Belles of Saint Mary's IT’S A DULL FUTURE FOR A BLIND WORLD How smart can Sophomores get, we wonder ? And it's congratulations to them for coming out on fop in the recently held TIME tests. This is all well and good, but we wonder how the mighty Sen iors feel about being run out of first place. And the Juniors didn’t make too good a showing, either. Surely somebody has to win, hut the older we get, the smarter we’re supposed to get. Something must have hap pened. It all goes to show there’s been_ a general neglect of newspapers, radio, and a lack of interest in recent hap penings. This isn’t good. There s no sense in going through life simply buried and blind to what’s going on around us. So let’s try a little hard er and keep a good eye open on world affairs.

Dear Miss L-L, Tell Miss Gyp about your loti and have her retell your forhH'^ Philosophy of Cockroach and Cat Forms Basis For Unusual Novel Helpful Suggestions^ Change Modern .n (il- We’ve been reading a delightful book by Don Marquis called the lives and times of archy and mekitabel, which has resulted in a slight neglect of more intellectual jiursuits but a new slant on life as seen from the under side. It’s about a cockroach, but don’t turn up your nose. Archy is far from being any run-of-the-mill cockroach. The soul of a poet has transmigrated into the lowly body of said scion of the insect world. Archy supposedly leaps on the keys of the newspaper office typewriter at night but is not strong enough to depress the shift key; hence all his copy is in lower case type. Archy’s boon companion is Mehit- abel the cat, who has the soul of an artist and a sadly undm'-developed maternal instinct. Mehitabel’s mot to is toujours gai and she is always complaining that “life is just one darn kitten after another.” INDIVIDUAL OR CONVEN TIONAL MARIE: FROM SUE Dear Marie, And the herd moves on, thinking, doing, acting in much the same way, made up of a mass of so-called indi viduals. Yet are they really indi viduals? After so long a time the herd becomes conformed to the ideas of the group. The group is the driv ing force and individual opinions don’t seem to matter. So, as a result, individuals simply quit thinking for themselves. Instead, day-in and day- out, they spend their time listening to malicious gossip of idlers, preju diced ideas and opinions of politi cians, gullibly accepting their beliefs as true, too lazy to give their own minds a chance to ponder over ques tions and analyze them for their worth. We all have minds and the power of thinking; then why not use them ? People should have a sense of indi viduality, a feeling of self-confidence, and the idea that their opinions are important to the group. They should not be merely followers in a herd, living and echoing the beliefs of oth ers. They should use those minds and use them wisely. Thank you ever so much for those Golden Earrings. I wore them Sat urday Xight when I dated Bill. I’ni So In Love with him, but I’m afraid that Somebody Else Is Taking My Place. I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good as I feel that he is two-timing me. If I could only know Who it is that he likes. The following are some of Archy’s comments on the passing scene: an optimist is a guy that has never had much experience. insects have their own point of view about civilization, a man thinks he amounts to a great deal but to a mosquito he is merely something good to eat. coarse jocosity catches the crowd Shakespeare and i are often low browed. man is genuinely puzzled as to whether his grandfather was a mon key or a god. iiiiiiifiiis appear just as uinieces- sary to cockroaches as cockroaches do to humans. a lou.=:e i used to know told me that millionaires and bums tasted about the same.
