STEREOTYPED PERSONALITY
LOST HORIZON
"Why don't we get joy out of
living? Because we've sold our
birthright of simple spontaneous
sincere emotion for a handful of
fashionable feathers and flap-
doodle." These words are rather startling
yet there is so much truth in them.
Read them again "we've sold our
birthright of sincere emotion."
At first those words may seem
queer and you may question their
reason. But how often do you let
go to spontaneous emotion? Do
you use words that are yours and
of your own originality or do you
copy those witty sayings that are
used over and over again by some-
one else?
Think of your clothes. ... Do
you dare to wear something that is
different or must you conform
to the fashion that is in vogue this
season? If you have designed
some very unusual creation do you
hesitate to wear it? Do you ever
think of a new way of spending
your leisure hours or do you do
the same thing over and over again
until you are bored with the whole
situation? until you "sell your
birthright? until you become a
stereotype personality?
So often people say ... "I like
that man he is so individualistic
that he is intensely Interesting."
"The lady has so much more origi-
nality in her personality that I
just enjoy being around her be-
cause she is so different." Yet
how many people do you know
who would fit this description?
And how would you like to; be
known as a person of this type?
Designers and creators object
to one's being called a type they
say that everyone is different-
he is an individual. . . True . . .
everyone should be but how many
are?
Why don't you cease being- a re-
print of ideas that have been hand-
ed to you? Why don't you dare to
present those ideas of yours which
you think sound radical.? Why
don't you have some ingenuity of
your own and be unafraid to do
some of these things you have been
wanting to do for so long? Then
some of those things you have been
when you have stopped being some-
one else and start being your-
self you can really enjoy living.
"For the many hours since I saw
the picture I have been swept
cloudlike In the spirit of the hap-
piness that I saw on the screen
There it was so real; so fantastic;
so heavenly. Yet when I left the
theatre everything seemed so dull.
The people and cars here on the
streets are dark and cruel ... I
wish it would not effect me this
way."
This is the paragraph recently
enclosed in a friend's letter regard-
ing his impression of the picture
"lost Horizon." I am sure that
many more people feel the same
way about it
In the picture on the screen we
saw a Utopia. Everyone was
happy; no one was bothered by
the happenings of this "cruel"
world; no one was living for him-
self .alone. His sole thoughts were
for someone else; for the good of
those about him. Here they knew
contentment. It is because of the
fact that these conditions do not
exist in our modern world that it
is so dark and crueL The fact that
we should feel this way is a sign
that we wish it were better that
it were different
Why should this be a Lost hori-
zon? Why can't we find it for
ourselves? True it would be al-
most an impossibility to make a
Utopia of all the world but each
one of us can know a world like
this if one has the desire. In our
own lives we can live for others;
we can work for good and not for
anything evil; we can help to make
the dark light If we strive for
that inward happiness and con-
tentment we shall soon find that
it is available to everyone.
Some of the characters in the
story were not content with their
new found land. They wanted to
leave. They did not care for per-
fection. As soon as they left the
land they lost their immortality;
they themselves were lost; they
died. The same is true with us.
If we do not care for this perfect
living; if we do not want to en-
rich our lives with a peace that is
not man-made we are of no value;
we die.
Why not change the title and
make it applicable to our lives?
Why not "NEW-FOUND HORIZON."

So What
And the Seven Snaps
It was dawn on the campus. The
joys of early morning sleep still
enveloped all the members of the
institution (as it did all day any-
way) and the sunlight dancing on
the dew and peeping through the
great oblong windows of the Ad.
building transformed the pathway
and flower spots into a dreamland
indeed worthy of arising at such
an hour to behold.
Did I say all the students were
still dreaming? I was far wrong.
Excepting one. It was our young
and truly Industrious friend I
Schnapps Fotos up and coming
pitcher-taker communing with na-
ture and himself on the glories of
dawn and endeavoring to enstamp
forever this loveliness on films of
Celluloid. Oh would that we could
have been present to see him stalk-
ing his prey (?) as he proceeded
across the lawn between the
Science and Ad. buildings. For he
was a picture within himself
beautiful copper-wire tresses with
harmonizing freckles little pink
cap on head flung on with the pro-
verbial English masculine careless-
ness (take breath here) with pink
polka-dot bow 'neath his chin pin-
ned on with those hew tin jig-
gers that latest-style boys bow
tits have. His new red satin shirt
and tan plaid golf trousers with no
socks and tennis shoes like Barney
wears fishing show that our hero
has not only artistic taste in re-
ference in the correct placement
sufficient amount of dark and light
and certain distance from the ob-
ject to be photographed in follow-
ing his first love (no honey not a
girl) but he also knew how to
dress so as to look most fetching.
Yes you're right he has some-
thing in his eye I mean a shot in
mind (if any) I mean a picture he
wants to snap. His eye is affixed
intently as he advances cautiously
nearer. "The sun is right it won't
move (the object not the sun) I
hope one more second and I'll pull
the trigger and then cold black and
while will record this spectacle
never before witnessed on Daniel
Baker's campus. The whole world
will have it for proof and it will
be told as a legend to great-grand
children of present students. Oh
how estatically happy am I to be
chosen as the turning point in the
lives of my friends. Such must
have been the thoughts of I Schap-
psy (for short) as the fleeting
second to begin the exposure to a
close. But alas at the precise
moment the second ended the sun
which was just beginning to burst
in all its golden day-time fullness
up into the top of the sky popped
out and fell behind a cloud like a
flat tire.
(Continued next week. Don't fail
to miss the next chapter and find
out just what I. Schnappsy was try-
ing to photograph and what was
the significance of this picture.)

Fits.'
The QUEEN went BIOFKNO
over the LEE. As she. drew near
to the castle her steps became
more LIVELY. Soon the FARMS
of many a MOON arose. She hur-
ried into the HALL where she
smelled such delicious .POO. She
was very HUNGRY this evening
because she had been helping
DONA-HOB ALL (the) CORN.
The POPE and his PORTER
OWEN her a visit were dining with
her. And such delicious food!
They had ENGLISH peas RICE
SWITZER cheese and LAMB
chops. She ate MOORE and
more. She ate so much they
thought it would KWETJBR. For
dessert she ate some of the delici-
ous FIG NEWTON8 that the BAK-
ER had made for her. A ROACH
ran under her chair; so she decided
to STEEL away.
She ran past her BARNES on
LIGHTFOOT. She stumbled on a
BOLBR by the PITTS and BREW'
STBR PINK-NEY. Going on she
heard CARROLLS in the distance
coming from the HARBOUR. A
REED brushed against her leg. She'
went over the LOWE GULLET
crossing the TRUSSBLL which ltd
to the WELLS. By now she was
fa-TRIGG-ed so she drank of the
WATERS of the WELLS. It was
so COLE it gave her a PAYNE
which caused her to BALL.
At the castle her STEWART
talking with his TAYLOR on the
DAVENPORT decided to go to the
BROOKOVER the HILL. He. got
in the WAONON hitched it to the
WHITE horses and soon came to
the rescue of the QUEEN.
When she felt WBLLER he took
her HOMES. She went to sleep
and dreamed of Jack and the BEEN
