T IS the little things of our school life that we remember, though we know that they do not actually constitute our education. Still there are things we may remember long after actual lessons are forgotten. We shall never forget singing carols in the hall at Christmas time, the pageant, Greek Games, and Commencement. We shall always remember these things, but there are many more which we may forget, many things which seem unim- portant now but which at one time added a touch of pain or amusement to our days. Do you think that in the future when we look back on our life at Ox- ford we shall recall such things as the rather stale sandwiches which we ate at recess, the gravel in our Greek Games sandals, and the crisp black mous- taches which were glued to our protesting upper lips for the Christmas pageant? Will We forget the Valentines we sent to our teachers, the pictures we drew on countless blackboards, and the masculine chuckles brought forth by our antics at the father-daughter dinner? Then too, we may remember the time an over-bold cow, intruding on a group of us at the fall picnic, was quickly put to Hight by a battery of popcorn balls, and the time we earnestly conducted an experiment in the lab and nearly blew 05 all our eyelashes. We probably all remember buying back our own shinguards at the pound sale and the times we've dozed in the library on a Monday morning only to become fully alive when we discovered we were sliding into the waste- basket. Yes, we all remember those things, possibly because we felt so silly. Such a number of small things happen that we really can't remember them all. Perhaps we didn't even notice them at the time but they were there-soft giggles in-study hall, tears at Commencement, a lonesome wet sock in the shower room, glee club notices tacked to the bulletin board, someone humming Stardust off key in the hall, and chocolate chip ice cream for lunch, deficiency lists each Thursday and lipstick at three on Fri- days, red pencil marks on our geometry papers and posture exercises that left us collapsed and limp on the Hoor. We know we shall never forget the bumps on our knees after we had roller-skated to school for a few weeks. And we shall remember toboggan slides in winter and sunburns in May, a taped-up hockey stick and the ink spots on our old sneakers, book reports and height-and-weight cards, immediate slips, pound bills, angora mittens and lunch lists and- We shall remember these things long after school and lessons are over and forgotten. We hope we shall remember them-they were fun, weren't they? Q Isl
