THOUGHTS FOR THE
DAY
We communicate happiness
to others not often by great
acts of devotion and self-sac
rifice, but by the absence of
fault-finding and censure, by
being ready to sympathize
with their notions and feelings,
instead of forcing them to sym
pathize with ours.
—James Freeman Clarke.
Reputation is what men and
women think of us; character
is what God and the angels
know of us.
—Thomas Paine.
What makes life dreary is
w'ant of motive.
—George Eliot.
CUCKOO!
Everything this past week has
seemed to be carried through under
the handicap of a general “hang
over” from the Christmas vacation.
Even the Salemite has felt its evil
influence and has shrunken to half
its usual size as the result. Y
little as we are, there should be
few golden drops floating around
somewhere in these half-pint pages.
You know the old saying about the
early Bird catching the worm? Of
course, you all do, but perhaps you
did not know that by the use of an
ancient Cuban mathematical theorem
the conclusion has been reached that
Early Bird who suffers from a
hangover can see the worm—there’s
:ally no use in being early in that
ise. The point to this, believe it
: not, sticks in the fact that the
sooner the over-lapping influence of
the past few weeks are gotten rid of,
much the better. Worms and ex-
is are about equally easy to di
gest and even the Early Bird wishes
he had been a little earlier about
e things. It’s the same old idea
'Do your Christmas Shopping
Early,” and getting the proper
amount of sleep and fresh air—
(That’s a misplaced ending—those
last thoughts belong in an article
about an efficiency cup, but we think
they make a swell period.)
There are only a few people who
1 not dread examinations. These
happy ones have learned the secret
arly preparation and its grati
fying result. There are many who
come back with the reply that
ever-impending problems of
daily preparations makes a review
at this stage, impossible. These
would be amazed to discover how
much ground could be covered from
on by means of a fifteen or
twenty minute review before begin
ning a new lesson. When one really
faces the situation squarely, the ab
surdity of going through this brain-
twisting process known as “cram
ming,” is evident, and methods of
improvement for a better adjustment
of time and eifort are not obscure.
At any rate there shouldn’t be any
unemployment question floating
around the campus the next
weeks for there is no ether in
air—“ether” we study or flunk! Now
is the time to reach out and grab
opportunity while it fumbles with
the knocker. Get rid of these Christ-
mas and New Year hangovers and
be one of those birds who have the
sleepy worms to crawl right up, en
twine themselves around the bill—
in this case personality is not used—
it’s hard work!
SIMPLY THOUGHTS
Hope everybody is “welcoming
each rebuff, that turns earth’s
smoothness rough”—for there are
lots to be made welcome right now.
. . . Salem is like a face without a
Rose with both Miss Stipe and Miss
Smith among those missing—here’s
■wishing them a speedy recovery . . .
Christmas hangovers are much in
evidence—and it’s fun to look for
Christmas presents proudly blazing
forth on every hand (No, no, Rollo,
I don’t necessarily refer to engage
ment rings) ... It saddens me to
hear of Squat Caldwell’s having tak
en up bootlegging during the holi
days—she used to be such a fine, up
right character ... I don’t know
f anything that can look as purely
chaste as snow on the first day—or
'ilely foul as snow on the twenty-
firset . . . Miss Katherine J. Rig
an—a Southren Pines girl who has
lade good in our fair city . . .
How many of you burnt your Mo-
in candles on Christmas Eve?—
I did . . . Did you ever watch
people’s expressions when they are
in the library studying—or in the
dining room eating? It’s great
sport . . . But my favorite sport on
classes is swinging on electric light
cords—in fancy understand. It’s
fun back and forth across the room—
but round and round is best of all
.'I know a woman who doesn’t
smile—she bares her teeth ... If
Woodrow Wilson had had to sit in
the back of a class and gaze for an
hour at people’s would-be coiffures,
he’d have changed his favorite poem
to “It’s th epeople behind that I
jar.” ... I learned a snappy
come-back during the holidays—“If
the Lord loved a liar, you’d have a
front seat in Heaven”—O yes, I iaj-
prove my mind even during vaca
tions . . . Overheard from a group
headed up town—-“Is my face on
straight?” Ah, me, what’s become
of nature’s roses tliat used to bloou
on damsel’s cheeks? . . If Jinks
comes, can Gooch be far behind? .
I wish Miss Fuller wouldn’t weg
her dress with buttons on the sleevei
to class—just when I get her for
tune almost told, she mov-es and I
