Outside are green trees and budding flowers everywhere. Dew- drops glitter like diamonds on the •sky-blue periwinkles, golden jon quils, and yellow jasmine. A squir rel chirping merrily scampers ove upper campus finally climbing one of the giant trees. These are the first signs of awaking day in na- Sunday morning, and “All the world’s a-tune.” “A-tune,” is right, for the first sign of awaking day in Clewell is somebody (whether Piney or Dot Thompson, we daresn't say) breaking the Sunday quiet with a lusty straining of lier vocal chords: “B-r-ringing in tha sheaves, B-r-ringing i-in tha sheaves. We sha-hal come rejo-oy-eing, B-r-ringing i-in tha sheaves” iJke an echo another voice in the other end of the hall answers with: “A tu-turn to tha ri-ight, A little white li-ight. Will lead you to Al-my bl-lue Heaven.” Then the sound of mops scrubbing, of buckets splashing water down the hall, of Piney’s lusty yelling, of broom-handles knocking against the doors—arouse the drowsy ones from their Sunday morning beauty sleep. If you were to listen closely one might hear inside these closed doors blasphemous sounds emitted towards maids, mops, and mundane affairs in general, from certain sleepy tliroats. “Some day they’re going to wash this place away,” comes from grey eat behind a certain closed door. “Yeh, remember the Johnson flood?” comes from the other cat behind the same closed door. I'inally the washers and cleaners depart, mops, brooms, buckets, and all, and silence reigns for five min utes while the bundled figures on all the grey eats creep back tliank- LITTLE THOUGHTS FOR TODAY “Oppo i dure On hammers till it breaks down the dure an’ thin it goes in an wakes him up if he’s asleep, an’ afther- ward it wurrks for him as a night-w'atchman. On other men’s dures it knocks an’ runs away, an’ on the dures iv some men it knocks an’ whin they eome out it hits thim over th’ head with a ax. But ivery wan lias an opporchunity.” Mr. Dooley. On Monday evening at 8:30 the first string music recital of the will be given under tlie directio Miss Read. This is Volley-ball season, and every afternoon at 3:30 there i; practice in the Hut. All students are asked to come out and play On Tuesday Afternoon, Mr. Mc Donald spoke to the Elementary Teachers of High Point on “The Making of a I-arge Unit Curriculum for tlie Fifth and Sixth Grades.” GOD I think about God. Yet I talk of small matters. Now isn’t it odd How many idle tongues chatter! Of quarrelsome neighbors, Fine weather and rain. Indifferent labors. Indifferent pain. Some trivial style Fashion shifts with a nod. And yet all the while, I am thinking of God. —Bradford. SUNDAY MORNING AN OLD FRIEND SPEAKS fully the of Morpheus. Then—t h e telephone rings, rings, RINGS persistently, everlastingly, eternal it seems, and all tlie figures on the grey cats stir restlessly. Someone answers the phone finally, goes to the side win dow “Catherine I.eiby, Catherine I.eib}',” so that all the world may know the popular recipient of a phone call. And when the doorbell buzn-buzzes for a full half-ho the skinny or restricted girl; jabbering loudly from breakfast, the huddled figures on the grey renounce their beauty sleep eternally lost. They get upj and stroll bad-temperedly in their red eoolie-coats, striped pajamas, .'i(nd zinc ointment spotted faces, down the hall for their “Specials.” After finding one from the One-and-Only and one from mama, each afore mentioned bad-tempered one skips good-naturedly back to her room just in time to hear the first ehurch- Half an hour later one can hardly recognize the beautiful girls in the droopy dresses, bright spring hats, spike heels, gloves, and furs, as the same bundled figures of the grey eats half an hour before. These jaunty figures proceed up the street to an opened Church door waiting to receive them. As they enter, the organ peels forth its welcome in the bright Sunday morning air. Then in the hush of proper Sunday quietude is gained at last. MISCELLANY In Racine, Wis., Mrs. Margaret C. Hand willed $500 to her pet In Manhattan, Joseph Penna, 31, six feet tall, tried to rob Mrs. Lou ise Hegeman, 01, five feet tall, who grabbed liis necktie, held hi No better tales can be told than those whose happenings have been essed by a silent onlooker, who, ; he has no part in the action, note every detail and bit of artion of others. The old basket ball rourt was just that sort of a per son, and a few' hours before its days were ended I stole down to the ter race and begged it to tell me some of the things it remembered most vividly about days gone by. This was what I heard: “Well, in the old times, you know, I was the best tennis court on the hill. Popularity was certainly mine, then. While some wer eplaying, others wohld sit off on the side trying to look polite when they i realh' wishing that, ‘Plague take it,’ those girls would quit some time and give them a chance. And, do you know, after about every game they’d have to stop awhile and talk. Boy' I heard some of the best secrets and after them the silliest giggles. I couldn’t see anything funny in ’em, but those girls certainly could. I always dreaded the days I had to be rolled! That old heavy thing was terrible and I was glad wh tliev decided I was to be a basketball court because I hoped I’d be do with that ordeal. But, no sin Dot Thompson just made it woi than ever, asking that man to always be tromping on me. I had to laugh at the girls, though, after that. They didn’t stop to t secrets any more. Miss Atkins just ke])t them humping all the time and it was my turn to giggle, onl; I don’ tthink that’s dignified so I just chuckled to myself. LOST and FOUND You needn’t risk health or comfort Now you can let hospitals guide you in your choice of sanitary protection, because 85% of them, the great outstanding hospitals of America, today use the same ma terial of which Kotex is made . . . Cellucotton (not cotton) absorbent wadding. Cellucotton is not cotton, but a cellulose substance which perfornjs the same sanitary function, with 5 times the absorbency. The fact that Kotex deodorizes is another aid to daintiness. And— the fifst reason that many women began using Kotex: it is disposable, instantly and completely. That alone is enough to have changed the hy gienic habits of women all over the world. Kotex Company. Chicago, 111. KOTEX IS SOFT . . . 1—Not a deceptive softness, that soon packs into chafing hard ness. But a delicate, fleecy softness that lasts for hours. 2—Safe, secure . . . keeps your 5—Deodorizes, safely, thorough ly, by a special process. 4—Disposable, instantly, com pletely.
