Hut this class of people is a small one. and the majority—what of them? So many of our lines fall in the dull, routine paths instead of the pleasant places; so many stand on the side lines and cheer the leader on. finally joining iti the applause when the victor crosses the line. Yet. do they not serve, those “who only stand and wait?” Do these jiatient plodders not make possible the victory as much as the winner? There are so many little things that one can do to make living more worth while. These small, trivial services are accomplished by those who stav. and not by the “rolling stoneand these services are not drab and uninteresting if they are approached in the right way. “Anything it i worth doing at all. is worth doing well.

12 THE QUIVER So. classmates, when others apparently acquire more advantages, do not sulk, nor act as though you had never heard of sportsmanship; but smile back bravely, cheerfully, and join in the general applause, knowing in vour hearts that you helped to make the victory jjossible. “LEST WE FORGET” How quickly the years go by when one is in school! At first, we were inclined to l e timid, shy. and to stumble and mumble when spoken to. That happened in our Freshman year. How happy we were if a Jolly Junior or Sedate Senior noticed us! We lived within the Gates of Paradise for many days as a result of their thoughtfulness. Rut our Sophomore year we were apt to l)e a little condescending toward the young Freshman. How easily one forgets! How. then, can we say that we wish our kind parents would remember when they were young and foolish, when we forget the trials and tribulations which we underwent as Freshmen? When our Junior year rolled around, we found ourselves developing a chronic case of snobbishness towards the Freshy and “Soph. but we did our l est to fraternize with the lofty Senior. The Senior year, one’s viewpoint changes radicallv. As we now recall our earlier years, how we wish that we had l een kinder and more friendly; that we had thought less of ourselves and more of others! Since we realize, then, the foolish mistakes that we ha e made, let us profit by them, and use them as a warning not to make similar errors in our dealings with the men and women whom we shall meet in the years to come. PATIENCE Patience, they say. is a virtue. Whether or not it is. one finds it essential when in school. The teachers have this virtue and are continually using it with us when we stem unusually slow or stubliorn; but did we always use this same virtue when a teacher failed to understand our viewpoint r We generally gave it up as a bad job. and did not bother to elucidate. 1 hat
