Curtains down: Rugs up. Pictures down. Ladders up. Brushes here. Brooms there. Pails there. Soap llG1'6. Nothing where it should be, everything where it shouldn't. Thats spring Cleaning! What an uncomfortable, agitating period it is while it lastsg but afterwards-what pleasure, what glistening cleanliness. Inevitable as spring itself, spring cleaning time comes, holds its soapy, watery sway, and goes again-doing immeasurable good. At this time old, unwanted things are shown the door, and, perhaps, new bright ones are brought in. More modern methods take the place of the older ones. llut surely the house is not the only thing that should be spring leaned? The old ideas, the old customs and notions need to be turned fut and turned over, the worthless thrown to the discard and the worth while brought up to date. lbo any of us need spring cleaning? Do we need, now, to foreswear all those very happy but rather aimless months and copy up missed notes and get 1'eady generally for those ldes of June, hovering before us, threatening, mocking inevitable? Butfstop-perhaps it would be bet- ter ii' we left this part of the matter to the searchings oi' our own con- science and say no more about it. We might mention, though. that the cleaning up is bound to be very uncomfortable, rather disconcerting, and needs immense courage. Ol' course, our teachers at Oakwood do not need much spring clean- ing. 'l'hey're at it continually. Isn't Mr. Dunkley always mixing up a little of the modern jazz with the old musty classic-and Mr. Robb, the amusiiig with the serious, with his delightful little jokes that often li1't llr from the despairs of Algebra and Trig. And don't we love Mr. llaniia ln brighten our classes with interesting little events that are go- ing on under our very noses-to make our history live-in other words lo spring' clean it. 01' course we need dusting, scrubbing, polishing-everyone does- f'.-f-rj.' thing does. llut-Oh, bother,-all this is moralizing. l'd better yijw and beat those rugs!
