The grass is budding, coats are being shed and the Dean of Wo men is getting grey headed. —EC- All who are planning to go home for Easter are warned that they will miss a big fashion parade here on Easter Sunday morning. We hope it doesn't rain. —EC- FAREWELL It is with mingled feelings of pride, relief, and regret that we sit down to work on this our last paper. What was one year ago to us a great field to look forward to has rapidly materialized into reality and today we are more than proud of the fact that we have had the opportunity of work ing with the Maroon and Gold for a whole year. There have been times when discouragement was the predominant feeling, when it seemed an impossibility for us to keep the paper together and also to keep up with >ur regular work. But alter the storm there is al ways sunshine, and for those periods of sunshine we have been ever thankful and after them we have always been ready to start anew. It would be entirely fitting for us at this time to review somewhat the history of our efforts, but there is a feeling that that history is not exactly ours to give. We feel that the record of our achievements and failures has be come a part of ourselves. What has become a part of ourselves we feel that it would be unwise to try to tell, becaus'e the crowd that passes by one’s door is not always a sympathetic crowd. Our trials were very real to us, but we realize that to the ordinary ob server they might appear as mere trivialities. For this reason if for no other we hesitate to record our experiences in a definite form. There arc, however, things that we must say concerning our ex periences with the paper. We have found it hard to finance at all times, and we have found that it was always hard to get any co operation from the students in handing in material. Many stu dents failed to subscribe to their own paper. This at first made us feel bad, but then when we had a financial crisis right after Christ mas and the student body gave us enough money to go on, we felt that our work had not all been in vain. In short, we would summarize by saying to the students that we are glad to have served you; we are glad you criticized, and we know that you were interested. To the new staff we would say, “Stick in there.” You will get very little praise and a plenty of kicks, but never mind a thing like .that. Your true friends are the ones who are interested enough to kick. We expect far greater things of you than we have done ourselves, and we feel that that is not setting your goal very high. We bid you God-speed. >: Green Onions >* “You arc just as big as the things you do, just as small as the things you leave undone.

When teacher has set you a task that is stiff, Sometimes you get 'round it by finding an “If.” “But” is as bad as a stone in your shoe, Which makes you go home when you need to get through. Et’s a ditficult thing to get out of a rut. When youVe loaded and hampered and bothered with “But.” “When” is the worst of the three: the mean sneak Says, “ Do it tomorrow, next day ot next week. ’ ’ Great schemes have been ruined again and again By sand in tlie gear from tliat little word “When.” If you want to carve out a .career to your mind, To begin with just leave tho'se poor creatures behind; For the world will be his who in boy- liood learns how To establish an intimate friendship w’ith “Now.” —Gamali’el Bradford, in The Youth’s Companion.

Music Shown to Have Odd Effect on Hair It all the violinists in the world as- sembled together in one vast building, and they numbered, say, 100,000, it Is probable that there would be but 100 among them with bald heads. But If the same number of brass instru ment players were inspected, bald heads w^ould be as common as flies in summer time! If you doubt this, make a point of observing the heads of the orchestras in the cinemas or theaters you patron ize. Scientists declare that the playing of stringed instruments induces hair growth. A series of experiments on the partly bald has proved that stringed music has power to raise a hairy crop! Cornet and horn players lose their hair early; theirs is the wrong sort of music from the hirsute point of view. Tlie explanation advanced is that the physical strain of blowing affects the circulation and deprives the roots of the hair of their due sup ply of blood.

GET YOUR HAIR CUT —AT— ELON BARBER SHOP The Ox Woman The electric light, the elec tric iron, the vacuum cleaner —the use of electricity on the farm for pumping water, for milking, and for the cream separator—are help ing to make life happier. General Electric research and engineering have aided in making these conveni ences possible. A new series of G-E adver tisements showing what electricity is doing in many fields will be sent on request. Ask for booklet GEK-18. On an East Indian farm, where the crop is tea, a wooden plow turns up the rich black soil. A woman drives, another woman pulls—and a black ox pulls beside her. Six hours under a tropical sun, a bowl of cold rice —and six hours more. Then the woman goes to her bed of rushes, and the beast to his mud stall. Tomorrow will be the same. The American home has many conveniences. But many American women often work as hard as their Oriental sisters. They toil at the washtub, they carry water, they churn by hand—all tasks which electricity can do for them at small cost, in half the time. The labor-saving possibilities of electricity are constantly becoming more widely recognized. And the social significance of the release of the American woman from physical drudgery, through the increas ing use of electricity in and about the home, will appeal instantly to every college man and woman. 7*71DH GENERAL ELECTRIC GBNERAL RTP.nTPir? r-rinxuAxiv ^ ^ 7^^ BLECTRIC COMPANY SCHENECTADY, NEW y OBK
