DR. WILCOX GIVES MPRES-
SIVE TALK IN CHAPEL
Dr. Wilcox, our new pastor, gave
U£> a very impressive talk in chapel
last Friday morning. He spoke on
the real values in education, telling
us: “What good education is to dif-
lerent people and, what different peo
ple get out of education.” He said
v.e could go to school and memorize,
and bluff our wjy through, but after
wo have finished what good has our
'■ducation been to u'3? Taking ge-
omedy, for example, we can memor
ize all the theorems and problems in
the book, but it is of no good to ub
ill later years. “Of course,” he said,
“that’s a way of getting by. But it
ti kes a person with a determined will
to stick, and determined to sacrifice
pleasure before he is able to get any
benefit out of his education.”
HOLIDAY
“Ten more days ’til vacation
Then we’ll go to the station
Back to civilization
Tho train will carry us home.”
This is a song heard on the halls,
sung in the dining rooms, and shouted
by every girl who is filled with en
thusiasm over going home for the
long waited-for and looked-forward-
to vacation. They can see Ma and
Pa, and the familie, John, Jim, and
Harry, all three, even the dogs, cats
and piggies, too. And anxiously wail
for the visit of dear old Saint Nick!
So 'tis tho the season to bo jolly
why not deck the halls with boueha
of holly?
