WE WERE TOLD THAT.. Love is the grandest thing! The most glor- ious feeling of exaltation in the world. When our chief thoughts are of another and his thoughts of us, we are not to be found moan- ing because of nasty weather, wrathful tempers, involved physics problems, or even exams. We merely sit here, audreamy, distant smile on our lips, and watch the semi-visible teacher struggling to maintain her reputation of pierc- ing all numbness. Oh, but what a pleasant know that our cer- soothing numbness-to tain one feels that way about us. This sensa- tion is truly heaven! Ah, me. FRANCES ALFORD, Senior. To me, a glamor girl is only a diversion. She may be defined as a female who appeals to the eyes of males. The latter may be diverted by the former until they realize that the glamor is only a coating, mostly of paint, powder, and long hair. If a man were to be caught in a rainstorm with a glamor girl, I doubt whether he would bother to help her home, once the rain played havoc with her. One of the requirements seems to be to pre- sent a curvaceous appearance in a bathing suit. It is understood, though, that she poses only on the edge of the water-never in it. At evening. in moonlight and soft shadows, she thrives most alluringly. She has time only for being late and lazy and living up to her reputation. A glamor girl can't last long because she either marries and loses her charms. or she grows too old and loses her What I think of a dictator, in my mind, is the same thing as saying what I think of Hitler, which is plenty! I think he is a liar, a crazy fool, blankety-blank, etc. I could go on forever expressing adjectives to character- ize him. Personally, I think his rectangular- shaped moustache is revolting. And his hair- why does he persist in combing it forward? fOr does it grow that way?J In other words I don't care for dictators or their dishonest, scheming ways. Nevertheless, they must be rather clever to attain such high positions that they have complete power, and for that I will give them credit. ANN Gluswotn, junior. Life is the .state of being alive. It is ex- plained as vitality, sustenance, and energy. It's worthwhile, full of hope and aspiration. determination and newness. The broad-minded spend life well, using its resources with thought and exuberant thriftiness, while the other groups may use it wastefully, bringing crime and strife into its contact. Life, in an allegorical sense, may be personi- fied as money. By bargaining with it carefully, profit may issueg yet by spending it thought- lessly one may experience a loss. Life is the greatest thing we possess and possibly the only thing' we really own. As Napoleon said. The truly great are like meteors, they fall through darkness, consuming themselves in order to give light to the world. title. RACHEL HALL, junior. PATTY COCHRANE, Sophomore.
