Y es, speaking of “long grinds,” who will forget that “shindi atter exams just for the purpose of making the “grind” short ous. That idea of having a sleigh-riding party was fine, hut hardly hy a group of fellows living in Indiana. The weather interfered this matter of the winter sports, but then who cares about the practicable turned out to be so much better ? Sadly enough one dance could hardly last from the mid-yeai of course, there were some of those endless weeks and some more of skys. Just as the thoughts of approaching Easter began to counte matic conditions of the famous Hoosier county, the impossible har actuallv came out of hiding long enough to gather sufficient clouds or two during the festivities that invariably attach themselves to We were even tempted to take a photograph of some rain to above picture, but we finally had to use a parade as the thing nex in the quality of being typical. Everything came as usual, includi at twelve and the “Star-Spangled Banner” at about two o’clock, gram besides the dance was there, of course, but entirely unnec cadets were concerned. The time since then hasn’t seemed so long, in fact it has hardl The first class exams happened along, and then came easy days, ha I spent most of my time on “the grounds.” They certainly look wc thing is in bloom and the leaves are on the trees.

Y es, the coming; back wasn’t quite as pleasant, although it vas much faster. The andalia was “on time’’ for the first time in the history of Culver, or at least since my trip back in the Fall. I had to walk up from the station, in spite of the several taxi companies that make a business of pre ’enting just such things. 1 wanted to get inside mighty badly when 1 caught-sight of the old place, but still things looked mighty unin¬ viting under a leaden Indiana sky. ' Athletics fortunately started soon after Christmas and kept us interested at least on Saturdays. The teams all did mighty well, now that I look back. There was the championship basketball team, the record-breaking track team, the bone-breaking boxing team, and the swimming team that went to the Yale Interscholastics and brought back third place against some of the best competition in the country. Oh, yes; 1 nearly forgot that little matter of the mid-year exams. Thet- were bothersome to say the least, especially to some of our members. Who forgets Captain Parker’s English quiz, or some of the “little foolers’’ put out by the Modern Language Department? We do not take Virgil, or we might even mention some of the easy questions that must be answered by those who are foolish enough to try speaking a dead language. There were others, too, but wby think of such things when the “grounds” are covered with June-mad First Classmen and surrounded with First-Classmen-mad underclassmen. After this came a long, dull period of hard work and depressing weather. There wasn’t much interesting to think about except the number of days until June, and that became less and less each day. It is no wonder that period has been called tbe “long grind.” Just tbink that we won’t have a chance to test that terminology next year. What a life! We’ll have to get up at least by ten-tbirty, and be sure to come in often enougb to pay the monthly bills. I Tii ' cnt ’thrcc J
