MARCH: “In like a lion and out like a lamb.” Re¬ port cards caused those growls that issued from our various rooms about one o’clock on March 3. But then again this month brought that “thrill that comes once in a life¬ time.” You don’t know what it is? Just look below to March 13th and tell us if it ever happened to you.

We need it for the O. L. I.” Now, I ask you, what is any Senior’s ambition? To graduate, of course. Prospects for baseball season and announcements of Junior Prom hold much more attraction for us now. Ambitions will come later.

“Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion’d thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch’d unfledg’d comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear’t that th’ opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” iiamlrt: Art 1, S»r. 3. 16
