EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT Leisure “Rest is not quitting the busy career, Rest is in fitting one’s self to one’s sphere. The good old summer time is here again, and already visions of the swimming hole and other inviting spots appear before our eyes. In a day or so school will be out, and three months of vacation will stretch before us. Have you thought of how you will spend this vacation ? At mention of this, long rows of ice cream cones come into your thoughts; hours of peaceful “snoozing”; dozens of picnics, parties, and automobile rides; cool moonlight nights; hammocks swinging in the breeze; the tinkle of ice in thin, frosted glasses and the music of a mandolin, wafted on a summer breeze. Not once does the thought of any “work” come into the pleasant dream. You never want to see another school book again—never! You don’t want to do anything but just know that there is nothing to do! But please remember that the

4 The Scribbler longer time you spend not doing anything will just make it that much harder to get back to studying in the fall. “A man is judged by how he spends his leisure.” How high will you be judged? Will you be at the bottom or at the top of the list? Playing is lots of fun, but it is even more fun when you mix it in with some good, hard work. Let’s all remember that our work is not finished on June the ninth, but that it goes on and on, forever. Seconds grow into minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and centuries. Don’t let time get away from you; for each second, with its share of work, when once lost can never be regained. Are you racing to keep up with time, or is time racing to keep up with you? Work is play when done in the right spirit, and “Time and tide wait for no man.” So let’s go! Dreams “In the magic of Springtime, dreams are changed into truth.” Dreams! We have always thought of dreams as intangible pleasures hardly ever realized. But now many of us who have worked hard this school term are finding that “in the magic of Springtime, dreams are changed into truth.” All during the year we have been dreaming, and now these dreams have been changed into glorious truths. The Senior’s dream of a diploma has become a reality and he stands now, proudest of all mortals, upon the threshhold of life. The Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, though they did not have as high an ideal as a diploma to dream of, have realized their dream, for vacation has come, offering freedom and restraint from school. Dreams do not become realities unless one is willing to work for their realization. It is good to dream, but one must have the energy and determination to make his dream come true. As we go through life, if we always dream of a higher and nobler life, we will never live it unless we work towards that ideal. Thus, by work, we find that dreams are not illusions, but facts. So through the summer months, let us dream of a bigger and better year in school the next term than ever before, and, when school does re-open, do not keep on dreaming but work and make that dream come true.
