(fib iEmiugl) to a (EtjUii As we age we gain the worldliness we looked for as children, we tend to lose the happy, carefree nature young, inexperienced people seem to have. This loss is a definite cause for grief to us, as knowledge and maturity seem to come hand in hand with woes and worries. A sad condition, yes; but one that appears inevitable. Fortunately, it only appears that way, as many of our students proved with their child-like antics and activi- ties throughout the year. For instance, when fall came, although we fought to restrain that urge within us to run screaming through the yard and jump into a pile of leaves, or fall from the barn rafters into a stack of hay, almost invariably the battle was lost and all adult formalities were thrown aside for a brief moment of youthful ecstacy. Winter’s wondrous whiteness and dazzling brightness spurred the con struction of snow forts and those mar velous creatures known as snowmen As we became engrossed in the fan tasy world of moldable whiteness sleds were drug out and no one seemed to care at all what others thought of their seemingly childish and uncultured actions. Ice skating and snowball fights, no matter how often we fell or were splattered with a well-aimed missile, became favorite pastimes. By the time spring came, we had such a build-up of energy from the confinement of winter's heavy clothes and short days, that even as the buds of the first crocuses burst forth, so we exploded with an urgency and excite- ment typical of a gleeful child turned loose on a world full of wonders and awesome happenings; joining in the Easter egg hunts and running bare- foot. Of course, summer brought the end of school which always causes an immediate jubilation to rise among the student body and staff alike. Water fights, baseball, and swimming were suddenly in style. This return to our younger days of joyous fun was much enjoyed, and no shame was felt over losing the sup- posed dignity and sophistication per- sons of our ages are expected to have. A little childishness helped relieve the pressures we must bear in day-to-day life, and was a switch from the monot- ony of adulthood. 7 Childish Antics 11
