THE SEA BREEZE 4 In my estimation, there will be no settlement to these boundary questions, for as soon as one disagreement is smoothed out, another arises. The nations of the world are so selfish and greedy! They think only of themselves and of the land they can get by fair or foul means. They think nothing of bringing on war and killing millions to carry out their selfish enterprises. Some day Hitler will have gone far enough Some day the dem ocracies will come to realize that he has done too much and they will rise up against him and crush him Any country, who does as Hitler is doing in Germany, will finally come to ruin It behooves the United States to keep out of this European tur moil, altogether if it is possible M v SPRING FEVER When is school not schoolo Although that question may never have been medltated before, lt is a fact that there comes a tlme ln every student's life when school is not school Vhen is that joyous t1me9 It comes once a year and makes too brief a y1s1t It has a strange but m8gD1flC9Ht lnfluence on all who wltness 1ts magnetlc attractlon, but teachers and students beneflt especlally by lt lt lS when the buds burst open and the llttle brooks run full t1lt down the greenlng meadows It lS Sprlng, HFlDglH9 wlth it that strange ethereal malady Gprlng Fever Thomaston Ulgh School, being a typlcal school whose students never fall to become afflicted, wlll serve as an excellent example of what Sprlng Fever does when lt strlkes The hustle and bustle of grad uatlon preparedness, mlngled wlth the dreamy clutches of Sprlng Fever makes a pleasant, lf queer, COmblD3tlWD of emotlons, and the school bulges wlth people runnlng around wlth bewildered expresslons and startled smlles nS for those whom the blrth of a new world effects dlfferentlr, they s1t Nltf melancrol pGHSlUGHSSS ga lng Nlth vacant eyes at an up ide donn bo k across NhlCH a pattern of frlendly llght falls Jhen the breeae holds 1ts breath 1D the trees and a lone blrd chlrps a note of 8DtlClf3tlOH, the lanquld type of student ralses hls head and slghs, w1th spasmodlc repetltlons, tlll the cobwebs have retreated Then he takes a pencll from behlnd hls ear and dreamily wrltes a fem llnes of verse on a plece of scr p paper Teache s too, are decldedly changed t the new atmosphere, l though they seldom slnk lnto a torpar In fa t, they lsually beam a llttle more and assl n lessons cf smaller quantlty and content te thelr breathless puplls Perhaps they know that the mlnd 1 where the heart lS At any rate, they are eyen more otllvlous than usual of the notes that are smuggled, and passed, acros , up and down the alsles It lS because they are glad thelr school dutles are ne rly over for another year or do they sense also that rare nd lnfinlte feellng Probably we w1ll never know the answer but, at least, ve wlll beneflt from thelr benevolence Nhlle lt lasts , - I U - A 0 PD I C I i- .
