CHEi.MsFoaD HIGH ScHooL FISHING Every boy has at one time or another been fishing. Perhaps he had only a freshly cut birch sapling with a string and a pin, or, if a little more fortunate, Dad's cast'off rod and reel, but he went fishing, and that's the main thing, for he has become a par' ticipant in one of America's greatest out' door sports. He has become, literally, one of the thousands of sportsmen who take to the streams and ponds when the open sea' son arrives, in quest of the wily trout, bass, pickerel, and bullhead. He has been initiatf ed into the worldfold order of those who know, as they think, where the prize specimens of their favorite species are hid' ing, and who hold that knowledge a secret from the world. There is something about this sport that can be matched by no other. It comes part- ly from the feeling of being out early in the morning as the sun is just raising its scarlet head above the huge, solemn pines. It comes partly from the sound of the lit' tle wandering brook that gurgles its way among the mossy rocks down to the deep, dark pools below. It comes partly from the tang of the frosty atmosphere and the thrill of a fighting brookie thrashing about on an end of a seven foot leader, his splendid body leaping and whipping the blackish waters of the pool. Yes, there certainly is a thrill in fishing that can not be equalized by anything else in this world. But the actual fishing is not the only fun that comes from this Hne sport, nor is its enjoyment merely seasonal. There is the fun of poring over tackle on a cold winter's night by the fireside. There is the gloating over a finely varnished bamboo rod, a ma' roon-colored automatic reel, and a hundred varifcolored flies. And can one fail to men' tion the pleasure that is in the pages of simple sporting magazines, where the search for new and better tackle is never ending. To me the pleasantest invitation in the world is, Let's go fishing! Horus WILKINS JR. '47 SCI-IGOLDAYS Do you recall your first day in school, when you entered the first grade classroom with your mother by your side? Do you remember how everyone laughed and talked, and how selffconscious you felt as you walked into the room? The boys had on new knickers, with white shirts that weren't too white when they returned home because of a fight in the school yard with a new friend or spilled milk at lunch time. The girls had on new dresses and wore long pigtails tied with big bows which were no advantage because boys just loved to tease girls by pulling their pigtails or putting them in nearby ink wells. The next few days of school were not as difiicult as the first because you were getting used to the routine, and maybe you liked the teacher a lot better than you did the first day. Maybe you even liked her enough to bring her an apple at one time or another. The days and the years soon passed, and the boys went from knickers to long trouf sers and started to use hair tonic on their hair. And the girls went from long pigtails to curls, and into skirts and sweaters. Then you graduated from grammar school and started high school, the best years of your life. More years have passed and soon you will graduate from high school, and some day you will recall all the silly and nice things you did in high school. Not yet, but some day, today will be a lovely memory and you'll say, Remember when-? and you will sigh, remembering. LILLIAN Ramon '47 MY FAVORITE SUBJECT What is my favorite period? Now lct me see, what subjects do I have? There's English? No, I'm afraid that isn't my favof rite. Mathematics? Hmm, I don't know, I'm not very fond of math, Well, that leaves me with economics, ofiice practice, history, and typing. Come to think about it, none of them seem to appeal to me at all! I wonder why I took them. Maybe there wasn't anything else, but that's be' side the point. Gee, I'm not getting very far! I can't seem to think right now that I like any' thing but study period. In study I can do anything I want to-well, almost anything. I can do homework if I have any left over, or if I am sick of school work, which with
