Six-thirty A.M. is hardly an early enough time for rising, ten P.M. is too early a time for retiring, and this because there are so many things to be done in a Saint Ed- ward's day. The round of classes is taken for granted, one has to do those things. But life really begins at three in the afternoon. Then begin those activities too numerous to mention. But these activities fit into our theme of two sides to ever story . Sometimes the two sides of even the surface of these activities are missed. Behind each activity lay hours of faculty planning and organizationg equipment does not appear , it must be purchasedg teams do not show up 3 arrangements must be made before hand, a play or a band concert is not put on , it is rehearsed for weeks beforeg a Science Exhibit isn't had , it is the result of weeks of calculated preparation. But over and above these considerations are the underlying purpose of the activity: to give the stu- dent an outlet for positive, constructive energies. An activity' provides him with a real-life opportunity to display his hidden talents, his inward set of values, his undiscovered potential for self-control and self-discipline S all of those things which life in the every-day-world will sooner or later call forth. It is in the realm of activities that the undiscovered self most frequently and honestly reveals itself.
