Commencement Number TPI E R E D A N D B L A C K Page Nineteen ' We Humans According to scientists today, we humans are as much animal as any of the well known inmates of the zoo. Yet, when we look at an animal and consider his capacities, we wonder if they ern be rlght. If this is true, why should one group of animals have advanced so far as to be able to travel from place to place by aeroplane, oz' hear a musical concert five hundred miles away over the radio, or see something that happened a year or so ago by means of the movie, while the rest of the animals are concerned merely with getting enough f Jed or with finding a sheltered place to sleep? What factor differentiates so widely two mem- bers of the same great family? Among other character- istics, this startling fact can be largely attributed to two that exist in the human mind but which are absent from all other animals. The first is a spirit of unrest, or dis- content, the second, a mixture of boldness, foresight and darlng. YVhen nature constructed the human mind she placed there a feeling of dissatisfaction. Because of this charac- teristic, men refused merely to hunt, eat, and sleep, calling that life. They desired to rise above the acivities common to all animals as the essential factors. So then, as they advanced, there developed a conjuctive spirit of daring as the natural outcome of their characteristics discontent. The combination of these two factors has made civilization progress more perhaps than anything else, they prompted men to make the last as well as the first step. -Richard White. What Afterwards One of the greatest vocations a woman may undertake is to me that of social service. This includes work in settle- ment houses and efforts for community betterment. To Americanize foreignersg to remedy home conditions averse to good health and morals: to educate children to more worthwhile living-seem the noblest services a girl can render to her country- and to humanity. Counselling the large numbers of girls working in factories and mills pre- sents a rare opportunity to those interested in welfare work. I have mentioned business, medicine, and social service as some of the fields a woman may seek. I have omitted many other positions which are just as alluring and valuable. So the girl of today need have no fear of being crowded out of the great world of action-for We talk about a woman's work As if it had a limit There's not a marriage, death, or birth There's not a service of true worth But has a woman in it. -Margaret Jones. Forget-Me-Nots Silently, one by one, In the note books of the teachers, Blossom little zeros, The forget-me-nots of the pupils. The Midnight Meeting The big town clock had just boomed out twelve great strokes when all the school clocks assembled in the olee. The meeting will now be called to order, said the Ofiice clock, as chairman. The first report will be given by the Study Hall Clock. The Study Hall clock began his report. Many amusing things happen in the Hall. Sometimes I have to put my hands over my face to keep from seeing them all. Of course, from my position, I can see all that goes on. When those Freshmen and Junior High people send notes to their best friends, they look rather fearful, yet innocent. The Juniors can send notes without Miss Connor's watchful, eye seeing them, but the Sophomores haven't learned the trick yet The Seniors, however, are the most daring of all. Lewie O'Shea can send a note as easily and innocently to its destination as he did the basketball to the basket. Notes are not the only things which fly arond Study Hall. Some- times B-B shot are felt if not seen. Although Miss Connor doesn't always see those who are so quiet during rollcall, I know who they are. Next it was the turn of the Gym clock to speak. I always supposed that students learned to march in gym, but that isn't true the Seventh Period on Mondays and Wednesdays. Most of them haven't even learned which is their right and which their left hand. And when they play baseball, my goodness! They hit at the ball so hard that they fall down, and when they do hit it, they forget to run. When Mr. Beebe plays short stop, there isn't even a chance of reaching first base. But I am not the only one who enjoys the game, for Mr. Shamp and Mr. Brandt often laugh so hard that they have to depend on the wall for support. After that, the Library clock spoke, They are usually sa busy in the Library that they don't have time to write notes. Many a time, however, there, are some with their nose in a story book, who should have it in a history book. If you want to have a good laugh, come into the Library the Seventh Period, when Lewie, Chuckie, Wart and Basso get together, it is enough to make anyone laugh. Since my hands tell me that it is getting rather 1ate, said the Oiiice clock, the remaining reports must be given another time. - . Radio I called my love by radio In hopes that she would hear, I asked her if she'd marry me, And closed it, Billy dear. Oh sad is my predicament,- Indeed a sorry mess: When I turned on my receiver, I heard forty answers, Yes, - Leonard Ingles. If we are to help others, what are the others here for? 1 F!9'

Here are the common, best loved flowers, which you may pluck and carry away by the armiul. Here are weeds also. They creep into the best of garden, more subtle in fragrance, more lasting in their satisfaction, which are well worth searching out. Here are also the grains and herbs of the field, humble and plain, but useful and necessary. All these, for refreshment, for wisdom, for growth, are freely and abundantly yours. A garden is a happy place and a library is a garden. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
