•O ' ' ife ' ftr-y Rain Anyone, living in the country at least, who has never donned an old coat, pulled an old hat or kerchief on and simply gone walking” in a good rain storm has missed something. Perhaps everyone would not agree with me on this statement, but let him experience it just once and he’ll surely change his mind. He’ll get wet through — certainly — he may even have a few sniffles af- terward, but what of it? Rain has its moods, just as we do. It can come quietly, so that one hard- ly knows when it comes at all. Re- freshing rain, that is, washing the air slowly as if it never cared to stop. Rain can come as a relief after a long drought. Coming, it seems, for the sole purpose of moistening the ground. It hastens down as if it were in a hurry to finish. Rain is cruel, at times, and rules with an iron hand. It pours down in buckets” as if it were simply falling from force of duty with no desire other than to fulfill its duty. It will undoubtedly rain yet this af- ternoon. I wonder that today’s mood will be! It has been holding out so long that it will probably pour down simply because we expect it to. Rain is a living thing to me, like trees or grass or even people, and I love it. I have walked with it in its many moods and now I pass my ex perience on. Look upon rain as a friend who washes the air and who moistens the ground. Rain is our constant stand- by; without rain — nothing. Phyllis Stockley, ’41. What Are You Planning To Do? What are you thinking of doing when you leave school? Every pupil in school should be thinking of what he is going to do after he graduates. There is a line of work for you, me, and everyone else in school; therefore you can’t say, There isn’t a kind of work suited to me,” because there is one if you are ambitious enough to find it and work toward it. There is enough work to keep every person in this country above minor age occupied. Then don’t be a lazy, good-for-nothing loafer, because there is no excuse for it. Many people say that in order for one to get a good job, a college edu- cation is needed, but I think just by having a high school education that you can get a long way toward a good paying job, and this education is free to us. We ought to be thankful for living in a country such as ours because in many European countries you are put into the army or the nursery school for the army as soon as, and sometimes before, you are out of school. School education isn’t free in every country as it is here. Be ambitious and not a worrying loafer, and you’ll find many oppor- tunities open to you. Richard Berry, ’41.
