24 THE PILGRIM UP AND DOWN THE CORRIDORS EHE Seniors of next year will not have the vallued services of Miss Charlotte Brown. At the present writing, Miss Brown, who hasa year's leave of absence, is debating whether to take a course at Columbia, or accept a position in the Land of the Rising Sun. .Although we are the first to graduate from the new building, the Class of 1937 has had a bad effect on teachers. Immediately. after they struggled with us, the school has felt the loss of Miss Hayes, Mrs. Swift, and now Miss Brown . One student who hasn't received lower than an A on his card for four years assured us in history that the Shenandoah Valley flows northward. . . . Our dictionary of nick- names includes: the office, Grand Ho- tel , the broadcasting system, The In- former , the Roving Delegate, Monti, Sampson, Bob Boob, Cynthia, Flannel- feet, Baron, Dictator, Madhouse, lunch- room, Phyllis Johnson, Dizzy fdon't think the editors will allow that last onel. Who's Butch? . . .We heard that the S. A. S. President this name slips us for the momentl was around the yard picking up refugees .... A cheer for Mrs. Raymond for her now classical war cry, Come on, my College Entrance Beau- ties. . .Do you remember: the alumni Day Dance, our Sophomore Hop, the look on Billie's face when the chair broke in Class meeting, Morelli's attempts at basketball fQuel homme!l . . . What happened to Ryan's eleven bucks? ? ? the football? P. G. Chandler's lip? . . . We predict a bright and successful liter- ary career for Mary Bodell, a new dean of Harvard, a rowboat for Sampson, George White's admittance to the bar: the movies for Jeanette and Margie, an invention by Jones .... Jumbo should be a jockey! He and his horse could always win by a nose, huh? . . . With drivers like Curtin, Henry Ford needn't worry about selling cars! . . . An orchid fa la Winchelll to Mr. Packard for his noble, sympathetic, patient, and under- standing attitude with the Physics class. In your own words, sir, Carry on ! . . . Billie Petrell would be a good one from Whom to buy clothes. He'lfl give one suit. Th-e suit will include two pairs of pants, one black and one white, and two suit- coats, one white and one black. . .Who was the bright soul who thought Eddie Ton-g was a Chinese War? . . . Can you picture Kellen behind bars? In the bank, of course. Addyman. behaving? . . . We suggest a violin for Rudy if he continues to let his hair grow. Musicians can get away with it, Rudy ..... According to the high school fire fighting enthusiasts, a n-ew, r-ed, shiny truck to be on call at the hfigh scool would mfake a good class gift . . . Alan Bird Hey giving the right answers? And no-W for a longshot predfiction.- Beciause of so many re- quests we are venturing to guess who will be the first to preiix Mrs. to her name. As Dan Cupid seems to have smit- ten her hardest, and because her ambi- tion in the memory book backs me up, I pick Mary Weild to be the first married ! CI'll pay other claimants to hoid of and establish my reputation as a true proph- etl .Punkie's ambition isto be a nut Csays the memory bookl. Perhaps on Wat- son's car! . . . Does anyone ever remem- ber hearing the finish of the Armistice Day poem entitled Disabled ? . . . Tick- ets will soon be on sale for Ethel's first appeanance on the stage.

THE PILGRIM 25 PRINCIPAUS COLUMN S OON after I began the study of German while still a student in a preparatory school, I read a very simple story entitled Ungedank ist der Welt Lohn . The translation is, Ulngratitude is the Reward of the World . This story was composed of citations of several in- cidents, plausible enough to be credible, which tended to prove that the statement contained in the title was generally true. I was not ready at that time, neither am I ready now, to accept the declaration without reservation, for I know there are many, many people who have been sincerely grateful for help given in time of need. On the other hand, the following accounts, the truth of which I can vouch for through personal knowledge, might well have been included in the story. How would you feel if you had loaned a young man a substantial sum of money to enable him to procure a college educa- tion, only to observe that almost before he secured a position he appeared on the road with a brand new automobile and was apparently oblivious to the fact that he had any financial or moral obligation to discharge? Furthermore, how would you feel if the months and years rolled by and no attempt was made to repay th-e- loan or give any explanation as to why the loan could not be repaid? Wouldn't you be constrained to say as did the benefactor concerned in this case, I wonder if it was worth while? Again, you are in the grocery busi- ness. You have been established for a number of years, have a reputation for honest dealing, and have- served your neighbors and friends as customers. The chain stores come in and lure away their patronage. Then one of your former customers has a bit of hard luck and is temporarily unable to pay cash for his purchases. He, therefore, returns to you and asks that you extend to him the privilege of running a charge account, a request you readily grant. What hap- pens? When he regains his financial footing. your erstwhile friend again patronizes the chain stores, leaves you an indebtedness of approximately S200., and cairries his groceries home in a brand new car. Do you feel like doing it again? College men are often quite indiffer- ent to their obligations. I know that in one of our New England colleges only about one-half of the boys aided from the loan fund ever make any attempt to repay their borrowings. Thus they fail to meet their obligations squarely and prevent other needy students from getting assistance. I am compelled to believe that in- stances such as these I have related are typical and occur altogether too fre- quently. I am equally convinced that there are many other situations which offer a direct contrast to them and dis- close much happier conditions. I think there can be no question about which are the more desirable and commenda- ble. Admittedly every one works better, -with much more zest and greater sat- isfaction, if his eiorts are appreciated. A genuine Thank you is a tremendous help. But gratitude can and should ex- press itself in deeds as well as words. May I urge at this time when you are contemplating what the future may have in store for you after graduation that you include as an integral part of your philosophy of life an attitude of genuin-e appreciation? And may I urge further that you give due expression to that appreciation by fulfilling all obliga- tions and by transcending, if possible, the highest hopes of your friends, your well-wishers, or benefactors? I beseech you to do whatever you can to disprove the truth of the declaration that In- gratitude is the Reward of the World. WAYNE M. SHIPMAN Principal Who ever heard of a Cook without any meals?
