Perhaps if you brush out the cob webs from your memory, you will be able to conceive of such a time. Today, even though we are so busy that we hardly have time even to think about things such as this, I am sure most of us are happier. What fun we had as we worked together to make May Day a success. Now that it is all over, I believe most of the sleepy Freshmen would say that they enjoyed writing their term papers. In fact, most of us are really too busy, if v/e put our time to the best use, to be unhappy. But even in being so busy at our work, let us not forget to be human! We can not just be happy by ourselves in our own little world. A smile is the cheapest, and yet one of the most valuable things that we can give to a person we meet in the hall, in the classroom, on the tennis courts or at the table. A friendly word takes so little effort on our part and yet will mean so much to a person who is not considered our best friend. As we continue to be busy with our college work and ac tivities, let us also remember to be busy with our work of TO THE SENIOR By Dot Hamilton inaking^thers happy. ,Then we will .-be al^le-to be our very happiest. i|S Compliments of ^ B.
