High School Days Are we enjoying high school days, or are we inclined to re- gard them as confining and tedious? Probably some of us consider our high school as a prison surrounded by high walls of study. We don’t sense the fact that there are open gates of joy and pleasure constantly ajar, and that these outlets are possible because good humor abounds. After graduating we shall look back and exclaim, “Oh, for an- other try at those math prob- lems, or at those Latin Conjuga- tions.” We shall recall the fun at the school dances, and of the never-to-be-forgotten thrills ex- perienced in athletic contests — those athletic contests which tried to teach us to face prob- lems as good sports in future life. If all this is true, let us try to help keep up the school stand- ing, and to co-operate with each other in enjoying school life. Now, also, may I add to this my wishes for you all — a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Kempton J. Coady, Jr., Editor-in-Chief. The Art Of Doing Nothing The best liked and most popu- lar of the arts, I believe, is the art of doing nothing. People who glory in this art don’t consider it as such, but just as an idle pastime. The culprit caught in the act of doing nothing is often scorned by his observers who little realize that they, too, be- long to this society. Everyone at some time or an- other indulges in this art, whether he realizes it or not. Two types are very conspicuous, those who lounge in chairs day- dreaming and others that look just half-unconscious. The per- son who is an experience d “artist” pretends he is doing something — like reading a book — while he really isn’t. If you are caught in act of doing nothing when you should be doing something, don’t feel like an outcast. After all you are not the only one who does the wrong thing at the wrong time. But remember that there is a time and place for every- thing, and this golden rule ap- plies to doing nothing as well as it does to doing something. Harriet Wheeler, ’40. Page Thirteen
