THE P — 2 ON Friday the Philomathean Society met, and the next day it snowed, so the saying goes. Yes, but it was not flakes that fell. It might have snowed fakes, for the Platos make enough racket to break the floor and fall down upon us. Once the Platos did disturb a select meeting of the Philos. They did not come through the floor, but burst in the door. When they saw the dignified conduct of the Philos they wished that the floor might open and swallow them up. They have never “just dropped in” since. To go back to my original statement, it snowed. In the room stood the renowned Philo tree of wisdom which changes blossoms about once a week to agree with each mood of the girls. The tree makes lightning changes. Hut it snowed. The girls took their seats and the president called out in stentorian tones, “Order!” Another thing I admire about the Philos is—but it snowed—oh, that’ll come later—that there is no contention for honors. We always have our minds made up. One gets the position and there’s an end on’t. HILOS. Oh no, we are never stubborn—simply set in our ideas. We are jolly girls, too. We do not believe in devoting a lifetime under the tree of knowledge, but often turn down the broad path of pleasure. Now and then we stop for a party or a feast, yet return ever and anon to the protection of our wisdom tree. We, simple as we are in our habits, sweet though we may be in our manners, inspire a certain awe in the hearts of our fellow students. When we made bold to challenge the winners on the Plato-C. L. C. contest, you should have heard the petty excuses, the laughs from our worthy fellow colleagues. And why? Because of the fear the boys hold for us sisters. But now it snowed. A shower of leaves and hawthorn blossoms fell down like snow from the tree of wisdom. Leaves for the dear old Seniors whose days among us are numbered. I la, ha’s for the Juniors, who need a little laugh at their expense to take away some of their conceit. Thorns for the Sophomores who, though they want the highest branches trom the tree of wisdom, are so hindered by the thorns that they must remain in the ranks of mediocrity. And blossoms for the Freshmen, who, up to their high school life picked but the buds of knowledge. s -
