“YOUR DRUG STORE”
THE PAN j
By D. B. McNerney
The “book” is gradually closing—
so suppose we turn back a few
pages and uncover some of the out
standing mistakes that we have
committed throughout the narra
tion of the story that forms our
expiring school year.
To enumerate them would be- —
well-nigh an impossible task and,
too, while we recollected, there
might be found many things which
would have been far better off for
gotten. It is for our own personal
gain, however, that we may point
out the danger spots and in doing
so, map out a more successful plan
for the coming year.
Our initial point—
of attack, quite naturally, is that
body of camus aristocracy familiar
ly known as the Senior class. The
group of men who close their col
lege careers with the coming of
June 1931, should be commended
rather than critized at this happy
time of their lives insomuch as it
is customary to send the graduates
away with a slap on the back rath
er than a viciously applied kick, al
though the latter might possibly
send us further if properly placed
so as to not unseat our self-con
fidence too much.
The present Seniors—
deserve praise for having spread a
greater feeling of fellowship than
their predecessors had evidenced.
The petty faults are numerous and
can only be discovered by a study
of the individual, which we must
carry on with this important idea
in mind, that is, this is not West
Point, nor a petty high school, for
that matter, although many of us
forget the former with sudden as
sumption of responsibility and fail
to acknowledge the latter for fear
of ridicule.
This year’s Juniors—
have displayed a greater feeling of
liberty than usual, much to the
grief of the authorities, at times.
There have been attempts made to
curtail these wanton youths by giv
ing them more responsibility and
less privilege but this has been
nothing more than an unbalancing
of the scales of simple justice which
has a tendency to rub the fur the
wrong way, result; wrangling and
less cooperation. This state of af
fairs has brought out many things,
and it will be interesting to observe
the results next year.
To ridicule or praise—
the other two classes might be un
fair either way, as neither as a
class has developed a distinguish
ing characteristic in two short
short years. Many new ideas have*
been introduced with the coming
of ’33 and ’34 men. We hope they
will be better because of them. It
is a difficult matter to push aside
tradition especially when so much
is observed and -cherished. Wise is
the man who can blend the old and
new, securing therefrom the prop
er and desirable mixture of ideas.
A tradition should not be “scrapp
ed” simply because it may be a bit ]
discomforting to one particular
group. Suppression of any pre
mature outgrowth of egotistical
“self-knowledge” that is typical of
youths beginning college, is often
desirable. Rather than abandon the
idea, it might be better to seek less
crude means of application.
