HERE ' S HOW THEY PLAY There are many ways to have fun at Wofford, and you can always find somebody looking for a good time. Well, why not? Ever since the ancient and sedate Chinese lawgivers culled choice tea leaves and wrote mellow poems on apple blossoms for recreation, people have always gotten a kick out of letting work slide for a while, and then returning to their jobs with new zest. Of course, there are professional, full time fun-makers in all colleges, but at Wofford there are only a few. The majority of the student body squints at bacteria, weighs out metallic salts, observes pendulums, writes sepulchral essays, and sweats over Shakespeare for hours on end, and then cuts loose for an occasional good time. They will grow up to marry Nancy, Mary or Sara and themselves be Uncle Joe or Cousin Bob, and long after they have forgotten the laws of chemical combination or Hamlet ' s soliloquy on suicide they can look back to dances and banquets, to rat meetings and shirt-tail parades, to dates and games, and chuckle at their pranks or long for their carefree days as students. T ie mirth and fun grew fast and furious.

A genial Wofford professor has re- marked that knowledge doesn ' t come by intuition, and during exams, many a dis- traught, discomboomalated student is eager to agree. But studying, when it is released from the picayune fetters of boning for a pending class or exam, proves itself as prac- I AN McCASKILL IN THE STACKS. S
