Since we won’t be here wbeu this
issue comes out it strikes us that now
would be an oxeellent time to say
lots of things we’ve wanted to say
for some time. But the point is—
we have to come back, and there is
really no tolling ivhal would sti'ike
us then!
The height of our desire has al
ways bceu to bo captain of a chuni-
pionsliip football team. But as it
is, wc have to take our thrills second-
liatul from the side lines just now.
We’re holding our breath until after
the games of this week, as we dnre
say most of the other colleges in
the State are doing.

There is nothing like seclusion.
When one is blessed with a poultry
disease such as the chicken pox she
has a world of opportunities opened to
tier mind which is well protected
under a mountainouB surtace. The
rirst opportunity she meets is one ol’
controlling her emotions and her
temper. To be able to smile when the
complexion begins its eruptions, to be
able to sinK as you ploddingly place
one loot before the other in cHmbing
the third flight ol’ stairs on your way
to the Inlirnmry, and to be able mer
rily to prepare lor a two week’s nap
while Sou delivers her welcome ad-
di'esH is an accomplishment worth
vhile. What a wonderrul training it
is to be able to remain in a small
room on the fourth floor while tlie
grcal.est occasion of the year takes

ThcMi think of the opportunity ol'
missing classcs. Where is the girl who
would not pat herself on the shoulder
(if yon had a bad case, the patting

nil her couch and roniembcrod hour

a dreadful quiz? Right here I think

I hope you’re truthful, but I doubt it!”
And the funny part about it is that
wc really haven’t any old girls—they
all seem to stay young. They “simply
despise” or are “perfectly crazy” just
a: we all are—Aye! so are we all of ub!
But here's the point. Everybody’s
doing things! The classes are simply
going over the top in the way they’re
responding to this furniture program.
