Do You Need Rest? The Infirmary Is Not For You Students in the library on a cer tain Tuesday night heard above them the jovial voices and light hearted footsteps belonging to the girls in the second lab section. They were merrily going up the stairs to do a few experiments for their be loved teacher, Mr. Morgan. Some of the readers frowned, some ignored the noise, but a few knowing ones grinned at each other while Jean rnneh nudged Sara Ilolcomh and whispered, “We were excited last night and knocked a bottle of sid- furic acid over on a dish of sodium, but from the waj' they sound to- tonight, they might blow the entire building uj)!” Mr. Morgan knew when he saw the beaming and breathless girls walk in the door that lab was not going to have the serious, painstak ing atmosphere that night, as it usually had. lie inwardly heaved a sigh but smiled in his usual ami able fashion as he remembered that this was the last lab night before Christmas vacation. The girls had just walked through the crisp, win ter air which held a hint of snow in it, and their ears were still ringing with the chimes from a local church. They blinked their eyes to push out of their minds the vision of a Christ mas tree, fireplace, presents, a fam ily (none other Hian their own, of course) and the “one and only,” so that they might focus their atten tion on a dim, but seemingly tan gible, chemistry laboratory. They sat down heavily because they knew that they must try to keep their minds off of holiday dreams if they were to concentrate on chemistry. Mr. Morgan couldn’t seem to make his pre-lab explanation to the girls clear enough that night. They asked an unusual number of ques tions even though they were in a hurry to get lab over with. Suz anne Dawson wanted to know if sodium aluminate was what they used to make the shiny icicles she decorated her tree with every year, and ^Inn Shuford remarked that since hydrogen was a good reduc ing agent she might inhale a little of it every day so that she could get. that dream of a dress at Jean’s to wear to the New' Year’s Eve party. After the girls had finally ab-i sorbed a seemingly sufficient explan-i ation, they busily got to W'ork on their experiments. When Jean Eng lish recorded in her lab manual that the mixture of the hydrochloric acid and magnesium in a test tube effer vesced and popped when she held a lighted s])lint at the mouth of the container, she wondered if the holi day champagne bottle would j)op tiny louder when opened if she held a lighted splint over it. It was worth trying at any rate, she thought. Eunice Saunders decided not to buy any fireworks this Christmas because she found that red hot steel wool exposed to oxygen produced just as pretty an efi'ect as her sparklers ever did. Martha Nash dryly re marked that it would be rather troublesome to have to heat steel wool red hot and then provide it w'ith pure oxygen. Connie Barnes wanted to throw some sulfur in her fireplace at home because it burned with such a pretty, pale, purple flame but when told that the suffocating odor per vading the room just then was due to sulfur dioxide formed by the burn ing of sulfur, she changed her mind. Then the inevitable happened: Someone had not blinked her eyes hard enough and the sugar plum visions dancing in her head obstruct ed her thinking. With a faraway look in her eyes, she absent-mindedly shook a bottle of nitroglycerin and a frightening, but luckily not harm ful, explosion occurred. The group was dazed and Mr. Morgan became uneasy. Someone continued hum ming rn Be Home for Christmas even after this. Mr. Morgan then deemed it wise to wish the girls a Merry Christmas and to bid them good night! ai)(] "" .Jiarj s ait? 8>rls "'eek are bad; some- 'veeks 8t Saint Mary’s are JOes I'en tb feel they an,?!- carefree and some- were weeks free. roll often ’,^*®'g"“^cnts pile up sky girl’s mind turns to oagjjt p^on jiie infirmary.

Besides, there is no way to receive a second helping when you are in the infirm ary. Sick patients don’t usually have a hearty appetite. During the day, cough medicine, nose drops, thermometers, and pills are taken by the patient, in case of a cold, aiuf the remedies are even worse if anything else is wrong. At night when all the confusion dies down and the patient has finally gone to sleep, someone will ine\ita- blv come in and wake her up just to .see if she is having any tiouble going to sleep. Believe me girls, if you want to go to the infirmary just to catch up on your work, you can always find an easier wav out!
