SOMANHIS EVENTS BALLS OF WORSTED “Life is a ball of worsted Unwind it if you can.” On the eve of graduation we stand, ready to enter the broader school, each with his ball of worsted in his hand. Each one will eventually unwind completely the worsted that has already been started for him during his school career. But it is the manner of unwinding that will count. One will unwind carelessly, with no thought for system, and will soon find his worsted tangled. When he will have completely finished, he will have only a snarled mass of yarn. Another will unwind hastily, frequently breaking off the worsted. When the last of his worsted will have been unwound, he will have nothing for his labors except a number of short, broken pieces, not one of which will be long enough to be of any value. Still another will un- wind slowly and carefully, knitting the yarn as it is unwound. When he will have completed his task, he will have a substantial piece of knitting, — a ready for use. May each one of us, during our lives, unwind our balls of worsted in the last manner. Marjorie Smith 26 THE GOAL Have you ever heard anyone say what the salary of a noted explorer is? I will wager you have not. To an explorer a salary is but the means of obtaining material for a future jaunt or two. All of the notable conquests of the spaces have been the result of a man following a conviction to the point where he believed it to be proved, without any thought of mercenary gain. Explorers are not the only people who place their work above self-gain. Practically all successful artisans when they once begin a task work for art and art’s sake alone.
