TIME ?
Cliristirias vacation is over in si)itc
of all the wishful .hinking and
pleasant memories still in the air.
But many of us do not seem to real
ize that we are back at school. Many
spend most of their time talking or
sleeping or doing nothing, whether
it he in chapel, in classes, or in their
rooms, and whether it be twelve
o’clock noon or twelve midnight.
IVith examinations coming up in
another week, there are few of us
who can afford to waste time. And
certainly iioiie of us should feel free
to waste time now. For this year
especially we should all strive harder
to get the very most out of our
classes and to make the very best
showing on our exams that is hu
manly possible.
Indeed, we should consider it a
point of honor to do our best work—
we who still have the privilege of
studying and learning the truth
when boys and girls our age all over
the world have been taken out of
their schools to tight for their coun
try, or to work as slaves for their
conquerors.
_ For though we are not ready to
give our jiersonal services to our
country now, we who earnestly and
sincerely study and learn today can
he of great value in the future. For
it is lip to us, the students of today,
to insure learning and true culture
to a peaceful world tomorrow.

SAINT’S SALLIES
AVell, it’s over—that wonderful
month! And we all enjoyed it. The
most popular pastime (sorry the
Faerie Queen ivas nosed out here,
Mr. Aloore) was getting engaged.'
Ticky LaRoque made that trip to
California and not only got engaged
but also left school. . . . The Xaw
claimed Ellen Oast and Joan Stell,
as both returned sporting minia
tures. Ellen debated whether to tie
the knot now or to finish school,
ft’s worth the wait, Frisco. And
Joan’s Jimmy spent most all his
Christmas leave with her in Wash
ington. They did the town, so I
hear, and Joan even received an
apron and some dish towels as a
Christmas present. . . . Now Lillian
Jenkins heats them all. She met
'HIAf Christmas Day, is engaged,
and has set the wedding date. Fast
work, gal; hope it’s the real thing.
