EXCHANGES Our exchanges are increasing in number and we are proud to note the many good High School publica tions. We find that the old saying of “little but loud” is truly carried out in this particular. The larger college papers are not always the best. “The Tiger,” a Mercedes High School pub lication and “The Stampede,” a Dallas High School publication are certainly good quality which no doubt is the result of a cooperative staff. The Cornhusker Countryman” the University of Nebraska paper at Lincoln, Nebraska is our latest addi tion. To those of you who receive our publication we ask you to get the spirit of reciprocration. Let us hear from you in the way of material. Good papers function two ways, we are benefitted and we hope you will be. WHAT’S THE USE? I am a senior, registered for the last time—oply four short months of the four long years left. College, what a glamor it had in the high school days. I thought then when I had finished college I should be ever so brilliant and talented. Oh, you know those bubbles, air castles, every human makes. It is nearly over and I am glad. I feel that four years of college will broaden a man much more than four corresponding years in public life. I have not found the foot of the rain bow. I have only gotten a vision. But oh, the burning restlessness that has come over me at times— to be out experimenting for myself. Why in thunder must a man hew to four years of parroting from books. Sure, that is it, some one conceived the idea that such a sacrifice of time and patience deserved a reward—a dip loma. Maybe four years of college helps the large average—I hope so. I heartily recommend college training to all who can manage to get it. But more, the big thing in “what’s the use,” it seems to me, is that a fresh man comes to college pretty much of a boy; he leaves after four years, pretty much of a man. He learns to think for himself; and after all, true education is found only by individ ual—curious, purposeful—searching, experimenting, thinking. DECISION Ladies fair, from every clime, Lovely girls from Nome to Spain, Damozels, with form divine, Bath-tub girls (who said cham pagne ? ) Tall and slender, otherwise, Blondes and brunettes, auburn hair, Girls with dark mysterious eyes, Grey eyed girls who never care. Yet I’ve failed on earth to find Any girl who knows her mind. LIFE Work a little, Play a little, Eat a little. Sleep. Talk a little. Walk a little, Give a little, Keep. Sing a little, Weep a little, Smile a little, Moan. Love a little, Hate a little, Laugh a little, Groan. Read a little, Write a little, Learn a little, Try. Watch a little, Wait a little, Comes time to Die. A BIT OF ADVICE Do not look for wrong or evil, You will find them if you do; Seek not fault in other people. Lest they fault will find in you; Give a smile to those who need it, And a hand to those who fall; Sure, you’ll never need to rue it, For a friend you’ll be to all! —Marion M. Mullican.
