem,
whether it is larxe or small, feel free to ask for as
sistance from any faculty member or student. To serve
one another is one of our greatest aims.

Now Is The Time
Whether we arc freshmen or upperclassmen, we are
all faced with the age • old problem of what to do with
ourselves in the future after we leave college. Some of us
will leave as college graduates, usually trained for the
teaching profession. Others of us may be forced to leave
before that day of graduation. Many of our students, es
pecially the boys, have had no choice whatsoever in this
matt<-r. They have been called into the .scrvice of their
country long before their college careers were over.
Now IS the time for us to begin preparing ourselves for
our future lives. Whenever an opportunity presents itself
to aid us in our selected goal in life, we should reach out
and grasp it.
One of the first things we can do toward enriching our
lives i* to become betl»T ac(|uainted with ourselves. We
should separate our good points from those that we
know are bad. No one will see this personal check-up but
us; therefore, we can be completely honest with ourselves.
Once we have decided what good qualities we have we
should think of the ways that we can make these even
better. We should work on this, but we should give most
of our attention to the task of correcting our bad qualities.
While we arc here in college we will have the best op-
|K)rtunity that life will ever offer to broaden our personal
outlook on life.
Decide what your outlook on life is. Give it your deepest
thought and consideration. At the end of the year, be
able to look back over your vear’s work and say that
you have accomplished something worthwhile. In order
to give a positive answer realize that now is the time to
begin adding up those accomplishments.
11 Occurs To Me
Marriage is a new but often considered subject with
college freshmen. Since marriage is without question the
most far - reaching relationship of life, it is only logical
that everything possible be done to evaluate its demands
of .<iacrifice, partnership, consideration, and allegiance be
fore It IS begun. This relationship as it exists today will
determine the framework of our World tomorrow: there
fore. It merit.M the most serious consideration.
We must first learn how to love before we can be loved.
Une of the finest results of growing up is the ability to
love in a deeper way than we ever found at any other
time. Love must mean much if a whole life is to be
happy. Gradually one can prepare oneself for the kind of
married life that will give tone and beauty through all the
years.
Friendship, a first necessity, develops as one shares
with others in work and play, in ideas, enthusiasms, ad
mirations and life purposes. It grows especially by the
sharing of ideals and in a feeling of two people that they
have the same .set of values. Thus comes depth and vita
lity to friendship; dating becomes less likely to drift into
mere shallow stimulation.
Physical beauty, of course, is a lovely and Godgiven
thinir. but remains important and interesting only if there
are fine qualities of mind, character and personality be
hind an attractive face or form. One can have a glamor
that fizzles out, or one can have a lasting attractiveness.
Such attractiveness can be had by persons who are not
n.iturally beautiful as well as those who are, for the deep
est beauty is a quality within the heart.
People who develop their dating on the basis of physical
attraction naturally give the impression that they have
not much else to offer. Eventually they eliminate the
possibility of really knowing and appreciating each other
as personalities.
People who prepare themselves for a complete and
geninue experience of love will be more likely to find
in it the steadiness and continued happiness which we
naturally seek. And love, deep and loyal, will be needed
to steady the lives of people in this difficult time. A world
that ha.<i been partly destroyed by hate can be built up
afSain in sound, happy units only if people are intelligent
about human relationships, including love and marriage.
Otherwise, they will likely match the chaos and loneliness
of the world outside by turmoil and frustration in their
own lives.

more vibration come from a pat

people standing in the middle of a
dance floor in time to mujic. But
we had a big dance, and I went
stag. My evening dress was re
made from one of my aunt's. It
had purple plumes on the shoulder
and 1 knew it would be the pret

was that plumes had gone out of

A teacher, who was very interested in Safety First,
always asked her class every morning: “Children wiiat
would you do if a fire began in school this very moment?"
The children always replied; “We would stand up, step
into the aisle, and march quickly from the room.” One
day the principal came to the room the first thing in the
morning to speak to the grade. The teacher asked: “Child
ren. what would you do if I told you the principal was
going to give us a little talk this morning?” And from
long habit the children replied: “We would stand up.
step into the aisles, and march quickly from the room.'
