McCLURE LAURA LEE EVANS SELF PITY The countless thousands moaning, O, cursed spite that I was ever born to set it right,” might profitably cease lamenting long enough to count what they might be doing to alleviate the darkness of this inevitable pit toward which they seem to be whirling. The continuous assumption that one is under an unjust and fate-drawn handicap really becomes a self-handicap. Shakespeare regarded this tendency sufficiently to use it as the theme of one of the world’s greatest tragedies. DE FACULTATE You surely remember the time when you saluated your teacher in the morning with a wonderful bouquet of roses, and that afternoon pasted or drew the comical caricatures of her on all the neighboring board fences. You regarded her then as a scholastic quack whose professional activity demanded your presence and an attitude of strained attention. How do you regard her now? Perhaps in the upper grades the light begins to dawn, and you come to regard her as your friend and adviser, acknowledged among the most satisfactory friends your high school course has known. A WISH FOR YOUR VACATION The most of us have already begun our vacation in our minds eye. We can see a cottage down on the gulf, see Aunt Mary's Seven Gables” down in the country, see ourselves toiling and spinning something for next winter’s store, or reaping the harvest of idleness we have been sowing these last two semesters—summer school. Then let us chant: ’’What 'ere the fuss, it seems to us. How ’ere you may deploy it To fit the punishment to the crime Still—thoroughly enjoy it.”
