The Chipmunk 5 ADAPTATION Summer has been full of bright, happy vacation days, with not a responsibility in the world to burden our minds. But these days pass all too quickly, and Fall approaches like a herald to summon us to a different phase of life. We work among our books and our old companions, leaving behind us all the thoughts of carefree summer as we strive to adapt ourselves to the work which we have undertaken. It is a little difficult, perhaps, but we master it with earnest effort and the assistance of our teachers. Although our teams have not been active in organized sports dur- ing the hot, lazy summer, the mellow brisk days of autumn have inspired them with a felling that it is time they were up and doing. They go out to reap their harvest, and returning lay sheaves of victory at our feet. As Mother Nature is changing her bright green cloak to one of rich russet and yellow ,we girls and boys are flocking to school dances, in the gayest apparel and with spirits that flame high as we make our new recreations as enjoyable as those of the summer from which we have just turned. We take up our new offices and become familiar with the various duties connected with them, making many mistakes, but at least learn- ing to fill them efficiently. We join new clubs, and gradually become acquainted with the people with whom we work. A spirit of good will is felt everywhere. As the days pass, we find that we have grown accustomed to this new phase of life, and have adjusted ourselves to our responsibilities. And before we know it we are confronted with the fact that it is time to purchase warmer togs.
