Q ..... ..... ..... ...... ...... :RP ...... BP ...... ...... 25 ' a 4. Q. Four Years-Whoopee and Learning --- 'Q Q . . . gi From the time a Freshman bashfully and unsurely enters the auditorium for his 2. first high school chapel until that memorable night when he sits.on the. stage of that auditorium and listens to serious speeches about life, before receiving his diploma, he z spends four eventful years packed full of excitement, experience, learning, sorrowful dejection and ecstatic happiness. 1 . 1' The importance and carefree happiness of these years have been the subject of 2. thousands of speeches, plain talks and writings. How many times have all of us heard older people regretfully wish that they could live these years over again. gl All this is bound to impress that these years really are important, and that we Q should get the best possible use out of them before they are over and we are through 1' with them forever. rv How are we to get the best use out of these plastic years? What are We to do to form the right habits, and what shall we do to enjoy the youthful pleasures so often all mentioned? lb For one thing, it is safe to say that we make no mistake in having an abundance of good times and exciting pleasures, which can be enjoyed at no other time as well fp as in reckless and care-free youth. To go to the parties, school and private. To enjoy them to the fullest extent possible, by making a lot of unreplvessed whoopee, by QI entering into sociability with the rest of the gang and enjoying the short, sweet Q romances and the much talked of and highly entertaining puppy love. But there is a whole lot more time in these four years. Certainly, no one is going if to make a mistake by spending a reasonable amount of time studying and learning what he can from school work. The amount of learning received, and the habits formed gf in getting it, is certainly a strong factor in deciding whether a large percentage of Q hign school students are going to become old. narrow-minded codgers, who spend their lives in horribly dry routine existence of nothing but rigid domesticity and shopwork, 5 or whether they are to become intelligent and respected people, who live more inter- : esting lives, do more good and enjoy more variety of experiences, pleasures, travels, e and associations. High school people acquire book learning by making best possible use of instruc- tion offered in classes-it isn't necessary nor advisable to become a dry, uninteresting grind to do this-and by doing outside reading. Strange as it may seem to those who in . : havent tried it, a person can enjoy his study periods just about as much by studying : 1 as by trying his hardest to find some means of entertainment. And by spending tnose 5 periods this way, the student can nearly always get his lessons during schooltime and S have the evenings and all the rest of the time to do what he wants to do. gi By reading good books and magazines when there is very little to do, or when 5' usual means of entertainment seems dull, a person can obtain more intelligence. It is just another step which helps to raise one above the usual routine existence. A It is certainly well to follow the philosophy which does not allow one to take life too seriously. But during the four years spent in high school, one faces trouble and 3 problems which can be passed lightly, or which can be attacked regardless of thd 5 difficulties involved. It is the attacking of these difficulties that makes iron men like Lincoln. it is the leisurely avoidance of them, the lack of experiencing hard troubles, difficulties and some unhappiness that creates the incapable jellyfish type of man or WOIH an. Sf Q' It seems to follow that one suggestion for getting the best use of the much disf 5' cussed four years is to mix study, work, and forming of good habits with a lot of 1 lgood times and care-free pleasures. It is a pretty safe bet that if we do these things 5 to the best of our ability, we are not going to look back with remorse after ther fast R riding horseman of youth passes out of sight over the horizon to disappear forever. But that we will look forward to the next interesting chapter of life, at least partly prepared, and endeavor to live it as fully and as enjoyably as we did that of youth. -By Ted Cox gt fi Page six 5'LXfbf'YfS7Xfv7 xc'.bf Xf.bfKq52f XQFf3Q'F??Q5 ......
