THE COMING SPRING Gardens rich in bloom; a soft wind, ' gently whispering in the green fields. Water, sparkling in the brilliant radiance of the sun; sweet air filled with a new, fresh fragrance. The chastened voices of Nature ' s happy minstrels, bursting into song--the coming spring will contain all this. Spring ' s tumult of vivid beauty fills all Nature once again with a rich, glowing hope--the world grows old and then young again but humanity, with the coming of each spring, revives the hope for improve¬ ment. - Eleonore Wiebe THE DISADVANTAGES OF EARS Wake up, are you sitting on your ears ! Have you ever been so rudely jerked from fantasy back to stark reality when you were con¬ centrating on more important things than Mathematics? When you come to think of it, there are many disadvantages of having ears. To some people the statement in the first paragraph is literally true. They have such big ears that they resemble cabbage leaves 1 ' more than human ears. Think of how much unnecessary space you have to wash every morning. You not only waste water but time also. These protruding appendages always seem to get frost-bitten more readily that any other part of you. The first thing I notice about people is their tense, singular ears. And usually I judge people ' s personalities by the appearance of their ears. Someone with tiny ears is usually considered stingy. Someone who has the misfortune of having enormous elephant ears is con¬ sidered a generous person. However, this stands to reason because this person has to make up for the deficit in his personality in one way or another. Have you ever had the memorable experience of cutting the air in a graceful swan dive and then having this act of perfection spoiled because when you hit the water your ears drank up the water like a thirsty camel? When you surfaced again, two streams were flowing from your ears. Ears a disadvantage? Of course they are. I have only mentioned a few of the many disadvantages that come to my mind when I think of the topic The Disadvantages of Ears . - Lois Heinrichs
