-'-+2-f Y zz c c a lie-- Students IN ASSOCIATING with students I have found that there are two widely different classes. Which of the two is the nearer perfect depends entirely on one's viewpoint. If anyone cares to go to college and spend all his time studying and always go to classes with his lessons prepared, I will allow him the privilege. I will even admit that he has as much right in college as the fellow who considers attendance at classes the price that he must pay for the social events and the sports. However, the two classes of students do not regard each other with any such democracy. The one who is in earnest about his lessons can not understand how the other gets along. How can this fellow, who has never studied, be the first one to finish the examination? The industrious fellow toils on. He gets a good grade. But our friend, John, who has not had time to learn about Napoleon, thinks that good grades are not worth so much effort. There is as much lack of understanding on the other side. When John goes to the field to practice football, he has a kind of contempt for Bill, whom he has left in the room trying to work the latest problem in physics. John has often asked Bill to go with him. But Bill always says that it is not worth so much time. I once heard a preacher say that if he were in college again he would be satisfied with lower grades and spend more time in social events and sports. I wonder if I can hear a former college athlete answer that all his football playing did not fit him for the life that he was later to live. If the minister and the former athlete could both be placed in college again, I am not sure that either of them would do much differently from what he did when the opportunity was given. I wonder if there is not something in our natures that makes one studious 'and sends the other out on the football field. No doubt these two classesYcan never be united into one. Yet I am almost per- suaded that the world would be greatly impoverished if it were to lose either of them. -BURTON YOUNG. DA Y DREAZVIS ' Someday, I will findfme a Prince Charming Or 11 hold young Loclzhinvar. We shall roam the world together, We shall watch .the evening star. We shall play 'that I was a princess In a tower lone and sad, And that he came and stole me Franz a witch that was 'very had. There will bea fairy Godnzother To bring happiness untold: She will help us find the rainbow- At its end the pot of gold. 1CATHERINE FREY. Page Seventy

----'H Y ll C c a Ft' I i I Athletics PHYSICAL EDUCATION is a vital part of every school. One cannot attain mental ef- ficiency without a healthy body. Now that there is new equipment in the Gymnas- ium, the girls are much more interested in physical training. For a school of this size, we are above the average in athletics. Altogether, we have had a very interesting year in Physical Education. -V. HABECKER. - The past year has been one of the greatest in history for the athletic department. By the athletic department we mean not only the games of skill, but the entire physical education activities. There have been outstanding years in one or two activities which we cannot compare with the past yearg but taking all things into consideration, it has been the greatest year in the history of the school, A great deal of improvement was made by way of new equipment and as we once again leave our Alma lllater, this closing school year of 1929, we feel a sense of pride and joy, that we each one had a part in her success. -W.
