UITUHIHLS When someone asks, What class are you in? and you, be- ing of the privileged few, reply the First Class, do you add, It won't be long now, with visions of cast-out school- books supplying next winter's fuel? If so, school has just been to you a twelve-year supply of bitter pills, taken each night before re- tiring as a brain stimulant adequate to get your mind through the following day alive. Now you have no longer need for such a pre- scription and so the effects of the doses wear off and you settle back comfortably to watch life and its bright vistas of infinite enjoyment come floating by. Your time will be your own at last, to spend sleep- ing all day after an endless round of frivolous gaiety, and later with a moderately well-to-do husband, you will have little to worry about. How much better it is to look at these past twelve years as a box of assorted appetizers out of which three or four varieties have suited your taste better than others. In the lower school you learned how to remove the lid of the box, a.nd folding back the fiaps, you found the first layer of tid-bits. During the following three years, you experi- mented with this layer, tasting a sample of each comparatively simple variety, and in a like manner. by the end of three more years, you had tasted the more complex offerings of the bottom layer. Now you turn from this box, anxious to find another larger one which will contain only the highest quality of the preferred varieties. In short-hasn't school stimulated at least one interest for you that you are eager to develop? It may be some poetry you have stud- ied, some music or art, it may be a science or language, but surely there is some subject that has inspired you. I can hear you sighing with disgust, Another of these career women. No, you're wrong. You don't have to make it your life work, there are many classes and discussion clubs that married women join, and such outside in- terests do make life so much more interesting and exciting. So let's not fritter away the next few years waiting for fate to enliven our ex- istence. It's up to us to start to decide now how we are going to make the future unregrettable. S. A. S.
