ACTIVITIES If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would he as tedious as to work, But when they seldom come they wish'd for come And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents. No, Olney's clubs are not rare accidentsf' but they are awishld for diversions from our every day work. They are to us playing holidays which we never tire of. They are offered to us as presents. If we accept, we find we have been given something really worth while. If we refuse, if we fail to open our present, we never know what we have missed-tho, we know that we have missed something. Can you imagine how dull our years at Olney would have been with just ,readin,, ,ritin', and 'rithmeticl' We needed and wanted our clubs to give us that something else-that something which is school, but is different and enjoyable. When can we again Hnd groups of people our own age who are interested in the same things We are? In the after graduation world we shall have to seek such groups. Here at Olney they are ours, ours to take advantage of. We, in the graduation class, have taken advantage of our clubs because we know that as Shakespeare once said, T here is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune, Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows, and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloatg And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our venturesf' Yes, we have taken the current, and, with good fortune, we shall not lose our venturesf' 32
