Playing happily and care-free as the birds of the air, youth dances and sings for the joy of life, stor¬ ing bright memories for the future. Sally Spring could well be called a corrupt¬ ing influence in tke lives of Park College students, but, as a matter of fact so could Walter Winter, Amanda Autumn, and Sbirley Summer. These pals of ours have no studies on which to concentrate, no family work to do, and they positively never worry about their grades. Yet they can never stay out of our way, and are constantly asking us to come over to their backyard to play. One leafy, aromatic morning while I was in the midst of a very difficult passage of Milton s Paradise Lost I heard the phone jangle, and hurriedly ran to answer it. Much to my chagrin it was Sally who breathed a honeyed hello into the mouthpiece. Come over for a few minutes, won t you? Denials were of no avail so I went. The Spring’s estate was lovely. The forsythia bushes were in bloom, and shy little crocuses made little splashes of color on the fresh green lawn. The perfume of the white lilacs was overpowering and 1 began to feel so strange. Sally looked at me, put her soft, white hand on my head, and said. Young man, you have Spring Fever. She then told me of all the other Park stu¬ dents of her acquaintance who were afflicted in like manner. Her prescription was two hours of loafing. WLat did I do? I loafed. Next day I was awfully ashamed of myself for having given in so easily to temptation, and I decided to spend the day in solitude with to do were two different things. About two o clock in the afternoon I heard a terrific com¬ motion on the driveway. When I looked out I saw Walter s car. With him in the front seat were Shirley and Amanda. The rumble seat was filled to overflowing with a toboggan, a surf board, and a streamlined bicycle. They pounced on me, jammed me in the rumble seat, told me to hold tight, and roared out of the driveway. We spent a marvelous afternoon loafing, basking brown in the sun, surf-boating on a sky-blue lake, diving from a sixteen foot tower, imitating whales sending up geysers of water; this was ideal relaxation. Later on we cycled down a red and gold arched street to the Bide- a-Wee Inn and sipped frosty phosphates. All this was intermingled with easy conversation. What I enjoyed most of all was the toboggan¬ ing. The slide was thrilling, the air was tangy and cold, and the sky a pale icy blue, and our toboggan had the wings of the wind. Our day ended with a huge campfire picnic with all the trimmings, and Amanda had brought her guitar so we sang all the songs we had ever known. I had spent such a perfect afternoon loafing that it was hard for me to break up the party. However, I pleaded a headache and made my three idle friends take me back to my dormi¬ tory—then the bell for seventh hour rudely awakened me from my perch on the Library steps and I rushed off to class.

May I have a Gates, or perhaps it’s a Muzzy history book. The librarians not only check out books, but have inventory, cataloging, and re¬ ports to make. 1 he laundry supervised by Mrs. W. T. Young supplies the rest of the campus with clean table cloths, napkins, towels, and bedding. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then dishes to do—-each requires a different group of workers. The college print shop under the direction of Mr. Grattan does all the college printing, including the Park Stylus and the college catalog. Mums in the fall, sweet peas in the winter, tomatoes in the spring, are a few of the things supplied by the Park College Greenhouses. The general force, guided by Boss Goodwin, plant the trees, shovel coal, clean the snow from the sidewalks, and mow the grass.
