To the Editor
Of the “Clarion’'
“When I [grew up] I put away
childish things. ”
Dear Editor:
Last fall I had the pleasure of
seeing an int^ercollegiale basket
ball game at Hjgh Point College.
It was a very ex(jjiting game, as
the score was close and both
teams appeared to be evenly
ma^tched. Although I do not re-
mtmber which team won, I do
ramember a very striking thing
about some of the students. Just
as the game was about to begin
a large group of the college girls
came in and, after seating
themselves, proceeded to start
knitting. On first thought this
seemed very silly and absurd, but
perhaps they were learning a
useful hobby and using their time
wisely.
It is said that most small girlsi
likte to play with dolls and play
housekeeping. ^ o one notices
this, and perhaps it is helpful
training.
On6 very cool morning this
week I saw a very striking thing
on our campus. A small group
of girls appeared in our classes
dressed in white arid carrying
most tenderly a small dog. The
kind of clothes we wear is a
personal mattei-, and with stu
dents like me what we wear is
limited. How we use our time and
the way we act during our early
life determine our later life to a
great extent. “As the twig is
bent so the tree grows.”
The mos^ of us came to school
to get training that would be
useful to us in the future. Tein
years from now most of our
careers will have been determin
ed. I wonder if we will be
traveling down this trail of life
with our head high in the air and
a little poodle under one arm?
Will our hobby then be taking
little “Fifi” out for a stroll?
Perhaps today would be a good
time to take inventory and not
only start selling our “childish
things” but start stocking with
merchandise we intend to use to
morrow. It is, to say the least,
worth a thought!
Yours truly.
