S SALLY PEPPWS DIARY EXPRESS YOURSELF, MY DEAR! Dedicated to the Girls and Boys of 4B Thoughtful observers of present educational trends must wonder whether the noisy advocates of self-expression are underestimating, if not overlooking, the importance of another fundamental principle of human conduct: that much must always go unexpressed, much be felt but not spoken, if civilization is to continue. Must we not, before exercising this vaunted self-expression, learn to repress, to suspend judgment, to face reality, to adjust ourselves to life, to control our emotions in triumph and in defeat? After all is said, does it not seem that this exhibitionistic ex- pression so highly extolled in thoughtless camps, is often the very opposite of expression, the indisputable evidence of mental and emotional incoherence? The mainspring must be properly wound and kept under tension before it will perform its invaluable service on the dial of the clock, the turbulent floods must be held in leash by the dam before they will perform their all-season service to in- dustry and agriculture. Before we shout too eagerly for self-expres- sion must we not educate ourselves to the happy state where we have something worthy to express? Self-expression will then be both beautiful and fitting, not mere egotistical display, gratifying to the individual but of doubtful value to others. E. C. MCEACHERN. Monday-Up betimes, and did profess much disgust at begin- ning a new week of school, whereupon my dear mother did reply that I had better hurry and get out if I did not wish to help with the washing. And so to Central, where I did have some difficulty ex- plaining to Mr. Campbell why I had not my Trig. prepared, and he did inform me that anyone with a brain as dead as mine did belong in a morgue. Whereupon I was ejected from class for replying, with ready wit, that I was in a morgue. Did decide that Monday should be abolished. Tuesday-Up betimes, to find the sun shining brightly, and did hasten to school, feeling that it was indeed a beauteous day, until I did chance to view my worst enemy clad in a dress just like mine whereupon I did feel that my day was ruined. So home, to learn we would partake of lemon pie, and my spirits did rise accordingly. And so, much later, to bed. Wednesday-Up betimes, and did suggest to my dear father that he might loan me 31 on next week's allowance, but was not surprised when he did reply in the negative. Did have my essay returned, and Miss Macmillan did remark that it was even worse than usual. Whereupon I did feel squashed. And so home, to listen to Fred Allen, whom I did find exceedingly unfunny. 43

Thursday-Up betimes, and at my dear mother's request did make the toast, which everyone did reject because of its dark hue. So to school and did borrow a kind friendls Latin prep, thereupon amazing Mr. MCE3ChG1'11, when I did translate a portion thereof which did seem to be missing from the text. He did explain gently that my translation was an exceedingly old one whereupon everyone did laugh save me, and so home. Friday--Up betimes, and did feel very merry at the thought that this was the last day of misery. So to school, where I did spend an extremely dull forenoon what with the collection of two detention slips for inattention. Did skip at recess in the afternoon, whereupon my friend and I did view Greta Garbols most recent cinema, which did seem exceptionally sad. And so home, where I did prepare for the dance. Did have a hilarious evening, and was ejected, in company with my dear companions, from a cafe, when the worthy proprietor did decide that we had thrown an excess of sugar lumps. So to bed. Saturday-Up betimes, when 1ny dear mother did announce that it was nigh 11.30, and would I please rouse my lazy bones. Did comply, and spent the day in visiting the shops. Did quarrel with my gentleman friend in the evening, whereupon I did decide to become a man-hater. Sunday-Up betimes, in due time for lunch, and did spend a very profitable day in eating chocolates and reading a most stirring romance. Did soundly slap my young sister, who had indeed made serious inroads on my makeup, by applying it to sundry portions of her anatomy. And so, protestingly, to bed. 4B-IN REVIEW The personnel of 4B is varied, but all are famous Cor should we say notorious?j for something. Do you recognize them? George Withrow- All I desire is fame.
